I Came in for Easter brunch on Sunday. We were in a private room that was beautifully decorated. I really enjoyed our experience because it felt private and was not over crowded or loud. Our server Jessica exceeded our expectations. She was so lovely and made us feel very special. She was very attentive and treated us so well. She commended I try the prime rib and that was an absolute great suggestion. It was so juicy and flavorful. I look forward to coming back. read more

Dave and I went to this fabulous restaurant to celebrate his birthday! We were seated almost immediately in the back of the bar on a stairstep table we actually sat on the same side to see the bar the door and activity. It was great! Daniel was our waiter stupendous! Awesome!!! Ask for him.the food was way above our expectations as was the varied menu! Dave enjoyed the Surf n Turf dinner. He showed his driver's license to the Manager. Yay!!!! Gorgeous presentation. He loved it! I loved my brussel sprouts Oh my g!!! And my burger and hot hot fries. Yummy. Such a great experience. Go early...430pmish Monday thru Friday. Yummy!!!!! Thank you HTGrill. Daniel you deserved it! ($$$) you were awesome!!! read more

Our dining experience began with a friendly valet attendant greeting us with sincere wishes for a good meal. A gracious host welcomed us and promptly found our reservation and seated us. We opted for the bar area because it looked eclectic and buzzing. Not loud, just humming. Within moments of being seated, Ashley welcomed us then went for water while we read the cocktail menu. She took our choice of beverages then returned a few minutes later with our drinks. We weren't rushed to order food, but if you were in a hurry that offer was extended. When we'd enjoyed about half of our drinks, Ashley popped back and took our dinner order. Both of our dishes arrived in a timely manner. They were excellent! The Ahi tuna salad was almost buttery. My Chicken Parmesan was moist, flavorful and had a very nice crunch. Instead of dessert, which we were to full to consider, after dinner drinks seemed appropriate...and they were. If you're looking for a nice date night meal, this place fits the bill. Cheers! read more

HT Grill has always been a great place to eat for me & the family. Today as just terrible. We sat and were given our menus. 2 brunch and 2 regular menus. When we ordered we were informed it's only the brunch menu available. So we pivoted and ordered. My brother ordered a hamburger requesting med-rare. Our food trickled out 1 at a time with burger coming last. You could see when it arrived that it was burnt around the outside. My brother opened the burger and hamburger was way well done. Asked the server to return for new one. 10+ minutes later, Taya the GM trotted out the original burger and asked my brother what was wrong with it. He told her the problem, Taya the told him to cut it in half so she could see. WTF?!? It was embarrassing, even other tables looked over. What happened to CUSTOMER SERVICE TAYA??? We waited another 10+ minutes for him to get his replacement meal. In the meantime, we were almost done before his new burger arrived. And shocker, this one didn't come out right either. We told server to return and take off the menu. I had also order pancakes which Never came so told server to make sure those were off the menu as well. Completely disappointed with this place. Will Not Be Returning Ever. read more

Everything was nice. Food, ambiance. I just wish the server had more wherewithal. She did not ask my semi non-verbal child if she heard him correctly so missed his lemonade order. She saw he was crying when his brother got a drink and he didn't. She knew it was her inaction and offered to bring another lemonade. She kept apologizing for making him cry. ...Yet she charged us for the lemonade. :/ He was upset. We were not thrilled. A simple: Did I hear you correctly? Just to make sure, etc. would have been helpful read more

First time at HT grill. Came for a birthday dinner. Great location in Riviera Village. Very busy on a Saturday evening. We sat inside, and it was loud. We sat right near the bar area, and it was very lively there. Food was very good - the Margherita pizza, piccata chicken, surf and turf (free for birthday person - must show ID), and wagyu burger were outstanding. Staff was friendly. Good for a group, and festive atmosphere. Reasonable valet parking. read more

Ended up here for a friend's birthday. Brunch. And it was a good experience. Parked Valet. I didn't want to do laps in the area looking for street parking. It was easy enough and I don't remember exactly how much, but it was single digit. Call and ask or find out if/when you go. I don't know the restrictions for street parking. You're on your own there. Walked in shortly after opening. Asked to sit at the bar as I had arrived on Ran time. Means early for those of you who don't know me. Had a cocktail at the bar - bartender ended up being our server as well. Nice guy. Attentive. Friendly. Don't know why he would be assigned tables outside while watching the bar. Wasn't an issue as it wasn't busy. Towards the end though ... Food was good. I went for an omelet. See pics. Wasn't spicy but remedied it with hot sauce. I wasn't expecting the portion size - pics are deceiving. I couldn't finish the side potatoes. I did have room for a second cocktail though. The bartender/server made some really nicely balanced drinks. Not too boozy but not watered down either. I'd go back there just for drinks alone. Overall it was a chill mellow experience. One that I'd repeat but the next time I'd opt to sit inside. Or sit outside again but around the firepit in the evening. read more

