“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.“

“One of the best restaurants around. From the Yellow Tail Crudo to the Farmers Market Peas & Burrata di Puglia to the Salt Spring Mussels to the Duck Egg Pizza.

“Some of the best food ever!!“

“The food is absolutely brilliant, the parking is okay, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great“

“Beautiful little restaraunt by Manhattan Beach Pier. I’m there every year end of Aug.“

“Locals hangout. Locals often avoid the touristy trendy restaurants, buit love to meet and hang out at this super fun dive bar. Recommended by a local.

The food (burger, chips & beer) was good. A nice selection of beers on tap and by the bottle. Watch sports, play pool/billiards, hang out with friends, have a PTA meeting,etc.

As we were leaving, the local ladies, all meeting together Sunday night, were super friendly and waved hello/goodbye. Fun place.“

“Great restaurant with nice view and awesome vibe.

Located near Manhattan Beach Pier. It has indoor seating with large open windows to get that fresh ocean breeze. Service is warm and friendly.
Although it's a brewery and has multiple screens with different sports playing, they serve more than just pub food. Their menu offers lots of yummy options. Also note they have a good happy hour menu.

The grilled citrus salmon was excellent with just the right amount of crust. Not overcooked. It comes with salad and rice.

The spicy Chipotle chicken pasta was very flavorful. I really enjoyed it and world order it again next time.

The churro bites comes drizzled with caramel. It's warm and fluffy and it's gluten free. Definitely enjoyed it.

Prices are reasonable, portions are adequate.

Parking is a bit challenging in the area. If you can't find street meter parking, go to the underground structure or near city hall parking.

Reservations are recommended especially on weekends or if there's a sports event.“

“Flavors that never get old. Tasty on every bite!“

“Food was ok, but I just had bacon & eggs. Server was fast & pleasant. But the ambiance was the best part. They have outdoor & indoor seating with the indoor seating being a little more elegant like an old time pub. It wasn't too busy around 7:30 AM in a unusually warm Saturday at the end of February, but got busier as I was finishing & there was a line of people waiting by 10:30 or so. I went here because this was a very popular restaurant during the late 80s & 90s, open 24/7 like The Pantry, but with beach culture. That vibe seems to be there still & it's very popular with locals.“

“Simply Bellisimo. Perfection.“

“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.“

“Great food and service (Amanda did a great job), I love their double r 20 oz cowboy’s rib eye and I like the ambiance it is very cozy.“

“Beautiful place, front desk very accommodating wait time even reservation a little long, but it's worth it. The food was excellent. The only issue was our waiter taking too long and wouldn't check on the table so every time we needed something we had to look for him for a while, but altogether good experience. “

“It’s brand new and clean. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. It’s a very comfortable environment with electrical outlets and USB ports for your electronic devices. And the food! Best turkey burger I’ve had in the South Bay and those brussels sprouts are to die for. Go! Quickly! 😬❤️😬“

“The friendliest cafe in Manhattan Beach“

“Amazing view!! Delicious Polynesian Sea Bass. Visited LA for 4 nights and my best meal!!! Walkable area with beach and bike path. Will come back and stay in this area! Restaurant prices are not too high in comparison to other restaurants that aren’t as good.“

“They have the most authentic crepe I’ve had in the states!! The owner is a nice young French gentleman, and his staff are the sweetest!
I work near by and I’m there pretty much daily, bad for the calories but good for the heart haha❤️“

“A hidden gem! Very fresh and tasty“

“Got off the airplane and came straight here! Sushi was soooo good, costumer service was great 👍🏼 it was tight seating but we loved it felt like a scene in a movie where everyone around us was talking but we were just in our own little bubble 🍣“

“Eat here. Do it and thank me later. The owner/chef was so lovely - I called over about a food allergy and she texted me a follow up. That level of thoughtfulness is nearly unheard of in food service these days. As the other reviews state the food is phenomenal, served HOT, and is inventive, thoughtfully prepared, and comforting.“

“Great Indian food, and I love the weekly buffet. Sundays, it comes with champagne, if you ask for it. Wide variety of choices. Consistently tasty. Staff is friendly and attentive. Very clean, and comfortable.“

“Overall a nice stay: friendly staff, nice updated facilities, free ♿️ valet👌-3 to 4 blocks from beach. Very expensive at $500 per night, used the 2 $10 free tickets at bar for 2 drinks and still owed $8.36. This was the host hotel and stayed 2 nights Fri/Sat July 22-23, 2022, with hamburger & soup in room, total $1100. T.“

“Good prices, great food and fantastic staff.“

“Good is always good and staff is always courteous“

“There is nothing better than el Tarasco, rosecrans Manhattan beach. I come back to socal twice a year to visit family and we never go back without stopping here. The chicken (hard shell fried) taco is the best in the world... make sure to order a side of guacamole, their habenero salsa and cheese quesadilla. If u want to branch out carne asada tacos or the junior burrito deluxe.. ,ant go wrong. Sitting at bar stools 300 feet from the beach at a genuine taco stand that's out of this world checks all the boxes. Bring your appetite morning or late night.“

“Delicious food and amazing view“

“Highly recommended, this is a very good restaurant“

“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“

“We stopped by Mercado for dinner last night, and I had to share how excellent David T.’s service was. He made the experience truly enjoyable and stayed on top of everything we needed—very kind and accommodating.

