    From 2:30 p.m. until 5 p.m, you can sit on the Strand House's Manhattan Beach patio and look out at the sea while enjoying seafood from a custom-outfitted cart. Read more

    Located at the heart of downtown Manhattan Beach, is this poppin' and chic restaurant. The view of the ocean and subsequent sunset is unparalleled.Food is very fresh and the service is stellar as well

    Great for the sunset and a quick lunch at the patio. Beautiful view, great margaritas. Okay food.

    An outstanding view makes this a popular date & business restaurant. The general feeling seems to be that ambience, drinks, and view tend to be slightly better than the food. Worthwhile to check out.

    Amazing mushroom pizza! Love couch seating downstairs with lookout of pier. Be Midwestern, ask for ranch to dip your crust in. Amazing ranch. (Sorry, but true!)

    Not sure if there’s somewhere you can get closer to the water around here. Friendly staff. Nice place for a coffee or a drink or a snack

    The meal is great, so is the view. The prices are not so high for a restaurant like this. My only complaint would be meals are a bit small but it's pretty common for this kind high class restaurants.

    The cinnamon roll to start with a couple cocktails. Everything is excellent, for breakfast the French Toast and for brunch the Eggs Benedict 19.

    Claypool Cellars' Pachyderm Sonoma Coast rosé's hints of minerals, lemon and peaches pair perfectly with the artichoke pizza’s cream leek base or the roasted Jidori chicken. Read more

    Get a seat by the glass for that view and the Bloody Mary has bacon in it. The blueberry waffle was well done.

    Manhattan beach hip?? Oxymoron? Anyway don't bring your appetite portions are small..quality is good. If you order some bread they will charge you an extra $7...great location on beach..

    The style of the restaurant is reminiscent of the early 90s, but the chicken and waffles for Weekend brunch can't be beat.

    The wine is delicious, actually didnt have to wait long for a table but it took 30 minutes for them to bring me a glass of water. Seriously? Pretentious. Go across the street to Rock'N Fish instead.
