Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

“What a fantastic dining experience! We were so well taken care of, and the food was amazeballs! Definitely top of my list as my new favorite seafood restaurant. Elijah, the bartender was awesome and Katie went out of the way to make sure we had a lovely time. What an evening… I highly recommend this place.”

“Love and Salt is a great restaurant if you are looking for loud and energetic! It is not romantic or for a large family. It is very overpriced to me. Great chop salad, Great pizza's and Pasta. The drinks are way over priced 24.00! My son and I eat out a lot and like boogie restaurants but for 2 people and it was way over 200.00! But for a one time experience it is worth it.”

“My first time to dine here. Enjoyed the food n I got just enough for me to eat.Food was really good.”

“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!”

“Merry Christmas! My cousin and I went last night for cocktails and possible snacks. We ended up ordering guacamole that came with plantain chips and tortilla chips, so good! Then we convinced ourselves we had to try one of the different ceviches they offer. Our server suggested a sampler of three different ceviche, each one was so unique and De-Licious! All servers and hosts were so kind and accommodating. I think his name was Jacoby, was such a delightful person and joked with us the whole time.

Parking: We had free parking because it was christmas day.

Kid-friendliness: They welcomed families, even late at night.”

“We made a reservation for dinner at sunset and it did not disappoint. But let's talk food....absolutely amazing. The filet was melt in your mouth delicious. The hands cut fries were awesome as was the pizza. Service was great. Would definitely go there again when in the area. If this isn't on your list of places to try then your are definitely missing out!”

“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!”

“Food was excellent and so was the service. Menu is creative with lots of choices of dishes to share. We enjoyed the biscuits and the fries and the pretzel. Pastas were also excellent as was the grilled skirt steak. Our server made some helpful suggestions too.”

“Some of the best food ever!!”

“North End Cafe is hands down my favorite breakfast and coffee spot in Manhattan Beach! This place has it all—from its prime location to the specialty coffees, incredible food, warm service, and chill vibe. Every time I come here, I leave happier.

Nacho, the best server on the planet, is a huge reason I love this place so much. He goes above and beyond with his friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring service. His positive attitude brightens your morning and really sets the tone for the day. If only the world had more people like him!

Must-try items? The Medici coffee is unique around here and so worth it (recommend asking it to be slightly less sweet), and the breakfast potatoes are an absolute dream. Love, love, love this gem of a cafe!”

“I think they serve the best hamburger I’ve ever had in my life! I drive down from LA once a month because I crave it so much.”

“The burger and the service are excellent. The burger is a stand out given the current climate where everyone only serves smash burgers. This is a high quality, butcher, thick burger. It’s a neighborhood spot where you can enjoy the game and the burger.”

“The energy here is impeccable. Best coffee shop in the South Bay. It starts with the people Sebastian, Karmani & Karen Thanks for enhancing my day and experience . Peace & ”

“Amazing! Dinner atmosphere was great (even on a Sunday night) and steak frites and ahi tuna steak was presented and prepared in a thoughtful way. I loved the portion was not huge! Thank you for a wonderful night!”

“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.”

“This Café is amazing! Their latte is perfectly brewed, and the croissant with eggs is flaky and comes with two sauces. I’ve been coming here for a while and every visit the food and drinks were delicious.”

“Good is always good and staff is always courteous”

“Visited Mercado for the first time yesterday after working in this neighborhood for the last five years and I’m amazed as to why I didn’t find this little job sooner. I went there with three coworkers for dinner at 5 o’clock. It was a little early, but the restaurant was about 25% full already. It’s a great ambience both indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. They have a happy hour menu. We chose their Carnitas nachos which although small it is packed with Carnitas and full of flavor for main dish I chose their Carnitas big plate which was amazing and it came separately with tortillas. My coworkers picked tacos from their happy hour menu one picked their fish tacos, which he gave a five star rating and two of my coworkers picked their shrimp tacos, which they also gave five star rating and they said it was very flavorful for dessert. We had the churros that came with condensed milk and chocolate syrup, and it was well presented and really delicious And the server also served us complementary Agua Fresca and the flavor of the day was cantaloupe, which was really really delicious will be there again and our server was very pleasant and fast.

