I was excited to try this French bakery for the first time, but unfortunately it was a…read moredisappointment. We stopped by this morning, and the pastries we ordered were not fresh at all. They tasted stale, which was surprising for a French bakery. We also ordered the chicken sandwich, and it wasn't good either. It had only a very thin slice of chicken and lacked flavor, making it feel overpriced for what we received. The only positive was that the service was decent and the staff were polite. Unfortunately, the food didn't meet our expectations. This was my first visit, and sadly, it will also be my last.

We decided to visit Riviera village after a relaxing morning stroll through Torrance Beach. Since…read moreit was almost noon, we searched on Yelp and decided to have some crepes for lunch. The restaurant has inside seating for 40 guests and outside for 30. We arrived between breakfast and lunchtime and were able to get the last outside table. The attentive staff got us seated right away, and after browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items (arrived in 15 minutes) : Marine: The buckwheat outer layer was soft, not soggy, and with nice resistance. The light creamy tomato-based dressing with sliced mushrooms was pleasantly flavorful. Both shrimp and scallops were of good size, fresh and juicy. Fromage: Like Marine Crepe, the buckwheat out layer was soft. The mild brie cheese provided pleasant creaminess to the filling. Seasoned bacon, scrambled egg, onion, and mushroom added nice savoriness to the dish. The portions were sensible and the prices were reasonable. Very nice culinary experience.

Been coming here a few times a month over the past 3 years, always loved it…read more But recently it really became subpar... First the food size is becoming ridiculous (au gratin potatoes so small) The service is where I'm shocked, the waiting staff turnover is crazy. I was there last Sunday evening (05/24) and one of the waiter with a French accent looks like he just started that day, he was clueless about the menu, didn't know what was the soup of the day, and very inattentive to our table (water refill, empty plates...) like he just wanted our tips ! Also I'm sorry about that one but he had a foul smell like he just finished working out... the table next to us was saying the same thing. I came back on Friday (05/29)early afternoon and seen the same waiter still no refill and same foul smell Im going to try their other locations in PV or Hermosa and see if I'm lucky and they're like that location used to be

My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at Sea Level Restaurant & Lounge, and it was…read moreeverything we hoped for and more. From the incredible waterfront views to the amazing food and outstanding service, it made for the perfect date night. We started with the clam chowder and crab cakes, which were both fantastic. For our entrées, we had the Linguini Del Mar and the Petite Filet (added a side of peppercorn sauce), and every single bite was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The highlight of the evening, though, was our server, Greg. He made us feel completely at home from the moment we sat down. His recommendations were spot on, he was attentive without ever being intrusive, and when my girlfriend got a little chilly on the patio, he even brought her a blanket without us having to ask. It's those thoughtful little touches that truly elevate an experience. As the sun began setting over the marina, Alison Brecht performed live acoustic music that created the most romantic atmosphere. She even took a couple requests, including mine and my girlfriend's favorite songs. Sitting outside by the fire table, enjoying an incredible meal while listening to live music and watching the boats in the harbor, felt like something out of a movie. It was the perfect backdrop for celebrating our anniversary. Sea Level exceeded every expectation we had. Between the outstanding food, exceptional service from Greg, beautiful waterfront views, and Alison Brecht's wonderful performance, this was one of the most memorable date nights we've had. We can't wait to celebrate here again. We will most definitely be back soon and could not recommend this lovely restaurant more if you're in the area !

And that brings it pretty much to the point: they do not care. Would I go again: probably not.

I had the Tinga Flautas, perfectly crunchy, moist inside and full of flavor. We also tried the birria grilled cheese and the buñuelos with ice cream and that was just okay. Happy hour is solid- the $15 mimosa pitcher was enough for at least 4 people, and they offer guava and other juice options. The ambiance is really nice too, we had a table with a beach view, which must be gorgeous at sunset. They have couches that face the beach, it's definitely a nice spot to, imagine lounging on the couch with a drink in hand. Overall great service and vibes. I'll definitely e back!

Food: It was hit or miss on the items we ordered. Drinks: Watermelon Margarita (5 star) came with a chunk of watermelon and it was tasty. The Chain Smoker (4 star) was Smokey but I should have swirled it to get all the smoke infused. Starters: Great complimentary chips and salsa (5 star). The Guacamole was very tasty but there was not a lot of it with the order (4 star). The Corn ribs were really good with a nice BBQ sauce (5 star). Mains: The Chile Relleno Burrito with birria was substantial and filling but I was adding salsa to get the flavor boost (4 star). The Cal Mex Fries with pork belly were "bag fries" but had good toppings (3 star). There is a happy hour Monday to Thursday and I think I will come back to try that. Service: Good service for a week night and we had a very nice waitress. They do a service surcharge that you can ask to have removed and they let you know up front about it. Atmosphere: Well designed restaurant decor and the views are top notch (even at night). You can have Tex-Mex on the beach. Win-win. Bathroom was serviced and clean.

If you're lucky enough to stop by when Dave is behind the bar, you're in for a real treat. He's an exceptional bartender who genuinely cares about every detail. From making sure your food comes out just right to serving your drink at the perfect temperature, he goes out of his way to ensure everything is exactly as it should be. That level of attention is rare these days. And make sure to say hello to Amber while you're there. She's incredibly friendly, welcoming, and one of those people who makes every visit a little more enjoyable. She always has a smile and makes the trip worth it. We're fortunate to have a place like this so close to home. Great food, outstanding service, and a team that truly cares keep us coming back week after week.

Was just there today to catch up with an old friend who loved visiting here…read more It was a great day in Redondo ended by an odd interaction here that left a bad taste in my memory and I won't be returning. After two nice spritz's I attempted to use the restroom only to be stopped by a server. She asked what I was trying to do and when I said simply use the restroom, she replied, "no it's for customers only." It was odd because we just spent nearly $70 there right next to where she was working, dressed like all the other beach goers that day. She said "oh" and let me go with no kindness or apology. No clue how I was identified, and it felt very profiled. But just left me feeling weird and not like I want to go back there or recommend it to anyone. In summary: Drinks and food was fine. One staff member was great. The vibe that server gave me ruined my day.
