Penthouse Los Angeles

Penthouse sits at 1111 2nd St in Santa Monica. It offers a contemporary, international menu that leans into modern culinary techniques.

The dining room is dressier than its neighbors on the street, making it a better choice if you want to trade the usual beach-casual atmosphere for something more formal. While the coastal location brings an influx of tourists, the kitchen manages to maintain a consistent standard that the surrounding casual spots struggle to match. You are a twenty-minute walk from Rodeo Drive, providing a quiet remove from the high-traffic retail strips. If you prefer your dinner with a view, it delivers, though the main reason to reserve a table here is that the menu remains focused despite the reach of its international influences.
