Steve Marlton’s The Beach on Sunset replaces Sunset Beach, which replaced Dublin’s – this game of musical bars is headache-inducing, but it’s nothing one of The Beach’s 60 oz. specialty cocktails can’t cure.

Reinvented (again) as a swanky bi-level restaurant with an 800 patron capacity, few restaurants that actually are on the beach can compete with The Beach on Sunset’s size and style.  Designed and decorated by owner, Steve Marlton, The Beach is flanked with high tables & chairs and vintage beach posters downstairs; the swankier upstairs dining lounge is blanketed in earth-tones and suede couches with diners dining on wow-they’re-so-cool-but-can-we-sit-in-them chairs.  Chef Michael Brown’s menu pleases both the sports junkie and foodie palette alike.  Having an entire meal comprised of their small plates is not uncommon and is what we recommend – try their jumbo lump crab cake, filet mignon tacos, and their rock shrimp quesadilla and call us to thank us in the morning.  Their 60 oz. (yes, we said 6-0, it is not a typo) specialty cocktails, like the Tidal Wave and claim-to-fame Shark Attack might give you a monster hangover, but we’re sure The Beach’s all-you-can-eat weekend brunch can help you out with that.  – Stephanie Ocampo
