On a couple of different occasions, my family and I were treated to awesome live music by this band, Mixed Generations and food. Last summer, my nephews and I enjoyed music, hot dogs, chips, churros, and sodas. This most recent occasion, the hubby and I had chips, guac, beef and chicken tacos. All made with love as everything was tasty. From the bar I chose to get a ginger ale. The facility is capable of holding small to large events depending on which room of the lodge. The lodge is clean. The stage and lounge area is decorated in Hawaiian decor. Lastly, the Elks members are kind. Just lovely people. 4 stars.

The Venue and Food: RBH is a beautiful location, and their customer service is truly outstanding…read more During the preparation process, they always responded within a couple of days. The only issue we ran into was with the guests that had special food requests (gluten free, allergies, etc.)---there was a slight mix-up and some of them didn't get their food until much much later on in the night. The food though, was great overall! People kept talking about the chicken and the salmon. I remember the guests commenting on how delicious the food was. I remember that my husband and my sister (she went to the food tasting, since I couldn't make it from Northern California), said that they weren't too impressed during the tasting, but they really blew it out of the water for the day of! Kathy: Kathy is so sweet, friendly, and professional--very extroverted! She made sure that all the details were taken care of and the night went rather smoothly. We were a bit scared because I was checking the weather and it read: sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny, BLUSTERY, sunny, sunny. That blustery day? Wedding day. Ugh, right? But fear not, Kathy made sure it all worked out, and we were still able to do the ceremony outside! DJ Lance: GREAT guy. Super sweet, friendly, and he played such great songs. We gave him a list of songs we'd like, and he rolled with the punches and went for it. He also led our guests in a jeopardy game about my husband and me, in order to dismiss the tables for the buffet food. He projected a powerpoint of us as a couple, growing up, in our respective towns. The guests absolutely LOVED him, as did we. We are quite happy that we chose RBH. After about 10 in-person interviews of other locations, we do not regret our decision.

Growing up in the South Bay, Torrance Cultural Arts Center became near and dear to my heart. When I…read morewas younger I took different classes dance classes here. I remember taking ballet as kid and modern dance as a teen. I also took a workout class when I was in college. I always appreciated the large and spacious dance studios where the classes were held. Now that I'm older I've also come to appreciate Torrance Cultural Arts Center as a venue. I've been to several different festivals here such as the Japanese Matsuri Festival and Lunar New Year festival. This spot is perfect for the community to get together and like how each festival is able to have many different booths. I also love how there is a stage area both outside and inside. I've also attended the Torrance Firefighters' Annual Spaghetti Dinner here. This is another great event at this spacious venue. Despite it being quite a popular dinner, there''s plenty of room for all to enjoy an evening out. Torrance Cultural Arts Center is great! Whether it be for classes or community events or festivals, this spot is perfect for small or large gatherings.

First time here. Found it through social media. Glad we went! 2026 Torrance Lunar Year Festival…read more It was so festive! Although a small community event, it was bigger than I thought. There were food vendors, arts and crafts, music, performers, lion dance, magician doing magic tricks, ballroom dancers, a lot of vendors promoting services as well as other sellers selling decor, ornaments, plush, garment/clothing, etc. There were a lot of things to see! They even have a small area to do a small arts and crafts paper lantern for the kids! You can even go further in and see the small koi pond and peaceful garden (PINE WIND GARDEN). The mayor was there along with other community and local city members. They sure pulled some strings to make that small event happen. It was so fun and memorable.

Spacious enough to hold a big crowd. Event was coordinated by a co-worker; with the open bar and a decent buffet spread, it was good party.

