Gracia Mar Vista

$$$
Tucked into the hills of the gated Mar Vista community, this open-air restaurant comes complete with dazzling ocean views, infinity pools for guests to enjoy, and a made-from-scratch farm- and sea-to-table menu. Chef and owner Frankie Becker cooks up fresh seafood, but vegetarians are in luck too, because the crispy cauliflower and hummus platter are mouthwatering. Their cocktail list is extensive and delicious, the passion fruit mojito is a must. There is also a playground.

PuddleFish Brewery

$$

This brewery tasting room serves tasty American-style pub grub. Sit in the modern warehouse setting, or belly up to the bar inside and try a beer flight to go along with your burger or sandwich. They host barbecues on weekends and open jam sessions every Wednesday.
