    This place is closed. Sadness. Great concept. Was interested in coming here as I am a car buff.

    I mean, why is their rating so low? If you sit on the patio, the views are great. I can imagine…read moremaybe they had an issue with poor service. That seems to be a bulk of their poor reviews. When I went, service was ok. They don't deserve such a low rating. I think Uncle Bills is better, but I understand why it's way more crowded. So come for the view, just don't be prepared to get your socks blown off by the food. It's passable, come for the view. So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work."

    Came by for brunch with a party of three. We were seated at a small table on the outdoor patio,…read morewhich felt a bit cramped for three people. The table was also unbalanced and shaky. We started with a coffee and café latte, which were just okay. We wanted to order the ceviche, but it was unfortunately unavailable. Eggs Benedict with Ham: Not worth the $19 price tag. The egg wasn't very runny, and the overall flavors were nothing special. Belgian Waffle: Met expectations--a safe choice. Breakfast Pita: Essentially a breakfast burrito in pita bread form. Very solid and served with a great hot sauce. The spiced hashbrowns were also a very nice touch. Overall, the menu felt stronger on the Mexican side than the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, the hot sauce ended up being the most flavorful part of our meal. If I were to return, I'd stick to one of the Mexican dishes. Parking: Metered street parking, which can be difficult to find during peak meal times.

    The Hive is one of my go-to spots in Manhattan Beach. The food is super clean and healthy, but…read morestill filling--tons of great high-protein, well-balanced options that don't feel like you're sacrificing taste. The location is perfect too. You get that laid-back beach vibe with a great view, and it's ideal whether you're grabbing a quick bite before heading back to the sand for volleyball or settling in for a chill remote work session. It really feels like a local staple--easy, consistent, and exactly what you want when you're trying to eat well but still enjoy the whole Manhattan Beach lifestyle.

    I had lunch at The Hive because highly recommended the "healthy-tasty food". I wasn't sure what to…read moreexpect, but my expectations were met! All the servers were warm and beyond the usual helpfulness. My friend saw an empty table they needed to be wiped so she asked a server for a towel to wipe it. He immediately said, "No, I'll do it." And he grabbed a towel and wiped in extra well with a smile. Two of us ordered the Buddha vegan bowl (9/10; quinoa was fluffy, tofu was tasty but a little firm for me, everything else about it was fresh and well-done. The mushroom serving was my favorite part.) My friend ordered the Beef Macro bowl (9/10: beef was the best part and everything else was good. The wild rice was tender; but it tastes "healthy"). My last friend ordered the salmon bowl (9/10: all of us raved about the salmon. Had the same wild rice. I liked it but my friend said it was too soft for her. The rest of the items that came with it were similar and tasty). Before I left, Molly helped me order a mushroom reishi hot chocolate drink. Molly was so sweet and helpful. She recommended the homemade almond milk. (8/10). The ambiance was warm and cozy. I loved the multi-level structure. Therefore, the name, "The Hive". Cute design and a good place to bring a computer and have a quiet spot to chill.

    UPDATE: I WAS…read moreWRONG. THE FLAT WHITE IS NOT GREAT. IT IS AVERAGE NOW. Also... I stopped coming here a lot just because the friendliness feels like a big hit or miss. Not sure what it is or if its me personally for whatever reason, but, despite being super friendly 100% of the time, the owner just acts kind of rude and unfriendly to me for literally no reason at all. I promise I don't smell bad and I brush my teeth before I come. I smell really good. I promise! I think the owner is probably on some hipster nonsense bs energy. Cool man...yeah man... It's a shame because its literally the owner who is the rude one in my experience, not any of his staff. His staff never gives me any of his same stinky vibes. P.U. dude... Sorry, but I don't need to feel tension or your bad energy when I'm paying you like $7 for a flat white that takes you 30 seconds to make for me. Sorry to be such a big bother for asking about some of your food items to see if they are vegan so I could possibly pay you more money to buy a food product from you. SORRY FOR TRYING TO SUPPORT YOUR BUSINESS BY GIVING YOU BUSINESS WITH MY MONEY!!! SORRY!!! Okay?!! :( When you started rolling your eyes or exhaling that passive aggressive breath out because I was such a bother to you, it was in that moment, yesterday morning, that I left Gitana knowing that I wouldn't come back. From now on, I'll go buy the $7 flat white at Caffe Luxxe in MB located the exact same distance from my place. They do not have delicious food like you do, but they also don't have any of your attitude. Positive attitude to your friendly customers is WAY MORE IMPORTANT than sticking to your pretentiousness and icky, terrible vibes. Sorry if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to be Oscar the Grouch to me while I was Elmo. Elmo sad now. Elmo REAL SAD. :( :( :( Caffe Luxxe it is because, even though I kind of like your café better, I like being treated with respect WAY MORE than I will ever like your coffee. It is what it is...
