Right in the heart of Manhattan Beach, Chez Soi's a seafood-leaning bistro just up from the ocean with a huge outdoor patio, a loungy bar area, and an open-kitchen'd dining room, all from an all-star trio that includes the restaurateur from Fraiche, the chef from Eva, and, most obviously, the pervy dude from Dawn of the Dead.That Eva guy's totally killing it food-wise, with rotating, just-off-the-farm/out-of-the-water dishes like wood-fired octopus w/ peppers and the digits of those snow people in Game of Thrones (fingerlings), as well as the above loup de mer w/ braised lettuces.There're also a few meatier options, including this artichoke-topped lamb belly and a prime beef "cap" w/ brown butter asparagus and Bearnaise.To imbibe, opt for classics like Manhattans and Old Fashioneds, as well as this gin/egg white "Pink Lady", all from a crew of mixologists from a lauded bar in, most obviously, Salt Lake City.
