The views from the pier are great,…read morewhether you visit during the day with clear ocean horizons or at night when the coastline lights up on both sides. On a clear day, you can see Palos Verdes Peninsula in one direction and the Malibu coastline in the other. The surrounding promenade is lively and well-maintained, perfect for a walk, bike ride, or just relaxing by the beach. There are plenty of great restaurants, cafés, and shops nearby, making it easy to turn a simple visit into a full afternoon or evening outing. Parking can be a bit tricky, especially during busy times. There are metered spots available, along with nearby lots and street parking if you're willing to walk a bit. The pier itself is also home to the Roundhouse Aquarium at the end. Dogs are not allowed on the pier.

Beautiful and simple…read more Not your typical pier, It is not loaded with rides and arcades or serving any food. But it does have a free aquarium, and you can also fish here. This pier is more of a take on the view type of pier. It's beautiful; you can see the ocean and feel the water breeze. It feels like you're in the ocean the further down you go, and the aquarium at the end is a huge, fun, free activity to do, especially with kids. Loved this pier; enjoyed the walk and the ocean breeze.

I ate at Hennessey's and then set up camp on Manhattan Beach Blvd. The live music was very festive, the kids loved the snow and Santa and the fireworks show was incredible. It very much helped that it was a wonderfully warm December night with an amazing sunset. This is a must for SoCal families and I think, like me, you all will quickly make this a holiday tradition.

Five Star Brunch!*…read more What a fantastic brunch experience in ritzy Manhattan Beach! The maitre'd couldn't have been nicer and seated us at a beautiful booth by the window. Luckily, we got out before the sun became too uncomfortably hot. The decor is beautiful, tastefully done without being too much. A stunning bar, a beautiful open kitchen, hanging lamps, the exposed beams, the skylights, chef's kiss to the interior designer. I was there for brunch, which runs from 10a-2p on weekends. Eggs in Purgatory A variation on a shakshuka. Insanely delicious! Baked eggs in a yummy tomato sauce, veggies, some kind of pepper situation (pickled?), perfect balance of spicy and sweet, perfectly seasoned. If they sold the sauce by the gallon and the toasted sourdough by the loaves, I would be the first to sign up!! Bomboloni Di Gabriele More or less a stuffed doughnut with a crunchy sugar layer on top and yummy Nutella stuffed into it. Perfect dessert after the savoury eggs. What a fantastic experience! Can't wait to come back! PS. Looks like we've reached $12 draught beer! * Yelp has a Rotten Tomatoes-style problem: How do you score brainless-but-fun Marvel movies and so-serious-my-brain-hurts Oscar movies on the same scale? How do you score triple--Michelin-star world-famous chef establishments and Mom-and-Pop shops that over-deliver on the same five-star scale? I have no idea, so please be warned that this five-star rating might be a subjective call and YMMV. Enjoy!

I raved about the B.A.P. (Big Ass Pancake) after my first visit, so of course I had to order it again. Unfortunately, this time it didn't wow me like it did before. Last time, the pancake had those perfectly crispy edges, and this time it didn't. And I LOVE a crispy-edge pancake! I also ordered scrambled eggs, but they were a little too runny for my liking. The Bourbon Buzz brunch cocktail was good, though! Definitely enjoyed that. Service was just okay this time. Our waitress wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. At one point we needed something, and another waitress, the African American woman (I didn't catch her name) noticed and took care of us right away. Overall, Love & Salt still has a cool ambiance. This visit just didn't hit quite the same.

I've been blessed to hear Pennywise, Weezer and Reel Big Fish perform here in the past. I was delighted to make a reappearance this year for Everclear. Art Alexakis of Everclear always had a special place in my heart. Several of his music lyrics during the times he performed with Craig Montoya and Greg Eklund had deeply touched my soul. Any event with the word "free" entails large crowds, which equates to hard-to-find parking. It's always a chore to look for parking in Hermosa Beach, in general. We parked our car in Redondo Beach near the Catalina. Just fyi, metered parking units there didn't take cards or bills so bring some change. Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach also offers free Summer Concert Series. Check them out at Southbayevents.com

Went here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. It was pretty chill around noon most tables in the…read moremain dining area were full by the time we left. Parking was easy since there is a lot and a garage for additional parking. We both started with the cool as a cucumber mocktail. Very refreshing though a bit sweet for my taste. For our food we opted to get the lunch special which comes with a starter and a main for $26. I opted for the kale salad (half portion) and the Paccheri Lisci (spicy pork sausage sugo, fennel, sage, pecorino) while my friend got the meatballs and TONNARELLI (cacio e pepe). All the food was excellently prepared and very flavorful. kale salad: perfectly dressed and if I wanted something lighter for lunch I'd be perfectly happy having that with the chicken another time Meatballs: I only had a bite but the meat was tender and the tomato sauce that came with it was delicious Paccheri Lisci: pasta was perfectly al dente, had a nice kick of spice, and the sauce was perfectly seasoned. This was my best bite of the meal. TONNARELLI: I had a bite and usually cacio e pepe is not really something I enjoy since I don't particularly care for the gaminess of sheep's cheese but I really enjoyed my tasting of this. I'm sure if you are a fan, this one would hit it out of the park. Service was good overall, food was divine, and I was happy with my overall experience here. If you need a pasta place this is a solid choice!

My brother, who doesn't like to drive shows this restaurant in Manhattan Beach on a Saturday in which there was a volleyball tournament, one of the biggest events in Manhattan Beach the entire year. Needless to say, I will not reduce the rating of the restaurant due to the impossibility of finding a parking spot. I drove around for 45 minutes and my cousin just drove around for over an hour looking for a spot so we can have a 1 o'clock brunch. Setting that aside which is not the fault of the restaurant, the inside of the restaurant is light and airy with a very attentive staff. I ordered the gluten-free penny Pomodoro, which was delicious. My cousins ordered the: Meatball sandwich, Bun, Housemade Beef Meatballs, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Parmesan Italian Cold Cut Hero Torpedo Bun, Salami, Mortadella, Cured Ham, Provolone, Tomato, Red Onion, Arugula Frittata SEV Vegetables & Goat Cheese, Fresh Baguette, Jam, Roasted Potatoes Everybody loved their meal and the manager came to our table to give us some insight on the three Slay restaurants on Manhattan Avenue. My cousins tried the olive oil cake and they gave their approval. If you know a trick for the parking and/or do not go during the Volleyball tournament, you will enjoy the food served at this restaurant.

To be honest, it is not that bad, but it is also not that great either. It got the job done, and it satisfied the kids' craving for pizza. I had a slice and felt a little nasty afterward but not sick, just bloated and nasty. My kids did not complain, and they ate their pizza with no issues, but I didn't think it was all that. I honestly think I would have been happier with Little Caesars. It wasn't the worst pizza, but I'd choose better options. Hell, I'd pick Chuck E. Cheese over this.
