This place is a must visit in Manhattan beach. Food is outstanding. The pork chop was simply delicious and amazing. Ambience is inviting and yet upscale. Extensive wine list with an in house sommelier. That's some next level stuff. Staff are super nice and friendly. They all have extensive product knowledge. And can guide you the best possible way. Thank you Sara for being an amazing host to us. read more

Saint & Second - World famous pork chop - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

We came for a special pre opening party and the hostesses there made us feel so welcomed.This restaurant is so beautiful! there's a ton of natural light but also has that romantic feel inside which is perfect for date night. The bar extends to the patio which is a great design idea and makes the bar a super fun place to hang with friends or with the very friendly and welcoming bartenders! Food is excellent and super fresh. Honestly, their ingredients are unmatched and everything was super flavorful! The bartender said we should get the mac and shrooms and it did not disappoint. Super Food salad with the salmon was so delicious! and the avocado toast was perfect. I can't wait for this restaurant to open in a few days this is truly a special place and even the managers all came by and all said hi. The manhattan village really needed this place! read more

i really like the food here. they have something for everyone. brunch is good as well as happy hour. its a really great burger.

Excellent food and an extensive whisky bar. Service was exceptional and ambience was great. Cocktails were tasty with unique concoctions. Will definitely be returning. read more

My first time in this place, the drinks are delicious the rye old fashions are the best specially if they are made by Shanon she is the best, the food is just as good, the calamari, the yellowfin agua chile super good Provoleta sandwich is so great, we also tried the prime steak and fries, the ambiance is super cool, the service we seat at the bar and everybody is super nice i would recommend this place 1000% if you seat at the bar and Ray, Rachel and Shanon are there you will get the best service read more

Was so excited this place finally opened! We went last week and sat at the bar. We were immediately welcomed by Janise who explained the menus and offered her drink and food suggestions. She was also training a new staff named Chelsea who was also super friendly and nice throughout the whole evening! We had a few drinks and some items off the social hour menu and loved all of it! The build your own charcuterie is always a solid choice! We had an awesome time and will be back soon! Thanks team S&S! read more

Overrated, overpriced, and not very good. I'm a chef and restaurant owner if you're gonna charge $60 for a meal, you better be very good the Caesar salad I thought it was something nasty. They have these garlic, crouton thing no crunch just a bunch of crumbs thrown on your salad and the fried chicken was very rubbery I mean extremely rubbery not enough dressing not enough lettuce, which was wilted kind of low quality then let's move onto my fish and chips. Fries were good. the fish was one huge piece, greasy and low quality fish.. so to the owners of this restaurant, you built a beautiful restaurant, but no entrance from the front was a horrible idea. I finally tried it. I could already tell it wasn't gonna be great. I didn't know it was owned by the same company that runs Lucille's barbecue, which is very successful so these guys have deep pockets. I don't think they're going anywhere but with what they're doing here in Manhattan Beach I promise you they will fail.. and that's why I'm giving you this review because I know what it's like to be there and I know what it's like to get a review like this. It could potentially help you wake you up. Get a new chef do something your food's not that good you're not gonna make it like this. The servers were friendly in the beginning then they ignored me. They were almost annoyed with my presence.. I was doing everything I can to be nice, but they didn't really care about me. Their customer service is not that good. read more

The restaurant itself has such a vibe but couldn't have been more thankful for our server, Brooke! The moment we were seated she made us feel so welcomed! Food came out quick and everything she recommended was a 10/10! Ready to come back asap! So whenever you go- request her section if possible! read more

LOVE the food here, and the ambiance is great. The short rib is the best short rib we've ever had at a restaurant. Crispy tuna appetizer really good too. read more

Drea or Andrea was an amazing bartender! Would recommend for your next food visit! Amazing food and area! Great ambiance as well!! read more

I love this place! My server Michael Santiago was the best and I really loved his recommendation of the branzino! Everything we tried was amazing I highly recommend this place I wish I could give it 6 stars :) read more

Really enjoyed my time here! Always having great food, this time I had to mention my experience with the bartender Janisea she was a really great bartender. Made really great drinks and awesome personality. Really helped make the experience that much better! read more

Went for drinks and dinner. The cocktail was great and the butternut squash hummus was really good. I ordered the wedge salad and the black truffle Mac and cheese. The salad was okay Slightly warm (I like my salads cold) and the dressing was on the salty side. The Mac and cheese was over truffled which made it smell very funky. It was also salted within an inch of its life. It was pretty much inedible. My friend liked her halibut but I didn't find my food experience enjoyable. For the money I expected better. The service was fine. He was polite but didn't ask if we wanted more drinks or dessert. He seemed to be anxious to close out the bill. read more

We came in to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and had such a wonderful experience, thanks to Rachel. We were originally seated in the main dining room, but when I realized the salmon tacos I was really looking forward to were only available on the happy hour menu, Rachel immediately stepped in. She was kind enough to move us to a booth near the bar so we could order from the happy hour menu, and I'm so glad she did, because the salmon tacos were DELICIOUS and exactly what I came for. Rachel was extremely nice, welcoming and truly went out of her way to make my anniversary special. Because of her, we'll definitely be back, and i've already started recommending this restaurant to friends and family. Great food and even better services. read more

It was 5pm Black Friday, so that may have effected the service and food here. Its a beautiful restaurant but the food was bland (Lobster Risotto) and the appetizer came out AFTER our entrees. Points for not charging us, but there are too many options in MB for us to return. read more

Service was ok, we were served but were not checked on at all after we received our food and it was 11:30am, no one was there but us. Food was ok. Nothing to write home about. The ambience was ok, it was pretty empty on a weekday read more

