Boathouse on the Bay

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

At Alamitos Bay Landing, Boathouse on the Bay took over a space that had been McKenna's on the Bay for more than a decade, reopening under Naples Restaurant Group in 2014 with much of the same steak-and-seafood formula. The dining room and patio look out over the marina, with a fire pit table outside and live music some evenings. The kitchen runs oysters, sushi and day-boat scallops alongside steaks and pasta, backed by a happy hour and a standing Wednesday wine discount.
