Our Favorite Restaurants
Chef Roberto has a way of making you feel at home whether you come alone or with a big group. My kids LOVE the cannelloni, I get linguini Vongole (clams and white wine sauce), Zucca Ravioli or the their salmon dish and of course my husband always goes for the rack of lamb. He has nice selections of wines and our favorite dessert is the Tiramisu! Enjoy!

Although easier to go during the week because it can get busy on the weekend, this is our go to place when we forget to make a breakfast reservation. Kids love their bread pudding warmed up with warm milk on the side! Don't miss out on their scones and flourless chocolate cakes. My favorites are is their acai bowl and or Banana nut waffle! A delicious start to your day!

Koreatown’s best and affordable food! Ifyou love soy-marinated raw crab or are only familiar with Korean barbecue this lace is a great way to get to know more about Korean food.
My favorite dish is the buttery, sweet crab marinated in a blend of green chilies, white onion and soy sauce. Service may be a little fast and not so gentle.. but he food is delicious and the experience is quite special.g

Best Breakfast
California/American style food. The food is good but you come here for the beautiful, relaxing vibe and to really feel like you are in LA. Breakfast before you spend the day at the beach, lunch while at the beach or dinner to watch the sunset. Parties over 6 can make a reservation otherwise it is first come first serve. Parking is the beach lot per hour/half day or full day. We practically live here because the beach is a family beach with showers and a pool (you have to pay per person and come early because it fills up fast!)

Sightseeing
We live in LA and had SO MUCH fun doing this with our kids. The hike is actually not the easiest and if you want to make it to the sign leave as early as possible because it will get very hot and the hike to the sign does take a while. Wear shoes with good traction and bring water and sunscreen!
