The LA Link & Dine Restaurants - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"In Rome, you might take a tour of the Vatican City, climb the steps of the Sistine Chapel, and look out on the Piazza San Pietro. In Santa Monica, you take the elevator up to the roof of the Proper Hotel and look out past the 7-11 and CVS onto the Pacific. Calabra is not Rome, but the crowd is happy to have a reason to be dressed while surrounded by rattan furniture, palm fronds, and a swimming pool. Though these design elements are evocative of Tulum, it doesn’t feel gimmicky—it’s just nice to see and be seen somewhere other than the farmer’s market. Plus, the cocktails and Mediterranean food here are quite good, from the kebabs and dips to hefty burgers and gyros. All dining transactions at the Proper in Santa Monica are part of the Link & Dine program." - Team Infatuation
