Situated at the corner of Ocean Avenue and the Santa Monica Pier, The Lobster seafood restaurant is an internationally recognized dining destination that is as much a part of Santa Monica’s history as the Santa Monica Pier. Originally opened in 1923, the 900 square foot building, fondly referred to by locals as the quintessential ‘seafood shack,’ sold locally caught fresh fish. It wasn’t until dishwasher-turned-owner, Mateo Castillo, took the helm in the 1950’s, that The Lobster became a favorite seafood diner. Its popularity was often evidenced by the line of hungry customers, wrapping out the door, in anticipation of ordering a meal from the menu of 60 prepared fresh seafood options. Seating was comprised of 30 stools that encompassed the outside of the building. So beloved by LA residents and tourists alike that the restaurant thrived well throughout the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s.

The Lobster shut its doors in 1985. In 1995, a group of local families came together to begin the process of reviving, reinventing and expanding The Lobster. With the original structure incorporated into the new building’s main entrance, The Lobster celebrated its reopening in 1999. Today, The Lobster stands as a modernly appointed, two-story cantilevered restaurant with glass walls to take advantage of one of the best dining views in Santa Monica. What better way to dine than with 180+° views of the Pacific Ocean from Santa Monica up the Malibu coastline, the Palisades Park, all from the bird’s perch overlooking the Santa Monica Pier?

The Lobster prime location, at the onset of the Santa Monica Pier and end of Route 66, draws locals and international diners alike. Enjoying renowned celebrity Chef Govind Armstrong’s crafted meals, designed to satisfy the palates of taste-makers and food lovers everywhere, against the backdrop of sweeping ocean and pier views, makes The Lobster one of Los Angeles’s premiere dining destinations. Whether enjoying happy hour, sharing a romantic evening, even celebrating a special occasion, whatever the reason, The Lobster aims to make your visit a wonderful event!

HOW IT WORKS:

Phase One - we get enough support to go forward. We take a non-refundable deposit - this is not the cost of the dinner approx. will hold your space. Should the dinner not hit the minimum - we will refund your purchase. Should the dinner continue, deposit is forfeited if you do not complete the registration.

Phase Two- we have reached enough reservations to go forward and have signed the agreement with the venue. Event is now rain or shine and no cancellation policy is enforced. We open 1 bottle per guest - maximum 15 guests/15 wines (minimum). We always aim to under promise and over deliver - and bring back of wines should we have an issue; but our policy is that corked wine can and does occur - see our policy - one bottle per paying guest, and price of dinner is not predicted on any one wine remain in place and are accepted at deposit.

For some events, we will offer companion tickets (please inquire - they maybe sold out at this time) (only available with a full price companion - you will share their wine)

Once we reach the minimum - we issue invoices that need to be paid inside of 48 hours. Deposit Price of the event includes tax but does not include service and 3.5% credit card fee.

===============================================================

Our Policy

All tickets are non-refundable. We can adjust your menu for dietary needs up to 72 hours prior without any additional cost. Wines can change without notice, failure or corked wine at the dinner does not result in any type of credit or refund. We open one bottle minimum per paying guest, and can reduce the total number of bottles being opened so that the dinner does not have to cancel should ticket sales not reach the minimum. Fewer bottles equals larger pours - you will get the same quantity of wine and we always open the best wines for the quality of the event. Cancellation due to illness is not allowed, you may however take food to go - or assign your seat to someone else without fee. The perishable nature of our product requires no cancellation, no credit, no refunds for any reason - this is like an airline flight or Dodger game… once it goes, its gone.