Parking: There are also EV chargers”

“I checked in the Shade Hotel Manhattan Beach at night. I ate alone at Zinc in the hotel 1F for dinner. The man at the bar was very pleasant service. I couldn't drink, so I ordered a slice of lemon in the hot water. And I ordered Crispy Skin Norweigan Salmon. There was a risotto under the crispy grilled salmon w skin, which was a little thick, but the taste was mild and easy to eat. This dish was well served with the hot lemon water I ordered. I liked the place where I could relax alone. I'm thinking about what to eat next time.”

“This may be the best pizza I've ever had. I've been to New York, Chicago and Italy and this is the best tasting pizza dough and fresh ingredients. The sausage was spectacular. You can tell that these people care about making good pizza. Nice undercarriage, no flop... Just right..”

“Fun spot for a quick breakfast lunch or dinner. I went for a breakfast burrito on a Sunday before NFL games. Go to the walk up window and choose what you like. Good people”

“A joy to be at Rice, the staff so attentive, a celebration of small plates filling our table for three. A perfect sunny evening shared.”

“They have an awesome variety of rare flavors and all the ones we had were very good. There is most likely gonna be a line but it moves quickly.

Vegetarian options: They have vegan flavors too”

“The most beautiful (and delicious) cake I have ever experienced. Thank you so much for sharing your art & talent for baking the best organic deserts in the world. Really exceptional!”

“We stumbled upon Black Flour yesterday and were completely bowled over. My companion had the bœuf bourguignon taco and raved about it. I had the avocado and manchego taco and it was equally good. This is not just another food truck. It is an adventure in high quality food. Look for them!”

“The coffee, the environment, the baristas, the location. Offset is my favorite coffee shop. I have noticed they pick up on regulars' names and orders. The baristas are ALL good at what they do so I can always expect a Vanilla Latte to perfection. Their pastries are so delicious, super dog friendly. Their overall aesthetic is clean and modern. Parking is super easy at the El Segundo location. I highly recommend Offset to anyone near LAX or in the El Segundo area. I wish they'd migrate towards me in West Hollywood, lucky for me I work right next to it.”

“I got a coffee to take away from Pure Bean. I ordered the Lavender Honey Latte with oat milk and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was so friendly and answered my questions to help me choose the perfect drink. There were a lot of people inside the coffee shop and it would be a great place to bring my laptop and work from. It's quite bright inside with a lot of natural light and plants. Highly recommend checking out Pure Bean if you're in the area.

Dietary restrictions: Offer plant based milk”

“They have the best sushi in Southern California. Spicy with crispy rice the crab ham roll the creamy popcorn shrimp with spicy tuna and BBQ short ribs, I haven’t tried everything, but I have tried is amazing.. I recommend this place to everyone if you like sushi you’ll love this place.

Parking: They have metered parking in a parking structure, as well as on the street. There’s at least two parking structures in the area. I have never had a problem finding parking.”

“While I have never had a negative experience with any Starbucks, this store, #66657 is AMAZING! Love the staff here! Always so welcoming, happy, friendly and professional! So worth the extra 15 minutes out of my way to work for the experience here! Keep up the great work!”

“I went here for something to eat and I have eaten here many time over the decades. Very typical Taco Bell. The food was exactly as I ordered and served quickly in the drive thru window.”

“Part of a chain, the Manhattan Beach Silverlake Ramen serves up a solid meal of Ramen (also saves me from driving to Sawtelle Blvd to eat). The Ramen is well prepared, properly spiced/flavored, and served at a proper temperature. This is the go to dish when you come here. I get the Blaze with pork because I want the extra spice level and it warms me up in the winter.
The rice bowl and the appetizers are all tasty and well prepared with good sized portions.
Service is good and they will attend to your needs but the wait staff is in between a lot of tables so it can get slightly spotty during service rushes. They will drop water carafes on the table so you do not need to ask for refills. There is a Silverlake Rewards app that is great to use to get free items if you consistently dine here, so I suggest downloading it. The points update quickly after you pay for a meal.
The environment is inside but the end of the restaurant is open to the outside of the Manhattan Village outside mall area. There are plenty of heat lamps if you are near the outside so you will stay warm. The bathrooms are clean and well serviced.
Definitely will return to dine here.”

