“Called in for an early dinner and struck the 5pm Happy Hour. Lovely spot sitting outside sheltered from the sun but enjoying a light breeze.
Hibiscus margarita recommended by my waitress was very nice. Tacos and nachos were delicious although the nachos alone are probably enough for a meal. Regardless I ate both, and enjoyed them immensely. With the standard tax plus tip, even at Happy Hour prices, I wouldn’t call it cheap, but I would say the quality of the food makes it good value.
Recommended 👍“

JUTE Coastal Bar and Kitchen American • $$
1400 Parkview Avenue, Manhattan Beach

“Beautiful views of the golf course , with a lovely interior plus enjoyable food makes this a great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

While staying at Westdrift, I really enjoyed my experiences at Jute.

Service was friendly and attentive.

Food hit the spot:

Turkey Club: was a large toasted cheesy sandwich. And overall had nice ingredients inside of it. Plenty of fries came with the order.

Jute Burger: a large half pounder. For five dollars extra, I ordered bacon and it came with five slices of crispy pork. The ingredients inside were fresh and filling.

Korean BBQ Tacos - generously filled with meat and toppings. Serrano peppers on side made it absolute delicious.

Salmon Crudo - fresh light fish, popping with flavor. Good starter with a nice contrast of crispy chips.

Overall, a good to great hotel restaurant. With so many great restaurants in the area to choose from, Jute should not be overlooked.“
