26 Beach has officially become my favorite brunch spot after my 2nd visit this past weekend.
I know I would have gone back a lot sooner if I didn' t move down to Orange County right after my 1st visit. >_<  Since we had a friend's bday party to hit in Marina del Rey on July 4th, I finally got the excuse to drag Countryman to go back to 26 Beach with me.

Buca di Beppo
My classmates in IOM599 class LOVE the professor and the class so much. So we went out for dinner and drink on Thur. (This is my only elective class that has such kind of get-together outside of class.) We chose Buca di Beppo and I really like it. It is a family style Italian restaurant. Their house special pizza was huge and tasted great!
I really enjoyed the dinner... but maybe more because of the company! ^_^ More photos are here.
Bruschetta & Giant pizza (don't know what's the exact name of the pizza)

Reel Inn
18661 Pacific Coast Hwy

Reel Inn has the best seafood I've ever had in LA! It's a casual, relaxing place. I felt like I was in a local bar/grill/restaurant near the wharf eating the freshly caught seafood from the ocean.

I got there around 11:30AM and was ready for a long wait. It turned out that the wait wasn't as bad as it was said in all the reviews. However, I didn't think the food was as good either. The omelette I had was a little blank and dry. Though I do like the cozy vibe there. Maybe I should have ordered somethin they're well-known for.
