I've probably driven by Dominique's Kitchen a thousand times...finally tried it and did not disappoint. Cozy French spot right off of PCH, there is a small parking lot. I appreciated the Caesar Salad includng the traditional anchovies. The cook on the Sole was fantastic, with the tarragon butter really shining through on an otherwise mild fish. The shareable floating island was a fun and airy treat to end our group's meal.
I came here years ago when my family lived in the area, but haven't been back since last week! Service is amazing, they are friendly, attentive, and accommodating since I had my baby with me. But the food is top tier! Flavors are fantastic and portions are unbelievable for a French restaurant. I hope they never change because that is extremely difficult to find these days. PAN SEARED SOLE FILLET: I got this exact dish over 6 years ago and it's might even be better than before. The sole is so flaky and cooked perfectly. The spinach and wild rice accompany the fish well and the lemony butter sauce is chefs kiss! No complaints 5/5 ESCARGOT: The bread chunks provided are nicely toasted so that you can dip it in the herby butter coating the escargot. Escargot is also well prepared and wasn't chewy at all. Highly suggest making reservations because they do fill up and also just a note that their private parking lot has less than 10 spaces.
The specials were amazing. The attention to detail is unlike any other place in the South Bay.
Wonderful people creating and serving beautiful food in a cute & cozy bistro-style setting. Iconic status at this point.
"The food was out of this world! Definitely call ahead and make reservations--the moment you take that first bite, you'll feel like you've gone straight back to France . The service was okay, but the experience and flavors more than made up for it. Relaxed, chill atmosphere. I'm definitely coming back."
This is a cozy French restaurant with incredibly kind service and food that hugs you. It's very warm and inviting when you walk in, and the staff are very gracious and welcoming. We started with the most delicious escargot followed by incredible French onion soup. For the entrée we ordered beef bourguignon and grilled chicken, both of which were out of this world. I have never been served such a large portion of roast chicken. It was so delicious and flavorful, and I wound up taking 2/3 of it home because I couldn't finish it all. Excellent value, huge marks for service and attentiveness. And A+ on the food. Look forward to coming back again soon.
Wow what a treat! This place was definitely an unexpected treat. Came here with family and friends to try a new spot out and it did not disappoint. The inside was dim and intimate like we were gathering in a cottage. The food was spectacular and I mean SPECTACULAR!
Ordered the french onion soup, sole, beef bourgenoin, and agnolottis. Everything was so good! The atmosphere of the place was stunning and super cozy as well. Good service too.
Friends in South Bay discovered this gem during Covid through Dominiques takeout menu. They have been raving about the Beouf Bourguignon and I finally made it in house! It's a cozy atmosphered neighborhood spot. Decent non-exorbitant wine selection and large portioned dishes! It was perfect for a dinner with friends who like to eat family style and share. And we had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. I enjoyed the escargot and the sardine spread. Snagged the last lobster & crab agnolotti and with gracious friends had bites of the sole and beouf bourginon which were good. It felt like having amazing food at your French grandma/aunties/parents' house. French fine dining for me has plateaued so having this type of French family kitchen and French bistro cuisine was amazing. Good quality ingredients, refined basics through experience and just hearty cooking. The service was friendly and nice. I think they had one server for the whole place (its small and cozy) but can be overbearing. It's just that type of vibe where you just go with it. It is was a fine dining pre fixed paring type of place, may have been annoyed. But we just enjoyed the hearty warm atmosphere and the bottles of Sancerre Rouge helped us in a gracious and laughing mood.
A really quaint and delicious French restaurant in Redondo Beach. I stopped in for my first time this past weekend and was really impressed with my dinner. The food quality was great and the menu had a ton of great options on it. They do have a small parking lot attached otherwise it will be street parking. Our waiter was also very polite and it was very lively during our 7 PM dinner visit. The portion sizes are very large here so factor that in to your choices. I would classify this more as a French bistro in that it is casual and has a lot of great French comfort food options. We started off with a Country Pâté and thought it was great. It was very smooth and the bread with it really added to the flavor combination. Next, we shared the Beet Salad, which was gigantic, but had some really nice flavors. It was full of beets and feta so I wasn't complaining, but it could be split between four people it's that large. Finally for my entree I chose the Pan Seared Sole and thought it was fantastic. The butter sauce on top was extremely sweet but in a good way. I also liked the black rice on the side to soak up the sauce and I ate every bit of it. We wanted to order dessert but by the end of the meal we were both pretty full. I would recommend to anyone in the area or to anyone searching for a great French dinner option.
Can't believe we having been driving by this bistro for 13 years and have not tried it! The service was impeccable. Decor a modern take on French farmhouse. And the food.... From the French Onion Soup, wedge salad, beef bourguignon, Provencale Lamb to our chocolate mousse and "floating island' dessert- everything was amazingly delicious! Will definitely be back!
My fav restaurant! Ever have a place that you can't wait to get back to? Mom looked at me and said "Why don't we come here more often?!" Amazing food, wonderful staff (good job Jackson!) and a nice intimacy combine to make this a MUST if you are a foodie in the South Bay. Soooo good...
I've been wanting to come here for years. The lamb chops were delicious and so tender. I was raving about it at almost every bite. My wife got the halibut special and she shared me a few bites, and it was so good. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere and ambiance was amazing, as we shared a love seat for our dinner. Dinner at a restaurant that isn't part of a big chain was unique and refreshing.
We were there for a friends night reunion and I didn't doubt about telling them to go to Dominique's. And I have to admit that it was a hit with them, they enjoy the food, the wine and the most friendly service in Redondo Beach... As I said before to be with Dominique is like being at home but in Paris, when you enter its space it's like being in a Saint Germain alley. I tell you... once you spend a night dinner here, you'll need to come back not one, but many times more... read more

