50 Best Wine Bars near Playa Del Rey

“food and drinks were so good!“

“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“Although I was a little put off by the paper plate table settings… this was by far the most delicious food I’ve had… a wildly unexpected treat! Simple yet brilliant flavors using incredible olive oil… it’s my new favorite place! Highly recommended…“

“Since Or Bar opened in the old Gold Coast space, it has become my favorite local place. Good drinks, great people. I love all of the staff here!“

“Warm, hands on and personalized service. A Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant…Food Made from Scratch, fresh, unique, different, and affordable. Highly recommended! The red onion focaccia bread with herb and Parmesan butter, added Burrata - best- seller, a must. The 3 day brined smoked fried chicken-different taste, with soy and Chiles, a must!!!The Peruvian pork belly with sweet potato , Criolla and crispy quinoa , love it! And the Grilled NY steak with green garlic chimichurri, chorizo aioli and pommes pont neuf, thick cut fries…my son prefers over the fried chicken.“

“Came for wine and snacks before a bigger dinner, but I’d love to come back for a full meal because what we had was so good. Highly recommend the Caesar tartare (perfect crunch to the bread, plus it is pre-cut into bite size chunks) and lobster rilette.

Cute vibe inside with center bar and cozy dining room seating.“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“Great night for Luke’s 50th Birthday!!“

“We went on a Wednesday night and every table was full, which should tell you something. Very good service from the host. We did the 4-course pre fixe menu. First course was an outstanding beet salad - one of my faves ever - and a rice noodle dish that was just slightly under-seasoned. Second course was possibly the star, the street corn. The steak was also an absolute star, done perfectly at medium rare. The vodka lumache was, like the rice pasta dish, a bit under-seasoned. Oreo beignets were great, and the chocolate budino was very good, very rich. We'll definitely be back.“

“As soon as it gets. The Wood grilled vegetables are beyond amazing. We went vegetable forward in our ordering, but the softshell crab and the bone marrow were amazing additions as well!  in the service couldn't have been better. The perfect evening!!!“

“Thank goodness for Offhand! A much-needed natural wine bar for the west side. While there are always people here, you can always find a spot to sit no problem. They do a great job of rotating and featuring natural wine, most of which are from California/the west coast — through them, I learned that my hometown has a natural winemaker I’d never known about! Definitely order the grilled cheese, it’s simple yet delicious.

( Also since I always check reviews for happy hour info — theirs is from 5-7 Monday through Saturday :) )“

“Vegan or not, I can’t imagine why anyone would not love this place.❤️“

“We enjoyed everything about our meal from start to finish.“

“The Goods: Quaint little spot in the popular part of thr city has a unique night life feel to it. The atmosphere is sexy, the food is delicious and the service is with a smile. I like the wide array of wines they sale and the food helps bring the flavor to the table. I want to give this place more stars but theres nothing that was overly amazing that did thr trick.

The Ugly: Food portions are small for the prices they give you. $32 for Prawns and you don't get any pasta, rice or anything just 4 prawns dipped in pesto. The wait staff was great but the space is small so yiu have conversations and ppl on top of you when you eat. They could benefit from some house music or something.“

“One of my favorite date night places with my boyfriend. A good mix of fancy and casual imo. We always try different drinks but our go-to food are Chilli Bear, Home-made Hummus Duo, & Figgin' Burrata.

Everyone here is nice and haven't experienced anything negative. I always look forward to coming back🥰“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“Absolutely fantastic. The best farm-to-table concept I've ever experienced. Extremely clean flavors: the quality of the ingredients shine through in every dish.

The Pastry chef is a standout: the truffle snd lemom pot de creme were the best i have ever had. Definitely get dessert.“

“Me encanta el piano 🎹 es lo máximo.“

“The chicken and potatoes are the best!“

“The wine and food. Great service and very friendly“

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!“

“We had such a blast tonight at the show! We had great laughs and the show was perfect and full of magic! Fun for all ages! Totally recommend catching a show and a drink! Love love love!!!“

“Amazing food and great place to people watch while looking at the boats in the harbor.“

“Great food and wine and amazing host!“

“First time here, great little wine bar located in Redondo Beach. Walked in on a Saturday night and sat down on the comfortable sofas they had near the enterance.

Nice array of wines, the server was friendly and helpful and we took her recommendations. Ordered a bottle of wine to share instead of by the glass since we had a lot of time for convo, small corkage fee applied but was worth it.

Place was quiet when we arrived but soon got crowded so the noise level went up but wasnt a problem.... Fyi. Most of the customers were regulars and I could see why this is a great spot to be on the weekends👍

Ordered a small charcuterie board also that was more than adequate, a great place to unwind and relax after a long day🤙Highly recommend... 5 stars.“

“Our server Sean was amazing!“

“Three friends and I spent a few lovely hours here this evening. The cheese and salami charcuterie board was especially good. Chill vibe on the patio. Efficient, friendly, knowledgeable service in a nice setting. We'll be back.

It was pretty quiet. They're fairly new and could use more customers. So... go here and help out a unique local business!

Three wines each plus two food boards was $65/person.“

“Lovely and quaint little spot. The wine selection is excellent. Service was fantastic. Will definitely be returning.“

“Highlights: vodka chicken cutlet (very good); dry red wine was very good (forget which one; happy hour price very solid)

Wouldn't get again: Pepperoni pizza (nothing special); focaccia (decent but came out lukewarm / cools off very quickly); cheesecake (too expensive for the size; wish it was served colder)

Too loud at night, kinda have to yell to talk.

Really cool vibe; love that they're playing actual vinyl records.

Really cool Faema E61 espresso machine (didn't try any drinks from it tho).

