    Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. The service was good in general, but at times it felt like the server was absent. On the positive side, we certainly didn’t feel rushed to leave. 😁

    Always one of our favorite restaurants as we stay in the Shutters hotel often but we were disappointed this time - the menu has changed and new items are not as appealing, or tasty - and very expensive . We will hope for a better experience next time .

    Our server made a special occasion even better. He punctuated a wonderful day with a friendly gesture that made the night one to remember. His kindness won’t soon be forgotten. Give that man a raise. We went to Shutters on the occasion of our thirteenth anniversary on the recommendation of a friend. I too will certainly recommend Shutters to others. My only onion is that the dress code isn’t enforced more strictly. The diners wearing shorts were an eyesore.

    We have dined at 1 Pico many many times. I was always looking forward to the dining experience. What a disappointment. The menu is unimaginative and for the pricing is very ordinary. Our server Johnathan was condescending and bordering on arrogant when we had questions about the menu. The bocconcini salad was a deconstructed version and was bland at best. My wife’s short rib pasta was barely edible and my halibut was bland and over cooked. It is a shame as this was one of our favourite restaurants anywhere.

    It was my first time going to 1 Pico, mainly to listen to the live jazz music and celebrate my mom’s birthday at brunch. The restaurant was lovely, chic, modern, impeccable service, and the food was great too. The outside patio was perfect for brunch and listening to live jazz (vocals and guitars). The only issue I noticed was the occasional noise from the street since the courtyard was right on the street a block from the beach. Otherwise, it was a great first experience. The band even sang my mom’s favorite song for her birthday. I will be going back for sure! :)

    Loved this dining experience at 1 pico! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our server had a great attitude towards our many questions and served a party of 6 with two kids skillfully. The ambiance was perfect for a family with grandparents and also kids. It is a beautiful use of the beach and watching the sunset was priceless. Lighted trees in the courtyard add a nice atmosphere in the evening. Nice wine selection as well. Valet parking. Would return! We will mark this as a very memorable occasion.

    I got the ribeye and my guest got the filet. Very unimpressed with the food. First, there was a hair in my steak so they made me another one and instead of medium it was close to well done. I could barely eat it. I don’t mind spending the money but the food is not good so it is a waste of money. The ocean view is great and the ambience is too. The service was also very good. I’m a big steak eater and this was, unfortunately, one of the worst and most tasteless steaks I’ve ever had.

    This place is cute! The live music was amazing which helped the overall ambience. The only thing is that based off the food itself, way too pricey. You’re paying more for location than food. The Benedict’s and skillets were $30~$35, pretty up there for a usual breakfast option. But overall really nice. The one bad thing is that they charge you $10 for any option of water you get.

    Despite warning us that service outside might be spotty, we had a wonderful meal and the service was fine. All of the meals were enjoyed, and I can personally attest to the seared Mexican Wild Caught Blue Fin Tuna. One Pico is not a bargain, but if you want high quality even at high prices, then this restaurant fills the bill.

    We were given a table by the window which had an amazing view of the beach! The service and food were fantastic! We had the kale caesar with chicken and the mushroom omelet. Both were fabulous! Our server, Ignacio, was attentive and friendly, yet provided us with lots of time to enjoy the setting and we never felt rushed at all! We'll definitely be back!
