Enjoy upscale Japanese food in a serene setting with a gorgeous view at this family-friendly addition to Santa Monica Place. There aren’t a lot of upscale restaurants that are child friendly.  There aren’t a lot of mall restaurants that offer sweeping ocean views and 5-star food.  But there is at least one – Ozumo.   The sleek, modern Japanese design extends throughout the dining rooms, and kids delight in watching the chefs in action in the open kitchen, sushi bar or robata grill.  Whether you use your half-off voucher for a lunch interlude for a family day of shopping and the beach, or a romantic evening out, Ozumo serves up a beautiful and delicious escape.

Time flies.  A cliché, but a true one.  It’s so important to capture these moments on film before they become distant memories.  And with the holidays coming up, it’s a great time to get a real picture taken – either of the whole family or just the kids – to share with everyone you love.  When you purchase this deal, you get a location shoot (at one of several L.A. locations) with a professional photographer who knows how to work with you and your kids to find the beauty of a natural moment, not a forced “camera” smile (regularly $300).  You also get 25 printed holiday cards (regularly $75), a DVD slideshow, and one beautiful 8X10 (regularly $45).  You might be able to put a price on what this package would usually cost ($420, to be exact!), but having a photograph that beautifully captures this moment for your family forever is (in the immortal words of MasterCard) priceless.