Unfortunately, my experience with this company was extremely disappointing and stressful…read more A final meeting and food tasting took place one month before my event, where I approved the chef and paid the remaining balance in full (in cash). At no point was I told I would need additional staff hours, more chairs, or any extra fees. Despite this, three days before my event, I was suddenly given a new balance. Then one day before the event, I was told I needed to provide liability insurance -- information that should have been disclosed at least 30 days in advance, not the day before. This resulted in unnecessary stress and constant back-and-forth between the owner and billing. Other issues included: * A substituted chef * Food that did not match the tasting * Dessert table that ignored the approved pink and gold theme * Incorrect lighting, missing slideshow, and missing napkins * Guests being asked to assist with tasks that should have been completed beforehand * Venue conditions that were not as represented After the event, I was also asked to leave a positive review in exchange for compensation, which I found highly unprofessional. I have text messages and documentation that confirm my experience and the timeline of these issues. While the venue itself is beautiful, the communication, execution, and business practices were chaotic and unacceptable. If you are considering this company, be prepared for last-minute fees, poor communication, and broken promises. -Khrystyne

Lots of room! Indoor and outdoor. You can even bring your dog or cat to this location. Big amenity to animal lovers. Overall, this place is a go to spot to watch sports. They focus on Dodgers, Rams, Lakers, Kings and Galaxy, nothing else!! My type of bar. I am definitely coming back. The name Common Space is actually catching.

She makes you feel at home and calm as soon as you start speaking to her. I really could have stayed all day with her just chatting about life. I went to Meet Me in the Dirt for the Signature class and loved every second of it. Every step of the class is a distinctive and special process that all comes together in the end. If you are someone who is looking for a wholesome and healing experience, this is the place for you. I went in not knowing anything about the experience and I truly believe that is the best way to really feel it all. Barbara guides you through the whole thing and my best advice is to really lean in and be open through every step of the way. I did a one on one experience which I'm grateful for but this would also be a great day to hang with a girlfriend or a group of friends. Thank you for this magnificent experience, Barbara! I really cannot wait to come back.

Cute claw arcade in Torrance with a decent number of machines, friendly staff and clean setup. 1…read moretoken per game on the larger machines but two plays per token on the smaller ones. Very cute selection of plushies and trade ups are possible but for the medium/large stuffies only. I've become somewhat of a regular of these arcades as they've been popping up in SoCal, and have become somewhat good at figuring out what helps for machines. Weight distribution matters and claw strength! I found that the small machines were much easier to win prizes (maybe by intention) and the larger machines had such cute prizes but loose grip strength in the claw making it harder to win the bigger, good prizes. So all of a sudden your tokens start vanishing quickly. I had 50 token credits and ended up with two medium sized plushies and 6 small items, which for me is on the smaller end of a haul. Still had fun but other claw arcades may give you a better win rate. Parking is plentiful, in the same lot as a Dollar Tree and several other stores.

First time here …read more It was a pleasant surprise to find this beautiful garden area in the city . We came here to see specifically to see the Trolls by artist Thomas Dambo that come here annually. There are 12 Trolls placed about the park which you walk to find. You are instructed to follow the "sparkles" that show which way to go along the paths throughout the garden. We were fortunate to meet a regular patron of this park , and he graciously led us to each Troll. He also shared additional information about the garden and pointed out unique points of interest too. We had a great time looking for the Trolls and enjoyed the lovely day walking around these gardens . * I ended up purchasing an annual pass at the end of our tour. Today's entry fee was applied toward the pass too. Looking forward in coming again.

The South Coast Botanic Gardens is organized well by the staff. It is easy to navigate, however, their wifi internet connection is horrible, thus the 4 stars. If you want more information, you can scan the QR code at each troll, but in our case, it only buffered for several minutes, so we gave up. We also learned for a fee, you can get more information on each troll, but we passed on paying more for that and enjoyed just seeing these wonderful wooden creations. We truly enjoyed the trolls and I am so grateful the trolls are here until October 2026. The butterfly experience was fun fun fun! It is a small enclosed area and I learned more butterflies are on their way. We arrived the second day of opening. The weather was chilly and many of the butterflies were resting, so it was hard to see them. It doesn't matter, we were very happy to be in this special enclosed space. The staff here answered our questions and we told them they were fortunate to volunteer there. Parking: plenty of free parking on site. Do arrive early. The temperature was nice in the morning to walk around and parking was easy. As we were leaving, it was getting more crowded. We saw a place that sold food, but we passed on this and drove to a restaurant to have lunch.
