We got a table immediately as we walked in which was good. Staff was friendly. However, the server we got unfortunately was not very attentive. The place was not super busy to say she was too busy to be available. We HAD to get her attention 2x in order to get more water and had them empty for a while. And having water to me is something very basic that does not require much effort. Just a refill. Which she failed to do. Aside of that, we had to wait over 40min for our food to come out. We had to wait to " catch her" to get her attention to ask for a box for to go and the dessert menu. However, considering the wait time to get simple things and how long the food took to come out we decided to skip dessert here and go elsewhere for it. Towards our way out, another waitress charged us when she saw the bill sitting in the table. I imagine the other left, this one even offered immediately a refill in water. Such a huge difference just in the last minutes that she was with us. Very big! If it was this waitress who served us, I am sure this would have been a 5 star review. And to top it off I did notice who seemed to be the manager all in black walking around with a very serious face. Wouldn't hurt him to be more friendly when he is in the customer service industry. He passed several times , and didnt even notice the empty cups. read more

Just had a great lunch. Ribeye sandwich and fries is fantastic. Also had the spicy tuna on crispy rice. Loved it. My friend and I shared both and a nice bottle of rose. Regina was our wonderful server. She was a sweetheart. We were also surprised with a s'more's desert for my friend's birthday. It was another wonderful experience. read more

I ordered the lobster roll with a salad. My sister ordered the oysters and the onion soup. We sat at the bar where Jay was our server. My sister said the oysters was just ok. The minionette was unbalanced. IDK know either cause I don't eat oysters. She really enjoyed the French onion soup. She wouldn't shut up about the crunchy croutons at the bottom of the soup! My lobster roll was cold! It was like a lobster salad which I didn't like! The bread was light and delicious. I'll definitely be back to try the dinner menu! read more

Came across this place by accident when the restaurant I was going was closed for lunch. It worked out perfectly. The menu has a big variety to choose from. From salads, sandwiches and big plates. My brother got the Caesar salad with chicken. He really liked it because of their style of croutons. They call it garlic streusel. I got the Roasted Mary's Chicken Breast on top of creamed cornbread. Hard to explain, but the closest thing I can compare it to is polenta. It was perfect with the chicken and cranberry mostardo. Got the black garlic purée on the side. Glad I did that since it was very strong. I'll go back to check out some of the sandwiches and burgers. read more

We had dinner last night at Saint and Second with another couple and it was about average. I must start off by saying that the restaurant was very pretty and that the manager was very nice and efficient. Service was okay, a little slow at times, and my husband and our friends both ordered the same thing, differently cooked and they were each given the other's food. They ended up switching after each eating a bite of the other's discovering one was well-done, and one was rare! We had cocktails which took a while to come as the bar was backed up. We all had the French Onion Soup which we were told was more savory than sweet, but was actually very sweet. I probably would not order this if you are looking for a more savory dish because it's definitely on the sweeter side. I had the burger which was okay but could definitely have used some pickles for crunch. I asked for crispy fries but my fries were just barely warm. My friend enjoyed the Branzino and the husbands had the steak. My husband said the steak was just okay. The restaurant is very pretty and inviting but we all noticed that the floor was extremely slippery. When I went to the bathroom, I felt like I was literally ice skating there. I did inform the manager who immediately thanked me and put up caution signs. I'm not sure that we'd return. read more

