"You can’t see Hawaii from the bar at this tiki-inspired Venice restaurant, but the thousands of miles of Pacific Ocean that separate the two seem more navigable while sampling the restaurant’s Hawaiian and Pacific Rim izakaya favorites. Taste a flight of The Lost Explorer expressions while ordering huli huli chicken or the miso black cod ssam and relaxing in its bright, wicker-heavy dining room. On a quiet afternoon, you can hear the ocean just steps away — though the lively vibe of the House means it’s rarely that silent." - Robert Spuhler
