    Macadamia Crusted Mahi
    Gohar K.

    Had a wonderful time with friends at Rock N Fish Friday night. Customer service and ambiance were great. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and attentive. The decor here is very pleasant and gives good vibes. Right by the pier this restaurant is the perfect place to hang out. The food was mostly good. We ordered a few appetizers, the coconut shrimp was delicious but the artichokes and the calamari were not. I really enjoyed my side wedge salad and the macadamia nut mahi. My husband ordered the jambalaya and liked it. My friend ordered the fish and chips and it was ok, not the best but not bad either. Overall it's a great place to eat at, you won't be disappointed .....great ambiance and great service.

    It was a nice Saturday to try a new seafood restaurant! The food was not the highlight for us but the service and ambiance was perfect. We ordered the calamari for our appetizer - just plays the batter was bland. I ordered the shrimp scampi and my hubby ordered the salmon with veggies. The shrimp scampi could've used more seasoning to bring it the flavor and the same was felt about the salmon dish. Everything was fresh though. Overall, our waitress was super kind, accommodating and attentive thee entire night! I also loved that she offered me a sample of the gumbo before I decided if I wanted to order it and I'm so glad she did bc it didn't have that gumbo flavor I was looking for BUT I wild be interested in returning to try other menu items it just wouldn't be my first choice for seafood.

    It was beautiful this past weekend and we had cousins in town. They asked us to meet them at the beach and this place was feet from the strand. Calamari was delicious, French fries always a good choice , Tortilla soup and Lobster Ceviche was so good 8/10 for sure. A nice glass of white wine on this beautiful Saturday. Jill thank you for your service you were amazing. See you guys soon. Thank you!!

    My two guests and I dined here for the first time. Overall it was a decent and worthwhile experience. I'll give you my highs and less than highs. The restaurant is located close to the beach. There are many other nearby restaurants within a couple of short blocks. We parked about 4 blocks away in a parking structure and glad we did because, as we walked to Rock 'N Fish, we didn't see available street parking. I'm rather used to this because finding street parking anywhere in Manhattan Beach business and dining district is always a challenge. My best advice is to know where parking lots and structures are rather than driving around hunting for a place to leave your car. We were greeted by the host at the restaurant. We had a reservation and were seated at a very large and comfortable booth that could have accommodated 6 or even 8 people. I noticed three separate dining areas - one upon entering with informal seating, the main dining room with booths, tables and a bar, and upstairs dining that looked down on the main dining room. Our waiter was very efficient and gave us plenty of time to go through the menu. We started with the Garlic Cheese Toast that was served with tomato sauce. It was a little pricy at $15 but it was very good and fresh and enough to share by two people. The sauce was basically tomato soup and was very flavorful. I had the New England Clam Chowder soup. The server brought it to our table and didn't know who it was for. I told him it was for me and he set it down. But he left the soup spoon at the other far end of the table which was unnoticed even while I was asking our waiter for the spoon. The soup was pretty good, not exceptional and came barely warm (I won't say "cold" but it was just a notch above that level). I've had clam chowder soup at many restaurants and this recipe was filing and full of flavor and essentially met my expectations. We had arrived at 7 pm and, by 7:30 pm, the noise level inside was so energetic that it was nearly impossible to communicate with my guests. I'm not saying this was a bad thing and I only mention it in case people are looking for intimate dining. Two of us had the King Salmon which included two sides. I ordered the dinner salad and baked potato and so did one of my guests. The downer part is the food looked less than appetizing on the plate. The salmon was on the small size and the baked potato had a very rustic appearance. But both were very good. The salmon was cooked properly, pink inside and served at the right temperature. The baked potato was also hot and not overcooked. Looks and presentation aside it was a good meal. My other guest had the Burrata with Braised Leeks and, although we didn't talk about it, he only ate half of it and said he didn't like it. The server who cleaned the table noticed the burrata was only half finished and didn't say or ask anything about my guest's satisfaction. All things considered this is a nice restaurant, especially for those who like the energetic group scene. The food is good, not spectacular and, for the cost, a good deal. I'd say give it a try and, remember, if you drive your car there try to plan ahead and know where to conveniently park.

    Food was fantastic. Service was top notch. Great place to have a business meeting during the week.

    Oak Grilled Artichoke
    Jennifer G.

    Came to Rock n Fish for a business dinner and the food was amazing! Friendly staff and very accommodating. It was my first time trying grilled artichoke and I loved it. We started with the Caesar salad which was perfectly made and this cheesy bread that was incredible. I didn't even have a chance to take pictures because we dug right in! The halibut was one of the best I've had, so flavorful and juicy! My favorite item was definitely the shrimp scampi, the linguini was AMAZING! A must try!

