A Rooftop Restaurant with Stunning Views of Santa Monica
The Penthouse is a rooftop restaurant located in the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica, California. It offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the city skyline. The restaurant has been open since 2008, and it’s known for its contemporary California cuisine, its extensive wine list, and its lively atmosphere.
The Penthouse was originally conceived by hotelier John Vaillancourt, who wanted to create a restaurant that would offer guests and locals alike a unique dining experience. The restaurant was designed by Thomas Schoos, who is known for his work on other high-profile projects, such as the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles.
There are a few things that make The Penthouse unique. First, the views are simply stunning. You can see the Pacific Ocean, the city skyline, and even the Santa Monica Pier from the restaurant. Second, the cuisine is contemporary California, which means that it’s fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced. Third, the wine list is extensive, with over 1,000 wines to choose from. And fourth, the atmosphere is lively and sophisticated.
The Penthouse has a great happy hour. From 3pm to 6pm, Monday through Friday, you can get $5 glasses of wine, $4 beers, and $3 cocktails. This is a great time to try some new wines or cocktails, or to catch up with friends.
On weekends, The Penthouse has a brunch menu that features delicious dishes like avocado toast, huevos rancheros, and pancakes. The brunch menu is also available for delivery and takeout.