Another amazing night at HT Grill! Came in to celebrate my mom's 80th Birthday and HT never disappoints! The service was excellent, fast and accurate, where a team effort showed. The ambiance is always great (especially on live music nights). Tonight there was no live music but the restaurant was as buzzing with birthday parties. The drink selection is filled with excellent wines and spirits, full bar service here! The menu selections are also excellent with good price points for all and excellent tastes! We started off with appetizers of Shrimp & Callamari served with an amazing chipotle dipping sauce as well as a seafood cocktail sauce and a juice lemon wedge to accompany the dish. I chose the Chicken Piccata this evening and it was quite delightful! Served with perfectly crispy finger potato and asparagus! I paired it with a wonderful Willis Hill Chardonnay. And ended the night with a Banana Bread Pudding which was also excellent! Absolutely love HT Grill and their menu! read more

Perfect place for an afternoon beach walk & lunch that leads into happy hour! They have Tini Tuesdays for $10, my favs are the HT Classic and Espresso Martinis. Every birthday we take friends because you get a free steak and lobster entree if it's the exact day, how can you beat that deal! They have a good happy hour too, we love the hummus plate and chicken gyoza. I always sit on the patio and the staff is accommodating with the fire pits and heaters when it gets a little chilly. The service is quick, and the vibes are cozy. I have fond memories throughout the years from Thanksgiving dinner to the starting point to all the holiday strolls. Great stop when I want that South Bay home town feel. read more

It was my friend's birthday so we went for the free surf and turf. Early reservation at 6pm and we're seated right away. Unfortunately we sat for 10 minutes and had to ask the hostess who was nearby for our server. Then two people came so I assumed one was in training. After that we had service. Friend loved her surf and turf. My salad and crab cakes were good. Hubby liked the streaks of balsamic vinegar on the pizza. Ordered chocolate chip cookies for dessert which were warm. Free birthday dinner is a great deal. Not sure if I want to return as nothing I tried was outstanding. read more

First off, this review will probably end up hidden under "other reviews that are not currently recommended." Yelp isn't fair about when you leave an honest review & will either delete this review or hide because this is no longer an honest site due to their cherry picking. We went here for my birthday for the Turf n Surf which was great. It was the perfect amount for me but if you eat a lot you might need two of them. The lobster & steak was good along with being cooked right. Even the veggies were tasty. The service was really good too. Our waitress was friendly & attentive to our needs. As it got crowded, it got a little loud especially with one woman who couldn't stop talking. After she left it was much better. We will definitely go back next year for my birthday. read more

I've lived in Redondo forever, and somehow this was my first time at HT Grill. Went on a Friday night, grabbed a spot in the bar area, and got treated to some great live music right off the bat. The drinks were on point and the espresso martini especially was next‑level. I ordered the surf and turf, and it was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Between the food, the service, and the music, this place pretty much checks every box. read more

I've had a love, and less than love relationship with this restaurant. I've posted the good and the less than good. I dined this time on my birthday. The restaurant goes out of its way to make an actual birthdays really special. I brought along my ID expecting having to prove my birthday but the waiter took my word for it. I started with the house salad which was pretty large for the price. Their house dressing is really good and got the meal off to a good start. My main course was the Surf and Turf. I honestly thought it was Surf "OR" Turf and was pleased to know both were included. The lobster was large and cooked perfectly. It was removed from the shell before broiling and not only looked seriously appetizing but also tasted great. It was tender and served at the right temperature. The filet steak was medium rare, just as I ordered. It was as tender and flavorful as similar steaks at high end restaurants. It didn't need any seasoning as its rich flavors were downright mouth watering great. My guest enjoyed the Beef Birria Tacos filed with braised short ribs. It was the first time he tried this dish and he really loved it. And it was presented really well and looked great. This was an excellent experience. Our waiter was attentive and very friendly. He was accurate and our meal was definitely not rushed. I appreciated his attention to making us feel welcome and appreciated. read more

Great food and open a bit later than others in the area... this was the restaurant spot to hit on a Thursday. when others were already shutting down this spot was hopping. great steak, great seafood, and we enjoyed the apps and drinks. service was really attentive and the bar scene was fun read more

I had a great time here. Went to celebrate my mom's birthday and they gave her a free surf & turf entree. It was great! You will need to show ID to prove that it is your birthday. The catch? You have to go on your birthday. No exceptions. I ordered the fish & chips. It wasn't bad. Was it the best? Not necessarily, but I did enjoy it. The ambiance was nice. They had a spacious outdoor patio, a banquet room, and a spacious dining area. It was a great experience and you're right next to the beach. My only complaint is the parking. The do offer valet for $7. If not, there's metered parking. Restaurant is within walking distance of Trader Joe's. read more

