To be honest, we don't leave the westside bubble very often (and literally zero times since having a baby) so this list is just for those who are on this side of town or planning on venturing out this way! A mix of breakfast/dinner and coffee spots. ...

I frequent this restaurant nearly every weekend. It's one of those rare spots that does breakfast/brunch just as well as dinner. Everything I've tried has been so good. This particular location is right near the beach too, so you can grab a smoothie/...
Great White
Our favorite date night spot since having a baby. They bring the food out QUICK! The pasta is flown in daily from Italy and I truly havent tasted anything better/fresher. This location sits on the marina so if you time it right you can catch the most...
UOVO | Marina Del Rey
SO GOOD. I've tried nearly everything on this menu and have yet to order something I did not enjoy. I recommend this spot to all friends who are visiting from out of town for a great meal.
Ospi Venice
Get the pancakes. Just trust me

Le Great Outdoor Restaurant
Proper hotel rooftop restaurant - its SOOO good. Mediterranean menu but there are options outside of that if thats not your vibe. Love going for breakfast/brunch. Stunning decor and the service is top tier.
Calabra

Felix Trattoria
Great sushi spot in Venice! Decor/vibe is romantic and stunning. Lots of great items on the menu. It's easy to get a res here despite it always being fairly busy. I love to take out of towners here for an early dinner and then walk Rose. Street parki...
