Food was AWSOME!! Loved everything about this place will definitely come back again! I highly recommend it to everyone!

We ordered different items than usual and found some worthy gems. The artichoke is very good. It has a nice rub on it too and the honey Aoili is to die for. I got a modified mahi mahi Mediterranean plate with a side of mashed potatoes and spinach. Mashed potatoes and spinach were incredible, the fish was a wee bit over cooked and the portions were a little tiny though (besides the spinach which was a plenty). The surprise hit of the entire meal was the chocolate brownie for dessert. It was served warm and covered in warm gooey chocolate sauce with walnuts baked into the brownie and a side of ice cream. I will come back for this for sure!!! All in all faves between this and other visits: Mashed potatoes Chocolate brownie Salmon piccata Spinach read more

The food was delicious and the service was top notch! Oyster super fresh and the smoked salmon chowder was delicious!!! Let me not forget the expresso martini and the la toxicica alcoholic drink was awesomely tasty!! read more

We love the Fish Bar. Great servers, cocktails and food. But the last three visits when ordering medium size oysters I've been disappointed. Most if not all are small and some are tiny. When you specifically ask for a certain size and get something else theirs a problem. Next time I will send them back. Hope they improv. read more

I ordered a bowl of the New England clam chowder, and it was nothing short of amazing; best chowder I've ever had. The complimentary bread and butter was off the chain as well. The lobster roll was fantabulous, and the macaroni and cheese was incredibly tasty and delicious. The ambiance was pretty chill, and the server was very friendly and responsive. read more

Service, ambiance and quality of food are very good. Unfortunately the serving sizes are ridiculously small - especially for the main dishes. We ordered a couple of appetizers, which were delicious - especially the seared ahi salad. As mains we had a salmon skewer and an ahi fillet. Both were very tasty, but were nothing more than a few small bites. I should have taken pictures to validate the point. It should be noted that neither my wife nor I generally eat much. The fact that we left hungry hence means that you'll likely leave hungry, too, unless you want to load up on fries or spend hundreds of $s for a 2 person meal. Sadly, this means that we will not be back, because a basic requirement for us eating out is that you don't need to start cooking at home upon returning from dinner. read more

All great food. Remember correctly, I had half shell scallops. Fish tacos a few other dishes as well

The food was very good, the fish is fresh melting in your mouth. Went around 2pm on a Saturday and it wasn't that busy.. easy to find, easy parking close to water! read more

FishBar - Salmon Bites & Crispy Calamari very good - Seafood Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Super groovy restaurant north of Rosecrans on Highland Ave and they are open late so that's 4 stars in itself! I have the mussels steamer for $9.99 and the sauce was in my top 5 of any mussels I've eaten in the last year. I can't stop thinking about that amazing evening!! Our waitress was so nice and accommodating! I took my mussels broth to go and will be using it for a crab boil base next time I'm in MB hanging at my friends pad. We had a blast and loved the seared ahi tuna salad and cocktails too! Trust me, it's solid for late night fresh fish! 2/28/20 Scampi style mussels are BOMB!! Came here again and it's happening at 9:36 pm!! read more

Important: Ordered food during Quarantine. Cannot speak to the in-restaurant experience. Quick recap: - Food: Very good - Portion size: Good - Service: Table service + Deliveries - Environment: ? - $: Slightly expensive - Perks: N/A More details: Again, unfortunately cannot speak to the in-restaurant dining experience. However, we ordered over the phone and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. We had chips & guacamole ($10) for starters. The guac is definitely homemade. Excellent! We followed with the seared ahi tuna with a side of broccoli and one of mac n cheese ($28). I really liked the tuna and the spices that they put on it (would venture to say it is a mix of chili, salt and cumin?). We also had a chopped salad w grilled salmon ($19). I liked the salad and the shredded egg. The salmon was good. As it was Taco Tuesday, we could not NOT have tacos lol So we went for the shrimp tacos ($10). They come in 2 and the quantity is good. That was my least favorite, as I prefer fresh shrimps than fried ones. But, these are personal preferences. Finally, they had put a little side of bread that was delicious. Overall? Good food. Could be seen as expensive but definitely fair for the quality of the meal. The staff is amazing: nice, helpful and accountable. Will definitely be back. Thank you for keeping up the good work during this crazy time of Quarantine! read more

Coconut Shrimp! Salmon Tacos! House salad AND the vinegrette dressing! THE Brussels sprouts!! Chose the FishBar (forgot to check-in) to attend a business lunch/meeting. We raved over the freshness of the food and our server Erica and almost forgot about why we were there...haha. When that happens, it's good food! read more