returned to RB after 6 years away and our first stop was to Dominique's. It was our favorite date night and still holds up! Service - great' Ambience - small interior dining room is a perfect balance of intimate date night meets bustling yet casual familial gathering space Food - no notes. everything was delicious. I am a sucker for black rice, and paired with a beautifully crispy and delicate sole was an adventure. Pricing - well worth it, moderately priced for fantastic food. not over priced, portions larger than needed or expected Wine - I need to find my go-to. next timez we will become regulars again! read more
Wow! I can't say enough about the hidden gem. Truly a find. We had the swordfish, oven roasted chicken, wedge salad, baked brie app and mushroom risotto. The serving sizes are ginormous and can easily be shared. This is a definite 10+. Can't wait to go back. read more

Came here for my company holiday dinner and the food was very good! Reminded me of my trip to Paris a few months back! This place gave fancy French cuisine vibes but at the same time very homey, cozy, and holiday spirited. Dim lighting too. First we had cocktail hour and started off with drinks I ordered sangria (fruity red wine) this was yummy! There were liver paste with jam on cracker (my favorite) cheese fondue and other appetizers. The waiters and waitresses gave such wonderful service always looking out for the guests. I liked the slower paced schedule of the food coming out, because there was a lot of food but there was enough time in between to digest down the food before the next. On the cheese platter the danish blue cheese soo good with nuts and dried fruit! The lobster bisque and beef bourguignon with creamy potatoes chefs kiss, and they were very artistically presented, in awe of French cuisine. We finished off with crème brûlée and macaroons and other creamy sweets! Would like to take my fiance here for a romantic date night! read more

Local gem! My husband and I have lived in RB for 14 years and we always wanted to try this place but never did. We finally went for a date night (need to make reservations in advance). The food is very authentically French and delicious. Everything is reasonably priced as well for how much food they serve. The escargot was probably was our favorite, wonderfully garlicky and they're big escargots too! They don't skimp on the liver pate, there's a lot of pate on that piece of bread! Could have used little less dressing on the wedge salad but was still delicious. There's a small parking lot on the side of the restaurant so we didn't have any issues but there's also plenty of street parking as well. Service was great, we'll definitely come back for another date!! read more
This place has been on my radar for quite some time. It's a small neighborhood restaurant serving up homestyle authentic French country cooking. Driving past it, it might just look like a little house with a small parking lot. Upon entry, I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff who ushered into cozy living room-like dining room. The environs really set stage for what felt like a French country homestyle meal. We may have over-ordered as the all the portions were huge! (apps and entrees alike). We had a lot of leftovers between two people. Each of the dishes were all so rich in flavors and textures and oh-so-filling. We were stuffed. Keep in mind, the lot is VERY small with maybe only a handful of spots and it's a little tricker as the drive is a narrow one-way only, so exiting requires you to back out into the street. read more

