“Came across the on a walk back from Venice Beach. Highly recommend.“

“While the facility is nothing to talk about, the pastrami is something that you must have (with chili and dipped)! Every person that I've ever taken here has been back for the pastrami! Some have had the colossal burger, which comes with the pastrami, with chili, is one of the best in the business“

“Sylvia ( bartender) is the business! She's the epitome of customer ( client) services. Sylvia always makes us as clients feel welcome and she knows our preferences, as the moment I walk in she is already pouring my favorite spirit and ordering my favorite dish! That's what I call quality assurance. Mel is good too! After that the cocktail servers suck!“

“I love their beyond burguers😋...“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“Tonight we, my husband and I, with our dear friends, the Crays, dined at Tomat for the first of what will be many times. The restaurant features a dining room and a roof top patio. A welcoming, comfortable space. The staff were all friendly and very knowledgeable about all menu items. Our server Miley took excellent care of us throughout dinner and dessert. She assisted us with choosing items that would pair well with each other. She was never too busy to stop to see if everything was to our liking. She brought the chef to our table so we could let him know personally how much we enjoyed his creations. He gave us a bit of background on his plan of sustainability and creativity for his restaurant. The food was amazing. We had several appetizers. The tuna carpaccio was amazing, light and dark tuna with the freshest tomatoes. The welsh rarebit was so delicious. The weiser melon with strawberry kimchi was a delicious surprise. The house milled saffron rice was amazing. Our mains did not disappoint. The trout and chips were excellent. Everyone at the table said “best trout we have ever had”. The vegetable chips were outstanding. The vaca vieja ribeye was perfectly cooked. The pork three ways with chamoy was also perfectly cooked. Dessert was madelines, warm from the oven, with the strawberry sorbet and the saffron ice cream. All were outstanding. Overall, this was a fabulous dining experience. Great food with great service in such a comfortable atmosphere. And, we have already made reservations for next month!“

“Had the best tortilla soup ever! And Chef Steven Lutz circulating through the restaurant to say hi and assure everyone having great food and service was a treat. Don’t miss the baked goods like banana cream pie. Amazing! Very pleased and will be back again!“

“I came across Playa Provisions when in town for business. It was a short Uber from the airport, so I figured I'd give it a try. This place is an absolute gem! It is a unique setup that has everything you'd possibly need from morning until late at night: Cafe in the front for coffee and fresh baked good, as well as full breakfast menu. Later in the heat of the afternoon, take a break from the beach (right across the street) and enjoy hand scooped specialty ice cream cones and shakes. Oh look, it's dinner time... and Playa Provisions opens their dining room and bar, some of the best, most relaxed ambience you'll find for miles around. But don't let the casual setting fool you, this is some incredible, elevated cuisine. Chef owners Nick and Brooke (who you might recognize) crafted a menu that's I've been eating my way through, and have yet to find a dish that's not delicious. You've been eating and drinking all day, and are exhausted? Don't leave yet! Wander into the back 'secret' whiskey bar, (Grain Whiskey Bar) and enjoy hand crafted cocktails from award winning bartenders (no, literally), in a gorgeous wood laden atmosphere. I consider myself a foodie, and try as many different restaurants and cuisines as I can. And yet, Playa Provisions remains my favorite restaurant in LA (and that's saying something, considering the amazing places in LA). Run, don't walk, to Playa Provisions. You'll thank me.“

“Good quality food. Healthy options. Great service. My favorite is the braised beef and mushroom with mashed potatoes. The mango tart is amazing.“

“We had excellent food and service from Kenni!“

“Warm, hands on and personalized service. A Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant…Food Made from Scratch, fresh, unique, different, and affordable. Highly recommended! The red onion focaccia bread with herb and Parmesan butter, added Burrata - best- seller, a must. The 3 day brined smoked fried chicken-different taste, with soy and Chiles, a must!!!The Peruvian pork belly with sweet potato , Criolla and crispy quinoa , love it! And the Grilled NY steak with green garlic chimichurri, chorizo aioli and pommes pont neuf, thick cut fries…my son prefers over the fried chicken.“

“The food is absolutely brilliant, the parking is okay, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great“

“thoroughly enjoyed this place!!“

“Great food and service (Amanda did a great job), I love their double r 20 oz cowboy’s rib eye and I like the ambiance it is very cozy.“

“Although I didn't end up dining here, I did stop by while exploring Manhattan Beach and was impressed by the location. The restaurant sits in an incredible spot right near the water, with beautiful ocean views and one of the best sunset settings in the area.

We initially planned to eat here but decided on a different type of cuisine at the last minute. Even so, the atmosphere alone left a positive impression. The outdoor area looked inviting, and there were plenty of people enjoying the view and relaxing by the beach.

