Nice seafood spot near the beach. The Lobster Bisque is amazing. I ate it so fast that I forgot to take a picture. The Mahi Mahi was amazing and such a big portion, I could not finish it all. The staff are friendly and very attentive. Our server Tionne was kind and made sure we were well taken care of which was appreciated. Definitely go early for brunch to beat the crowds. I would recommend this place to seafood lovers. read more

FishBar - Coconut Crusted Mahi Mahi - Seafood Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

BAD EVERYTHING! Very small serving size. I got the Fried Shrimp. 5 shrimp that were slightly larger than Bay size. Tasted like they came out of a frozen box you'd buy at Ralph's. My wife ordered the shrimp tacos. Super small portion of shrimp (3 in each taco). My soup was luke warm. The drink server was chomping on her gum. Plus two soft drinks. All for $70 plus tip. We definitely will not be going back. read more

Great service even better food the best king crab and crispiest garlic fries around also had the 50:50 muscles and clams clams weren't bad but definitely getting all muscles next time read more

This place is awesome!! Everything was perfect! My husband and I went here during happy hour and were very impressed. Our server was the sweetest and I wish I would've grabbed her name to brag on her! We ordered the coconut shrimp, crab cakes, and lobster tacos and everything came out hot, fresh, and very flavorful. It's located on Manhattan so it's just a walk away from the pier. I highly recommend if you are wanting to get some tasty seafood by the beach! read more

What can I say, beside, this place is awesome!! The quality of service here is outstanding. For me, that accounts for a larger percentage of what makes a great restaurant great than the food quality does (which, by the way is also very nice)! For real though, you can feel the good energy from the staff, and that will always inspire loyalty at a restaurant. Shout out to Eloy, Nathan, Bri, Casey, Cody, Sam, Rose, Chloe, Josh, Mustache Mike, and all the rest of the crew there! You guys do a great job, and I know you'll keep it up read more

Parking is either paid across the street, valet,or street parking across the street. Service: i must admitt we were escorted to our seats fairly quick. Food: me and my date love our oysters, with our favorite location being closed for the night we decided to give this place a shot. I was not disappointed we ordered 2 dozen and were very satisfied. read more

I had the opportunity to come to this establishment on Taco Tuesday. I have normally come for lunch or dinner. When I arrived, I sat at the bar. I was encouraged to order the salmon chowder, which I did. Unfortunately, there was no more salmon chowder so I got the clam chowder. I ordered some crab tacos. Delicious!!! I'd definitely order again but on corn tortillas. The flour tortillas made it a bit doughy. I love this place and will always go back. read more

Been coming here for a while now; the food is good, but the service is terrible. Always takes forever, busy or not busy doesn't matter. For example, we went on a relaxed Saturday with three servers and maybe 10 tables filled but somehow it took over 15 minutes before we realized the server wasn't planning on taking our order. Other servers or greeters would pass by without asking if we were taken care of. No negativity or anything; just forgot about us I guess, even though we were right there... we ended up just getting bored and left. Sucks to have such a good place otherwise get marred by bad service... Leaves a bad taste in your mouth after spending what would be a fair deal on otherwise good food. read more

Good service, would have liked it if we had only one server but they switched between 3 or 4 people during our short meal. The food was delicious and the drinks were nice and strong. read more

FishBar - Coconut Crusted Mahi Mahi - Seafood Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

One place to always be happy food is grate. We trying new restaurants and found this one now is the only one we want to go.

Food was delicious! Service was excellent!! This was our very first time. My husband and I came in on a Saturday night. While it was busy, I felt like they managed the customers very well. Two people came up to us within a span of 5 minutes to ask if we were being helped. The clam chowder was divine!! I would come back just for this. However, the excellent service we received was everything! They even gave us complimentary dessert because if was our first time. We will definitely return!! read more

I don't even know where to begin... Everything we had was delicious and the service was great. Salmon bites, clam chowder, shrimp cocktail were all delicious starters. Would definitely recommend these appetizers to anyone going in there and the chowder in a bread bowl was a hit amongst the 4 of us. The lobster roll was delicious and the fries were nice n crispy, the salmon piccata had great flavor and the shrimp and scallop skewer was also delicious. Sides with the skewer were the green beans and Mac and cheese and were equally as delicious! Definitely looking forward to going back with friends and family! read more

