When Paul Leclerc joined Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel as General Manager last year, he had a grand plan to start a monthly mexico city acapulco travel package concert event that would offer delicious food, Californian wine, and local craft beer with live music while taking advantage of the hotel's ocean views.

"There are so many places to go – so many great restaurants, bars, and venues in Santa Monica and the local area and sometimes people just forget that there's a hotel down the street and it's not just for the tourists who are visiting. We really want to embrace our local clientele."
"It's a break even event and the focus is primarily to do something that gives our local community and our guests an opportunity to really enjoy our exceptional location and the offerings of our hotel," he said.
Executive Chef Keith Roberts is kept busy during event, which is all hands on deck with 20 of his team working behind the scenes and at various serving stations in the hotel's foyer and outside around the hotel's pool.
"It's intended to be a fun, casual event that showcases the local southern California beach environment with music, food, and beverages," Roberts said. "We want to continue to grow the event and welcome more local residents and guests to it."
"Since we change our menu every event, it gives me a chance to test new food," he said. "I've got two new pizzas on our fall menu that we did on an event a couple of months ago. We've tested a few new banquet items too. It's just a fun event for us to have people enjoy the great views that we have to offer."
Some of Friday's items included freshly made sushi, chicken and beef skewers, fish tacos, mini-pizzas, sliders, corn on the cob with house-made butter, and variety of desserts like chocolate covered cheesecake lollypops.
Next month's event on Sept. 14 will be the sixth concert featuring the John Brown Band. The concert series will continue every month, but most likely mexico city acapulco travel package take a break in December for the holidays mexico city acapulco travel package before returning in January.
"We have a new tagline I'd like to share with you," he said. "A guest told me: 'I've never been to a concert that tasted so good.' So that's our new tagline: 'California Classics: A Concert Never Tasted So Good."
