“What a fun time!! It is a 21 and up place and we came on a Wednesday night when they do live music! So lively and fun!! Everyone was dancing and the performers were great, food was INCREDIBLE I got the cod tacos and I highly recommend!! Service was fast and friendly and you just walk in and get a table, no need to wait for a table or for a server, they come right to you wherever you sit“

“Decadence is the place to come for great cocktails and food. They have excellent service and provide amazing music on the weekends. I brought my friends to decadence and had a great time! Did I mention the amazing ambiance! Great for a night out in Hermosa beach! Highly recommend!“

“killer blues this saturday night w/ BLUE SHADOWS“

“Wonderful food and staff!!!“

“Love this spot! Bartender was great and atmosphere is upscale, classy and sophisticated-great when you wanna stay in Hermosa but get away from the Pier!“

“Wonderful food! I got the salmon with my salad and it was delicious! Get the June salad for lunch!“

“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️“

“Fantastic meal at Felix! You really can’t go wrong with an Evan Funke restaurant. The pasta was perfectly made, and the flavors were spot on. That said, I do wish the menu felt a little more distinct from his other restaurants. It’s definitely in line with his signature style, so if you’ve been to his other spots, you’ll find a lot of overlap.

The quality and service are definitely there—the staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere is cozy but lively, with a great energy for date night or a special dinner with friends. Overall, Felix is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Such a fabulous gem in the marina with a retro-plush- nautical dinning room, an outside patio tiki bar over looking the boats and a dim lit swanky bar inside with a fire place, great art and tasty tunes that throw you back to a generation you might have never lived, yet still feels nostalgic. Food is an innovative twist on the classics with cocktails that broaden your drinking horizons. Service is great and the hospitality is neighborly. Cool for a place for a sip and a bite, but will easily be your main event for the evening. Highly recommend exploring all the vibes they have to offer.“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“Good food in casual friendly local restaurant & nice bar hangout ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious food and drinks!“

“Everything great“

“Absolutely wonderful evening. The food was over the top atmosphere was amazing and service perfect. We were celebrating our 44th anniversary with our kids and grandkids... it was Perfect. I would highly recommend it you will not be disappointed“

“went here on a night out with friends! The drinks were really good and the vibe was great! The DJ was good too although people were shy to dance. Would definitely recommend! Only ding is I wish the bartenders were able to recommend drinks better.“

“This bar is awesome! We heard that it was the smallest bar in LA and expected to be greeted by regulars who resented our presence. We experienced the complete opposite. The bartender Pete immediately recognized my Midwest accent and engaged myself and my 2 adult children in conversation. The locals at the bar were also very engaging. Many reviews I have read described it as a dive. I completely disagree with that assessment. It is a local bar that is very welcoming to any patron. Keep in mind it is cash only! Looking forward to going back!“

“Beautiful little restaraunt by Manhattan Beach Pier. I’m there every year end of Aug.“

“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.“

“Calo K's ceviche is delicious.“

“Don't let the unassuming neon glow of the strip mall fool you. Once inside you'll be transported to a dive bar tiki paradise full of welcoming locals, cheap beer and limited distractions.
A throw back to simpler time when you were not overwhelmed with menu options or craft beer choices.
This is truly a slice of island paradise in an urban jungle“

“Our server Sean was amazing!“

“Always lovely and the food is great!“

“The work that these people do and the children's lives that they touch is awesome ❤️“

“I had booked the One Bedroom King Suite for 3 nights months ago in anticipation of attending a concert at Sofi. It was recommended to splurge and go for the King Suite. Glad I did. I was very pleased with the suite and the whole Hyatt House experience. Since parking seems to be an issue for many, we pulled into the garage behind the Hyatt and paid $26 for one night of parking. They also charge hourly. I am not sure how some people are paying $45 with the hotel. I didn't mention it when I checked in and just used the in and out access of the garage. Shuttle was great. We used it both arriving and departing. Breakfast was fine too. I have no complaints.“

“My favorite restaurant in South Bay LA. Grass-fed beef. Organic produce from farmer's markets. Fabulous wine list featuring small, organic & biodynamic producers. Plus a great value! Gotta love PSP Steak!“

“I took my daughter and we had a really nice dinner. We started with the Caesar - it's not a creamy Caesar dressing, more like a vinaigrette. It was tasty. My daughter ordered the vodka pasta with chicken and she loved it. Just a little bit is spice and great flavor. I ordered a pepperoni pizza. It's not paper thin but it's not thick either. The pepperoni on it was delicious. It was a bit noisy because there were lots of kids as it is sort of a neighborhood spot. As it got later in the evening the kids left and it was quieter for sure. overall great food and service. Will go back.“