Came in on a Monday afternoon, sat on the sidewalk patio. Service was average, hosts were pleasant, one waitress was great the other was rude (woman w/ shoulder tatto) ordered a French 75 she just sat it on the table and didnt acknowledge the drink, me, or the person i was with. The drink was served in the wrong glass, should not have had ice but did, and no lemon twist. When she passed back around i got her attention and asked for it to be strained and her response was snarky. Food was mediocre overall sashimi: 4/5 crabcakes: 3.5/5 shrimp scampi: 3/5 (under seasoned/missing ingredients) french 75: 2/5 read more

The food: Starters: Truffle crab Mac and cheese ($15.99) Salmon bite ($14.99) Salmon Sashimi ($11.99) Dinner: New England clam chowder ($5.99) Lobster Mac and cheese ($17.99) Lobster tacos ($17.99) with Brussels sprouts and red onions on the side. The salmon sashimi really blew the minds of all my taste buds away. Extraordinary! As for the lobster tacos... So very juicy and rich in flavor. You don't believe me, go check out the photos. Too bad you can't taste the photos, ha ha! I never thought lobster tacos can taste that good. Absolutely impressed. The Brussels sprouts and onions on the side were unbelievably delicious. I mean how does something so simple, taste so amazing! They clearly know what they're doing over there in that busy kitchen. What didn't impress me was the New England clam chowder and the truffle crab Mac and cheese. I found both of them a little disappointing in terms of rich flavor. I'm not saying they were bad, I'm just saying they were not special and I wouldn't get them again. All I can really taste from the truffle crab Mac and cheese was the cheese and a tiny hint of crab taste. But now back to positive vibes... The Salmon bites were very very very delicious, I mean you will salivate just by looking at the photos. As for the lobster Mac and cheese, I sadly didn't get to taste it because the table was so full, and so was my stomach! But I heard it's nothing short of great! The atmosphere: This place is very big with all indoor seating, kinda dark, but that's how I like it so that no one can notice how much I'm actually eating LOL. They also have a big area for sitting at the bar, also posted pictures of that so check it out. It's busy and loud, and fun to go to with friends or dates, or anyone who loves fish. Trust me, they'll appreciate it! The service: Our waitress was Samantha and she was very friendly, helpful, and sweet despite how insanely busy it was. Speaking of busy, the food was ready relatively fast actually. Also, you can ask for bread and butter while you're waiting, they do that, but I wouldn't recommend since you would want to save room for the actual yummy stuff, not the fillers LOL. The parking: As for parking, I think people were just parking on the street (metered parking), we got lucky though because we parked right in front of the restaurant. The wait was only 15 minutes despite how busy they were, meanwhile, we decided to walk down the hill and go to the beach, it was around sunset and the view was breathtaking. Will go again! And again, and again... read more

Twice we have been to this restaurant around 8:30 ish and they turned us away saying the restaurant is closed. The website says they close at 9 pm. Both time we ended up walking to Panchos and they accepted us with open arms. Btw Panchos also closes at 9 pm. Fish bar was never like this as we have been there before around that time. They should changed the closing time to 8:30 pm on the website do people won't drive there and be turned away. We will never go there again after being a good customers to them for years. read more

I love FishBar, everything is reasonably priced- especially for the area. They have an awesome lunch combo that comes with a salad, clam chowder, and a fish. I generally get one of the mesquite grilled options like the salmon or mahi mahi. The skewers always look good but are a smaller portion. The mussels leon are heavenly. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Recommend getting there early because it can get crowded. read more

Best seafood I've ever tasted. They make a delicious lobster roll that can't be matched.

