Kincaid's Fish, Chop & Steakhouse

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

Windows wrap the dining room, close enough to the water that waves break against the rocks just below the rail. The raw bar draws people in for oysters and other shellfish, and the kitchen also turns out asiago-almond crusted scallops in a beurre blanc and warm brie under a macadamia crust. Steaks and prime rib round out the menu for anyone not there for seafood. It's been serving the Redondo Beach pier since 1986, and reservations are suggested, especially around sunset.
