Connie and Ted's Seafood

This West Hollywood spot is a New England seafood shack with a modern California twist, with a raw bar, three different styles of New England chowder, and a real focus on shellfish. There’s a lobster roll, peel-and-eat shrimp, clams served a half-dozen ways, and whole lobsters priced by the pound. There’s plenty of other seafood, too, from a Portuguese Stew to Fish and Chips and more, all served in an airy space with an open kitchen and lots of al fresco dining that faces Santa Monica Boulevard. A view of LA traffic might not replace the coast of Maine, but if you close your eyes and ears, the food will take you most of the way there.
How to book: Reservations can be made online.

This East Coast-inspired, seafood-driven staple has a Christmas Eve feast in the works, complete with a starter of Lobster Bisque, a bubbly Cioppino or Smoked Ribeye entree, and a dessert of Bread Pudding topped with bourbon sauce. The restaurant is also ready to help those looking to complete their at-home holiday spread with lots of to-go offerings, including chilled shrimp cocktail, smoked fish dip, Parker House rolls, whole pies, cookie dough, and cocktail kits.
