Avalon Grille

On our lists of the best romantic restaurants, special-occasion restaurants and restaurants with a view in Los Angeles.

The Wrigley Martini was Philip K. Wrigley's drink, poured at the Wrigley Building in 1950s Chicago, and the only two places that still make it are here and Descanso Beach Club. The central bar it comes from anchors a room with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the harbor, plus a patio on the same view, at the corner of Crescent and Catalina across from the Green Pleasure Pier. The kitchen works local fish and wagyu into a menu that runs to prime rib dip and lobster mac, and it takes cards and phones only.
