This concept sounds great and could be a boon to Playa del Rey, especially since that location is one of those places that hasn't been able to sustain a restaurant (its most recent, unsuccessful incarnations were
Tower 42 and Playa Cantina).
From
Eater LA:
...a four-in-one concept setup reminiscent of a town country mart. First, a more casual breakfast-through-dinner counter called King Beach, an ice cream shop named Small Batch, a back room whiskey bar operating as Grain, and a more high end, sit-down dining space, Dockside, which will boast top-notch seafood and more.
The big question is how they're going to fit all those into that space. Last weekend I was in the area and stopped by to see how the makeover was progressing.

| The old Tower 42 sign was still up as of last weekend. |

| Damn graffiti. |

The part that's been worked on actually looks pretty good, but it also looks like there's still a lot to be done, so I'm not sure they're going to be opening as soon as this month. The previous target date was
December.
