I rather figured as much - this place was suggested as a venue for a family dinner - most of us from well out of town - east coast actually - family ranging from early 20's to 70's....didn't want to bring my parents there if it is loud or over-run with 20-somethings.....I heard the location is nice and food is good - prices a little high. Was looking for thoughts...

jenn,<BR><BR>I was just kidding. Your header is really not what you want in a header....it can be taken several ways. I choose to do it "funny".<BR><BR>Had your header read --The Lobster (Restaurant) in Santa Monica-- people might know you meant a restaurant. Your header did not indicate that. <BR><BR>Might be one reason you have really had no responses.<BR><BR>Shrimp this

The Lobster is indeed a restaurant at the foot of the Santa Monica Pier and it is exactly the place you want to take an extended family for a nice $$$$ dinner. Nothing trendy about it, not full of 20somethings, great view and recently well reviewed in the LA Times.

Jenn,<BR>It's overpriced and the food is mediocre to poor. Really didn't like it at all.<BR><BR>M.

Great views of pier, beach and Malibu and food is MUCH better than you would expect from this type of location.<BR><BR>Very casual dress (shorts OK, esp. at lunch), prices vary from $12 for a sandwich to $50 for a 2lb lobster. Figure about $25 entree.<BR><BR>Lunch is better, IMO, because of the views. Or go at sunset.<BR><BR>Enjoy.<BR><BR><BR>CoachBoy<BR>