HT Grill was great! Came here for the birthday special (if you know you know!) to treat my dad. We shared an order of calamari/fried shrimp and it was super tasty! I ordered the branzino and it was fantastic. The mashed potatoes were yummy and the sauce really makes the dish so good. Portion size was large and prices are not too crazy. Definitely a fancier sit down dinner spot, but great for celebrations or a nice dinner with friends or family. Service was great and timely. Parking is a little tough, but it's like that in the riviera. Meters or park on the beach side streets and enjoy a nice stroll. Would definitely go back! read more

HT Grill - Monday's Wine Pairing - New American Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

HT Grill truly feels like a Redondo Beach staple. Love the ambiance of the outdoor area!! But also really appreciate the coziness of the restaurant interior. We went for their Monday night chef special prix fixe dinner which is an INSANE deal at $29 per person. You get an appetizer, main course, and dessert. Each week they have a different menu, so it's also like a fun weekly surprise. Our appetizer was a delicious tuna crudo with blood oranges. Incredibly refreshing, such a summery dish. Our entree was seabass in a savory, creamy sauce. The fish was cooked to perfection. We finished the meal with a sweet, but light banana cream pudding. Loved the sliced banana with vanilla pudding and wafers. The food at HT Grill is simple, but delicious. What really stood out to me was the exceptional service. I can't tell you how many times our server checked in on us to ensure that the meal was going well. What an exceptional establishment! Will most definitely be back. read more

My first review was shortly after things reopened from Covid. So maybe a bit harsh given the possibility it was difficult to find staff. Since then I have celebrated my birthday three years running. You cannot beat the free surf and turf. It's the best dish on the menu. And we often meet on Friday's for happy hour. Drinks are good, and the menu is decent. And if you're a single person good spot to meet classier people. Some nights they have live music. Weekends draws a good crowd. Happy hour is usually packed. read more

Came here for the free birthday surf and turf. Did street parking not too far away. Didn't take long to be seated. Place was nice and lively, and busy for a Wednesday afternoon. Tried a couple of different items: meatload, steak frites, and filet au poivre. The food came out pretty quickly. All the meats were cooked well and had nice flavor. The asparagus for one of the sides wasn't great. The fries were really good. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Good deal. Good food. Definitely will come back again. read more

Had an absolutely fabulous birthday dinner at HT Grill, and oh boy, it was a vibe! Picture this: cozy elegance with a dash of rustic charm. Indoor or outdoor seating to match your mood. A lively bar with the World Series on screen if you're into that kind of cheer. The service? Top-notch and friendly as can be. The food? Let's just say my taste buds did a happy dance and every plate was as gorgeous as it was delicious. Plus, there's a little birthday magic in the air if you go on your special day. Trust me, it's a treat you don't want to miss. Long story short: can't recommend HT Grill enough for a birthday bash or any great dinner out. read more

HT Grill - A majestic surf & turf that I won't soon forget! - New American Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Had the BEST birthday dinner at H.T. Grill! You get a FREE surf & turf (steak & lobster) on your birthday -- such an amazing deal and absolutely worth it. The servers were very nice and friendly, and the whole experience felt welcoming from start to finish. The vibe is great both indoors and outdoors, so you can choose whichever atmosphere you prefer. Parking tip: You might want to park on Ave I and walk about 2 minutes -- super easy! Don't forget to bring your ID to confirm your birthday. Honestly, this is the best birthday dinner deal. Highly recommend -- must go! read more

Free surf n turf on your birthday! Exact birthday (they check ID) and after 4pm - those are the only strings! The lobster and the accompanying sides were delicious, the beef felt a little tough for me. S got their short rib and enjoyed that too but we both agreed that the lobster was the star. I made reservations easily on OpenTable. We sat on the outdoor patio since it was a nice day but beware of the skeeters! Service was friendly and I appreciated that it was pretty low key (as in, the staff doesn't come around to sing happy birthday or anything to make it a spectacle). It seems like they have a lot of regular dinner patrons, not just people here to imbibe on their birthday deal (Catalina Kitchen at the Terranea used to do something like this too...except everyone eating was also celebrating a birthday). The restaurant is also walking distance to the beach so we enjoyed a post dinner walk. Parking: we parked on the street a couple of blocks away read more

Came for my surf and turf birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. There were 6 of us (3 adults and 3 kids) and we had a fun time sitting on the patio. There was a heater right by us and so it was very nice to sit outside and watch people walk by. The surf and turf was so delicious. My son took a bite and said he was coming here for his birthday lol. Staff and the manager came by to wish me a happy birthday and couldn't have been more polite and friendly. I've come here several times now and always the same consistent pleasant experience. They have good happy hour from 4-7pm weekdays and food is always on point. My go to spot for a week night happy hour! read more

