Enterprise Seafood Co@Santa Monica ★★★

Great Seafood. Love their Ahi Poke. Scallops in the Scallop Risotto tasted like it's missing some salt, but if you eat it with the risotto at the same time, then it would taste great. Mussels were fatty and great. Lobster Bisque was yum yum. Went with a $15 for $30 Groupon.

Scallop Risotto $23.95
prime pan-seared sea scallops served over a creamy seasonal vegetable risotto

Traditional Hawaiian Ahi Poke $9.95

Fresh Steamed Mussels $12.95

Lobster Bisque (cup) $2.95 (side dish upgrade)
