The Verdict
THE PENTHOUSE AT HUNTLEY HOTEL is the Santa Monica rooftop restaurant and bar whose panoramic view — the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Santa Monica mountains to the north, the entire Los Angeles basin extending to the east — communicates the most comprehensively beautiful available non-Malibu coastal Los Angeles panorama applied through a contemporary American rooftop setting whose accessibility makes it the most romantic available Santa Monica rooftop dining address. The panoramic view whose specific vantage communicates the entire Los Angeles coastal geography from a single available outdoor table; the contemporary American cooking whose quality communicates genuine culinary knowledge applied in service of the view; and the Santa Monica 2nd Street location whose beach-adjacent neighbourhood character creates the most specifically coastal available LA rooftop setting.
Why It Works for a Proposal