This place is very cheerful and fun to go during the holidays and festive decor. Service is excellent. I ordered the crab dip and it original didn't have any crab but they brought out another one with no hesitation. Waffles are great ! read more

Just driving through Manhattan Beach a few days ago and stopped at this lovely restaurant. I thought the selection and prices were great! Probably one of the best salmon and avocado tacos I've ever had. The smoked salmon chowder was very good, ahi salad and warm bread pudding for dessert also topped the charts. Service was excellent too. But the lobster bisque was not good at all. Extremely watery. It had flavor but it shouldn't have been called a bisque considering how thin it was and there was no lobster to be seen either. It was more like lobster tomato flavored cream. I hope management takes a second look at that soup. read more

FishBar - Salmon and avocado tacos - Seafood Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Another excellent meal from Fishbar, this time a much more satisfying takeaway experience. So glad this place weathered the Pandemic years. The Baja style fish tacos were delish (although the online menu only offered blackened the kitchen followed my special request); the steak,with pasta and mashed potatoes, was perfect medium, and the appetizer quesadilla was wonderful. Thank you Fishbar - Happy Valentine's Day! read more

In a word, disappointing. If you want more words, read on. First disclaimer for the restaurant, it was Valentine's Day. So they were busy. But, as a customer you try to pick a nice place to celebrate this day. Second disclaimer, it's been a couple of years since we've been here and I previously gave them 5 stars. We had reservations through OpenTable and they were quickly honored. Our request for a taller table was granted. Thank you. Our server arrived quickly and took our order since we were on the clock with the parking meters across the street. A second employee brought it out and at first tried to deliver it to the wrong table where the customers still had menus in their hands. She then brought it to us. Both meals, while delivered quickly, were lukewarm. The fish, the shrimp, the vegetables, all not warm. Soon after that, our bread arrived. Server said that the kitchen burned the first batch. My wife's Mahi Mahi was more rubbery than firm and, again, was not hot. We talked with our server about the temp and texture. We sent the Mahi back and the server said the chef tested it and that is the correct texture. Please note, this was not our first time having it so it may be the way they make it, but it's not the way we've had it dozens of times in the past. She came back and recommended a different fish, which I later learned was $11 more than our initial order. A mention of price difference would have been nice. That one was okay but again, not warm. My shrimp and scallops plate was also not hot and was very disappointing to see. Three small to medium scallops and four small to medium shrimp. The server let me know they serve by weight. It's obviously not by appearance. I ordered the baked potato with no chives and it came with chives. The server just kind of looked at me when I mentioned it. We were disappointed in both the food and the excuses given for the temperature and servings. Neither of us enjoyed our dishes or our experience. Hope your next meal is better than ours. Enjoy! read more

FishBar - Frozen? Looks smashed all oyster.taste was so so. - Seafood Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

FishBar is one of my favorite restaurants in Manhattan Beach. The service is always on point and the food is out of this world! I've been here a couple times for lunch and dinner, and each time I've never been disappointed. I ordered the coconut crusted mahi mahi the last time I was here and was blown away. It came with brown rice, sautéed sweet peppers, pineapple pico de Gallo, and butter rum sauce. Hands down my favorite dish on the menu. The seared Ahi Tuna is a close second, but if you're going to choose an entree the coconut crushed mahi is the way to go! They also have incredible fish / lobster tacos too! Honestly everything on this menu is delicious so you can't go wrong. If you are a fan of Brussel sprouts you should definitely order the lemon dill Brussels! read more

Came here by myself for a good lunch. Loved the atmosphere, super cute spot. My waitress Kat was amazing and extremely kind, and had helpful recommendations. Clam chowder was delicious! read more

We have visited FishBar on two occasions now. And they were both amazing!!! Once we came for dinner, and most recently we came for lunch. I'd say come for lunch or when they open because you can get seated quickly! When we came for dinner it was quite busy! And I know why! It's amazing!!! The seafood is delicious and the meals are prepared well. Our favorites would be the truffled crab mac and cheese and the fresh Kumamoto oysters. The lunch special is pretty much worth it; you get a clam chowder, choice of wedge, house, or Caesar salad, and choice of salmon or shrimp and scallop. I am super happy with the Caesar salad and salmon! Tasty and fresh! We also got a strawberry lemonade which is freshly made. It's not syrup-y at all. Service was quick, friendly, and the vibe is awesome. Right next to the beach, you can't go wrong! Perfect to bring your babe to! read more

Restaurant was highly recommended by a friend. We had the crab queso dip, whole lobster & two sides: garlic, bacon green beans, garlic fries, blonde beer, margarita and key lime pie. The service was friendly and fast. The food was fresh and prepared well. Public parking across the street was inexpensive and the view of the beach (from the corner) was sublime. read more

