    Picante margarita
    Pari S.

    Dropped by for the first time, it was happy hour. A packed house and very lively. Only had a drink but the food looked great. The service was very friendly and the drinks were on point. The bar tender was handling everyone alone because someone had called in sick, he did t miss a beat. The person attending the door noticed I was there alone and was waiting a while for my bill, he apologized and explained the delay, which I totally understood and said I didn't mind waiting. He managed to check me out and gave me a discount for the wait. The money isn't the matter, it was the gesture and customer service I appreciated. I'll definitely be returning.

    AMAZING FOOD!!!! We took full advantage of their happy hour and it did not disappoint. We were starving and ordered a bunch of dishes since they had numerous gluten-free options. My husband and I shared the Brazilian cheese bread and the crispy quinoa shishito peppers. I ate most of the sushi, while he ate the burger and fries. Service and ambiance were excellent. We can't wait to come back!

    Artichoke dip
    Adam G.

    Cozy little restaurant just off the pier in Manhattan Beach. Service was excellent, food came out promptly. Prices were a bit high, but probably about average for the area. Had the Tokyo Smashburger, which was delicious. Fries were so-so and the artichoke dip really just did not work for me. Overall a good experience, I'd return if I was in the area.

    Tofu stir fry
    Jordan T.

    The best tofu stir fry I have had in a while! Also got some skinny fries to start and they were fantastic as well! Service was quick and it's a cute trendy spot

    I came for a Japanese pop-up where they were serving amazing sushi and sake all while vinyl records were being spun in the background. Service was great given it was a holiday weekend. The ambiance and decor had that hidden gem feel with an upscale twist. I would definitely come back to try their regular menu as I heard it was quite delicious.

    Chicken pot pie
    Paulette D.

    Stopped by BrewCo Manhattan Beach for their lunch special and had a really nice experience overall. We ordered the chicken pot pie, roasted cauliflower, and the Smash Burger Americana with onion rings. The roasted cauliflower was hands down the best part of the meal. It was seasoned so well and honestly addictive. I could not get enough of it. The chicken pot pie came out piping hot and was really good, super comforting and flavorful. My only small wish is that it had pastry on the bottom too, since it would have soaked up all the juices. The burger was fine but nothing special. I think it could have used some lettuce and tomato to help tie everything together. The onion rings were solid. Service was good and it was not too crowded for lunch, which made it a relaxed and enjoyable place to sit and eat.

    Green Goddess Tostada Salad w/ Grilled Shrimp
    George G.

    Cute spot to grab some fine eats! Creative drinks...I got the Terracotta Paloma...and great apps. We ordered chicken wings which were deliciously spicy, Yellowtail Crudo which was picante and fresh. For the main, I had this delicious salad with grilled shrimp and hearts of palm with green goddess dressing. It was light and fresh. So crisp and fun to eat. Service was attentive and speedy. Recommended.

    It was my first time here, came in after a walk on the beach. They have late night happy hour 8pm-close Monday-Friday. I went with the Tropical Mule, I loved it. The service was great and fast. The ambience is really nice, I look forward to coming back to try more food and drinks.

    Been here for dinner after work on Fridays and I love it. The bar or cute lil two top. I'm a schnitzel girl but I had tried the Tokyo burger was tits!! Sabrina was so sweet cute and super quick. I'll be back!!

    Rigatoni alla vodka
    Chad J.

    Their menu has so much variety: from pastas, to sandwiches and burgers, salads, sushi and even chicken pot pie. And honestly everything was delicious. Service was a little slow but that may have been because we were a larger group. The rigatoni alla vodka was also spicy which I wasn't expecting but was still really good.

    Artichoke dip Spicy tuna roll
    Ashley H.

    Good for happy hour ! $10 apps The artichoke dip was very spicy but it wasn't described as so on the menu. Spicy tuna roll was refreshing but not very spicy! Service was a little slow but still friendly. Cute inside!

    Burger
    Shanelle S.

    Casual spot close to the beach with eclectic food offerings. Came here for dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday on a weeknight and made a reservation online in advance. The booth they sat us in for 6 was more on the cozy side, but it was a chill vibe and a nice ocean breeze coming in. I had the rotisserie chicken while my boyfriend had the Fuchs office burger. Both came with fries and were decently portioned. I was hungry but still had some leftovers. We ended the meal with a hit fudge sundae, and that is something that's easily shareable (it was so big!). Metered street parking on a steep incline was available.

    What a fun, upscale bar in Manhattan Beach! We had the Chicken Chipotle Pasta, which was hearty, filling and quite loaded up. We also had the Japanese BBQ Burger with fries and a side salad. I was quite into the BBQ sauce and we wolfed it all down pretty quickly. The bartender was efficient and jovial, which we appreciated. We came in for a quick bite while exploring the city, so we can't speak to the drinks. Seems this place attracts locals as regulars, which says a lot to me. Restrooms are clean and tidy, but they are unisex so there may be a wait. Parking is available in nearby lots or on the street - don't forget to pay the meter.

