    1, Ambiance All dining is outside under a covered awning. Across the street Super mellow lunada bay. Across the street from a pocket park. Plenty of parking Watch the exotic sports cars roll by as you listen to the r&b 2- service Order at the counter but table delivery. It's PV, everyone is friendly 3- food The meat lovers omelet is the way to go! It's huge! You will be filled with meaty goodness The fish tacos are a bit on the small side. Very good though. But I sort of was left wanting more

    I will start by noting the really great service by kind and helpful young women! The young lady who took our order was helpful and patient. The servers were kind and helpful- offering items before we requested them. Good service is so rare these days it's certainly worth noting!! The food was good/fine. We got the steak and eggs (nothing special- 8/10) the grilled fish tacos (also simple and straight forward. Supposedly mango pico salsa but was just regular pico. But cooked well. 8/10) and two kids meals. Also fine. The French fries were really yummy- on the thicker side but not dry! But the bakery case and pastries were 10/10! The case looked straight out of a movie! Classic baked goods done well and also some interesting takes on classics- a super chunky choc peanut butter cup cookie and a pb&j bar. The lemon bar was one of the best in the Southbay!

    Lunada Kitchen is adjacent to Lunada Market. There's the market and then there's the restaurant. It's fairly new, and I didn't even notice when it opened. It's predominantly outdoor, covered seating with overhead heaters. There are a handful of stool seating indoors. I've come here twice thus far. You order and pay at the counter. They give you a number, and you seat yourself. The first time I came here, I ordered the fruit waffle. They were out of strawberries, and let me know, but because there were blueberries cooked in the waffles, there were plenty of berries. It was crisp and delicious. On my second visit, I ordered the breakfast burrito, vegetarian, no meat. It comes with a side of tortilla chips with a dollop of guacamole and salsa. It's mostly filled with potatoes, so it's very filling, but tasty. I like to order the oat milk latte. Even if you're dining in, it's served in a paper cup. I like the modern atmosphere, with the wall of mirrors. So far, all the food has been delicious. The bakery items look really good, too. Staff are friendly and efficient. Parking: Free, shared lot.

    Luanda Kitchen is this great café located right off of Palos Verdes Drive West in PV. What they offer is a really interesting collection of not only great bakery items, if you want to get something on the go, or fully prepared breakfast and lunch dishes. The food here is really well prepared and it's very good. They also offer all of the drinks one would expect: coffees, lattes, soft drinks, waters, and the like. This place has outdoor seating. They have a large patio space with a number of table. So, as long as the weather is good, this is a fun place to sit back and enjoy your food or drink. The way this place works is that you go inside to order. The staff here are happy to bring out some water to your table if your plan to sit back and enjoy the air. Overall, the staff here are all very good, very helpful, and very nice. The one thing I will say about this restaurant that I would prefer that he did a different way is that if you're actually going to enjoy your meal at one of their outdoor tables, they provide all of their customers with drinks in a paper travel cup. I don't know? That just kind of takes the whole vibe of enjoying a tasty latte away from the drinking experience. I really believe they should provide their customers that are eating at the restaurant with their drinks in a mug. But, that's just me. Overall, this café is a great addition to PV. Great place to grab a snack, a meal, a drink, and/or to sit back and enjoy the day.

    Cafe Mocha
    Charne I.

    I love love love the cafe! Hannah and Diane hooked me up with what exactly I had a taste for. It's not on the menu, but I wanted a cafe mocha to get through the day and they were both so kind and made it happen. I come in once a week for this delicious pick me up. They also have a cute outside terrace where you can sit and eat and drink. Im looking forward to trying the food. I'm so happy I found this place and you will be too!

    Ahi tuna tartar
    Paulette D.

    This place is a cute spot in Palos Verdes. You order at a counter and they deliver the food to your later. It was pretty quick service. The ahi tuna tartar was delicious and the sauce was the best! Just wish there was more wonton crisps. The kid's hot dog was bigger than we thought for a kid's size. It was a nice and pleasant surprise :) the fries were nice and crispy. The sparkling waters were interesting...it didn't taste like the flavor really and the ginger sparkling didn't even have ginger listed in the ingredients

    The food was great! No complaints there. The service however, was absurd! Actually, non-existent…read more The table next to us literally had to go to the bar and retrieve their own drinks. No one checked on us, it took way too long to get served and when we finally did, it was with an attitude. Our appetizer order was also forgotten. The restaurant had only 2 tables of guests, including us. Shocking for a Saturday night. So the excuse of being busy isn't going to fly here. We will not be back. Although I enjoyed the food, being ignored and treated like crap doesn't make it worth it. If you want decent food, excellent service by the sea, I'd recommend going to Redondo Beach or Hermosa Beach. ANYWHERE but here!

And after a number of years patroning the Four Season's Beverly Hills brunch on Doheny I wanted to try something new. There's not many decadent, birthday worthy brunch options in our post Covid world. So when I found this one, read the menu and saw the price point I was ALL in. And my goodness it blew last year at the four seasons away by a lot!!! (They dipped significantly after Covid - not the same value). The Trump had EVERYTHING you could want in a brunch. Sushi, free flowing champagne, prime rib, crepes, crab, waffles, eggs Benedict, pancakes, chocolate dipped fruit, breads, bagels, cheeses, salad, Korean short ribs, shrimp, shrimp scampi, pasta, omelettes, oysters, fruit & figs, and sausage & bacob. I know for a fact I am missing offerings. It was world class, A+ with live music and wonderful service. The views of the pacific were gorgeous on our blustery day. My goodness it was so pretty. We were not rushed at all. It wasn't cramped or crowded. I loved it! And I'd definitely make this a recurring birthday treat for him. It was absolutely worth it.

The Spanish Latte was a standout and easily the best part of the meal. The Food: Unfortunately, the food itself was mediocre. The Brioche French Toast was fine, but the Pastrami Sandwich was overwhelmingly salty. Menu Transparency Issue: Most concerning was the California Omelette. It arrived with bacon inside, which was not listed on the online menu I checked beforehand. As someone who strictly avoids bacon for religious reasons, this was a major disappointment and a serious oversight in online menu labeling. Paper menu mentioned it. Bottom Line: Come for the aesthetic and the coffee, but be very cautious with the food and double-check ingredients with the staff if you have any dietary restrictions.

At many brunch restaurants, you can sometimes sense when the basics -- like pancakes or French toast -- aren't given the attention they deserve. They may look appealing on the menu but feel rushed or underwhelming when served. Here, however, the fundamentals are done right. There's care in the texture, balance, and execution, and that consistency makes all the difference. Weekend mornings often find us slightly sleepy and very hungry, searching for somewhere comforting to begin the day. What we want is warmth and familiarity -- something that feels almost as cozy as staying in bed. And when the craving for sweet carbohydrates hits, we're not looking for restraint. We're looking for soft, fluffy, fully satisfying bites. If that's what you're after, this location delivers. You'll likely leave in a better mood than when you arrived.

I liked the toasted brown spots on the outside of the burrito. The tiramisu pancakes weren't soggy from the soaked coffee/espresso. It had chunks of torn lady fingers on top. The interior inside is bright and fun with lots of decor items like roosters and "eat good"-type signage. They had TVs inside too but they weren't playing anything on them. The service was prompt and we got seated immediately when we came on a Monday. The bad: The blueberry lavender matcha was $8 and was too sweet. I don't think there was outside seating options. The burrito could have used more pico de gallo. It was a good burrito but not outstanding or something I'd order again. The interesting: They sell lots of drink options and lemonades from a different vendor (?) inside. They even had a mangonada!
