4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: January 12 | Eater LA

"Perched on the hill above Manhattan Beach’s shoreline, the Kettle carries a timeless, small-town country vibe and remains beloved for its feel-good service and ample space across the dining room and wraparound patio. On recent visits I discovered the awesomeness of the crab cake Benedict, loaded with thick crab patties and covered with luscious hollandaise, and the fluffy buttermilk pancakes are also worth ordering even with a $2 surcharge for a side of real maple syrup. Afterward I like to mosey down to the water to see the winter high surf (which might mean the pier will be closed) and take a stroll down the Strand—there are few better ways to soak in a sunny California winter day." - Eater Staff
