Consistently a great dining experience! I hadn't stopped in here for many months and I'm so happy I did last night. As per usual, the food and drinks were delicious. We had the famous cheddar/bacon biscuits, scallops, baby gem lettuce salad and short ribs. Each dish was spot on. The highlight were the short ribs, very tender and seasoned to perfection. We will be back sooner rather than later! Sit at the bar, the bartenders are super friendly and don't mind giving samples of signature beverages! read more

Had a late brunch here today. It was a good time to come - 2 pm. Not very busy. The place can get loud. We had really good service. We had a very light meal but everything was good. My friend had the biscuits - she wanted them to be more flaky, but the flavors were great! We also had the pumpkin coffee cake which was delish! The green beans and crudo were also very good. The only thing about the crudo was it was a little thicker than I like - still tasted good with pomegranates. Maybe more seasonal items. There's lots of parking within a short walk. Not as easy over the summertime. read more

My group love love loved this place! We came for brunch and had the Bacon Cheddar Biscuits, Skirt Steak, and Crispy Caramel Brussel Sprouts. Everything was phenomenal and oh so flavorful. Great for sharing and much more filling than it looks. I'd recommend everything we had, and then some. Yes, prices are a bit high, but in-line with expectations for the neighborhood and the quality. Service was efficient, courteous and very much appreciated. I will definitely be back for dinner. I can see why this place is a hit for locals, and should be on every tourist's list. Those biscuits are worth a trip, alone! There's street parking all around and a parking garage nearby. Be sure to check your parking meters. read more

We had a really positive experience with the service from the moment we walked in--friendly, attentive, and consistent throughout the meal, which definitely stood out and made us feel welcome. That said, the food didn't quite live up to the same standard. I initially wanted a breakfast burrito but was told it couldn't be customized since the filling is pre-prepared the day before, which was a bit disappointing. I ended up ordering the traditional breakfast instead. Unfortunately, the potatoes tasted like they had been cooked earlier and reheated, and the bacon was overwhelmingly salty. We also tried the specialty bacon cheddar biscuits, which were a letdown--very dry and hard. We ordered two servings but left one untouched because they just weren't enjoyable. Overall, we'd rate this experience 4 stars largely because of the excellent service. We'd be open to coming back to try the dinner menu, but we'll likely skip breakfast or brunch next time. read more

MB Post can best described as a casual fine dining place with an intimate ambiance. After 12+ years, they are doing even better with food, drink, and an updated look. Chef Lefreve continues his passion for fine dining and doesn't disappoint. The menu is balanced with excellent dishes from skirt steaks to heritage pork. Side dishes are hearty and offer creative takes on flavors and textures with seasonal flair. The ambiance also offers a nice, casual atmosphere with a stocked bar that doubles for dining. The staff are well-versed and very attentive. Whether you're dining alone or entertaining MB Post has always been an excellent choice. Of course, dishes are made and best be shared. read more

It's sad to see this once great restaurant fall so far. I used to love it. The food is still very tasty and creative. The problem is that the service is so painfully poor for this level of a restaurant that it really blows the whole deal. The waiter reminded us at the start that it is a share place. We intended to go with that, so one person ordered for the whole table. But, as the runners brought each dish, they stood there, holding it up in the air, asking who ordered it. Really? Even if we had ordered dinners individually, they should know who ordered what, at a nice restaurant. Since it's a share situation, just put them down on the table. We had to keep telling them to do that. It was awkward for the two in our group who are not used to share places. They thought they had to claim their dishes, and the rest of us had to sort it out and explain that the restaurant just didn't know what it was doing. The bigger problem was nothing was ever brought with serving utensils. Each time a dish was brought, we had to ask for some way to get the food onto our plates. Over and over. Eventually, the waiter brought a bunch of forks and knives for us to use as serving spoons. The service was just awkward and lame from start to finish. We won't be rushing back. read more

