Son of a Gun

3rd Street is fast-becoming Restaurant Row 2 (except that the sequel is better this time). One of the newest additions is Son of a Gun, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo's (Animal) nod to Florida kitsch. This seafood shack, just a stones throw from the Beverly Center, is replete with nautical tchotchkes and first-come-first-served community seating. Reservations are also available. No matter where you sit, get ready to get messy with fresh, beach-shack-inspired dishes. Wash it all back with a cold can of beer.
