    Hot wings (all flats) and a side garden salad
    Tisha R.

    I don't need fancy. I only need fresh and delicious with great service. The background music is just that with a nice volume. It's a beautiful day outside so the doors are open. Jaclyn came right over and took my order. I'm energized until evening. Didn't appreciate the gnats trying to share my food. Shoo, not here.

    Good ambiance. Average food. Quesadilla was good but meat did not have as much flavor as I like. Guac and salsa should be better in LA. Good service.

    The food is whatever. The service was absolutely horrible. We arrived like 5 minutes early. No one came to greet us. No one came to seat us. And when someone did they took someone else that arrived after us. The ambiance sucks too. Horrible place. We went here for Mother's Day and it was a waste of time and money. Hopefully this place closes down.

    Squash blossom empanada

    I first discovered 21 Square Bar and Kitchen a few years back thanks to a Yelp event. I then got to try it out again for brunch with a friend and then for Thanksgiving brunch a few years later. Fast forward four years later; I am back and this time for dineLA. I happy to say this was one of the best dineLA 2022 meals I had. Their dineLA menu for lunch was $35 and consisted of a 3 course meal with choice of starter, entree and dessert. For starters the choices were Shrimp Ceviche Tostada, Squash Blossom Empanada and BBQ Pork Sliders. For the entrees choices were Furikake Crusted Local Fish, Adobo Braised Lamb Shank and Roasted Butternut Squash. Dessert was Cinnamon Churros. For the starters we got the Squash Blossom Empanada and BBQ Pork Sliders. The Squash Blossom Empanada was good but the BBQ Pork Sliders were phenomenal. The pork belly was so tender and even had a slight crisp it too. As for the entrees; my mom got the Furikake Crusted Local Fish and I got the Adobo Braised Lamb Shank. The Adobo Braised Lamb Shank was great. I don't get lamb too often as I know it has to get cooked just right. I am happy to say that they cook lamb here really well. There was no aftertaste at all. The lamb was also perfectly tender and I loved the additional crispy texture that the shallots gave. Last but not least was the Cinnamon Churros. Ooh I love churros and these churros definitely made me go "ooooh." They were filled with caramel! They were perfectly sweet and delicious. Overall another nice experience at 21 Square and am really happy I got to check out their dineLA.

    I was looking for a local DineLA spot and found 21 Square Bar + Kitchen which I wasn't familiar with. I was pleasantly surprised! Parking-wise, I wasn't quite sure if the restaurant validated hotel parking, so just parked across the street at the mall. 21 Square Bar + Kitchen can found going into the lobby and to the left side. It has big open doors to a nice patio area and a big bar area with a few tables. The bartenders were super nice and chill. Going into the DineLA menu, here's what I got: *Shrimp Ceviche Tostada: The presentation of the food on this was a little off and the tostada itself didn't look fresh (apologies if I'm wrong!), but the shrimp ceviche itself was delicious. Refreshing and was a great start. *Adobo Braised Lamb Shank: Also surprisingly solid. The plating on this was better than the ceviche and the polenta base was good. The lamb was a little salty but overall just went well with the polenta. Loved the contrast. *Cinnamon Churros: Again, the presentation itself wasn't spectacular, but the flavor was terrific. Bite into one of these churros and find a good amount of caramel overflowing. It's so good. *Local Red Ale: Super solid and delicious! I think the pricing / plating can be a little better overall, but think there's promise. A solid 3 1/2 star place that I don't mind teetering to 4 stars.

    My friend who is a flight attendant had to stay here and we were meeting at a late hour so we decided to try out this place to have late night dinner. Service was just ok, food was not that good.. (had a bite of everything and that was enough) old fashioned was bad.... I asked for a specific whisky but they didn't have it so just asked for whatever they recommend, it was too sweet... and somehow the color was Red! - weird.. I will not come back here.

    The experience at this restaurant was overall good with no complaints hence 4 stars. We were staying at the hotel that this restaurant is located in, for work travel and extended get away. It was convenient for late returns to the hotel to grab a bite to eat and beverages to drink. The restaurant was indoor and outdoor with a simple and relaxing vibe that extends out towards the pool. Our go to was the chicken wings (perfectly crispy with sauces on the side), shrimp flat bread, brownies, and wine. Was pleased with the food. The staff in the restaurant was friendly and helpful (hotel staff should take some hints from the restaurant staff)!

    Had a resort pass to Marriott's pool today and ate here for lunch with our 3 year old. What a perfect way to spend a weekend. Amazing food, service, ambience. High chair available. Huge patio area kids can run around and have fun while waiting for food. Kids menu includes Mac&Cheese, butter pasta, milk and fruits that my little one likes :)

    Doesn't have extensive selections; however, with what they have to offer, they are pretty good, although rather high priced. Love their thin breaded, tasty wings. Located adjacent to the lobby and close late, so it is very convenient for hotel guests to eat there. Their outside seatings are desirable for catching fresh air. Worth note is that their take outs may be only lukewarm, not piping hot/freshly cooked).

