Ocean and Vine, Loews Santa Monica Hotel, Santa Monica
A COMPLETE EXPERIENCE Its undeniable the postcard view from this must-visit restaurant is a major draw card for hotel guests and locals alike. Sunset, surf and sand aside, its whats inside Ocean and Vine that truly makes dining here so special. Arrive early to cozy up on the plush donut-shaped lounge that encircles a roaring fire pit-but not without a signature raspberry mojito in hand.
FRESH, FABULOUS FARE Service here is impeccable, as are the meals that boast farmers market-fresh ingredients-and fabulous flavors that linger long after dinner is over. Start your culinary journey with the roasted garlic chipotle hummus with herb and Parmesan encrusted flat bread; followed by the tender roasted eggplant with Israeli couscous and tofu, a dish prepared especially for vegans. Sides of broccoli rabe with roasted garlic and risotto, asparagus tips and shaved Parmesan is a vegetarian favorite. Feast on fresh berries for dessert before retreating back to where it all began: fireside overlooking the lights of Santa Monicas famous pier.
TIP Ocean and Vine is the perfect spot for a romance-infused double date, or to celebrate special events with the entire family.
1700 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, 90401.

Did you know that sunscreen doesn’t really prevent cancer? Did you know that many sunscreen products actually contain chemicals that cause cancer? Because the cancer and sunscreen industries would never disclose such truths due to the huge profits being had, it’s up to you to research what you should and shouldn’t put on your skin. Think about it: your skin is your body’s largest organ, which means anything you put onto it will makes its way into your body. Simply put, if you can’t eat it, don’t even think about putting sunscreen, or any other toxic beauty product, on your skin.