FishBar was a last-minute choice but we are so glad we decided to visit! Every dish we had was extremely well-flavored and seasoned. The seafood was very fresh and each dish felt well-balanced and unique. Our favorites were the coconut shrimp, the clams in garlic broth, the chipotle calamari, and the fried donuts. We will definitely be returning here in the future for the amazing food and excellent service! read more

FishBar - Chipotle Calamari - Seafood Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

We love Fisherbar and go every week. You know you're getting the freshest, highest quality oysters. I love that they serve a mignonette sauce with it along with cocktail sauce. The Cioppino is also a favorite, lots of seafood, delicious broth and pasta. The Poke Bowl is so fresh and delicious, with sliced veggies, avocado and brown rice. Love it! Crispy rice tuna appetizer is a standout too. Not many restaurants give free bread anymore. Their fresh, warm sourdough is the best! Staff are attentive and friendly. My father has special needs and they treat him so kindly. We feel so blessed to live within walking distance and can be regulars. read more

Nice place to enjoy seafood dishes. Loved their outside seating with heaters to keep warm during evening dining. Their house bake breads really praiseworthy because were practically from over to the table; we had second serving of this delicious and perfectly baked bread that was crispy outside and soft inside. King crab legs were fresh & tasty, but with M.P., we probably should have passed. Their clam chowder was superb and both skewered shrimps & scallops were pretty good, although the latter may be a little undercooked for my taste. One very pleasant and memorable experience dining here with loved ones. read more

Was able to get in without a reservation Wednesday evening!!! Started with the New England clam chowder. It was soooo tasty but just warm temperature. Would've been so much better if hot. Salmon bites were good. Dressed well with sauce and pico. Get the crab cakes! Had the slides as a Wednesday crab special and highly recommend. The crab quesadilla was also good, Asian flavor, slightly sweet. Parking across the street in a lot or street parking. read more

I was craving oysters so tried out this place that's relatively close to my office. Raw oysters on half shell was good as expected and I didn't get sick so that's important too. On the day I had lunch happened to be a lobster special day so enjoyed the lobster guacamole which was tasty. I'll be back to try more items on the menu. read more

FishBar - Seared Ahi Tuna Tacos - Seafood Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Ambiance: trendy dining vibes, fully opened indoor dining, and heaters equipped outdoor seating, which shared the walkway with pedestrian, a bit annoying when passing by strangers either staring at you or your food, parking garage is across the street, standard enforced rates in manhattan beach area Service: they don't take reservations, waiting time was about twenty minutes, very friendly but slow and forgetful, had to remind a couple times to refill water and place the orders, the waiter mainly served the table was very knowledgable about their menu and food, and it turned out he provided both good and bad suggestions Food: plenty choices from the menu, daily and seasonal specials Fresh Oysters - ** Naked Cowboy Oyster from NY, not so fresh, two out of three I ate had too fishy taste and were so gritty, the failure rate was too high, and it's certainly over priced for the quality, half dozen cost $20+, I initially wanted to try more kinds from different regions, was told six was the minimum for one kind, though the bill showed three as the incremental, anyway, after trying the NY one, meh, I wouldn't want to taste the rest available for the day, Kiwi Cups from New Zealand, Shibumi and Kumamoto both from Washington Pan Sauteed Crab Cakes - ** A combo of red and dungeness crab meat, served over a bed of mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette and lemon dill aioli, two pieces. I have eaten many crab cakes at different seafood restaurants, unfortunately, had to say here served the least favorite kinds, oily, barely tasted any crab meat, mostly just the flour dough, you'll see more clearly by checking the photo of the chopped crab cake, hardly find any crab meat Fishbar Cioppino - **** Jumbo shrimp, salmon, mussels, clams, scallops and calamari in a rich tomato broth, served over linguini with toasted sourdough, rich in flavors, the shrimp and scallops were great, bread was tasty when dipping in the broth, overcooked linguine too soggy, overall still would recommend Pan Roasted Chilean Sea Bass - ***** soft and juicy, melting in the mouth, highly recommend Grilled Asparagus - *** average taste Smoked Salmon Chowder - ** actually it's suggested by two servers, good creamy taste, however, the chef making it must have gotten a really shake hand when putting the seasoning and overdosed the salt by accident, it tasted ten times saltier than it should be, also barely saw pieces of salmon inside, which may be normal that's how they cook it here, though it's like I would expect seeing clams in clam chowder Price: small to medium portions, surcharges for sides and any substitutes, expect $60+ per person, in my opinion overall it's not worth the food quality though it's still okay to try out read more