    Steak Protein Bowl

    Steak bowl was really good. Very fresh. I was impressed by the skirt steak. Got it medium rare and was flavorful and tender. The service staff was friendly

    Cranberry Apple Tart (vanilla ice cream)
    Trina L.

    Took kids for Brunch on Christmas Day. Something new to do for the holiday. Their mash potatoes were a hit for my son. He. LOvES. Potatoes! Nice cooked Prime rib, daughter enjoyed it and Ate. All. Of. It! She loves meat. We shared a dessert (Cranberry Apple tart) the only picture I took. (Sad face) I loved the holiday vibe and the waiter was very attentive. I will be visiting the bar in the near future. A good place to have a drink and watch a game or two if you're looking for a spot to vibe. Happy New Year Yelpers!

    Cindy L.

    Jaclyn was amazing and gave great service with a big smile. People there were so nice and friendly and after we ordered our food dish you can see that we are doing OK. What a great guy. I ordered psmoked bacon, scrambled eggs and cheese, right toast, and the best crispy hashbrowns I have eaten in a very long time. You add a little Saracha and it doesn't get any better than that! I also ordered a large glass of tomato juice, it was perfectly chilled and delicious. If anybody is looking for a good breakfast even if they're not staying at this place I WOULD highly recommend going to try it out.

    Julio's Burrito - Mostly Chorizo and avocado burrito with hash browns on the side.
    Matt G.

    I ate here for breakfast one morning while staying at the Torrance Marriott. This restaurant has a bar and plenty of tables. The breakfast menu had many interesting selections but I was in the mood for a breakfast burrito. I ordered Julio's breakfast burrito which is supposed to have scrambled eggs, queso fresco, chorizo, potatoes, avocado and hash browns. The burrito mostly had chorizo and avocado with hash browns on the side. The burrito was good and it was quite thick. I ate my meal with a coffee and it was good. The meal came out quick and I received good service. Good food, good service, nice place and overpriced (expect it at a hotel). Four stars!

They have seating on the patio and inside with both tables and booths or at the bar. The decor is fun with bright vibrant colors and picturesque walls. Food was decent, though basic and (see picture of Truffle Fries, they should have spent a few more seconds in the fryer to get at least a little golden and have some crispiness rather than blanched and lackluster). The Machaca Scramble was the most flavorful and best tasting dish we had at our table as the corned beef hash and eggs were standard (not bad but nothing to Yelp rave about). By far the best part was the Bottomless Mimosas which are offered everyday, not just on the weekends! Big bonus! Our server was attentive and had a happy disposition. I felt Serendipity has so much great potential, between the decor, service and bottomless mimosas I'd imagine they would have more birthdays or group celebrations going on, especially for such a large space. But the vibe was a bit off with the low playing Spanish music, I would imagine if they had more pop music or upbeat music to fit the vibe of the place they'd have more of a fun vibe. Not that there is anything wrong with Spanish music, it just wasn't jiving with the vibe of the place and was so low and not so up beat (romantic Spanish ballads were playing). The laminated menus also gave an old diner vibe instead of trendy "serendipity" vibe. I'll still come back to see if they can match the vibe to the decor and try a few other menu items, but I do hope they up the ambiance. And get that extra star status!

The restaurant has inside seating for 40 guests and outside for 30. We arrived between breakfast and lunchtime and were able to get the last outside table. The attentive staff got us seated right away, and after browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items (arrived in 15 minutes) : Marine: The buckwheat outer layer was soft, not soggy, and with nice resistance. The light creamy tomato-based dressing with sliced mushrooms was pleasantly flavorful. Both shrimp and scallops were of good size, fresh and juicy. Fromage: Like Marine Crepe, the buckwheat out layer was soft. The mild brie cheese provided pleasant creaminess to the filling. Seasoned bacon, scrambled egg, onion, and mushroom added nice savoriness to the dish. The portions were sensible and the prices were reasonable. Very nice culinary experience.

Of course it was a cheery yellow interior with lots of floral accents, hence "Yellow Vase." After perusing the extensive menu at our table, we realized we had to order and pay at the counter, where they were doing a bustling business with tempting pastries and fresh java.

It was no surprise that she ordered the Smoked Salmon Plate ($16.95). The salmon arrived on a fresh French baguette with capers, red onion, tomatoes and cream cheese. I like variety, so the 2 by 2 ($16.95) was right up my alley. The two pieces of French toast were homemade perfection. So were the two scrambled eggs, the two chicken sausages and the rosemary potatoes. What an ample, delicious brunch. We were too busy catching up to photograph our meal, though. Sorry, 'cause it was pretty! Just wish the water cups were larger as we had to make several trips to the H20 station for refills. Follow the yellow brick road - I mean Catalina Avenue - and go!

It would have been ok but there was some cherry foam on top that I don't think was listed on the menu. I dislike cherry flavored stuff it tastes like cough syrup to me.
