Seaside On The Pier: Delicious seafood and spectacular views in Santa Monica Pier
Last weekend I wanted to spend a fun day with some friends and celebrate one of my best friend's birthday. I was looking for a place with delicious food, drinks and great views. Then I remembered that you can find all that in Santa Monica Pier at Seaside on the pier.
Seaside on the Pier is a restaurant located in Santa Monica Pier. I have been before at the downstairs quick service sandwich shop but this time was a special occasion so we wanted to dine upstairs on their rooftop grill and bar.

At the rooftop you can enjoy the view of the pier's rides including the roller coaster and Ferris wheel, watch the sunset and even listen to the calming sound of the ocean waves.

Not only the food was great, but the cocktails were pretty and delicious. I can't wait to visit again this nautical-themed restaurant and bar.

Here is a description of the food we enjoyed for my friend's birthday

The appetizers

Coconut shrimp
Lightly breaded coconut shrimp with sweet Thai chili sauce. The batter was tight and stuck to the shrimp. They were perfectly crisp on the outside and the shrimp was meaty. The sweet and sour sauce was a nice accompaniment. ​

Fried Calamari
Lightly fried calamari with marinara sauce. You can never go wrong with this appetizer, right? It was delicious and not overwhelming.

Ceviche-style Shrimp Cocktail
​Shrimp with fresh cucumber, tomato, red onion, jalapeño & avocado. This was good, although I had to add tabasco, because I really like my ceviche spicy and even though this one has jalapeño, it wasn't spicy enough for me.

The main dishes

NY Strip
​USDA Choice 12 oz. NY strip, served with seasonal vegetables & hand-cut steak fries. We replaced the fries for a caesar salad for an extra fee. It was tender meat and the greens were so good.

​Fisherman's platter
​Fried cod, shrimp & scallops, served with French fries & coleslaw. OMG this was so good. It was worth going off my meal plan to enjoy some fried seafood. My favorite were the scallops.

Salmon
Grilled salmon, served with seasonal vegetables & cilantro rice. The salmon was so good, and the rice was delicious. They also offer the salmon seared, but my friend chose the grilled one.

The drinks

Sparkling Sangria
​A refreshing sangria that sparkles with strawberries, oranges, mint & Lunetta rosé. 
So refreshing and delicious, I can't wait to go back and have more.

​Can we say tropical delicious? yes please, I want more

Skinny Margarita
Although nothing fancy here, I just want to point out that if you have any dietary restrictions, just ask the restaurant and they will do their best to accommodate you.

The food on Santa Monica Pier is soooo good! In addition to the yummy restaurant eats, we loved stopping at the little street vendors and buying churros and fresh fruit cups.

Oh my gosh, I haven't been to the Santa Monica Pier in over three years! It's such a beautiful place. I need to plan another road trip from NorCal to SoCal ASAP!

I have never been to Sta Monica, but my family and I went to a similar place like this in New Jersey two summers ago and it's called Morey's Piers.. we had a lot of fun and there were so much things to do around the pier that my kids also enjoyed. :)

The best seafood I’ve ever had has been on the coast. But I think I’d be happy with the drinks and the view.