Dominique's Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in the South Bay. The food brings me back to traveling in Paris. Steak frites--amazing. The peppercorn sauce is truly something else. Extensive wine menu, beef bourguignon, escargots flown in from Burgundy. It doesn't get any more authentic than this. The pricing is also sooo reasonable. The only downside is that there isn't really a parking lot (probably only 5 car spots) but you can park on the side streets and walk down as it's right on PCH. read more

Brutal experience. Be warned: No cocktails. Wine or beer only. Server had a major attitude. One must put in ALL of their food requests at once. Never heard of such a thing. Was too intimidated to let her know the wine was clearly off. I had more because I was too afraid to complain about both the food and the wine .. and had to get through the entire evening which was important to us all. Woke up feeling like death. The seafood risotto was inedible. My husband was starving so managed to eat more but was terribly ill today. The risotto was plated like someone vomited on a plate. Note the picture. Gross. read more

I went to Dominique's Kitchen to celebrate my birthday with my family recently and the ambiance and service was warm and inviting. This is a neighborhood French Bistro with outstanding and affordable food. Everyone got something different and every meal was stellar. Before our main dishes, we shared 3 salads and several fresh baguettes. My sons ate 2 loaves by themselves! Both salads were standouts. We brought some nice wines and the corkage fee was only $20 a bottle. We ended our dinner with three desserts. I would highly recommend Dominique's Kitchen. One of the charms of a neighbor eatery with local owners, is that they came to our table to chat. We loved that. We can't wait to go back. Bon Appetit! read more

Great vibe, fun little place not too far from the beach. It's far enough that I'm not fighting beach traffic to find a spot. They do have their own parking lot as well yet I grabbed a spot on the street. Excellent service as well as food and drink suggestions from Casey tonight. She's bubbly, friendly and professional. She knows her menu, her ingredients and her pairings; which is the best combination for my needs! I ordered the beef bourguignon, which is famous in America, thanks to Julia Child. It was sooo delicious!!! Overall amazing find on my travels, I'll be back!! read more

Hi Liza. I read a review about your amazing bouillabaisse. Can I request bouillabaisse (I booked for Friday 12/27)?
Not on regular menu. Usually during Bastille day we have it.
Is there a private dining room with a TV for projecting a powerpoint? How quiet is the room for doing a dinner seminar on a Tuesday or Thursday night?
This is definitely the wrong restaurant for this. It is small and intimate. Try Bluewater Grill, Cheescake factory, H T Grill.
Do you still allow people to bring own bottles? How much is your corkage?
Currently it is $26 for a standard bottle
Is there a private room for parties?
You can reserve the whole space or just the front room. It's wonderful for an intimate gathering.
Does this restaurant still have Baked Alaska? I totally watched the latest Masterchef episode with Baked Alaska and I'd love to try it, but I don't see any recent pictures with it here.
We used to have ir on our menu but nit anymore. It may come back in the future.
Is this place open again? The website says they're taking a break through 7/1/22?
Not sure what you mean by again.... It has been a French Restaurant for decades, but the owner and chef has changed a few times. Dominique's Kitchen is open for business.
Do they require proof of vaccination?
No they do not! They require masks. They do social distancing.
What is the menu for New Years Eve?
Happy holidays! The menu's posted on the restaurant website: http://dominiqueskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/newyears-eve2019.jpeg.
I am interested to know if anyone has dined on the enclosed patio in the winter? I am planning a large group dinner in December and the patio is the only option. I am worried we will be cold. Can anyone offer any insights?…
Actually it is quite nice and comfortable. One of my favorite restaurants in the South Bay!!
Is there regular drinks available such as coca cola or juice? Or are there only alcoholic drinks?
Yes, menu says regular and Diet Coke... see wine menu.
I have a resv on 5/26. Does Dominique's allow corkage?…
I believe it's $15.00 but you might want to double check.