We just had the Japanese Hamachi Crudo, which was fantastic. The Finn in it gives us amazing rush bite after you taste the Crudo. We also ate new to the menu the creole honey butter lays half chicken. Let me tell you the sauce on this chicken was fantastic. It's a white barbecue sauce. As far as the staff the manager Marquin is incredible. He's actually working behind the bar helping the bartenders to keep up on drink so they don't go out late. Our bartender Lucas was amazing super friendly, very engaging and made a delicious mock cocktail from scratch. if you're in the Manhattan Beach area I would definitely stay to stop by. You'll be glad you did. read more

We were really looking forward to dining here, but the experience was disappointing from the start. We did our due diligence by checking Yelp and Google Reviews which all showcased this great outdoor dining area (photos and listed here on Yelp and other sites), and we even made an OpenTable reservation specifically requesting "outdoor dining" in the comments. Despite the request, no one called us to clarify their seating options. After navigating the very challenging parking in this area, we arrived only to be told by both hosts that they don't actually have any outdoor dining accommodations. We understand if policies or layouts change, but it would have been professional to receive a call letting us know beforehand. Fortunately, this led us to call The Strand House, where we were able to get a wonderful patio table. They were incredibly professional, and the food was both terrific and memorable. While we won't be returning to MB Post, we highly recommend heading over to The Strand instead. read more

Please wash your cups with actual dish soap!!!!! The restaurant, staff, food and ambiance were great.... I only struggled with dirty cups. every single cup smelled like egg on the sunday we went for brunch. We had to switch cups 3 times and finally ended up using the kids plastic cup which was the only clean thing they could find. For a Michelin rated restaurant, it's such a basic miss to serve drinks in eggy cups! read more

Ambience is great, food was okay, service could be improved especially for what you pay for! They forgot one of our dishes and didn't bring it out until we were all finished with our mains and asked about the missing dish. The waiter said he would check with the kitchen and I guess it was missed. We were then charged for it twice on our bill... good thing we caught the extra charge. Kind of annoying that they not only forgot one our dishes but also tried to charge us for it twice. Came here for dinner on a Thursday night with reservations. Parking is hard find even on the weekdays. The restaurant is beautiful and there is a nice waiting area where you can order drinks. The food was good and the presentation was wonderful. The DineLA menu seemed to be an up charge so we ordered off the regular menu as well. One person ordered off the DineLA menu and got the scallop crudo, sea bass, and pistachio ice cream. The scallop crudo was very fish and not pleasant in mind. The sea bass with curry was a little too sweet and dry. The pistachio ice cream was amazing though, and I would definitely recommend this. We also got the shellfish bolognese, skirt steak and scallops. The skirt steak was great, and the brocollini that came with it was super charred and flavorful. The bolognese was not what I was expecting, did not taste much shellfish and it was more of a meaty dish, but still good. The scallops arrived after we were done with all of our food, but they were probably the best main course. They were sweet and perfectly cooked. MBP is known as a nice restaurant and with the price tag I expect excellent food and service. The food is pretty good, some dishes have room for improvement. I was already slightly annoyed when they were forgetting drinks, but they also forgot an entree which is a much larger mistake. Bringing food out 20 minutes later when everyone is done eating just isn't really the vibe we were expecting from a restaurant of this caliber. Then seeing us be charged twice for it(an accident of course) on our bill was just salt on the wound. read more

