Vista is a spacious pan-Asian seafood spot on the Hermosa Beach Pier right near The Strand, and it’s the best place to catch the sunset while having a casual, sit-down dinner. Both the horseshoe bar inside and tables outside have unobstructed coastline views, which is part of the reason Vista tends to be packed when the sun’s out. Some other reasons: the lobster roll topped with dill pollen, solid tiki cocktails, and dog-friendly patio policy. Come during Happy Hour (Monday through Thursday, 3 to 5pm) or plop down in an Adirondack chair by one of the fire pits on a chilly evening.
