Choose from Maine or California spiny lobster specialties, or from the host of other meals made from locally sourced produce and fresh seasonal ingredients. The menu at this Santa Monica restaurant has been thoughtfully created by celebrity Chef Govind Armstrong.

The Lobster Santa Monica serves lunch, dinner, dessert and a wonderful happy hour that can include a free unforgettable sunset if your timing is right! For a memorable dining experience with classic California ambiance, this Santa Monica restaurant is a must-try.
