    I needed to update the review because I recalled there were numerous flinging insects that greatly detracted from our experience. I believe they were gnats or flies. It was uncomfortable having to repeatedly swat at those pesky intruders

    Vegan Hash
    Praachi S.

    I loved Cafe Wild! From service to ambiance to quality and quantity of food, everything was amazing! The employees are extremely friendly and accommodating for allergies and ingredient preferences! I had the vegan hash but was able to remove the mushrooms and quinoa and replace with another vegetable! Food came out fairly quickly, and wow!! So goooooddd! Would come here again just for the potatoes! Perfectly crispy and seasoned! Absolutely amazing experience! It's a quiet and relaxed vibe, which makes it easy to socialize and have a good time! Plenty of seating inside and some seating outdoors! There is metered parking outside but no parking lot designated for cafe wild! Would highly recommend!

    Breakfast burrito
    Scott N.

    We had a good little breakfast here - got the burrito, hash & breakfast tacos. Everything was made fresh and the eggs were cooked perfectly. We got some Mimosas and they were generous with their OJ/champagne ratios! We sat on the street and that was a nice option!

    Great service and friendly people. The coffee is so so, but the food is awesome and cooked with care. I know it can get crazy busy here, so thankful I got to try it. We came at 10:45am, and all the outside seating was taken. But, got to enjoy the food and good conversation with my boys. Enjoy!

    Banana Caramel Pancakes
    Bethany L.

    Cute cafe by the beach- order at kiosk and you seat yourself with a table #. Banana pancakes and french toast were not too sweet, which is usually my gripe with sweet breakfast items! Breakfast sandwich looks good but I didnt personally try it. Prices are average for the area.

    There was absolutely no reason not to do a full 5 stars for this experience! It was simple, last day of my LA trip with my daughter. Returning to MN to suffer the wrath that is winter...I wanted to eat somewhere by the beach, go for a walk, sit outside. This isn't hard in this neighborhood but I am also a foodie and trying to eat healthier in general but love that about SoCal. My daughter and I walk past, looked at the menu and the seating options and it was an easy choice! Sat down outside on the sidewalk with a view of the ocean on a wonderful December morning! I ordered the breakfast burrito with some kind of side and a coffee...my daughter...I think she had some eggs Benedict thing, an almond danish and some fancy drink! Food came out quick and it was delicious. Great ingredients , great service and there is no better view. All fantastic. Love small places that care so much about the food and the ingredients ! I would definitely come back, so many choices in this area but so worth the visit! KT

    Looking for some vegan breakfast, and found this adorable cafe the Vegan Hash with an Almond Milk Latte fit the bill! I will definitely return, the staff is helpful and accommodating, the location is charming! Just blocks from the beach! Wonderful way to start the day!

    Vegan Hash with an egg
    Lynn N.

    This place was super friendly, freaky fast and had a great outdoor seating option! The food was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed my vegan hash. It was a great way to start the day!

    Smoked Salmon Toast
    Jack L.

    Your typical dime a dozen brunch spot in an affluent area that is quite overpriced for what you get. Ambiance is fine with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was friendly although it took over half an hour to get our food during a time of the morning that was not very busy. Food was pretty good, but nothing spectacular especially looking at the price for what we got. Was nice to go there once, but I would not go out of my way to eat here again.

    Good Vibes Burrito
    Christine L.

    This is such a cute brunch cafe right by Manhattan Beach with the friendliest staff! The guy taking our orders was actually so nice and helpful, definitely embodying that kind beachy vibe. We sat outside which was cute with the blue exterior of the cafe and was great for enjoying the nice weather. For food we split the Smoked Salmon Toast and Good Vibes Burrito with chicken sausage. The toast was yummy with the everything bagel seasoning, and the burrito was hearty and delicious. The salsa and hot sauce was definitely helpful for the burrito. We got the burrito with the breakfast potatoes, which were tasty and went well with everything. I also got a cappuccino, which was frothy and good.

    popped in to work on a rainy day! many gluten free options & the staff was so personable & kind. plenty of seating & wifi available! coffee was yummy!

    Cutest cafe we came across on our early morning. The sun was shining and just a light breeze so it was perfect to sit outside. The pancakes were delicious especially that cinnamon butter it comes with. The smoked salmon toast was good and that poached egg was perfect. My mom had the point break breakfast sandwich with no egg and she loved it. The service was great as well. They speak Spanish which is a plus. As for parking if you are out and about early then parking won't be an issue (street parking). You order and pay on the spot. They bring your food to wherever you sit. The coffee was amazing, they have a station on the side where you sweeten it to your liking. Will be back!

    Breakfast is amazingly great here I always get the steak and eggs or the chilaquiles. Definitely recommend both plates.
    Elizabeth M.