Stopped in this week for a birthday dinner, my take way from this place is that it's either going to need some serious training, development, and manager engagement, or it may just be one more restaurant that will not make it, here one day, gone the next. Considering the major upcoming events in 2026 lining up in CA in 2026, e.g., World Cup, concerts and so much other, major turnaround is warranted. Parking: Free- not an issue, it's at the mall, so plenty of free parking. If you prefer valet, there is that option as well. Hostess: Standoffish, one of them only greeted the man, yet me, the person that made the reservation totally blown off. Reservation was made on open table, I listed 3 things, celebrating a birthday, mushroom allergies and prefers inside seating, yet she asks if we want to sit outside. (Clearly not reading notes). Establishment: Small, too small for this venue, not sure what they were thinking. Felt cold, unwelcoming, set up is odd, nothing like the other locations. We asked to sit in the high-tops since the hostess was taking us to the end booth near the kitchen- who wants that noise? Server: Nice young lady, but clearly pays no attention. She asked if there are any allergies, we said yes, mushrooms, (Severe). Orders: We ordered the same thing we usually get at the WH and LB location. Appetizer: Parker Rolls. The worst we've had. Unlike the other sites, we received already over buttered rolls. I tasted brown sugar, honey sugar and parsley and sea salt. Caution, the butter is actually truffle honey, truffle is mushroom. I'm allergic to mushroom, this was discussed with the server and listed in my reservation. Presentation of the rolls was poor; they exhibit a large hole where they insert all this butter junk. Less is more, or better yet, allow the customer to apply their own butter. Allergic reactions are dangerous, it is not about not liking, it's about my body swelling up and breaking into a rash. Perfect Martini, not perfect at all. Bartender making the drink, I watched him hand pick the ice, then the olives, a little distasteful. Why not invest in a tong like the rest of the bars in the area? Drink was served lukewarm, it was a disaster, citrus excess, too wide and large, lemon peel was squeezed more than a simple twist. Designers Smoke: Watered-down, not as beautiful or Smokey like the other sites present it. Burger and Salad: Sloppy presentation, like it was made rushed. S &S Fish and Chips: Fish oily on the outside and dry on the inside, not flaky, or buttery. Fries were fine. The server offered us dessert for miss on paying attention to allergic to mushrooms. We weren't feeling it, politely said no. She still brought a mini smores for the birthday gentleman and a candle. While the gesture is appreciated, if you will bring the smore dessert, then bring the torch, what is the point in serving a marshmallow without any heat applied. I feel pretty badly today from this experience, I was hopeful for a nice dinner for my favorite person, the vibe was awful. Unlively place, inexperienced bartenders and to make matters worse, seemed like the few folks there were too busy watching the Dodgers loose. Most of the staff was paying attention to that and not the customers. Why have a TV there, make it a place to dine and connect, not an almost sports bar. Unfortunately to see that they are not trying, not worth $122 bucks. One more thing.... it's really rude to feel pressured to leave a big tip, for the server to just be in your face waiting. Do what the Strand house, or Tin roof does, they leave you the bill and table device, walk away for a bit and come back. read more

We used to like it but this last time it was awful, we started to be suspicious when we found the place half empty on a Saturday evening, The service was pretty good evn though we got 3 different servers in two hours. What's with the Spirits selection? They do not have any of the regular like Chopin vodka or Tito's??? The only decent thing were the oysters but the food was over seasoned and the frites steak was too salty almost inedible...oh well it was sad... read more

Saint & Second - Autumn Ember! Delicious! Thank you JY and Bree! Excellent food, drinks, and service! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I had dinner with some friends at their opening. We sat in the outside patio area which opened up to the main courtyard of the center. The atmosphere was good since a group of us were catching up and had not seen each other in a while. The servers were top notch. I enjoyed the ricotta meatballs appetizer as well as the main course which was the Mary's chicken. Both were flavorful and delicious. The rest of my party had steaks and liked them. I have been to the Long Beach location several times and liked this new one is better (both in terms of the servers and the food). The finishings and furniture are top notch and you can tell that they meticulously decorated this location prior to opening. We'll be back! read more

Yum!! We've visited a few times since opening. Two of the three times, Sara sat us and was so sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable. She even checked on us at one point, unheard of for a host! The manager, Adam, also was attentive which is a sign of great leadership involvement. All three of the servers we've had have been outstanding. And the food..we've tried brunch and dinner and all were amazing! Great eggs Benedict and delicious egg sandwich for breakie. Our fave mains were the pasta, the roast chicken, and the risotto. All superb! The wine selection is also impressive Can't wait to go back. Time to try the burger! read more

Nice location with excellent service and delightful cuisine. The restaurant atmosphere was lovely. We had brunch on a Sunday morning. We ordered the Biscuits & Gravy and Huevos Rancheros.

We are looking forward to going back for lunch/dinner. read more

We had a fantastic experience at Saint & Second! We came in with a party of 8, and the staff handled our large group flawlessly. The food was great across the board, but what really made the night was our server, Hector. His service was absolutely phenomenal--he was attentive, professional, and kept everything running smoothly without us ever having to ask for a thing. read more

I'm so disappointed to write a negative review of this location. Zero stars. My friend and I came in last Friday night around 9:30pm. As a new establishment it was pretty busy. We attempted to sit on a couple chairs at the outside bar that looked to be open. We immediately knew something was up because the server said to wait because they were taken. I was confused and simply asked why we couldn't sit there. After she had a short back and forth with management they let us sit down. I asked one of the bartenders if the menu was the same as the LBC location and he said it was. I asked a couple of additional questions about the cocktail menu, then my friend and I ordered. I noticed after about 10-15 minutes we were very obviously being ignored. Our server never returned and the bartender never even looked at us again. Right after that the manager Adam came over and told us we wouldn't be served any alcohol, but could feel free to order appetizers. I asked him what my could my friend and I have possibly done to be denied service, as we were both friendly and polite to everyone. We had been laughing and chatting as you do when you go out on a Friday night. After my questioning, he said it appeared my friend was intoxicated and that someone complained about us. I was honestly shocked and defended my friend and myself. We had not done anything wrong and had only been there a short amount of time. And neither of us were intoxicated, just laughing and talking. And not the least disruptive. It wasn't worth it to us to stay any longer where we weren't welcome so my friend and I simply left. I wasn't going to pay for any appetizers after that. I feel like there was some level of discrimination against because of how we looked. My friend has beautiful neck and hand tattoos. And I was wearing an arguably loud leopard print jacket. But that's not a real reason to deny service to paying customers. I've never been kicked out of any establishment. I come to find out yesterday (direct source) that they kicked several people out of those seats prior to us that evening. Apparently some lady was saving those specific seats for hours for her and some guy who never even showed up. So she complained about us. So they were willing to cater to this woman by kicking out paying customers. I also found out a few days prior some girls had been throwing up in the bathroom for not being able to handle their alcohol. So I guess they thought we would do the same. It's completely ridiculous for them to deny us service due to others behavior. And let some other customer dictate seating that would be open to any paying customer. What an absolutely awful experience here. I won't be returning. I'm also considering not returning to the Long Beach location I've patronized multiple times due to my experience here. read more

