The Lobster is also celebrating its milestone 100th anniversary in its original location, a rare feat for any restaurant in the world. The legendary seafood restaurant is an internationally recognized dining destination that is as much a part of Santa Monica’s history as the Santa Monica Pier. To mark this momentous occasion, the Michelin Plate-lauded restaurant is hosting a special celebration on National Lobster Day, September 25, 2024, followed by month-long festivities throughout National Seafood Month this October. 

Situated at the intersection of Route 66 and the Pacific Ocean, The Lobster has been a cherished landmark for locals and visitors for decades, offering not only mesmerizing views of the Santa Monica Pier and Malibu coastline but also an award-winning seafood menu under the masterful guidance of acclaimed Chef Govind Armstrong. With Armstrong at the helm, The Lobster has earned the prestigious Michelin Plate award in 2019 and is currently listed in the Michelin guide; a testament to its commitment to culinary excellence.