    Food is amazing with an amazing view of Manhattan beach. Staff is always friendly and greets you with a smile. The service is great. 10/10 I definitely recommend eating here & I will definitely be back!!!

    The wrong burrito I didn't order.

The food was excellent! The ribs were fall off the bone, my Mac and cheese perfectly creamy and hot to the touch. The Coleslaw was amazing! Not overly mayonnaisey and super fresh. My niece had a Caesar salad and the spicy Mac, she doesn't eat a lot and she ate both of these to where there were no leftovers. My husband had the seafood pasta and he enjoyed all of it- to the veg last bite. My nephew had the teriyaki chicken, unfortunately the first chicken he got was undercooked and he didn't want to get sick, general manager Nick came over and was amazing to him! He made sure it came out hot and fresh and cooked better. Just for reference , it wasn't severely undercooked but he didn't wanna take any chances. I absolutely loved the casual atmosphere and the World Cup fans (that's why we were in town) and I will definitely book a reservation here next time we are in town! If you are local, I would highly recommend dining here!

The steak is or was, mediocre. This is a seafood restaurant and specialty. If you come here, I'd say don't do the surf and turf (steak) but opt for more seafood. The shrimp grilled in the shell is lackluster because the shrimp often sticks into the shell and dry out, harder to eat and less delicious, in my opinion. All of the fishes that are grilled are great and the best options.

Look I would've given this place 3 stars, but the customer service and wait time was ridiculous. Hear me out, this is my experience from last Saturday. So first it can be challenging to find this place, since the pier has so many level to it. Look for the elevators. When you get there, for the first time, you see a main line, well for what? Then you see other lines, well for what? Then you see an oyster line, oh. In order to determine what each line is for, you have to do independent research. From whom? Well the employee, who do not show case any form of customer service. There were so many people lost and confused. To break it down, each "Order Here" has their own area of what can be ordered by the pound and/or cooked. So not all lines are equal. There is a crab line, seafood boil/pre-seasoned seafood, oyster, clams, I think I saw fish and fried platters, which was the longest. So after much deliberation, an employee managed to wrangle the customers to form a line. Although his mannerism seems like I'm just done with this place. One might consider ropes to further avoid these mundane confusions... I got Ana's seafood boil mix, $99. It came with a lobster, dungeoness crab, peeled shrimp, clams, sausage and potatoes. The employee told me about 10 mins. I'm like okaaaay, only 10? I walked to their souvenir shop, nothing crazy or must haves. Just cheap Chinese things with their name printed on. I return in 10 minutes. The guy doing prepping/expediting the pick order was in a frantic state. Older white male, white mustache. He was running around, mixing orders up, couldn't even tell what customers had what. The employee that wrangling folks came to help him collect himself. So 10 minutes wait turns to 15, 20, then 30 minutes. I had 2 other employees check up on my order, they said it's not ready. Okay. Finally about 35 minutes it's ready. He didn't even call out my order, I had to wave my ticket. The first rule of speed of service, never over sell the time. If it's gonnabe 30 mins plus, say 40 mins, gimme a bs reason, short handed, etc, I don't care!But why would you tell me it'll be 10 mins?! So finally got the food. Flavor was pretty good. Lobster, was okay. I wished the shrimp had the head on. Clams were big. Sausage was good. Potato seemed like the diced ones from a can, they were so small. The crab, however, is the driest. Yep, for a place that exclaims "Quality Seafood," it was kind've of a let down. They taste like the bottom batch of the crab at Las Vegas buffet. You know the batch that sits on the bottom, they don't ever rotate because the employees don't care. So it's just marinating in its own dry filth. The crab was so dry I could put that in an Advil bottle instead of cotton. So now if you ask me, would I come back? Maybe, just maybe. Anytime soon? Nah, not right now. Also with the mention of a tourist trap, it's no different than Seattle's Pike Place and surroundings.

It used to be my favorite restaurant in the world for several reasons: casual with a LOCAL vibe, new and exciting menu every time we came in, delicious food experiences as they were making such amazing dishes. With the remodel, all ties to its past (the post office) have been removed. Now it is just a fancy Marie Calendars with no personality. For the first time ever, last night for Father's Day, I didn't see a single main dish item that interested me. We had all appetizers and salads. For some reason even the bacon biscuits underwhelmed. The flavor just wasn't as savory as I remember. The tomato salad had very sad tomatoes. The risotto lobster dish did not seem to have any risotto in it; it was all corn. The Muscles were good and the green beans were good. I also like the shrimp on toast, as strange as that sounded. I enjoyed the strawberry dessert as well. Thankfully, Justin, our waiter, took great care of us and made up for any disappointment we were experiencing. It seemed to me that this restaurant is now just an afterthought for the busy owners as they manage several venues. It is no longer the standout leader in town it once was.
