It's unexpectedly large for a place by the shore, and I was thrilled because even though I checked Yelp and Google, I couldn't find much info. They're open super early and stay open late, and it's just such a gem especially since that area tends to shift toward restaurants or other businesses. This neighborhood really needed a good grocery store, and they have everything: fresh meat, drinks, snacks, fruits just like a full local grocery. The staff was really nice and laid-back, though the only downside is that parking is super limited and intersection it's tough to get in and out since it's near a small with a red light. Still, I'm really glad it's there, and I want to give a big shout-out to the local folks to support this place. The prices are really reasonable, and we need to keep these local businesses thriving. they're the heart of the community. I gave them five stars. I just hope they can clean it up a bit inside, maybe freshen up the shelves or ceiling. But overall, I'm so happy it's here, and we need more of these places in our city.

You'd think that tater tots would be easy to do right, but it is hard to find a place that fries them to perfection. This is the spot. Perfect! We also had a BLT and grilled veggie sandwiches. Both were 11/10. Easily the best grilled veggie sandwich I have ever had, as well. Highest recommendation. Looking forward to exploring the other menu options. We asked about the cook and the bar tender / waiter informed us that the cook came from Michelin starred restaurants with additional notorieties, and recommended we next try the food listed on the off-menu placard. Will do so next time! Beer was solid. Great spot. Pet friendly.

I searched my favorite high end grocery stores, but I had to either pay $100/lb or wait until after new years. I only need 1 or 2 legs for my small batch of Christmas cioppino. I saw an ad for Pavilions - king crab on sale for about $70/lb. I called right away and Robert was kind enough to set aside a couple legs. Not colossal king but king crab nonetheless. I was grateful, thanks Robert! My cioppino was killer delicious, my Italian grandmother would be proud. I must remember Pavilions next time I need some extra awesome service. The shopping center has several shops, businesses and food and eateries, so parking can get a little wacky. Wear your patience hat!

There are so many flavors to cater anyone's palette. I got the pleasure to try the passionfruit, raspberry, Dubai, whiskey, and salted butter caramel truffles. The most unique flavor was the whiskey caramel with Suntory Toki Japanese Whiskey - I don't any other place that incorporates chocolate and Suntory! Definitely give that one a try. If truffles aren't your thing, they have plenty of chocolate bars to choose from. I highly recommend the berry bar (organic dried raspberries, strawberries and pacific sea salt). Service is welcoming and friendly! They'll offer you a free sample of any of the truffles (minus the Dubai flavor). It's a great way to try something before committing. If you get the a box of truffles, they'll wrap them up in a cute packaging with your choice of a colored ribbon. Perfect for gifts or to yourself!

I'm going to be honest--I almost don't want to write this review because I selfishly want to keep…read morethis place a secret. The Green Store is one of the South Bay's best hidden gems. It's family-owned, the service is impeccable, and everyone there is incredibly kind. The sandwiches are the reason you come here. You build your own by grabbing a ticket, heading to the back, and checking off exactly what you want. My go-to is a French baguette with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, pesto, and tomatoes. It's absolutely generational. This is the perfect spot to grab lunch before heading to the beach. If you're lucky enough to know about The Green Store, don't take it for granted--it's another generational South Bay find. (But between us... let's keep this one on the down low.

The employees are also very friendly and helpful, and they always greet customers with a smile. One thing I really appreciate is that you can request an insulated bag for free if you need to carry frozen meat a long way home, which is very helpful for someone like me who lives farther away. I really wish Wild Fork would open more locations in the Inland area, especially around West Covina. I would definitely shop there more often if I didn't have to drive all the way to Manhattan Beach!

There were tons of seafood options. I noticed lots of people enjoying crab. The dining is under a cover but is "outdoors". You can see the boats and marina from here. The seafood was freshly cooked. They have oysters, uni and lots of fish options too. You order and then wait for your number to be called. The atmosphere is super casual. The bad: There aren't a lot of tables for larger groups so you might have to sit separately. Alternatively, you could take the food to-go and picnic at the beach. The interesting: My friend didn't enjoy his lobster roll much but perhaps it depends on the style of lobster roll you get. The interesting: They have a lot of beer options.