Service is very good.“

“The food and ambience & wine selection was excellent! We will be back!“

“Alisa wine & friends is all about an atmosphere you fall in love with from the very first moment.
Incredibly cozy, beautifully designed space, attentive service, and truly delicious Greek cuisine.
A place you’ll definitely want to come back to again and again.“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“Super cool 😎 Great place for drinks with friends, cool vibe and crowd“

“Best restaurant I've been to ever that understands and caters to Celiac, but is so good you can actually bring people who are not gluten-free and they would never know they were eating gluten-free. I was in LA for a week and ate there 3 nights. I would have gone more but they're closed on Monday and Tuesdays. The fried zucchini squash blossoms should definitely be ordered and enjoyed❣️ DPK from Plymouth, MA“

“Ricardo was very attentive and knowledgeable about everything he brought out and even recommended some delicious teas to try out. Surprisingly, we were the only ones there for Hi-Tea, so if you're looking for a quiet, romantic spot to feel fancy, this is the place.“

“Great food as usual and every time we come we have an excellent service. Love coming here!!!!“

“Amazing staff, fantastic food, great atmosphere. 10 out of 10 for me!“

“Juliet restaurant is truly wonderful. The French-inspired dishes are beautifully presented, flavorful, and made with fresh ingredients. It feels like you're dining in the heart of Paris.

The staff are attentive and the space is elegant and modern. We look forward to returning.“

“A perfect stay!! Celebrating my husband’s 60th! From the time we arrived, the service and attention to detail was impeccable! The entire staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure my husband was enjoying his birthday celebration. It was our first stay at the Maybourne. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our stay so special.“

“We randomly ended up to this restaurant: small, but pleasant, the type of place where you can talk with your friends. Party of three, we had the fish carpaccio, the octopus, and the burger (gourmet burger!). Everything was prepared to perfection. They will definitely see us again.“

“My wife and I had a last minute great dinner at Coucou. We coincidentally happened to dine on Martini Monday, which was truly a great deal including their fantastic Burger Americaine and a top-notch dirty martini. We also shared the steak frites (prepared perfectly with tasty fries) and would never miss the soft serve sundae! It's great to have such a wonderful and comfortable french-style bistro in the neighborhood, and we'll be thrilled to return soon! Thank you very much for the fun, spontaneous evening!“

“The spot has a cool clean classy vibe but it's accessible - you can definitely dress up here , which I didn't as I was in jeans and t shirt which was totally acceptable it just felt like I couldn't tried harder for the ambiance M has created.

Food was top notch , meats were incredible and never stop coming till you're about to float outta there and we didn't feel like booze that night so we went for the non alcoholic drinks which Miranda behind the bar knocked out of the park - SO GOOD!!

Definitely recommend and with the set up it looks perfect for large groups 6 or more“

“An extremely lively and trendy lounge-type of restaurant on the Venice/Santa Monica border very close to the water. It is actually a block away from the beach. At night they move the tables and the DJ booth turns on and it turns into a mini nightclub and most of the patrons we saw were they to pick up champagne to share and drink on site, the food here seemed an afterthought. The crowd here is very young, most people are in their 20s. You’ll probably be one of the older ones if you are in your mid 30s like myself. It’s also very loud and it’s more a place to go with friends or a date, it’s not really a foodie destination, it’s more of a lively place to spend the evening. Parking is honestly really hard in this area so we took a Waymo because we live a mile away. Aside from that you’ll most likely need to pay for parking. Our waitress was very polite, but our food items arrived pretty slowly.

I started off with the Chicory Salad. I thought it was pretty nice, it was really nice and light start, a perfect salad for spring. For my entree I chose the Burger with a side of Broccolini because I had heard a lot about it. It was very good but not one of the best burgers I’ve had in this part of town. I would say this is a great spot to bring a date, but it’s not really somewhere that is food focused, more a place to drink and order some items if you’re hungry.“

“This is my absolute favorite restaurant ...and I eat out 3-5 nights a week. I can always count on All Roads to be 100% perfect! The food is BEYOND delicious and I have had almost every single item on the menu. Never once was I dissappointed. A MUST try is the BIANCA PINSA as well as the Faro and Romini salads....Dessert brownie is spectacular too. Everyone I've brought here has fallen in love. The service is timely, professional and friendly. The manager Alexandra is the hardest working restaurant I've ever encountered! You will be thrilled with this restaurant...I was there last night and am bring another new friend this Friday night!😋💗“

“The foods are amazing … i had the salmon creamy pasta and i liked it so much, the salmon with cherry tomatoes are very refreshing , porcini and mushroom are the new favorites , but the black truffle was the most unforgettable one , once you taste it, it seems you are watching a classic italian movie. The employees are friendly and very accomodating. The atmosphere itself makes you feel like home.“

“Delicious food and friendly atmosphere.We had a great time.Thank you.🙏🤗😇😋“

“Osteria Mozza definitely stands out in a city full of incredible Italian restaurants.

The ambiance is one of its biggest strengths. Lively enough for a fun group dinner, yet still intimate enough for a date night. It strikes that balance effortlessly, making the whole experience feel special without being overly formal.

Food-wise, there were some real highlights. The salad was fresh and well-executed, and both the short rib ravioli and butter pasta were absolutely amazing, rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The crispy duck was another standout, perfectly cooked with great texture.

The only slight miss was the prosciutto, which felt a bit underwhelming compared to everything else. But honestly, the stronger dishes more than made up for it.

Overall, this is a place I’d definitely come back to. In a city packed with great Italian spots, Osteria Mozza manages to hold its own and then some.“

“First, my wife loved it. I thought it was ok. The kitchen was stretched. The waitress really didn't explain the menu. This was Americanized tapas. Too much food, no space between tables making it too crammed and no privacy. This was Valentines after all. And there's the nut, what is it like on a normal night? I haven't decided whether to find out.“