    Mostly toppings and a few pieces of meat

Their bluefin tuna was really good too and they also offered to make it GF for people in our party. Their yellowtail crudo was a bit too fishy for us. Their octopus was really great as well! For entrees, I tried the salmon and the short rib. The salmon was cooked well, but a really small portion for the price. The veg with it was a bit too acidic for me. The short rib and potatoes were amazing! Would definitely order again!

The other standout on the table was the Monday night special of fried chicken. My peer and boss split that dish and it was plenty. Half of a chicken, perfectly battered and fried! For dessert, we all shared the cheesecake and budino. Very cute place for brunch events as well. All of the staff were very good and multiple people helped serve the table. Go there, get some.

But the women's restroom was not stocked properly with toilet paper and seat covers. This experience was very disappointing because we had been here before and everything was excellent.

Especially since there are so many options in the area, including Joey right next door. At the moment, I'll be taking my business to Joey because they have similar food and clearly know how to run a restaurant.

Drink orders were taken quickly and everyone found a delicious cocktail to begin. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip and fried deviled eggs to start. Everyone loved the dip as there was hardly any left by the time I eyeballed it. That was ok though because I was focused on those eggs. I love me a devlled egg and had never tried a lightly fried one before. The quick fry does heat the entire bite up so just be mindful. It was good but I'd likely try another appetizer first. Then, we got down to the entree orders. They do offer a bistro plate that has a 4 oz filet on top of a little piece of garlic toast. It comes with a side of soup, corn chowder, and a bistro salad. I have to admit, it was a perfect size for me. The corn chowder was creamy and delicious, not too much roasted corn and just perfect amount of heavy cream ans spices. My filet was perfectly cooked, medium rare. I asked and received some creamy horseradish for it, which was delicious. The bistro salad had an Asian vinaigrette and was perfectly crunchy to pair with the filet. My peer ordered the Reuben sandwich which looked pretty amazing. Another ordered the meatloaf special on a bed of mashed with gravy which also looked incredible. We split two "butter cakes" which were so good. Yellow cake with an external crunch of sugar crystals, topped with a berry compote and whipped cream. Now, THAT was a standout among desserts. Go there. Get some. Life is too short for boring food.

The oysters were fresh, they have a rice dish that's a little different but really good, and the key lime pie is fantastic. I would go back to Manhattan Beach just to eat here again.

    My wife and I recently visited Los Angeles to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and a major…read morebirthday milestone, and we were fortunate enough to discover Fishing With Dynamite. We had heard wonderful things about the restaurant, and after our experience, I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. Because of our travel schedule, our only opportunity to visit was during lunch on the same day we had to catch a flight home across the country. From the moment we made our reservation to the moment we walked out the door, everything about our experience was exceptional. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a wonderful corner location and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The service was terrific, and the food was outstanding. The four of us ordered a variety of dishes to share, and everything was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and there was something special about being able to enjoy such a memorable meal together on an important day for our family. But what truly sets Fishing With Dynamite apart isn't just the food or the atmosphere -- it's the people. Every interaction we had with the staff was wonderful. From making the reservation, to our waitress who took such great care of us, to the servers who brought our food and drinks, everyone was friendly, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a great experience. And then something happened that took that feeling to an entirely different level. After we finished our meal, I accidentally left a small bag at the restaurant as we headed to the airport. I didn't realize it until we were already at LAX, sitting at the gate and preparing to board our flight home. My heart sank when I realized what had happened. The items inside -- AirPods, Beats headphones, an external battery pack, an expensive pair of sunglasses, and other things -- were replaceable, but a few of them were gifts and had sentimental value to me. Given that we were already at the airport, I had pretty much accepted that I would never see the bag again. My wife contacted Fishing With Dynamite, explained what had happened, and the staff immediately went to work trying to help. We were put back in touch with the waitress who had served us, and incredibly, she remembered us and was able to locate the bag. We offered to pay for shipping and for the inconvenience of someone having to take the package to the post office. Instead, later that day, the general manager reached out to us personally and assured us that they would be happy to ship everything back to us promptly -- and, even more incredibly, they wouldn't accept a penny from us for doing it. That gesture meant far more to me than simply getting my belongings back. In a world where customer service can sometimes feel transactional, the people at Fishing With Dynamite reminded me that there are still genuinely caring people who are willing to go out of their way to help someone simply because it's the right thing to do. We went to Fishing With Dynamite expecting a great lunch. We left with an incredible meal, wonderful memories from our anniversary trip, and an experience with a group of people that I will genuinely never forget. The food is fantastic. The restaurant is beautiful. The service is excellent. But most importantly, the people who work here truly care about their customers, and they proved it by going far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect.