    This is one of those spots that you can go to and enjoy every moment no matter what you're celebrating or if you're just coming to hang out. I can't tell you how awesome the staff is and how good the food is. Love this spot. The crowd is great the views are even better and it's just an all out great time. Wait time is normally 30 minutes. Parking can be a drag. But it only takes about 15 minutes on a busy day to find a spot. You do have to pay for parking.

    I flew into LA to attend the Blackpink concerts at SoFi and made a reservation at one of my favorite places in Manhattan Beach, Rock 'N Fish. My flight was 3+ hours late but the staff at the restaurant handled my requests to push back my reservation several times ... A big thanks go out to the responsive service ... I finally arrived at 9pm and was seated at a table right by the sidewalk where I could watch the vibrant scene on Manhattan Beach Blvd. I started with a 1908 Empress gin & tonic ($15) while I perused the menu. I ordered a half dozen oysters ($22.95) and the blackened halibut ($49.95) with broccolini and spicy mac-n-cheese as the two sides. The oysters were the size I prefer (small) and were served with cocktail sauce, horseradish and Champagne mignonette. My halibut was not as blackened as I expected, it was more like a well-grilled piece of fish. It was served with grilled lemon, and some Cajun butter. I chose roasted broccolini with honey / sesame glaze and spicy mac-n-cheese as my two sides. The broccolini was so good, I wanted more! I wish my halibut was a bit rarer; I like my fish underdone. That's on me, I failed to tell Lindy how I wanted my fish cooked. I didn't have room for dessert because the mac-n-cheese was so filling, so I ended my meal with a nice cup of coffee (gratis). I asked Lindy if they still had T-shirts for sale. She was unfamiliar with them, but she showed me some caps and I purchased three to give away as gifts back home in Hawaii. If you want good seafood in a vibrant atmosphere, Rock 'N Fish is the place for you! Parking can be problematic, but I've been able to find parking on each visit. Call me lucky!

    Blackened Fish Tacos with fries
    Francisco M.

    This location is real close to the shore and on the hill. There's metered parking that extends to two hours that accepts quarters or card. The atmosphere here is really neat amd obviously marine themed. I like the fish artwork! The service was great. Our server was really nice and friendly. The food arrived at a good time. I got the blackened Fish Tacos (recommended by the server) and it was delicious. The tortillas seemed homemade and has a nice texture to them. They are generous with the avocado. I liked the seasoning on the fish. You get two cups of sauce but I was mostly tempted to eat the tacos as is. The dishes are well portioned. I was full by the end. I'd definitely return to try more of the menu.

    Rum Drink
    Cassidy I.

    This is just a few steps from the Manhattan Beach pier and it's well worth a visit! Honestly, maybe a little touristy, but the food was genuinely good and so was the drink. I can't remember what it was called, it was their specialty rum drink, but it was nice and sweet and had crushed ice. Our waitress was great, she did upsell me on the drink (on my visit, it came with the glass for their anniversary!) but it was a very low pressure sale. She made good menu suggestions after asking our general food preferences. We were able to be seated at 11am on a Saturday with absolutely no wait, but it was busier when we left.

    ROCK'N Scampi
    Hannah B.

    Great tasting, quality food! I've been here a few times growing up, and the food is just as delicious as I remember. We ordered their Beer Battered Fish and Chips, New England Clam Chowder, Blackened Oregon Rockfish, ROCK'N Scampi. Their Fish and Chips are pretty good, not dry, and are perfectly crisped. Their fries are just normal fries but they're good. It also comes with a coleslaw salad which was fresh, lightly sweet, and a bit creamy which I liked. The clam chowder was also pretty good. It sort of reminded me of the clam chowder from Erewhon. It consisted of a good number of clams and was nice and creamy. The Blackened Oregon Rockfish was delicious and very fresh. I also really enjoyed the mashed potatoes that came with the dish. The ROCK'N Scampi is a pasta dish. This dish was good and contained shrimps that tasted fresh. Although, I preferred their non-pasta dishes more. Overall, had a great dining experience and the food here was excellent. The servers were very kind and helpful. The restaurant is also super close to the beach, so you can get a pretty nice view of the beach if you dine outdoors. There's no designated parking lot, but I was able to find free parking minutes away walking distance.

    Fish tacos
    Brittany J.

    Yummy spot near the ocean however as you know in a high tourist area prices are also marked up. Parking is terrible as to be expected. Coconut shrimp and the fish tacos were super fresh and tasty. Good quality products with lots of flavor. Even with the coconut shrimp bring fried, it wasn't heavy or oily.

    Nikki V.

    Love this place! Great location...close to the beach. Lovely outdoorish seating. Came to celebrate our anniversary! Perfect spot for delish drinks, views, yummy food and dessert! And the best service. Great happy hour! Got the espresso martini, beer, and shared the seafood tower. All delish! After a walk around the town & down to the beach, we had dinner later on ... Artichoke, cheese bread, Rib Eye & Cioppino = all delish! We had 2 different servers and they both were super attentive and friendly. Recommend!

