"The shrimp cocktail at Golden Bull in Santa Monica Canyon isn't your typical shrimp cocktail. You will not get snow-white chilled shrimp hanging decoratively around a silver goblet loaded with ice. Instead, six shrimp come atop a bed of greens orbiting a ramekin of cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge. While the presentation isn't quite as festive as others, the shrimp itself is a standout. They’re seasoned with a kick of Old Bay and just-grated lemon zest—so tasty on their own, you barely need the sauce. Our only complaint is that shrimp could be a little colder, and the dish isn't on their otherwise solid Happy Hour menu. " - brant cox, arden shore
