“Fun Saturday brunch in Santa Monica. The endless mimosas are the bomb and the food was delicious and nicely presented. The Lobster Benedict was amazing and then I finished it off with the French Toast served with bourbon whipped cream, candied pecans and crumbled bacon. Enjoyable time in a rustic environment. Vote for “Pedro” our amazing waiter who kept our glasses full.“

“Beautiful day to sit outside“

“Always a pleasure. Food is yummy, the drinks are tasty, and the service is consistently excellent. Kate, the owner, is gracious to everyone there.Have been there for many reasons -- casual hang out, business meetings, watching sports, Taco Tuesday, jazz brunch, big family events -- and it's always great. The patio and inside both are both awesome while providing different vibes depending on your mood. Thrilled to have Huddy's (formerly Hudson House) as part of the Redondo Beach community.“

“I was invited to join a friend tonight for dinner and it was absolutely amazing 😍 The atmosphere is calm and enjoyable, it's beautiful inside. Just a downright great dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“The ambiance, food and drinks were great. The waitress was a little snooty and clueless toward the end. Was there hosting a 50th birthday and I asked at the onset for dessert to light a candle ... also mentioned in the reservation. After waiting for excess of 15 minutes at the end and no dessert menu or any follow up we closed the tab. She otherwise did fine.“

“Daniel was amazing, great service Everytime I come. He is one of the main reasons why I come. He knows my order and remembers me. Quick service and always attentive. Love that I get to watch the dodger games here. Will come back again and again.“

“Father’s Office in Santa Monica feels like a masterclass from someone who’s seen the world, cut the fluff, and come home to serve only what matters.

You walk in and the room has that quiet confidence of a place built by people who believe in standards, not suggestions. The Office Burger lands like a sermon dry aged beef, blue cheese, sweet onions, arugula all working together with the kind of bold harmony that makes you wonder why anyone ever asked for ketchup in the first place.

The staff moves with the precision of people who care, not because it’s cute but because details are the difference between forgettable and unforgettable. There’s humor in the attitude too a kind of “we’re protecting you from your own bad taste” wink that somehow makes you trust them more. It’s smart, it’s flavorful, it’s unapologetically itself, and walking out you feel like you just tasted something honest in a world that keeps trying to sell you shortcuts.“

“staff is AWESOME, food is delicious. very clean amd comfortable. and of course Top 5 Answers Sundays at pm is a blast“

“I tried their "The Ivar" burger. The Lamb Merguez Patty and the combination of flavors, including cucumber and mint labneh, were delicious. It was my first time trying a lamb burger, and it exceeded my expectations. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the experience.“

“I keep going back to this place, and usually try something new. Every single dish is delicious. This place is owned and run by people who love to eat fresh, nutritious, delicious food. And it shows. 100% recommend“

“Great environment and food…“

“Muy buena comida y excelente atención,“

“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.“

“Great food and a cool place“

“Shawn made our dinner so special! He took great care of us, and allowed us to sip, graze, and languish for a really special friendship dining date for my birthday. The food was amazing! Cocktails were on point. Service was supreme! Thanks Shawn, H&P“

“I loved it. Everything is clean and the staff very friendly. And fist time going they help u order .“

“Stopped in after an errand on an early weekday evening. Forgotten how much I enjoy being there. Above all, a wonderful, welcoming staff. Sat in the bar area at a table, the gentleman bartender is just so outgoing & friendly, wait staff is great too. A nice happy hour menu, but ordered off the regular menu with a glass of great wine.

