A Santa Monica Canyon staple since 1949, the Bull is an old-school chophouse, dark and intimate, with a fireplace and booths for martini drinking at the bar. The menu is just as classic: Caesar and chopped salads, shrimp cocktails, linguine, pork chops, and various steaks served with loaded baked potatoes and creamed spinach. The Astroturf garden, built in the parking lot, is still a great way to spend a day at the beach.
