restaurant in Huntington Beach?
 
Does anyone know of any good restaurants in Huntington Beach? I will be visiting there next week for a few days. Thanks-

The Californian at the Hyatt Regency is just about the only really good eatery in Huntington Beach. If you can get down to Newport Beach, there are lots of good places (Fleming's Steakhouse, Abe, Aubergine, Basilic, etc.), and Laguna Beach is great too (Studio, Picayo, etc.).

Not a knock out, but Duke's on the beach is good; casual and relatively inexpensive. Great house margarita. I would also recommend the Cannery in Newport Beach, lovely seafood and fish.

I agree with the Newport option. Lots of great restaurants in the area. My fave is provencial French place right on Newport Ave. Also, 21 Oceanfront on the boardwalk right by the pier.

If you go north on the 405, there's a great place in Seal Beach called Spaghettini's. No view, but fantastic food and martinis

Spaghettini's is a good suggestion, actually. If the OP can head up all the way into Seal Beach, I'd also recommend one right off of PCH on Main: Walt's Wharf, a wonderful neighborhood seafood restaurant (hint: Caramelized Salmon is their specialty, and is superb-- and their daily specials are sublime). If they continue north into Long Beach, I can also name some other fantastic places.

And if instead they wish to drive south on PCH all the way to Dana Point, the restaurants at the St. Regis and the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel are both excellent.

For great grilled lobster tails and other simply-prepared seafood, served in a very funky southern Cal. atmosphere, I highly recommend The Crab Cooker at Newport Beach. It gets really long lines, so get there early and be hungry! You can get a bowl of their great clam chowder while you wait in line, and watch the sunset. I'm getting hungry just thinking of it!