These 5 stars seem questionable. This place is 2 stars at best. Food was super salty . Steak tartar was super salty. Salmon plate was plain . Crab cake barely has any crab in it . Drinks are Ok Service is minimal at best. Place is not even busy and have to look around to find waitress . read more

If you're looking for a place that feels like both inexperience and has amazing food, this is it! I have been patiently waiting along with the rest of the Manhattan Beach population for this location to open, and it did not disappoint. Modern meets beach elegance for a very classy dining experience. I had the pleasure of dining here before their opening and the menu was phenomenal. I have since also dying here for an evening ladies night out. I had the fresh oysters at market price and I ordered a Manhattan. Both were perfect. I love what they're doing with the Manhattan Village overall and Saint and second fits perfectly. Amazing service, we will be a frequent customer. read more

Came on a Friday night for social hour since the website indicated that social hours are from 3-6 pm and 9- close. We arrive at 9:30 pm and told the host that we were there for social hour. He went to the bar and came back and said that it actually starts at 10pm. So the website was wrong and he apologized saying that it was a mistake on their website. Any type of good customer service would have accommodated us And to emphasize the restaurant was pretty empty. They really can't serve 3 people for social hour. Definitely need to rethink their customer service process. We left and got seated promptly at Tin Roof. Thank goodness for other great restaurants who we can always rely on for good food and good customer service. read more

Nice ambiance and great service. Happy hour specials were nice. Food was good but a little overpriced imo.

Amazing! We were visiting the area and decided to try Saint & Second because we knew if Chef Jason Fullilove was involved we'd have a wonderful meal. The food, service and ambience exceeded our expectations. Our friends who live in the area have decided it will be one of their new hangouts and we will definitely be back when we come back to town. read more

Inside had a great vibe, but we sat outside, which was perfect for people watching. we started with the house rolls (kids devoured them) and they were delicious.

Disappointed. Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and ordered the smoked tri tip hash and an iced matcha latte. The eggs are suppose to be poached but they were essentially hard boiled. The tri-tip was tough and the matcha latte was tasteless green water. I do give them credit for trying to make this 'right' but was speechless when I was asked how I expected the eggs to be cooked. The menu description does indicate it comes with two POACHED eggs so frankly I was a little puzzled at the question. Also I appreciate that they re-made the matcha latte although I declined the offer. TIP: Reborn across from here makes THE best matcha latte read more

We arrived before the crowd. The restaurant filled up quickly. Our server was very nice, funny and attentive until the restaurant filled up. We lost him for a while. The appetizer we had were delicious. We had the barrata & tomatoes and the fried calimari, My friend ordered a Chinese chop salad with salmon. She received a bowl of lettuce with one orange slice. We had to request the salmon and dressing. The Mac and cheese with lobster was watery and clumpy. The cheese did not blend with the rue for a creamy texture. Definitely not worth what we paid for it. I was truly disappointed. My husband's burger was okay. The scallop risotto was good. Our friend liked it. Our dinner was over two and half hours Luckily we were not in any rush. We ended with a mini smore cake for the birthday boy which was very nice. I left feeling disappointed in the meal. We enjoyed the ambiance, the friendly staff and the drinks. The ambiance was upscale, comfortable with a beach theme. The main dishes lacked luster for a higher end restaurant. I shared with my husband on the drive home that Saint and Second is trying to be high end and missed the mark significantly with the food. Truly disappointing for what we paid. I was hoping to try brunch someday but I really do not want to return. read more

I've been to the Long Beach location multiple times but no longer live in that area. So after waiting over four years for the restaurant to open, I wasn't disappointed. Our server, Johnny recommended the lamb pastrami sandwich served with fries. It was amazing! We also tried the fish and chips which in my grandmothers words may just be better than one of her favorites across the street. Given it was only day four since opening their doors, management, hosts and staff exceeded my expectations of quality service and attention. Never knew what I was missing until I had it! I'll definitely be back requesting Johnny as our server. read more
