THE LA WATERFRONT IS SOMETHING OF A MIRACLE. It wasn’t so long ago that locomotives moved their freight along Harbor Boulevard. And the ships going in and out of the Main Channel were definitely from a less environmentally-conscious era. Today’s Los Angeles Waterfront is in the midst of a long-term process to make it truly a visitor-friendly place.

The Sunday Brunch, for good reason, is consistently voted the best in the area—to go along with Ports O’ Call’s awards for best happy hour and best banquet facility. It is a favorite for all kinds of events and an outstanding choice for a wedding. With six rooms accommodating from 20 to 400, it suits most needs. There are also three out- door venues with gardens, fountains, and— once again—great views. There’s entertainment year-round and from the spring to the fall the patio is the place for very special afternoons, each having a different theme, including tacos. That’s just the overview. Ports O’ Call Waterfront Dining is really a place you have to experience to appreciate what a culinary treasure it is.
