For the most part we enjoyed our visit but I was VERY disappointed that they removed their pork chop from their menu! I went there specially for that so I won’t be going there as often as I planned.

We were there on Halloween night and it was pretty dead but still had a great time. Unfortunately we were next to some really loud people but other than that it was great and their pork chops are off the chart!

Great food and friendly service. We did call ahead to notify we’d use the 10 min grace period so was surprised our table was another 10 min wait, but overall very good.

The bread was definitely microwaved, but otherwise food was good. Just a bit overpriced. I’m not sure how one would label this restaurant: casual, high end, modern? It doesn’t really fit any genre. It’s just a bit too expensive to be a casual, weekly restaurant. And the food and ambience aren’t quite fit for a fancy date or celebration. I think it just needs to pick a lane, and don’t microwave the bread.

Restaurant that was established by a great and well known Chef. The place is crumbling down, the establishment has no soul food has no heart and well everyone can notice even the staff members can tell. Food was luck lasting, wine selection was minimal but the sad part is that you can tell that the wines are not being stored correctly. Bottle Caymus was hot as if it was taken out of box. Sad to say these kind of things but I do want to see another great restaurant thrive in Manhattan Beach but the place needs someone to really give it some love and build a strong foundation.