“Was in the neighborhood and decided to stop for dinner my husband and I both had the double chicken tostada salad. The food was very good and fresh. The workers were all very nice and helpful. The place was nice and clean even the restroom was very clean.”

“frosty Coke period (fill in cus 25 is dumb)”

“Delicious pastries (the Crème Brûlée and Lemon tart are my current favorites). Each time I try a new one, it becomes my favorite! They are certainly among the best bakers in the country outside of France. They really are! To boot, the proprietors are extremely friendly and efficient. Easy 5*****! Oct. 25: This bakery is still, BY FAR the best! Everything is delicious!!! Thanksgiving Nov 25 The Apple Tart cake is absolutely delightful!!”

“Cafe Wild was a great find! Delicious food, generous portions and a fun and relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely be back!”

“The Manhattan Beach location is the one that always brings it! Everything is very tasty and the staff is wonderful. If I'm eating in, I'll go for one of the "platos”: carnitas or carne asada. For takeout , the burritos can't be beat: "wet" or "dry”.”

“I eat here once a week. I love the food. It’s very clean and fresh, and always consistent. My favorite is the spring roll wrap with rice paper, but everything is really good. The service team is also great. Highly recommend!”

“I like the staff .. atmosphere...the cute cookies & designs but I enjoy EATING the cakes & cookies. cupcakes are teasers. to small. Everything g is REALLY FRESH”

“Just tried this ice cream shop for the first time. Very good. They have huge selection of flavors that they say are made fresh daily. Ice cream tasted sooo yummy. It’s a must try! Staff was also very friendly and helpful”

“The premade creamwiches are so good in so many different good flavors. And a decent value.

I really like that they added the mini creamwiches

I don't recommend the custom creamwiches...they seem appealing, and they taste good, but they melt super fast. I wish they gave you a metal spoon to eat them with because the plastic one is too weak.

But stick with the premade ones and you'll be satisfied!”

“So much better than Starbucks. Wish we had a Peet’s in Parker Arizona.”

“It’s not fancy, it’s just good food served up fast and hot! Big menu with lots of options. We did a very casual Father’s Day brunch here. Be mindful that parking can be sticky so not there is a lot a block or two, to the North. Also, it can get busy on weekend mornings!
”

“Johnny Rockets in Manhattan Beach has great burgers and friendly staff in a 1950’s burger joint setting. I usually get the delicious Route 66 mushroom burger and my wife gets the Original. The onion rings are the best I’ve eaten anywhere!”

“I was looking for a new Mexican restaurant and think I have found one with El Sombrero! I ordered take out, however, the restaurant is spacious but cozy and next time I’ll be sitting down to eat!
I ordered the Viking Burrito (which I thought was a weird name for a burrito), and it might have been one of the tastiest burritos I’ve had in the South Bay! Every flavor was pronounced, the citrus in the carnitas, the beans, the rice and the AMAZING green sauce to make it wet! Absolutely loved this burrito! Homemade chips and their salsa has a unique flavor and is delicious! On top of that, the front counter person was SUPER nice.”

“Robeks Hawthorne 5348 Rosecrans Ave., CA 90250. 11/06/2022 The server Marcus J. Was very polite and friendly, he put my order in promptly and the drink was made right. I really like the Hummingbirds. He's an asset to this Co.”

Here, as well as a beautiful location, the dishes were excellent, the staff was friendly and helpful.”

“Very nice place to bring a date or family. Prices reflect the elegance, service is alright. Waiter was cool but the guy cleaning up the table is rough around the edges and needs to work on his manners. My portion was a little small, seared scallops & prawns (forgot the Italian name), seafood was a little salty. Overall a nice place if you want to impress someone bring them here.”

“Fresh and great sushi! In combination with the nice cocktails a great experience.”

“Ana was amazing! Great smile , great personality in the few minutes I was here to have a smash burger. Rich was so helpful and cute too ( don't tell him I said that) shotout to Charlie the cook! He made me a delicious burger!!”

“It's a nice place. The food is good. Not the best. But their service is amazing and the ambiance is cool. It feels like you're in a Spanish hacienda”

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.”

“Best food and mimosas I have ever had!”

“Delicious tacos and friendly staff”
