Love & Salt

We had the best experience. 3 hours, lots of delicious food and drinks and Steve our server was attentive and wonderful!

Love and salt has been a go to choice for a special evening for years, our latest meal there felt overpriced and underwhelming. Sad that it seems like they are resting on their laurels. The chicken was still exceptional!

amazing! we traveled from Orange County, and were not disappointed! It was a great experience from getting there, being walked through the menu, checked on constantly by multiple workers, and enjoying the explosive flavors of Italian inspired food.

Everything we ordered was delicious, burrata, pizzas, and especially the roasted chicken. Drinks were also tasty and service was absolutely wonderful!

We loved everything but the noise. Could they have intended the acoustics to be so awful, or was it an accident of materials, design and budget? Yikes.

The cocktails were incredible. Food was great, nice place for a date

The food was decent. I have had better pasta and pizza else. The main issue is we found a piece of plastic about 2.5 inches long in our pasta. The waiter did bring us a fresh plate but it made us cautious to eat anything else at the restaurant. We were not discounted or compensated for the issue that occurred.

One of our favorite spots in Manhattan Beach! Pasta and pizza are always delicious, the cocktails are amazing, and the service is fantastic. We love that you don’t always need a reservation, so it’s easy to stop by anytime. Perfect for a relaxed date night!

Best dining experience at Love & Salt. Julian and staff are incredible. I'll keep coming back whenever I'm in town.

I went back to Love and Salt as I was doing some research online to find a good pork chop in the South Bay. This has proved nearly impossible.   Manhattan Beach Post used to serve an amazing one, but of course they took it off their menu. Love and Salt was listed as having a good one.  We started off with a Kale Cesar and it did have good flavor, but the leaves were tough and a lot of stems and it was not chopped so you had to spend quite a bit of time chopping it up yourself. I never really understand why anybody would do a kale salad that's not chopped?  The Parmesan crisp on top though was quite good. The pork chop was a bit on the dry side and difficult to cut. It came with spinach and Yukon gold potatoes fried in duck fat. The potatoes were the highlight of the meal.  Lastly, we got the dessert with a peanut butter cookie and chocolate ice cream on top and I would say that was just OK. 

Good food. Great service. Ambiance is nice. This is my 2nd time going here and it's ok but nothing memorable to revisit.