We used to come here at least once a week - but lately with food quality has gone down a bit, guess why they need to make their drinks so strong, but the real disappointment is the service is terrible. Long waits for simple requests ( like water) and the servers don't seem to know the menu at all. Excuses for why item came out completely wrong and no sense of urgency to fix problem. I don't think we will be back anytime soon - plenty of other restaurants in the area. read more

I just read my review two years ago and am happy to update! My Mom and I had dinner here on Monday and was blessed to have Kai as our server (he usually bartends). What a treat! We are a restaurant family and are very aware of service, the temperature of food when it hits the table, etc. From every aspect, HT Grill was excellent, but the service Kai provided was beyond exemplary! (Apologies if his name is misspelled!) He asked and remembered our names, spent just enough time to chat (without hurting the service of other tables), checked on us at appropriate times (including asking if the temp of my steak was what I had hoped) and made sure we had what we needed throughout the meal. His timing was impeccable and charisma was stellar. The food was on point. We started with calamari and shrimp and the cauliflower appetizer. Delicious!! I had steak and lobster and both were cooked very well. Mom had the salmon and was very pleased with it. We were stuffed so we skipped dessert, but are looking forward to a return visit soon. I would be remiss if I didn't mention we also met Nick, the manager. Really nice man and also charismatic. What a great experience!!! read more

HT Grill - Steak and lobster - New American Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

This would be a 1 or 2 but I have generally had great service and experience. So here is the good. The Mac and Cheese is great. Food has always been great. The place is great to sit outside and enjoy. So hopefully this is just a one and done situation. Bad. Today I came in with one other and we ordered Mac and Cheese, a chicken sandwhich and a burger. The place wasn't crowded. Well it took over 40 minutes to get our meal. We did get our Mac appetizer and then we never saw our for 24 minutes after the appetizer. The burger was wrong but since we knew how long the wait was going to be she just ate it. The problem is the only time we saw server was when she brought our food. The other server (not bus boy) filled our water. So we didn't even have a chance to have them refire the burger anyways. Hope it gets better as I am a 20% plus tipper but this service does not warrant that tip. And this is where the tipping culture and how servers think is a problem. I will say the other server fought us our check and took the wrong burger off the bill so it was at least done correctly. And there was. In confrontation or anger. Just told him burger was wrong and we didn't see anyone to be able to fix it. He still offered to fix it. So again hoping our server was just having an off day. Time will tell! read more

Most of our visits here were a 5 rating...except for last Sunday around 11am. Coffee was served cold, had to wait. Food consisting of eggs, bacon, sausage and potatoes were served cold, had to wait. Had to ask twice for water and salt and pepper. Place was not that busy. Once everything was heated and brought to the table, everything was good. We will be back, this could have been one bad time. read more

Not only is this one of our very favorite spots on the planet, the food is becoming better and better every day thanks to the chef, Eddie! We went in the day before Saint Paddy's day and had their corned beef prefix menu. The corned beef was delicious and the carrots were cooked perfectly with lots of flavor, but my favorite part was the lamb stew! It was a clear broth absolutely delicious and reduced to perfection! This place never fails our expectations! We will forever be regular patrons there ...and thank you again to the chef for making our meals exemplary of what delicious dining should be! read more

We've been to HT Grill for drinks and always enjoyed it, so we came for dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday and try their birthday promotion. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. It took about 15 minutes for our server, Krystal, to greet us, and although we mentioned the birthday, there was no acknowledgment. After ordering, another 15 minutes passed without waters, beverages, or even place settings. Our appetizer arrived, but I had to go inside to request napkins and silverware, and it began to feel like we were forgotten. Our server never checked back in, we weren't offered additional drinks, and our glasses stayed empty. After finishing, we waited 20 minutes to get the bill, and when it was dropped off, she walked away before I could hand my card. After another 10 minutes, I had to go inside again to complete payment. I understand things can get busy, but the restaurant didn't seem overwhelmed. For a birthday dinner, we expected at least basic attentiveness or an apology, neither of which we received. Overall, a frustrating experience. read more

The service was extremely slow for a light crowd at lunchtime. There were four adults and 2 children (4 & 8). Our daughter and son-in- law come for dinner all the time and rave about it. Unfortunately, we will not be returning for brunch as the food was just okay in our opinion and the four year old's child's pizza took over an hour and a half to come and ended up boxed to go as everyone else had finished their meals at least 15 minutes before. The 8 year old had the best meal of a half pound burger. My husband and I each had a French onion soup which was nothing special and then we shared their CBLAT sandwich with fries. It was okay but again nothing special. Our daughter had the Cobb salad which she said was a normal salad. Can't remember what our son in law had but he wasn't impressed either. Our whole party will limit ourselves to dinner time in the future which numerous people we know have raved about. It was a first time for my husband and me but we will try a dinner sometime. read more
