Fine Dining Restaurants near Hermosa Beach, CA

“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.“

“I've never seen a menu that flowed so well from one dish to the next. You can tell that ingredients were used across multiple courses. It's very mushroom heavy, so I hope you like all fungi. Atmosphere is very spa-like. Simple designs, earth tones and low candle light. It's a bit on the pricey side compared to other experiences. We may have paid more for NYE and it looked like the same menu as a normal night. No Champagne. Didn't do the wine pairings, already spent over $1k in total for two with 3 glasses of wine. You do get caviar and truffle, and the other ingredients are top notch. Then the pigeon comes out. Squab is a young domesticated pigeon. Sure it's good, but it just didn't fit with the meal. You can get a full pressed duck at the other restaurant (Pasjoli) and I think this concept was carried over; using the the juices of the Squab in the next dish. Finally the transition to sweeter dishes was perfection. The Squab liver truffle with mushroom dust, the hazelnut cream and caviar, and the dish with crumbled black sesame I will remember forever. Service was perfection. You begin and end with tea. Our final refreshing mint tea was too sweet. Parking in the garage underneath the building was easy and costs $12.