Delicious and we will be back! FishBar exceeded my expectations. First of all, the parking structure across the street had plenty of parking, and it was only .75 an hour! = SERVICE = Alex our server was super friendly and quick. There was also this guy walking around making sure to ask each table if they needed anything else. = WHAT WE ORDERED = + Lobster Mac n cheese : very creamy and a pretty good portion but I found that they didn't give as much lobster as other places. So I would give it a 4/5 but would still recommend! + Ahi Tuna Burger: it was delicious! But it was a small portion, I do like that it came with a side of French fries. Overall I will definitely be back and can't wait to take my friends here! read more

The Fish Bar is lively, loud and swimming in great fish dishes. Lots of great fish served in a variety of schools of preparation. Plus great appetizers and oysters galore! All fish is guaranteed to be fresh or discarded within twenty four hours. I know we are supposed to avoid fried food but fish and chips are meant to be fried and those at the Fish Bar are excellent and said to be among the best in LA. Probably true. They have a great variety of fish tacos including lobster and sword fish, blackened and not. My table mates thoroughly enjoyed theirs and the baby with us loved the very warm bread as did I. Service was great and well priced for what was provided. Very active bar filled with eaters and hungry singles. I guess the food is good bait. Ambience of otherwise nice place is substantially diminished by the ubiquitous televisions placed throughout. And did I say it was very very noisy? What?, I can't hear you. And Tuesday is celebrated with specials for Taco Tuesday . read more

Lively spot for good seafood and a daily specials. Fun bar area for drinks. A neighborhood staple.

Great ambience, great service! The tacos were very delicious but the picatta was slightly on the oilier side, so be aware when you order! Overall the food was delicious and would definitely visit again for the tacos! read more

Reasonably priced casual seafood restaurant and bar with numerous choices. Our first time here, but we will definitely come back for happy hour and dinner specials. Today were ordered the Pan Seared Crab Cakes ($13.99) and two Lunch Specials ($12.99 each) which included a cup of New England Clam Chowder, choice of salad, we chose the wedge salad and a choice of salmon or shrimp and scallop skewer, we chose the skewer. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious, we left nothing on our plate! read more

Had lunch here yesterday the lobster Cobb salad was a bit pricey considering the amount of lobster in the salad. The Tuna appetizer was amazing and service was great. read more

FishBar is a really nice restaurant. The buffalo wing appetizer is flavorful and they give you a good amount (The menu says 1lb worth of wings, I believe it). Their lobster Mac n cheese is pretty good, I've gotten it both times I've been here. It's also good to see that their beers were reasonably priced. (My Corona was only $5) I'd definitely recommend this spot to my friends. read more

I tried this place based on a friends recommendation and I'm glad I tried something new, FishBar did not disappoint. For starters I had the AHI TUNA POKE and it was AMAZING. HIGHLY RECOMMEND I wish I would have had it as my entre as well, it was THAT good! I washed it down w a "must have" drink, their HIBISCUS MARGARITA, not only is it delicious but the presentation was beautiful! To drink, we also had Fish Bar Blood Mary, On The Strand, and Spicy Watermelon Margarita, to name a few. They were all good but the hibiscus was my favorite. The reason I gave it 4 stars was because the entries were kind of bland, and small portions for the price paid. However the fish was perfectly battered and fried and the shrimp were perfectly cooked! I will come back again and I would definitely recommend this place but will most likely just be having drinks and that Ahi Tuna Poke starter! Note: if you take your receipt to Manhattan Beach Creamery you get 20% off their treats! read more

Came here for happy hour and tired the oysters, coconut shrimp and calamari...it was was all very good, and the oysters were super fresh. We also had a delightful waiter, Anthony! Looking forward to visiting again. read more

When we first walked in the hostess immediately gave us attitude when she sat us. She got us bread and water and told us about the specials but it seemed like she was forced to be at work and didn't wanna be there. We almost wanted to leave but decided to stay cuz we were hungry. Our server however was amazing and super nice and sweet. He gave us a lot of recommendations which was really nice of him! We were relieved that not everyone here has attitude. Maybe the hostess was just having a bad day. read more

Went to FishBar again recently. OMG 10 stars for the food. We had one of the fish sandwiches, ahi salad, spinach, lemonade, and bread pudding with ice cream. Everything was perfect! I'm very picky and usually there's something off even in a very good restaurant. Not here. Lemonade was obviously homemade and perfect. Sandwich was amazing, ahi excellent and the dressing complimented it to the nth degree. Bread pudding, well we're not in New Orleans, but it was really good especially with the ice cream. Thank you so much for a perfect night out with the fiancée. Oh and prices are reasonable too. I would've stopped to tell the manager that night but we were in a bit of a rush to get home. Thx! read more

We used Yelp to find this gem. We had a party of 8 that they were able to squeeze in. Service was spot on- John was great and very attentive but the support team was also all over it. The sushi options were fresh and tasty. Fish and chips were fresh, crispy and had a great flavor. We all ordered something different and everything was delicious. Will definitely stop in again when we are in the area. read more

Love the fish bar! great food & customer service, always friendly people and delicious chowder.

