There's a long side bar, which made it easy to order drinks even with the crowd. The bartenders were attentive, friendly, and quick with service.

Overall, it's a fun spot for a night out with friends!

To start off, the portion sizes are HUGE. We got the branzino which was literally enough for all 4 of us and we even had some leftover. The bibimbap was also huge and came in a sizzling pan so the rice got nice and crispy! Lastly, even the kids pizza was huge and honestly so good-it tasted like it came from a wood fired oven rather than just an industrial oven. There's plenty of seating here as well and it's nice that outside there's a cute little play area for the kids. Definitely a nice place to come with family :)

I made a reservation online before because other reviews recommended it and I'm glad I did. There was a wait when we arrived around 6pm. The staff were very welcoming when we arrived. I ordered a double skinny margarita and it was very good. Maybe one of the best margs I've had in a while. My friend and I split the combination fajitas for two and it didn't disappoint. It comes with chicken, steak and shrimp. There was a ton of flavor. We both got a side of rice and beans which was a bonus. It is a lot of food so you definitely get your bang for your buck. Highly recommend. There is a free parking lot that wraps around the building and there's free street parking. The overall vibe was great and I definitely will be coming back very soon!

One of my favorite spots on the Peninsula to slow down, grab a drink, and let the night unfold. The room has great energy, ocean views, glowing fireplaces, and a crowd that's clearly happy to be there. It's the kind of place where you settle into a chair, sip something strong, and suddenly two hours disappear. What makes it special is the live music. Local musicians play most nights from about 7-11pm, creating the perfect soundtrack for the evening. This past Saturday we stopped in after dinner at Nelson's on the property, an excellent combination. We caught Olivia Pucci, who lit up the Terranea lobby in a striking red dress, delivering smooth, soulful vocals that set the tone immediately. Her mix of pop, jazz, and mellow classics is perfect for cocktails and oceanfront vibes, backed by a tight trio on piano/keyboard and guitar. Honestly, this is Palos Verdes at its best: great drinks, live music, ocean air drifting in, and a relaxed crowd enjoying the moment. The best nights are the ones where you stop watching the clock and just soak it all in, this is exactly that kind of place.

And I were so excited to come to - The Gingerbread lounge. Which is located inside their main lobby bar. It's a small little pop up bar decorated like a gingerbread house and other fun Christmas decorations (Anything at this resort is beautiful. Especially during the holidays) so it's safe to say the atmosphere is great. The gingerbread lounge offers -Cocktails -Mocktails -snacks / desserts. mostly cookies. They have about 12 different sweets. And it runs from -November 29, to Friday, January 2; weekdays from 4 to 10 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays from 2 to 10 p.m.  Unfortunately, we got there and it was closed. There's a few different dates circulating around saying it closes on the 2, 3rd and one place Even said the 5th. A worker did say they closed before the end date though. (We should have called. Especially with a couple different dates circulating for the gingerbread lounge) So we were not able to enjoy the gingerbread lounge. However, they did have enough to make 2 different cocktails from their limited menu. Which I got the- CLAUSMOPOLITAN - Ketel One Oranje Vodka, Cranberry and Vanilla Bean Puree, Lime Juice and a Frosted Sugar Rim (I don't think they did the sugar rim. Which is fine. They were out of everything from the pop up bar) They were all out of the dessert options from the gingerbread bar So we ordered from the regular menu. We got a lobby seat. Which, the lobby is very nice. Has great seating, couches and etc. has a couple fire places. I went to the bar and asked them how it worked. I was able to have my drink made, and I took it to my table while he sent the waiter over to take our other orders. Carson was very very friendly. But since it was busy he really wasn't to be found I ordered the-MARGHERITA PIZZA fior di latte, tomato sauce, basil (This is a one size pizza, it's not huge, but it's great if you're sharing other things) this was delicious But I'll be honest. I came for the drinks. I asked the bartender at the main bar area if he could make me something special. I wanted the - pornstar (he laughed, and agreed to it) Carson, our server dropped it off at our table right at the same time as Michelle's drink came out. Michelle had the -EQUINOX * lyre's agave blanco, hibiscus, lemon (This was delicious AND beautiful. Loved the color of it) Michelle also ordered -CARAMEL CRÈME BRULEE CHEESECAKE caramel cheesecake, crème brulee, baci crust seasonal berries tossed in mango passion compote I then had the bartender pick a drink for me. He went with the very popular-UNDER THE PALMS. tito's handmade vodka, lillet rosé, lemongrass, pandan, lemon, coconut water Very refreshing! I could drink these at the pool or at a polo match and just relax. P.S- this place also offers flights! It was also a very very rainy day. And valet was amazing!!!!! He saw me walking in heels and carrying Michelle's gift bag and my purse. He stood next to me with the umbrella. I kept telling him he didn't have to and I actually love the rain lol. But he insisted. As soon as we got to a covered place right by the door he told me to keep the umbrella and use it for the rest of the night. I wish I had his name. He was absolutely amazing and he went above and beyond I will say, the staff here are all amazing. Even the comment about the waiter, Carson being a little slow, he was great, he was just taking care of sooooo many different people This was still such a fun time! I loved having some small food bites and drinks with my girl. The tree inside and outside was still lit up To be honest I love the lobby bar. It was raining, but it still had nice views. I love the different seating. They have a large community table, separate tables, they have nice leather chairs but I really wanted the couch area to not be taken up. If I'm comfortable, Have a bff with me And I'm drinking? I could have stayed all night. I would of lived there Bathroom is also very close to the lobby bar Parking is good for me. The handicap parking is up close and I don't have to pay a fee because the handicap sticker. (If you don't have a handicap sticker unfortunately the parking can be far or expensive) If you go to places like the Spa or restaurants closer to the water. They have people on golf carts take you all around the grounds to where you are going So I highly suggest not just coming to the lobby bar and to check out more of the resort. I could spend hours here I can't wait for the gingerbread lounge for Christmas 2026.

My daughter and I shared the Caesar Salad and Chicken Paillard. The salad was good. I added the smoked fish which had a slightly sweet taste so it was not my daughter's favorite. The Chicken Paillard was amazing! The jidori chicken is very juicy but the sauce takes it to another level. I would order that dish again. Their staff is very nice and helpful. The server who kept refilling our drinks recommended we order french fries to dip into the chicken paillard sauce since we raved about it. That was a good suggestion since we were sharing the dish. Overall, this restaurant was just our style. It is cozy but elevated, the staff is attentive, and the food and wine are delicious.

After reading reviews, I came specifically for the Fish & Chips, and they absolutely delivered. But before I get to that, the service deserves a shout-out. From the hostess who greeted us to our server throughout the meal, everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great experience. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly cooked and disappeared fast. Then came the Fish & Chips. The fish was crispy, golden brown, and cooked perfectly. What really surprised me was the portion size. These weren't little pieces of fish hiding under a pile of fries--they were massive pieces of cod. My wife and I couldn't stop laughing at how much fish they served. To top it all off, we shared the key lime pie, and it was outstanding. Smooth, creamy, and the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, parking was easy with plenty of paid options nearby, and every part of the experience felt polished without feeling pretentious. Finding a restaurant that nails the food, service, and overall experience isn't always easy, but Salt & Pearl checked every box for us. Safe to say we've already found a reason to come back. Pro tip: If you're ordering the Fish & Chips, come hungry. Those cod portions are no joke.

The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.
