Yet again, The Craftsman did not disappoint. Mykel (the owner) was onsite and even remembered me when I walked in -- a true sign of great ownership and hospitality. I introduced him to my wife, and we decided to sit at the bar. Holly and Julia took great care of us. Both were personable, attentive, and completely on point throughout our visit. We tried the queso dip with chorizo, zucchini fritters, and the dry rub wings -- every single item was delicious. Hats off to the chef. You really can't beat the vibe here. Close to the beach, clean atmosphere, attentive and friendly service, amazing food, and owners who add the kind of personal touch most establishments miss these days. I'll absolutely continue coming back for the food and beer. Do yourself a favor and stop in. Check out my previous review too -- that's how much I enjoy this place. Always have to give props to establishments that truly do it right.

I hadn't had a pastrami sandwich in decades but am so glad I tried Craftsman's pastrami. Addicted! Perfect balance of savory and a bit of sweet. Great quality pastrami too.

Nice open space and well-lit

I elected for one of their IPA's. Of course I can't remember which one it was but it was a tasty hazy IPA. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Elected to enjoy the beer outside since it was a sunny day! Guy behind the counter was friendly and prompt. They also have a decent section of crafts beers that you can take home! I found this Hula Moon IPA by Trademark that was super good! I'll be back to pick up some more and try something new! No food served here, but they welcome you to bring your own!

The upstairs features inside and patio dining, but up a flight of steps. We started with the very tasty Mediterranean Artichokes which came on a mixture of garbanzo beans, basil, olives, tomatoes, onions & capers. Not what I expected but still really good. I'd have it again in the future for its rich taste and excellent presentation. My main course was the Tuna Melt. While not anything special I was just right for only a medium appetite. My guest ordered the Ribeye Mushroom and loved. He said he wants to come back and order it again for its preparation, seasoning and great taste. I always recommend this restaurant and try to return whenever I'm in the area.

Definitely exceeded my expectations. I'd absolutely order them again, and I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu on future visits. Reliable spot with consistently good vibes.

We chose a restaurant down the street from this place (Montauk), and boy was it terrible. My wife and I were still hungry and wanted dessert so we went to the Rockefeller, and it was a great choice. After dropping over $200 at the other place, we were pleasantly surprised to see the very reasonable prices for the food at the Rockefeller. We told our waiter that we were in a hurry to get our kids because of the bad experience that we had down the street and did a fabulous job of getting our food to us super-fast. Food: My wife got the baja fish tacos and they were presented amazingly and my wife loved them. I got the hot chocolate chip cookie and the bread pudding and literally inhaled both of them. Both were great. Ambiance: This place is so cute, inviting, relaxing, friendly, clean. Just a place that feels comfortable. Staff: Our waiter was so nice, understanding, quick and made a great recommendation on the bread pudding. Price: When we got our bill, just wow! The total bill was less than the tip that I left at Montauk and the food was 10 times better at the Rockefeller. This Rock(s)-efeller. Thank you! We will be back for sure.

We'd been to R&B last year and enjoyed it so much we agreed to meet there again. The parking lots was packed but surprisingly, the restaurant wasn't very crowded and we didn't have to wait at all. After skimming over the menu, I decided to try the chicken pot pie. Our server said it was a fairly new item and it was delicious. I took her at her word and was extremely happy with my selection. The crust was very unique in that it looked more like a fruit pie rather than a pot pie. I'm pleased to report the crust was delightfully flaky and buttery. It enveloped a generous portion of shredded rather than diced chicken and the blend of fillings hit the spot. My wife had the tuna nachos which were also wonderful but a bit lacking in portion size. Not being in the mood for alcohol, I ordered one of their "dirty" sodas which tasted very much like an orange 50/50 ice cream bar. The server was very sweet and extremely helpful. If the restaurant was a little closer to home, we'd probably frequent it more often but it definitely is a great choice if you happen to be in the south Torrance/Redondo Beach area. Looking forward to my next visit.

Waiters kept checking on us. Got the mild Buffalo Wings for $14 and Parmesan Fries for $6. The wings were good. The Parmesan Fries were really good, they didn't skimped on the Parmesan. Both dishes were small and came with ranch sauce. Got place to watch the games with friends. Not the place to have a conversation.

The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.
