Pico

Pico is a solid dinner option if you’ve already been to Bell’s—or didn’t get in—and don’t feel like traversing the 101 for dinner. The farmhouse-like space is gigantic, with multiple levels, a front bar area, and a patio out back that’s great for big groups. Chairs are big and plushy, like having dinner at a fancy grandmother’s house. The American-ish menu changes frequently, but you can expect a kale salad or two, oversized loaves of cornbread, big plates of red meat, and a particularly decadent bacon cheeseburger. Also, get the ice cream. They make it in-house and use ingredients from the back garden.