MB Post didn't just roll out a fall menu -- they dropped a culinary mixtape that hits harder than a Thanksgiving food coma and tastes so good your mama might get slapped twice. Every dish feels like Chef David LeFevre raided autumn's pantry, flexed his technique, and said, "Watch this." Here's the play-by-play of the heavy hitters: Lobster Risotto -- 5/5 Slaps (the good kind) Creamy, buttery, perfectly al dente risotto crowned with sweet, luxe chunks of lobster. This wasn't risotto -- this was therapy. The depth of flavor? Nearly illegal. The kind of dish you pause after each bite just to admire what's happening in your mouth. Certified Slap Ya Mama Good. Chilean Seabass Special -- Fall's MVP The seabass came out melting like it forgot how to have structure -- silky, delicate, rich without being heavy. Paired with autumn aromatics and just the right hit of acidity, it was a "stop-talking-to-me-I'm-eating" moment. A masterclass in balance. New Scallop Setup with Fall Carrots -- Fall on a Plate Perfectly caramelized scallops with that sear you dream about. The fall carrot setup brings this earthy-sweet backbone that ties the plate together like an orchestra warming up in harmony. Elegant, seasonal, and straight-up addictive. Slap-worthy elegance. Slow-Cooked Short Rib Special -- A Hug in Entrée Form This short rib didn't "fall off the bone" -- the bone probably fell off it. Deep, rich, slow-cooked perfection with a sauce so glossy it could double as a luxury car finish. Cozy, comforting, and absolutely savage in flavor. A double-slappin' soul-warmer. Lobster Pot Pie -- Sheer Culinary Disrespect This is the dish you tell your therapist about because it awakened something in you. Flaky golden pastry hiding a steaming cauldron of lobster decadence -- creamy, rich, loaded, and ridiculously generous. You don't slap your mama after eating this. You call her and apologize for every bad thing you ever did. Caramel Apple Cheesecake -- Fall's Crown Jewel Imagine the best caramel apple you've ever had... now imagine it became a cheesecake and joined the Navy SEALs. Silky texture, warming spices, lush caramel, and tart apple cutting through the richness. Autumn in dessert form. Certified 10-finger lick, knock-the-chair-over good. Final Verdict MB Post's fall menu isn't just good -- it's dangerously good. It's the kind of menu that makes you consider ordering round two just to relive the moment. A seasonal knockout from top to bottom. Five of Five Slaps Slap Ya Mama Certified. Book a table, wear stretchy pants, and thank me later read more

We went here for a friend's birthday, and this spot is everything you'd want! The vibe is adorable with great lighting and aesthetic touches, plus they have a rotating seasonal menu that keeps things fresh and exciting. We ordered a little bit of everything: the famous biscuits, skirt steak and eggs, eggs benedict, apple cider churros, and a pear and almond brioche danish. Note: the eggs Benedict uses the same famous biscuit, so you could totally just get that instead of the biscuits a la carte. Nothing I'd say was a true standout but everything was fresh and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch. They accidentally messed up one of our drinks but totally made up for it comping it before fixing it, so no complaints there! Plus, they give complimentary dessert for birthdays, which made the celebration feel extra special. If you're looking for a cute and celebratory brunch spot, this place is a must-try! read more

Great date spot or a nice restaurant for a quieter upscale ambiance. Came on a weekday night with a couple friends, we had a reservation but I doubt we really needed one. The food was absolutely delicious. We got a whole range of dishes including the cheddar cheese and skirt steak. There's definitely something for everyone. The drinks were great too. Parking out front is limited to 24 minutes so you may need to find street parking around the area. Service was great. Will definitely come back! read more

I feel like this is one of those spots that you come to for the vibes, but not necessarily for the food. My boyfriend took me here for brunch a while back to celebrate my birthday. I liked how bright and open the restaurant was, and we got our own little table away from others, so it felt like we had our own little space. Service was pretty standard as well - no complaints. As for the food, to start, we ordered the bacon cheddar buttermilk biscuits to share. We were excited to try these because my boyfriend had heard about their "award-winning" biscuits, but maybe we set our expectations too high because we didn't think they were anything incredible (don't get me wrong, we still enjoyed them). For mains, I got the lobster avocado toast, and my boyfriend got the carnitas breakfast chimichanga with beans, both of which were pretty good. Finally, for my birthday, we got a cinnamon roll with lemon glaze "on the house", which we also thought was decent. I did notice a charge for it on our receipt, but we were able to have our waiter remove it. This is a cute brunch spot, but I wouldn't expect the food to blow your mind. Would still recommend! read more