The food and drinks were delicious. The mixologist is spot on, and the chef clearly knows how to deliver great flavor.

A great place to stop by for lunch or dinner.“

“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.“

“I have had trouble eating lately. This is the first time I have felt hunger in quite awhile. This microbowl and Lion’s Mane Smoothie is exactly what I needed ! Many thanks to the wonderful staff who are always friendly 🙏“

“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.“

“Nice place and people. Good food.“

“What a great place! We picked up family at LAX and wanted to grab a bite somewhere close to the beach. After watching the sunset we found Beach Pizza! Great crew here and the thin crust pizza was phenomenal! We had a large sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, and onion, with pepperoncinis. Great pizza, great atmosphere! So happy to have found this place. Great job, BP!! 🍕“

“Pretty good restaurant with authentic flavors. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the dishes are interesting, like the special lobster pad Thai and soft shell crab pad Thai. The lobster one seemed especially popular, so I might give it a try next time. There’s only 1 bathroom, so good luck during rush hour.“

“Great food and wine and amazing host!“

“Good old school hot plate Mexican food. Good crunchy tacos 🤗“

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

“Pizza made east coast style! First pizza I have had here that reminded me of the pizza I get from my favorites in NY, NJ and Philly. Thin crispy crust perfection and just the right amount of cheese. I am so glad we stopped here. I will be back.“

“One of the best breakfast options in Manhattan Beach, and one of my favorites in South Bay in general. It’s in between a traditional breakfast restaurant and a diner, and some things I love about it are it has friendly and quick service, a giant menu, and great food. Inside is pretty large so it can host many different sized groups, and has booth and table seating. Parking in the area can be a bit tricky, we found a metered street spot a block away, but you may have to circle a few times before finding a spot.

For this visit, I chose the Crab & Avocado Benedict because those are two of my two favorite things combined, so it was a no-brainer to order. The crab was very tasty and the hollandaise was made perfectly and overall it was a great dish. I also ordered a side of fruit and they really did not skimp on the fruit quality, they gave me banana, watermelon, grapes, and didn’t just throw the melon and cantaloupe at me.

Overall, a great breakfast option and I plan to be back many times in the future.“

“great food,service and prices“

“Ordered a giant takeout order for my coworkers - 27 items. The order was filled on time, was fresh and delicious, and similar but different items were labeled so as not to cause confusion. Great experience, and will continue to get food from there.“

“The psychedelic sando & og chicken sando were so awesome. Medium sauce had a kick but went well with the sandos. Fries were great! I highly recommend!!“

“Very good italian food. The Osso Buco was really fantastic“

“We were a party of 6 and a large booth lent room for all of us. Wait staff brought beverages, menus and stated the specials.

After placing our orders, from kitchen to table was a very reasonable time of 5 to 10 minutes.

Food was served in large ceramic baskets lined with food service paper. The paper in the baskets gave it an old fashioned kind of vibe.

The basket of fries was hot, crispy and perfectly seasoned.

I ordered the Hula Burger that was topped with two generous pineapple rings and teriyaki sauce that made the burger pop!

A pal ordered a Cobb Salad with bacon bits on the side and Balsamic vinegar dressing, hold the Blue Cheese please.

Another guest ordered the grilled cheese, toasted and real cheddar cheese! It came with a side of fries.

Ample room for customers but not great for larger parties. I only noticed booths that can handle 6 guests comfortably. Large screen TV’s to catch the game!

There is a full service bar that carries a selection of Domestic and Imported beers both in bottles and on tap. There was also an array of spirits including wine and mixed drinks.

This location is in the Manhattan Beach Mall on the outside of the mall with access to the mall through a side entrance. Good for walking off all those delicious calories!

Wait staff were friendly and attentive!“

“Outstanding food and service! The overall vibe is great!“

“Great food, reasonably priced drinks and great servers!“

“The Mother's Day brunch was amazing! Lupe and the entire team provided excellent service which made the day extra special for my wife and for all of the Moms dining at the restaurant. It was our first time eating here and we will definitely be back.“
