Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Manhattan Beach Post delights with its "amazing food" and "excellent service," making it a must-visit spot for special occasions and brunch. The shared plates, especially the biscuits and scallops, are crowd favorites. While the vibrant atmosphere adds to the charm, it can get "very loud," challenging conversation.

    My friend choose this place for his birthday dinner and I hadn’t been here for well over five years. In the past, I have not found many good options other than biscuits and I try to lay low on the carbs so that isn’t really a great option. We shared the brussels sprouts and fries. While I thought the brussels sprouts were just OK the fries were phenomenal! And yes, I do know that fries are carbs. I ordered the Crudo for my entrée since I wasn’t very hungry and the server said it was more like a starter, even though the price was the same as the entrées. For dessert, we ordered the Elvis and it was to die for. It was disappointing though that they did not comp it even though I had put on my reservation that it was a birthday dinner and I also told our server that as well. Kind of cincy in my opinion.

    They were out of several dishes and one came cold, but the service was wonderful and made up for it. It may have just been an off-day

    Consistently outstanding. We hadn’t been in several years as we’d moved out of state. So many things aren’t what they used to be. Lots of restaurants go thru changes and it shows in food and/or service. Happy to say Chef David has seen to it that the cuisine is as good and better than I remember. Five stars.

    Handcut fries were great. The cheddar bacon biscuits have been and still are very tasty. Ora king salmon entree was excellent. Skirt steak was good but the chimichurri was a little strong.... It's much louder after the remodel. Also, table right by the glass door/window is colddd.... Had to put my jacket back on. The draft coming through was a cold one.... November 2024. Amanda our server was great. Scoop of eggnog ice cream, caramel, pecans was excellent.

    Good to bad: The mushroom toast is excellent, but you need to like piquillo peppers (tastes like sun dried tomatoes, I love them!). The small Chef's Feasting Board is not a feast, there is barely anything on it. The roasted cauliflower florets were way too spicy. There is a tendency at stylish restaurants these days to make things overly spicy, especially vegetables. It is not necessary. Vegetables can taste great and interesting without burning your mouth. The restaurant was loud, if you like that. The ambience was nice, but it seemed a bit tight. You will overhear your neighbors conversation. "Lively" is the right description.
