At the end of the short Strand walk was King Harbor, where Blue Water Grill, Cheesecake Factory, and Portofino Hotel/Baleen Restaurant is at. We love Baleen, the food - amazing. It's on the pricier side, but a coupon from restaurant.com can ease up the tab for you. There's also a great happy hour area where they play live music, so it will be something that B and I might consider checking out one of these days. The view is of the marina, and I can just imagine this place during the holidays, when the boats are lit up with x'mas lights. This place also offers wedding reception, but there was no way we could afford to have a wedding here. My gf D had her reception at the Cheesecake Factory, and the view on the second floor of CF place is really nice. We loooove CF - their chicken piccata is my favorite dish. And the tamale cakes, and the cheesecake - forgetaboutit.
Blue Water Grill is another place I was considering for our wedding reception. The food is decent enough, and the view is just as great, but the establishment is showing signs of age, and so I changed my mind. The good news is that Shade Hotel/Zinc Nightclub will be here late next year, which I am excited to check out because the planned architecture is something you've never seen in RB. RB likes to keep things on a slow pace, but King Harbor definitely needs a jump-start. Their Manhattan Beach counterpart is our go-to place to have our boogie on in South Bay, the clientele is around our age range (30's and up), and there is; albeit spase, dancing area. And their margherita pizza is yummy. I love meeting people to this restaurant.
Anyhoo, we only spent a brief amount of time on RB today, but it's definitely a nice change of pace from the HB and MB beach stretches. It's quiet, less crowded, which makes the place all the more beautiful to us. And when you have a large, naturally curious dog, less is definitely more.