Food was incredible. $18 mimosa service?! Yes please. Hostess seated us immediately and our waitress provided prompt service. We got the Lobster and Waffles, and the Crab Cake Benedict. Totally worth the walk over since parking was not the easiest to find on a Sunday. Will be back read more

This is beautiful restaurant right by the beach! Came here for a co workers birthday lunch and was immediately seated. They give you bread and butter to start. I ordered the fish tacos (one fried one Cajun style) it came with rice. The food was delicious! I would return to try the other options. They have daily specials which are nice. Parking is street or lot by the meters! read more

FishBar - Seafood Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

My boyfriend and I have been to this place many times and we have always had a good eating experience. We haven't been here since Covid but we were excited to come back and eat again. I'm not sure if Covid brought changes to the restaurant or maybe they are having issues finding a good chef, but our experience this time was very poor and we will not be returning. To start off when we walked up to the restaurant my boyfriend and I did not have a mask.. we are still use to not having to wear a mask since they dropped the mask mandate so we totally forgot to bring one with us (our bad !) The host at the front was VERY COLD she asked us if we had a mask and we told her we forgot ours but kindly asked if they had any extras they could let us use. She barely said two words to us and looked like she was very upset that she had to give us a mask to seat us. ( it also looked like she wouldn't have seated us at all without one) Once we sat down we noticed that she personally sat multiple other LARGER parties that weren't wearing masks at all, walking in the restaurant. ...so my boyfriend and I were super confused on why she acted that way with us at the front. The food was very mediocre this time around. We both ordered the clam chowder and it was flavorless and extremely chunky. The salmon that I had was very salty and the sides I got with it were the Brussels sprouts which was coated with a white creamy substance that I couldn't put my finger on what it was and it tasted very slimy. The mashed potatoes were flavorless but that helped I guess because it balanced out the salty ness of the salmon. My boyfriend ordered the scallops, which were extremely undercooked, steamed broccoli and a side of Mac and cheese which was pretty much just pasta with Melted shredded cheese -flavorless and bland. I will say that the two waiters that we had were very sweet and helpful. But I will chalk the bad experience up to the woman host at the front and whoever is cooking now in the back. read more

Stopped in here for lunch and the food was OK, nothing special, the décor needs lots of work, there was a big black plastic tarp hanging in one corner, the walls were poorly covered with burlap and there were electrical boxes sticking out of the bamboo beams, very poorly designed and executed interior design. Another issue was the door is kept open and we were bothered by flies out whole meal. Staff was friendly and efficient On to the food, nothing special ordered the lunch special Shrimp and Scallop skewer with clam chowder and a small salad. $12.00, not bad price but you get one skewer with 3 shrimp and 2 scallops so if you are hungry then you might want to opt for something else. Clam chowder was rich and creamy but the clams were few and far between. Parking is across the street in the public pay parking lot so if that is full you may have some issues with parking. Overall an Ok experience but not something that I absolutely need to repeat. read more

Great spot for fish tacos and chilling with friends... great service... good drinks. Stop by after lovely day at the beach... and enjoy

Taste: 4 Creativity/Authenticity: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Service: 4 Bang for your buck: 3 Man why does this place have to be so far!! Ahh I'm so sad that I have to drive 1hr just to have some amazing food. Where do I start, start with the lobster, truffle mac and cheese, than go for some crispy asparagus, than some oysters in a half shell and last crispy calamari. Now get some drinks and head to the beach. Atmosphere is great, amazing service and super hot waitresses. Overall I will be back when I'm in the area of course keep up the great food and service read more
