Eric’s on the Pier

On our list of the best restaurants with a view in Los Angeles.

A white stripe painted on the decking of the 407-foot Green Pleasure Pier marks off the stools and tables that belong to this stand, on the pier since the 1920s. The buffalo burger is the specialty, though the meat is shipped in rather than taken from the bison herd inland. Clam chowder arrives in a bread bowl, and the beer is served out on the patio above the beach.
