Los Angeles' ocean view hotel restuarants



At the Malibu Beach Inn, there are views of the restored Malibu pier and surfers beyond and Carbon Beach to the south. The waves literally come in just below the dining room's windows and the outdoor deck (above). (If you're a fan of HBO's "Entourage," the hotel's romantic ocean side deck was the location used for the lunch scene where Eric intended to propose to Sloane).


Further south in Santa Monica at the Hotel Shangri-La, in an Art Deco-styled dining room that faces Santa Monica's wide beach, chef Dakota Weiss' menus are always innovative.  (Check out the hotel's rooftop view in the photo above! Nice.)

Baleen, the Portofino Hotel &Yacht Club's harbor side restaurant, faces luxe sailboats and ocean cruisers docked in the Redondo Beach Harbor. Wild sea lions can sometimes be heard barking just offshore. 

Dinner with an ocean view -- that's just so L.A.
