Best Tapas Restaurants in Redondo Beach

Thanksgiving Dinner at FwD!!! My daughter and I automatically passed on the yardbird and defaulted to the best hole in the wall seafood joint west of the Mississippi……..the sun was setting on a beautiful, warm day in MB and that called for the Queen Mary…..the “Mother of All Raw Seafood Platters”!! Oysters, clams, mussels, jumbo shrimp, Maine Lobster, King Crab, freshly chilled, plus all the special FwD dips and vinaigrettes and the Cape Cod Squash Rolls for some extra carbs. Next was the so delicious and creative Harissa spiced Octopus a la Plancha with a Peruvian cauliflower and hummus sauce…….Wow, that dish was so well executed by the boys in the back!! Of course I had to order the tried and true Maryland Blue Crab Cake and my daughter always gets the FwD signature grand slam Koshihikari Rice, a traditional Japanese umami dashi risotto style dish with raw egg yolk that I guarantee Shohei would love!! And of course that iconic Key Lime Pie is the only way to end a fantastic meal here……..hats off and super thanks to server Akela and Manager Katie, Server Jess and Hostess Kaylee, the entire FwD crew working hard on Thanksgiving!! Happy Holidays!!!

Food really good. We loved burger as well as Korean ribs. Wine list very limited and only Pinot Noir was not good, more like a heavier red. Wish they had an Oregon Pinot.

EXCELLENT DINING EXPERIENCE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ EDER, OUR WAITER, WAS PHENOMENAL AND VERY HELPFUL. WOULD DEFINITELY COME BACK AGAIN! 🥩

Food was outstanding! Everything was fresh ingredients, owner was so nice!

Great food and vibe! The table was a bit small.