The surrounding area felt clean, comfortable, and very enjoyable to walk around. It's the kind of place where you can easily spend an evening taking in the scenery, whether you're dining or simply passing through. Based on the location and overall vibe, it's definitely somewhere I'd consider trying on a future visit.

If you're looking for a restaurant with a prime beachfront setting and spectacular sunset views, this spot is worth putting on your list.“

“Overall a nice stay: friendly staff, nice updated facilities, free ♿️ valet👌-3 to 4 blocks from beach. Very expensive at $500 per night, used the 2 $10 free tickets at bar for 2 drinks and still owed $8.36. This was the host hotel and stayed 2 nights Fri/Sat July 22-23, 2022, with hamburger & soup in room, total $1100. T.“

“The best shrimp n grits I've ever had.“

“Delicious, a wonderful experience and loved the waitress!“

“Never had a bad meal or service!“

“It was a really great happy hour experience! Though next time I think I'll avoid going when there's a large sports event going on. It was so loud my friend and I had to yell at eachother the whole time. But if you're into sports I assume it would be a fantastic environment!“

“One of the best restaurants around. From the Yellow Tail Crudo to the Farmers Market Peas & Burrata di Puglia to the Salt Spring Mussels to the Duck Egg Pizza. Everything was simply amazing and the service, drinks and energized atmosphere make this a place we like to come to often. Highly recommended.“

“Food is great and staff is so friendly and helpful. It’s right on the beach, perfect for enjoying the outside.“

“My pork chop with vegetable mix was outstanding; the Whiskey & Aged White Cheddar burger was also very good; the Fish, Beef & Shrimp Taco Tri was very good, but super spicy. Finally, the Orange Chicken was very tasty w/a hint of smokey flavor and a great sauce. Sorry, we dove in before remembering to take pictures.“

“Simply Bellisimo. Perfection.“

“Everything great“

“food and drinks were so good!“

“We found this place on accident and boy was it a happy accident! Margaritas done right, Caesar salad was fresh and crisp. Crab cakes were small but great! Chicken parm was absolutely wonderful! Chicken Cobb salad was delicious! The service was attentive, even though we were in a corner booth she made us feel prioritized. I would 10/10 recommend and go again!“

“Had the Thai bowl... YUM!“

“To John Hansen, My wife and I would like to thank you for such a lovely evening. Chez Bacchus represents the “True Expression of a Dining Experience”. Starting with the welcoming staff at the entrance. John, your hospitality is the beginning of the joyful experience. The restaurant is so elegant. We enjoyed the vaulted ceilings with wood beams. We enjoyed the large window at the kitchen area so you can see the Chefs at work. We got to sit next to the impressive wine rack display. The restaurant’s ambiance wouldn’t be complete without the soft background music. Our waiter, Issac, was a delight. He provided us with his expertise in choosing our wines, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It was a pleasure to meet to give special thanks to the Chef, Danny Le and Su Chef, Donald. Their expertise is why we had an amazing and delicious dinner.“

“The fish bar is in a great location the bartender Rose makes amazing drinks she friendly & attentive. She knows you by name. The food was great atmosphere is relaxed all the staff treats you like family. Highly recommend!“

“Best Burgers Ever!! Great Bartenders too!“

“Always great service and great food“

“Major Shout out to management and our server. This crew was so accommodating, pleasent. And they did all of this during the Costa graduation where the entire downtown is booked. Menu is like a Mediterranean influenced american menu. The Affogato martini was the perfect appetizer. Some dishes have a little more heat than I like but still tasty. Great ambiance, comfortable high top chairs.“

“Excellent Fresh Organic Options“

“Flavors that never get old. Tasty on every bite!“

“Great place and a fun place to be“

“Great asian fusion food. Awesome for happy hour!!“

“What a great date spot or place to have a classy meal! Cant beat having a view of the ocean and also being propelled to a speakeasy vibe. The staff was extremely kind, and made us feel very welcome. My partner is celiac, and it was a treat to have so many yummy gluten free items on the menu. We had pork chops, wild boar risotto, chicken skewers and cauliflower/ corn- all gluten free! The general manager, Kieran, came over to check in with us, and told us he’s celiac so he makes sure there’s a lot of options on the menu. Definitely will be coming back!“

“Always wonderful! Never disappointed.“

“I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting the food to be this exceptional. And that is because sometimes chain establishments are not great. However, Camille suggested a couple of dishes for us and they did not disappoint and in fact I would’ve licked the plates if it was publicly appropriate. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy and short rib hash!!!!! Omg so delicious!! I can’t wait to come back for more!!!“
