Speaking of Hotel Restaurants....

Just to follow-up on our last post about the Oceana Santa Monica, we checked out another hotel restaurant this past weekend, Coast, at Shutters on the Beach.

Originally, this was a casual beachfront breakfast and lunch spot called Pedals. After a big renovation the place is still a casual brunch spot but the decor has been kicked up a few notches. We're not interior designers but if we had a home to decorate, we would model it after Coast.

It's a bit like a room in a Pottery Barn catalog but when you are steps away from the beach, this blue and white decor with dark wood furniture feels so right. And the food does too.
