The Water Grill Santa Monica
Where: Santa Monica
Why: Lunch $25.00/ Dinner $45.00. Named as the "best seafood in Southern California" by Zagat, Water Grill has been serving world class seafood for over 20 years. DineLA is a good a time as any to head over to the iconic restaurant and indulge in their renowned seafood dishes like the New England clam chowder, Maryland blue crab cake sandwich, Scottish salmon crudo, and Ecuadorian mahi mahi.

Blue Plate Oysterette
Where: Santa Monica
Why: Lunch $25.00/ Dinner $45.00. Blue Plate Oysterette doesn't need much of an introduction. Locals know it offers the best oysters in town, a killer lobster roll (one of the dineLA dinner entree choices!) along with an ocean-view and laid back atmosphere. If you've never had the pleasure of eating at BPO, now is the time to get there. The fixed menu is offering staples like the half-shelled oysters, red curry mussels, that lobster roll we mentioned and fish tacos. [

Littlefork
Where: Hollywood
Why: Dinner $35.00. New this year to dineLA and the L.A. restaurant scene is Chef Jason Travi's seafood bistro Littlefork. The minimalistic restaurant boasts a seafood menu that is inspired by the Atlantic Northeast--which translates to bacon chowder and mussels n'frites. (Both offered for the dineLA menu). [