Great date night, birthday or anniversary spot. The food is amazing, strong flavors and lots of technique in execution. We love their biscuits, they are to die for. Some of our favorites are the scallops, hanger steak and the spicy green beans. We always come here and are never disappointed. They did a renovation and the interior is much better, ambiance fits the food. Their drinks are not my favorite, I always order one, but I think they need a mixologist that can fine tune some of the drinks. Some are too sweet, some not sweet enough, some super spicy. Kinda all over the place and always different, so you never know what you are getting. I wish they had some consistency with the speciality drinks like they do with the food. My husband likes an old fashion, so he orders one and they are always good. I guess I am more difficult to please. read more

I've heard of Manhattan Beach Post in regard to their biscuits. As I was not a particularly big biscuit chaser, I never made a big effort to dine at MBP. One day, I decided to go at 5pm with no reservation and realized I've been in this area for Fishing with Dynamite. The outside of the restaurant is certainly nondescript. We ordered the biscuits, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, seafood pasta, tiramisu, and ice cream. The flavors and combinations were wonderful! Next time I would be sure to re-order the biscuits, Brussels sprouts, and ice cream. Service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was somewhat dark, but casual and neat. I ran out to put more coins into the meter, but we ended up spending over two hours at the restaurant so I got a ticket. That was sad. Nevertheless, I'll be back! read more

Came here with moms after we missed breakfast at Marmalades, a bit up the road. Glad we came to the Post. Now granted, neither one of us have been here since pre-covid, and a few precious things are no longer on the menu starting with the old school fried chicken. Lucky for us, those biscuits that you see pictured in countless reviews remain. I must have inhaled mine inside of a minute and a half and I'm being generous at that. and while our minds were set on the fried chicken, we did come away with the grilled variety. We both ordered the two big grilled birds, which were surprisingly seasoned well. Now you already know that you're going to be hit in the pocket a $$$a tad bit rolling up to the Post-but by and large they usually deliver is the reviews again will attest to. But back to the chiken-it's actually huge relevant to the price, so no worries there. And after that biscuit, if you have a drink or two which we settled on coffee, you're pretty much barely able to walk out of the joint. which, quite naturally, brings me to the level of service. In a word, awesome. We were in great hands with Mr Knox, who did a great job in going bullet by bullet down the menu and helping us to decide on the grilled chicken, since the fried variety was no longer there. The coffee was fresh and the heavy cream was awesome. A great outing at the Manhattan Beach Post. read more

This place is so cute. We sat at the bar for brunch and had a very delightful meal. We started with a mimosa flight, three fresh juices and a nice bottle of champagne The food as expected, was delicious Screw steak and eggs and eggs Benedict all cooked and flavored to perfection. Our bartender/server was very friendly and very expedient, even as busy as it was on a Sunday. If you want to sit at a table, make sure to make a reservation. Parking is convenient in a very nearby parking lot otherwise you might get lucky with metered street parking . And of course, you are a block away from the beach, which is really nice to go for a walk after brunch. read more

I've heard good things about this restaurant, a staple in manhattan beach area. I think I might have overhyped myself for this place because my experience here was just okay. We ordered their biscuits, Brussels sprouts, fries, scallops and skirt steak. Majority of the dishes were on the saltier side. I know skirt steaks can be chewy but this one was very very chewy. Service was not the greatest- we kept having to ask a different waiter for our server to come to our table. It's a cool hangout spot, would like to give it another chance and try different items on their menu. read more

We really enjoyed MB Post on several visits years ago, when it was newer and the small-plates, tapas-style menu felt consistently outstanding. The restaurant still has a lovely interior renovation, with lots of plants and an inviting ambiance, but the food no longer feels as special as it once did. We stopped in for brunch and thought the eggs Benedict was fine, though nothing memorable. The warm pecan dessert was especially disappointing: it arrived on a cold cast-iron skillet, was only barely warm, and lacked the soft, sticky texture we expected. Overall, it's just okay now, not the 5-star experience it used to be. read more

