What a great find! Excellent food in a casual setting. Menu is not huge but they did everything perfect. Linguine with clams was delicious. Chopped salad was perfect. Foccia bread was heavenly. Had a glass of sparkling wine that arrived nice and cold!❤️. The tiramisu was delicious. We are new to the area and can't wait to try another Slay restaurant!

Wonderful service and atmosphere. Celebrated my mom’s birthday here and they take hospitality so seriously! It’s very good to see. The manager was truly amazing, he was so accommodating and caring that we genuinely had a wonderful night here. Thank you! Forgot to take pictures of other dishes we got, but it was great!

We ordered the Slay take away dinner tonight for the first time. It was the Fried Chicken Dinner. Outstanding. We enjoyed all of it. Moist, flavorful chicken, homemade salad dressing, creamy mashed potatoes, corn and even brownies. Food was warm when I got home in Rancho Palos Verdes. Will definitely order again a meal that will travel well. Thank you.

Food is below average, but the view and service is great. We have been very pleased with Samanta's menu suggestions and liked her personality.

Located in a perfectly nice area, close to the beach, and cozy environment, this place was a good try.
Service was absolutely great. Savannah was our server and she was very attentive and helpful. We were there much earlier around 4 pm and the place was not busy, but based on our experience and what we saw they are very welcoming.
Everyone on our table enjoyed their order. However my plate wasn't great. I ordered vongole. It was absolutely dry and noodles were hard and Chewy. There were many small broken shells in my plate. I was really hungry so I ate everything but it was a very expensive badly made plate. It was probably the worst Vongole I've ever had.
We also got garlic bread with cheese. Bread was over toasted and hard. It was also disappointing.
My friends had lasagna and spicy pink rigatoni which were good.
I have a dairy sensitivity so I have limited options in Italian places. With my experience, this is not a place for me. Nonetheless it was a nice try and we had a good time.
Parking could be really difficult during peak hours.

Equal parts fantastic food and fantastic service. Will did a lovely job explaining the menu and specials, and we truly enjoyed every plate. The fig and prosciutto pizza was delicious, and the gluten free menu accommodations were equally tasty. I look forward to returning and trying more of the menu. The general manager was charming and it’s obvious that chef really enjoys creating works of art on every plate.

We went for dinner and there were only 2 other groups there, but we were all stacked on top of eachother.
The sparkling water was $10, and a diet coke was 6. We asked if there was any Mocktails, and they said no.
I got the chicken picatta, and it was ok. It was tough to cut with the butter knife provided, and came with a side of marinara penne. It felt like a child's side. It should have just come with angel hair or some other pasta to match the picatta sauce.
Overall, the food was ok, not spectacular. Definitely was not a 140 dollar dinner for 2.

Service and ambiance were great!. Food mixed. Roasted salmon and squash blossoms were FANTASTIC! Penne primavera not as good as our last visit. Same with garlic bread which was not as crisp. Will return though.

Service from the beginning was solid. Our first waiter recommended the squash appetizer and it was so good. The focaccia bread was fresh and delicious. My ahi tuna was very good. Jonah out waitress was nice, informed and attentive.

We ate Italian here in a Söay restaurant. Here you can get pizza, pasta, antipasti and salad.
