california's best oceanfront restaurants for your valentine. parker'slighthouserestaurant is located in shoreline village in long beach, and is a close 2nd of one of my favorite places. the have a gorgeous view of the the harbor, ocean as-well. plus should you choose to sit on the 2nd floor you can see farther out to the sea. the manager, michael of the establishment told me a few years ago they have a new vast, brand new-wine cellar up-stairs. in addition to this he'd explained on the 3rd floor they have a new restaurant called: queens view steakhouse. thou, i've never eaten on the 3rd floor i can only imagine their entrees are as amazing as the 1st floor. i love their shrimp cocktail, fish & chips and of-course a fine glass of california chardonnay. they have an open table policy, but do except walk-in patrons. i've never made a reservation here, as i prefer to sit outside for the view of the ocean. you can make a reservation on-line too at: http://www.parkerslighthouse.com/ the pic/below is the view from outside. lovely...
