1 Pico

1 Pico is a restaurant inside the Shutters on the Beach hotel in Santa Monica that serves California cuisine and seafood. The scallops are seared crisp on the outside, and the seafood platter holds oysters, chowder, crab, and shrimp, paired with wine. A 6 p.m. reservation secures a window seat with an ocean view, and the interior has high ceilings that keep it bright and open. Waits of 20 minutes to order occur, and service is slow with delayed responses.