It definitely needed a starch, so I ended up borrowing some smashed potatoes from the sea bass dish to round it out.

The breakfast potatoes were especially mid and lacked seasoning or anything memorable. My wife didn't enjoy the pork belly benedict much, although she did really like the salmon benedict. On the other hand, the bluefin tuna tostada was magnificent and easily one of the standout dishes we had. The fries situation was fascinating to me. They're $15, but to be fair they give you an absurd amount of fries -- basically an entire fry boat. They also serve them with house-made ketchup and aioli, which sounds great... except they give you about a thimble worth of sauce. I started noticing almost every other table with fries had huge piles left over and completely ran out of sauce early on. At that point it almost feels intentional because there's no way the restaurant hasn't noticed this pattern already. Overall, this is the kind of place where you go for the scenery, people watching, drinks, atmosphere, and social experience more than for mind-blowing food. If you approach it that way, it's a really enjoyable spot.

    I've lived close by for years and I gotta say, after coming to Quality Seafood twice (once in Nov…read more '25 and in March '26), I will definitely stop taking this South Bay gem for granted. I've only had the pleasure of having the following items below, but I'll be back in the coming years to try more. - Calamari [7.7/10]: regardless of what size you order, the portion is generous. This place doesn't overdue it with the batter and lets the flavor the fresh squid shine - which I adore. Only giving this dish its rating because there are a few Italian spots in Torrance that have my heart when it comes to the best calamari. - Fish Tacos [8.5/10]: Every bite gives a nice crunch of both batter and fish. I've had unpleasant experiences where I've had pockets of crispy batter, here the fish tacos are so great it actually doesn't need much support from lemon and/or tartar sauce. Be sure to order a couple of these bad boys during happy hour for $5 each. - Clam Chowder [8.3/10]: This place hits the mark on the texture of a classic chowder. Admittedly my cup could have used a touch of salt. I would have liked a bigger portion for what I paid for, but if you're in the mood for something hot to compliment your fried seafood - this is worth getting. This is also featured on the happy hour menu for $5 - Garlic Fries [10/10]: My favorite bite from this place so far. Not on the happy hour menu, but 100% worth getting and eating with your fish, shrimp, crab, lobster, etc. Perfect amount of seasoning and that white wet sauce on top is so so so addicting. The unsung hero of my most recent visit was Jose over at Station 20. In addition to taking my order, he single handedly called out orders for everyone by the dining the area during the end of happy hour rush. A whole wave of customers came in less than 10 mins I placed my order so I can only imagine how overwhelming things were on the service side of things. For my most recent visit, most of my order came in and my garlic fries came in last. I could tell there was a mix up in the kitchen, but Jose apologized and said a new order would be ready for me in less than 5. Definitely worth the delay/wait imo. Food is great. Seating is limited. Customer service is superb. But once you fish your food, you gotta take a long walk along the pier. It's a wonderful way to rejuvenate and make sure the quality seafood digests well. Can't wait to explore more of the menu, including the happy hour drinks.

    I've been coming to Quality Seafood for the past couple of years, usually on Fridays for fish…read moretacos, and I've ordered the same fish taco and shrimp taco combination 40 to 50 times. It has generally been a place I've enjoyed and recommended, which is why this stood out. There's always been some normal inconsistency in portion. Some days the fish is bigger, some days smaller. Same with the shrimp, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. That never bothered me. It's part of a busy seafood counter, and I've never felt the need to say anything. What I got today was different. The fish taco was on the small side and dry, but the shrimp taco was the issue. It was served fried, very dark, and overcooked to the point the shrimp was tough. When I opened it after a few bites, I realized I was mostly eating tortilla and toppings. There were only about three shrimp total, which is noticeably less than what I've consistently received here before. In prior visits, I've also been asked whether I want my tacos grilled or fried, including the shrimp, and I've consistently chosen the lighter, non-fried option. What I received today was not that. I approached the counter politely and simply said the taco wasn't good, pointing out the quality and portion issue. I wasn't trying to make a scene and I'm not someone who returns food, especially over something this small. I was more pointing it out so it didn't keep happening. I was told nothing could be refunded because I had taken a few bites, so I asked to speak with a manager. That's where this went sideways. Instead of listening, the manager immediately dismissed it. She repeatedly told me that what I described was "not possible," insisted they have never prepared shrimp any differently in her 27 years there, and said they only ever serve three shrimp. As someone who has ordered this exact item many times, I was essentially being told that my own experience did not happen. The conversation ended with me being asked to leave. I've worked in and managed restaurants. Mistakes and inconsistencies happen. This was a simple situation that could have been handled in seconds, either by replacing the taco or offering a refund. Instead, it was denied outright and escalated. This wasn't about a $5 taco. It was about how it was handled. Being told that your repeated experience is "not possible" and then being asked to leave is not an acceptable way to handle a reasonable concern.