There is a reason why this place is a staple in Manhattan Beach. I've never had bad service here. The food is always great. You have to start off with the biscuits and charcuterie (add all flavors together). A must. Can never go wrong with their salads either. I do love their pork tomahawk or their pasta dish and my new favorite is their steamed mussels in the coconut curry....wow! I have been trying to find the recipe to replicate it and just can't. It's so so soooooo good and I'm not even a big curry fan but this dish, it is so flavorful yet not overbearing. I just love the sauce. As I'm writing this I am contemplating going there just to get this dish. Lastly, my new dessert strangely enough is their upside down pineapple cake with the ice cream. I am not a fan of cooked pineapple (I loathe pineapple on pizza...yes I said it. Someone had to).....but this.....the cake is similar to Mastros butter cake and the pineapple gives it that flavor. Just thinking about it is adding calories to my waist line (but it's worth it). read more

I absolutely loved the food. We started with the maple bacon biscuits and it was amazing. I almost bought an order to bring home. They were that good! I split the lobster avocado toast was such an amazing combo and I would order it again if I went. It was also already cut in 4 which is amazing if you wanted to share. We also split the burger which was good but not amazing. I would highly recommend making a reservation on OpenTable as they do get busy. The service was good and it's a nice atmosphere. It's just a couple of blocks from the beach and pier. It can be hard to find parking so give yourself more time for that. There is a parking garage not too far away too read more

My boyfriend and I came here after having the best dinner of our lives 2-3 years back. We came for the Valentine's Day special and haven't stopped talking about it since! I was so excited to return and have a few snacks since we were in the area. We got the grilled banana bread and the cheddar bacon biscuits. Both were amazing. The banana bread was actually insane. Soooo flavorful and warm and the syrup on it was absolutely delicious. The biscuits were just as good as I remembered. We got a few drinks too which were also really yummy. The only bummer was we came around 1 or 2 and they were still serving brunch only. That's why we just got some appetizers. Overall would highly recommend trying this place out. I love the decor and the service is great too! read more

My first review! The skirt steak here is delicious!! Friendly staff and helpful host. Will be back!

Food was honestly just meh. Bacon cheddar biscuits are kinda hard and not my favorite. Skip the pea agnolotti it's not good. Mushroom toast was good but has a slightly vinegar flavor to it. The pork tenderloin was delicious. Service here was AMAZING and so fast. Even to refill the soda as swap plates which is why the review is still a 4 star. A little loud inside overall but wouldn't want to sit outside as it's kinda weird to be on the sidewalk. read more

BISCUITS. To die for. I was so impressed with their brunch! Have done dinner here before and brunch had a few of the same options plus some breakfasts. I don't know how they made my "basic" scrambled eggs plate SO delicious but I will be thinking about it for a long time. I would like to buy the cilantro aioli by the jug. Also, the potatoes? U get it. It was great. My family said their skirt steak was cooked to perfection medium rare and my dad added salmon to his avocado toast and absolutely loved it. The only reason I didn't do bottomless mimosas was because I was afraid I might get too full for my food and I made the correct decision I think. There were plenty of people enjoyed bottomless, though, and their champagne was coming out timely and the juice looked really fresh. Tiara was so sweet and patient with us, and the runners and bussers were very attentive. It was pretty busy when we got there on a Saturday at 1pm but by 2pm it had died down significantly. Only suggestion is for those parking- just put your car somewhere by the tree section and enjoy a beautiful walk instead of messing with the hoopla of downtown MB. read more

I recently visited with a friend, and we decided to do it big with dinner and ordered several things. The good note is the portions generally are quite sizable, so, even though they market it as tapas, or sharing style, you can get away with getting three items or so for two people. We started off with the biscuits, then did the gnocchi and scallops, and also ordered the fried chicken and the mussels. The biscuits were very good, and the butter on the side is absolutely divine, but I do think the biscuits were a bit greasy. The gnocchi was quite filling actually and you do get a lot of it. The flavor was of great and rich. The scallops were my favorite, it is a light dish since you only get three scallops, but it stole the show for me, it was cooked perfectly. The fried chicken was a bit of a miss for me. The chicken itself didn't really have that much flavor and was a bit bland but the crust was pretty good. The coleslaw that it comes with was nothing special. The mussels and rice were very tasty, but at this point of the dinner, we were stuffed beyond belief and couldn't even finish it. I would definitely return and was really happy with my experience. read more
