Thanks for all the input.
We had a fun lunch at Beaches in Manahattan Beach. It is right next to the pier which gave a fun view and a very good cold glass of Hefeweizen beer. It was white table cloth and the salad and oyster poor boy were really good. It is an easy 10 minute drive to LAX after lunch.
We also had a a Sunday early dinner at Cafe del Ray before catching a flight on Sunday. It was a fabulous dinner. It will certainly be on my list on my next trip to LA.