Our server, Raquel, was lovely and on top of things. I had what I think is the best Mai Tai I've ever had, even while in Hawaii! Just delicious. We enjoyed the fried asparagus and bacon deviled eggs as our appetizer. The buttermilk fried chicken, crispy chicken sandwich and the ribeye melt were really good, but I am STILL thinking about how incredible Cha Cha's Spicy Rigatoni was. So incredibly creamy, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of heat. My daughter orders this every time it's on a menu, and this is by far the best I've ever tasted. SO good. We had mentioned we were celebrating our twins' birthday, and they were served two lovely pieces of chocolate cake with a candle, AND a card for each of them signed by the staff. Never have I experienced that before for a birthday in a restaurant! Just a great touch. I am SO glad my daughter suggested we go here, and every time we're in town we will return. Cannot recommend it enough!!!!

Some dishes could've been executed better. Going down the list of dishes I had here: - Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits: These were more like scones rather than biscuits. Crunchy with good bacon and cheddar flavor. - Japanese Hamachi Crudo: Unique and I liked the citrusy flavor and creamy texture. However, 3 small slices of fish for $26 was overpriced. - Leafy Greens & Radicchio: Solid and crispy salad with a nice tangy dressing. The cheese also added a lot of sharp flavor which was nice. - Skirt Steak: Good flavor and char, but a bit tough. Also some dry pieces. - Chilean Sea Bass: Lemon orzo risotto was creamy and delicious. The sea bass itself was okay, nothing special. It felt overpowered by the risotto. The fish was moist and flaky though. - 20 Oz Prime Beef Ribeye: Quality was subpar relative to price. Portion size was solid by the steak itself was inconsistent. Some of the pieces were rarer while others were more well-done even though we asked for medium rare. There were also some dry pieces which I did not like. Flavor was good though. - Strawberry and Olive Oil Cake: Was confused since there was just a thin layer of cake, but realized the title also referred to the mousse. I would title it 'Strawberry Mousse with Olive Oil Cake" to make it less confusing. Regardless, this was a delicious dessert! Love the fruity strawberry and savory pistachio flavors as well as the smooth textures. - S'mores sundae: Got this on the house for my aunt's birthday. A generous portion but the components were a bit too sweet for my liking. I visited this restaurant for a birthday that I organized and my experience was overall good. Reservation was made easy using OpenTable and I could also mention it was for a birthday occasion. The ambiance was gorgeous with good mood lighting. Good for group and 1 on 1 dining. Parking is metered or street parking. Overall, I probably wouldn't come out of my way to dine here again, but my experience wasn't bad just not significant enough to put in my rotation. Would come back if someone treated me here though.

The food is always consistently excellent,…read moreand it remains one of my favorite spots on the Westside for the vibe, the team, and the overall experience. Last night, the Branzino was fabulous, and we also loved the artichoke, trout dip, and calamari. The Old Fashioneds are hands-down some of the best on the Westside. It was also a pleasure meeting Nick Roberts. The camaraderie and mutual respect between him and the staff was obvious and really added to the welcoming atmosphere. I go to Playa Provisions often and frequently bring guests -- it never disappoints.

    Yes. Yes. Yes…read more Fantastic concept. Well executed. 4 different restaurant/food sections in one space. On the left: Dockside restaurant: Intimate restaurant for dinner and brunch on weekend. But while it is "intimate" and higher end pricing, it's very accessible ($20-40) and feels very laid back. Beach chic eating! On the right, there's a a visually more laid back lunch side, next to an ice cream/coffee section. A nice bar area connecting the two sides. I had brunch at Dockside. Fantastic! I had the crab and shrimp eggs Benedict. Creamy delicious sauce with generous but not overpowering crab and shrimp. My friend had the salmon salad and shared. It too was wonderful! Crisply lettuce leaves with a gentle, slightly sweet vinaigrette and salmon fillet grilled perfectly. Other than the waiter forgetting my coffee, service was good. I wasn't an issue, I was having a great time! Then we walked the beach - wonderful area without a lot of commercialization. More natural beach, no pier. Then returned for the ice cream and coffee. I was being greedy! Had a matcha affogato AND a large cinnamon roll. It was worth it!!! Top it all off, despite having lots of customers throughout the day, they managed to have clean, more upscale bathrooms. I have to love this place! I'm so glad my friend showed me this place. It's the perfect beachside chill restaurant. Easily accessible to the beach, with great food, sizable bar, and basically everything you could want while chilling on the weekend! Didn't take pics. Too busy enjoying myself.