Only callout to management. You have a great vibe with awesome staff. Upgrade your menu for customers who want more for dinner, than what everyone else on Main St serves: burgers, tacos, fried options. Your food quality & presentation is great, just don’t be content with “bar food”. You are sandwiched between multiple bars, sushi & Mexican food and nowhere on the street is there a nice, casual mid priced venue. You can do better on the menu & also add some more premium wines by the glass. The neighborhood will appreciate it.“

“It's our favorite restaurant in Hermosa Beach. The value for money is excellent. Great food. The atmosphere is great—perfect for catching a game or relaxing outside in a quieter setting, especially while watching the sunset from Pier Plaza.“

“Total vibe and great value ! Got a bunch of different things to share for the table - a bunch of skewers, kimchi pancakes, soups, short ribs etc. awesome place to go on an evening out with friends without breaking the bank. Low key vibes love“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

“It was nice that they were open before 5pm because of our flight schedule.
The waitress was super nice.
My daughter and I were ordering Ahi Nachos, she suggested to share.
It was very delicious but huge, it was a great suggestion for us.
My husband said chicken in sandwich was hard, so I put 4 stars.
Our son in law liked his pizza.
Music wasn’t loud at all, maybe because there were not so many people because of the time.“

“Always have a blast here!!“

“Outstanding food and great staff! I wish I lived in Torrance 😂😂😂⚡️❤️“

“Absolutely brilliant. Great Guinness“

“Great atmosphere. Great service!“

“Came for lunch during the week. Fairly busy (no wait) for a Tuesday, definitely some regulars coming through which is always good to see. Ordered the chicken sandwich on their special bread. Fries were good, cooked in clean oil. Overall meal and expeirence was good albeit nothing special. Local tap beers on the menu makes for a unique experience, ambiance and overall theme adds value and identity to Old Torrance. Plenty of parking on-site and free street parking is a plus.“

“Yummylicious and good enough for a dinner , affordable, you going to love it 🥰“

“Felt right at home watching the Pats game!“

“Great experience! Food was delicious - ordered soy marinated crab, spicy crab, cockle bibimbap, and the pork belly kimchi pancake.
There was only 1 server today and he was doing the most bussing and serving all the tables with a positive attitude. I’ve never seen someone work so hard without rest, maintain composure, and treat customers with so much respect.
He deserves a raise!!!“

“Good vibes and good drinks“

“I love the staff!! Kind, accommodating, friendly… just a great a great crew! And the food is delish!“

“La verdad es un muy buen lugar fuimos anoche a cenar con mi familia muy emocionados nos trajeron rápido la comida excelente atención pero en el sancocho me salió un cabello cuando mordí la mazorca estaba ahí enrredado eso me daño todo me dio mucho 🤮 asco el cabello era entre negro y rojizo cuando vi una chica que salió de la cocina con ese tipo de cabello suelto 🤮recomendación debería tener una regla el manager todos los cabellos del personal recogido y más si están en la cocina o entran donde están los alimentos. Deberás ojalá a otra persona no le vaya a pasar eso es demasiado desagradable ya que me dañaron mi cena y con tanta hambre que iba y emoción se me quitó todo. Solo me quedo el asco y hasta ahora no lo supero“

“Love this place but today I had the wings and was very upset.Wings were barely warm tasted like they were not fresh. Buffalo sauce was almost tasteless. Like I said I love this places food but the wings were not on par with all the other food I have gotten there.“

“Jay’s Bar is definitely one of the overlooked watering holes in Silverlake. Nestled in the same minimall complex as Garage Pizza, it provides a warm, cozy atmosphere within its brick walls. Besides great drinks, it also offers delicious Japanese-American food until 10:00 PM. They usually have great movies playing on the Criterion Channel, along with sports. Also, on Wednesday nights they host Sal’s Trivia at 9:00, which is always fun. Come on down and say hi to the lead bartender Constantine, and let the good vibes relax you.“

“대박 맛있음~ 써비스도 최고!! I recommend this little hole in the wall place~ 쨘!! 대박나세요~“

“I will recommend this place for many reasons. The vibe in this place is amazing, food is delicious, and the music is always a big plus. You can enjoy your food and dance afterwards. San Salvador Restaurante, great option if you want to dance until 2am.
Highly recommended. Try it.