“I performed a Blues concert there this week in their large music hall & library with bar which adjoins a very busy bar room playing old school
recorded R&B. It's a lively and fun place to hang. There's cocktails, beer, music and pool tables. A diverse friendly crowd. They let you Postmate or bring food. There's even an outdoor patio.“

“Enjoyed a first date here. The food was phenomenal! We had the fried oysters appetizer (explosion of flavor)! I had the 8oz filet mignon very flavourful melt in your mouth! The creamy street corn and the fingerling potatoes were fabulous! The food here was worth every penny spent!“

“I had the warmest experience at The Arthur J, from the hostess at the front door, the wait staff and the manager. I had recently lost my husband prior to my reservation and was determined to enjoy our anniversary dinner. Not only was a the food delicious, but the overall experience was beyond memorable. Thank you…. thank you. Can’t wait until I return for his birthday.“

“Best duck taco I've ever had. Came in for the Karaage but they were out, so decided to go with duck and it did not disappoint. I also met and talked to the owner, and he was incredibly generous and kind. I didn't eat there but the vibe was cool, would definitely dine in too.“

“My friend told me this is a great neighborhood spot so I strolled over an hour before sunset.... I wanted to relax after a high-stimuli day of work and looked forward to winding down from work mode... Unbeknownst to me... a group of 30+ people came for a film networking event (!) a few minutes after I walked in. I had to leave much earlier than I wanted to b/c the atmosphere was not what I wanted or expected (but I am glad this film networking group was so well-attended - none of them knew each other!).

I had the chicken skewers - they were tasty!

Matt and Miguel were wonderful. Very friendly and attentive.

There are very cozy and comfy velvet couches... I look forward to coming come back with friends and/or a date :)“

“Fun place to eat and drink by the Venice pier!“

“The service is amazing but the food is okay and the drinks are strong but basic.

Parking: Huge commercial and hotel parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Totally accessible“

“Great experience with a great staff and the owners are super welcoming! Had an amazing time!“

“I went last night for my BDay and I had such a great experience. The staff Amazing! Great Recommendations, The drinks and food good. The lobster roll needed a little seasoning but overall I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Hard to find parking and it’s not a big place(just the type of area). I’m going back for the New Orleans Oyster ALONE 😋!“

“Small bars usually offer a casual yet friendly and relaxing atmosphere.
• Staff Attitude: Most small bar staff are warm and welcoming. Unlike fine dining restaurants, they tend to be more engaging, often chatting with guests, recommending drinks, and even remembering regular customers’ preferences.
• Serving Speed: Since the main focus of a bar is alcoholic beverages, the food may take longer to be served compared to a regular restaurant. However, most bars offer quick-prep bar snacks to complement the drinks.
• Personalized Service: Some small bars provide customized cocktails based on customers’ tastes or offer hidden menu options to enhance the experience.“

“great venue. great customer service, excellent appetizers.“

“Indians right on the way to the pier with nice outdoor seating. Map clear, service friendly and attentive. It was a little cooler in the evening and we had our own heater at the table. Cocktails ? well mixed and round off an evening on site. The food was well seasoned and the size was appropriate for the price/performance ratio. We always find a place and there is always a place to sit for a longer time - check only when asked and not, as is often the case, directly at the table - so this is particularly pleasant for European guests... Parking at the pier is subject to a charge depending on time/day $5-20

Parking: 3min walk from the pier/parking lot. Fees apply. On public holidays it can be crowded in the evenings but never a problem during the week“

“We went to Huddy's to watch Monday Night Football. It wasn't crowded and we were quickly seated outside where they had a large TV showing the game.

They were running Happy Hour prices until close that night, so we ordered a few cocktails and some fries. The atmosphere was quiet but fun, and our server was very attentive.

We had a great time and if we ever return to Redondo Beach, we will definitely stop by again.“

“Very nice good location and parkig“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“I highly recommend the avocado butter for brunch! It is beyond delicious. We had women’s brunch event for church at their location and the service was impeccable. The food was great. Give this place a try. I will be coming back for dinner“

“My food and cocktail was genuinely some of the best I've ever had but the portions sizes for the price is very poor. I had the rendang mamuk with the nasi ayam rice. For $46 for the both (yes they are seperate, 42 for the meat, 4 for the rice), I felt the rice should've been included or have at least a bigger portion.“

“Great atmosphere and even better food and staff!“

“this place is amazing this is what going to the beach with your woman should be like hi end food beautiful Ocean view. I'm in love with this great place“

“Amazing staff, fantastic food, great atmosphere. 10 out of 10 for me!“
