    Mother's Day Brunch was absolutely lovely. The food on the prix fixe menu was well chosen and deliciously prepared. Our sever Jonathan was divine so hopefully he's still working there if you visit. So happy with the whole experience and also, there were kids around us (ate on the patio) and they enjoyed the live music and the outdoor environment so I think it's great for families.

    Beautiful restaurant inside Shutters on the Beach and the service was exceptional. The food was very good, but could have been better...the halibut was cooked well but bland although they serve sauces which added flavor. The salmon was slightly undercooked. The brussel sprouts were delicious. And for the price you pay the portions are small.

    The food was very good. (The vegan mushroom soup was actually outstanding.) The view of the beach is just stunning. The service, though, is the best. Jonathan took care of our every request. What an incredible evening.

    Food was excellent - we had a lobster roll and lobster egg Benedict (we like lobsters !) after a dozen Kumamoto oysters. Dessert was a light apple sorbet. Everything was very fresh and our waiter Jonathan was extremely attentive and and made us feel special.

    We were there last night. We had Dine LA menu-a mistake.We were 4 people. 2 ordered steak The steak was nothing but salted . The server never came to check how is your food. When it comes pick the dishes, my steak was untouched except one bite. He said he will talk to chef. No replacement offered The chocolate cake dessert was as if it taken off a freezer box. Do not order Dine LA menu I have dined here before with good food- may be dine LA menu preparation is not that great

    This particular occasion was an evening Birthday dinner. However, I have enjoyed One Pico on many occasions for both lunch (when open for lunch) and dinner. It does not disappoint in the courtesy of its staff, excellent bar, quality of cuisine and ambience.

    It was a wonderful experience. Our server was so attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. He made our meal enjoyable. I had the kale chicken Caesar salad and it was delicious. The chicken was not a chopped, dry chicken. It was a moist quarter of a chicken! My husband had the chicken and waffles and loved it. Our other guests had the lobster eggs Benedict and the frittata. We all enjoyed our entrees and can’t wait to go back!

    Everything was perfect except the scallops were a little over cooked and too salty and you only got four of them for $40 so I should be perfect. However, Wagyu beef, kale, Caesar salad, Hamachi, Crudo, short rib, pasta, and wine. All delicious. Service was thoughtful and also perfect. The restaurant is beautiful and they let us take our time. This is our current favorite restaurant in LA. Too bad about the scallops.

    The food was great! The hostess gave us very bad seat. The seats near the window were empty but they were not giving to us because we were 2. After half an hour they gave those seats to 2 couples! I booked in in advance and the Dane day I even called and got the confirmation for the windows tables. It was special occasion for my friend and I and we are not happy with the service at all.

    We were expecting to have brunch in the courtyard. If we had been notified that there wasn’t service out there we would have made other plans. Instead we were seated in a very noisy & crowded dining room. We’ve eaten there many times before & loved it. I guess it was just an off day.

    We have enjoyed dining at 1 Pico many times in the past but things have seriously deteriorated while the prices have just gone up. We ordered the mushroom soup starter which was fine but not worth $20. The main courses were fine but boring. Just plain grilled food without any imagination. I ordered the chicken and my husband ordered a fish. My chicken was a bit over cooked so that the white meat was dry. My husbands fish was too salty. Apparently they use salt freely but nothing else. I could have cooked this meal myself for one tenth the price. Another thing to note is that the meals do not come with any vegetables so you might as well add $14 to the cost of your main course. This is a deceptive way to charge more for a main course. Also, the side was so poor that we had to send it back twice! Ultimately we did not get any vegetables. Another weird thing is that the restaurant was almost empty and yet they sat us at a tiny table for 2 in a lousy location. Why not seat us in a better spot when there is no other reservations. Very poor. Overall, we will never go back. Absolute waste of maintenance and time.

    A beautiful place to eat. We were celebrating our anniversary and the place was perfect. Beautiful quiet table where we almost felt that we were alone. The view was beautiful but at this time a year it was quite dark outside and not as pretty as during the summer. That’s probably why the restaurant was only half full. The food was delicious too and our waiter was very nice. Great place for a romantic dinner