I am in the industry and it's so nice to find a place with exceptional bartenders. Janise is the star of this bar. She is so friendly, offers great recommendations for food, and makes me feel like I've come home. The ambience is amazing and the bar is beautiful but to be greeted and served with such grace is amazing. Janise is the reason I come back. Plus the food is amazing and the drinks... even better! read more

Saint & Second - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Listen to me. These five star reviews are absolutely made by relatives or friends. yes, this place is still fairly new, I guess, mid August, but this menu has 0 direction or flavor. Do NOT get the spicy tuna on krispy rice if you're a fan of the dish because you WILL BE disappointed - not quality. The Mac n cheese w mushroom was watery and mediocre at best. The pork chop dish was undercooked! How can you mess up calamari??!! The hostess was lovely, but it took the waitress forever to come to our table. We immediately ordered food and drinks, understanding right away that the service would be bad. Our appetizer arrived BEFORE any water or small plates were brought to the table. How is that NORMAL?!?? Unless this place Completely REVAMPS its menu it will never survive here especially being next to Joeys. read more

The bartender Janise was grade A+! Knowledgeable, personable, and really made the evening so memorable. She was fast to serve us, attentive, and just so fun to be around. I told her what I liked and she recommended an array of amazing cocktails. You can tell a lot about an establishment by the quality of the service, and she did just that. I will definitely be back. read more

We had a great time. Nice ambiance, tasty drinks, and great appetizers (specifically the spicy tuna crispy rice). Thrilled it's open! Our server, Simone, was amazing! read more

Atmosphere is great service is great very beautiful place to dine every is friendly our waitress is vey friendly and nice love the way she keeps checking up on us making sure everything is okay dunks are delicious read more

If you don't go here for their "social hour" there is something wrong with you! Hands down the best Happy Hour in the South Bay! I waited forever for this place to open and boy was it worth the wait! The restaurant is beautiful and dawns a gorgeous outside bar and seating area where you can enjoy their "social hour" menu, the wait staff was exceptional and everyone was smiling. You would think for a second day open they might have some hiccups with their menu items but the food was ON POINT! I am an oyster lover and these were the best oysters I have ever tasted, they were creamy and cleaned so well not a grain of sand in site, the taste was like and refreshing with no harsh ocean bite. The drinks were strong and worth every penny! Everything came out hot and fresh, my compliments to the chef as everything we tasted (practically the entire social hour menu) was excellent! I will absolutely be back with all of my girlfriends for our monthly gatherings! This place is going to give their neighbors a run for their money! read more

After initially booking at another restaurant for dinner on Sat night, I walked into Saint & Second on a whim to check out the menu while my bf was getting a coffee across the way. The hostess and another lady, Diana (whom I later found out is the sommelier and co-owner), were super friendly and chatted with me about the menu, and restaurant vibe in general. When I mentioned we had already booked somewhere else for the evening, they said that they had a 7:45 p.m. that had just opened up. I was so impressed with how friendly and gracious they were... that I went and got my bf, and told him I wanted to eat there for dinner that night instead. Done! We came back later and got promptly seated. We ordered the steak frites and pork chop for dinner and the parker rolls and yellowfin for apps. OMG. The parker house rolls are to die for (love me some truffle). The yellowfin is chopped, not sliced, super refreshing and has a nice kick to it. My pork chop was moist and flavorful (I can see how it might turn a vegetarian back to meat... lol). My bf said his steak was perfectly cooked (he likes medium rare... and it was bleeding just enough for him). Diana later came over to our table to greet us and chat... and even graciously comped us dessert. It makes every difference in dining experiences when you are greeted so warmly. I hate going into a restaurant where the hostesses/waiters/owners are dismissive and uppity. Not this place... everyone was incredibly nice. Our server, Maria was very pleasant. Highly recommend... we will definitely be back! read more

Great food! Great service! We been there twice for birthday celebrations. Loved the brunch; however, dinner menu is better.

The service was excellent. I had the super good salad and added chicken. It was a nice portion size - I ended up taking home almost half. We enjoyed sitting in the patio area. The tables are nicely spaced so you aren't on top of the people next to you. read more

I previously submitted a response. Service was terrible. Food order wrong and 45 minutes later! The manager came by and asked if I wanted something else. I said no and he said to get something else and take it home. He was insistent and later when I got home, he charged me for it!! I couldn't believe it! There's 4 hosts but food and beverage servers are sparse. It was super slow. I'm appalled at the response of the manager. I sent him an email and never received a response. I will never go back after this. read more

Skip it! Went here for the first time with my friend for dinner on a Thursday night recently. We didn't have reservations, so we sat on one of the couches on the patio, which was fine. Service was VERY slow. The waitress took the order of the party next to us, who came 10 minutes after us, before she took out order. We had to wave her down to give her our order because she was basically ignoring us. We had already been waiting for at least half hour. When the food came, they gave our appetizer order to the other party by mistake. They didn't realize it until the other party started eating it. The manager came out to apologize to them, but not us. We asked four different people in the 45 minutes we were there to turn on the heat lamp - nothing. So, we left. We left our drinks as they were finally bringing our food. My friend was not impressed with her cocktail, and I didn't touch my wine as I was waiting for my food and didn't want to drink on an empty stomach. We were starving and, honestly, the menu was simple and bland. Nothing notable. Overpriced menu that is pretty much the same everywhere else. So, we left and will never be coming back. Thankfully, another restaurant at the mall, with the gorgeous patio, had a table available so we had a fabulous meal there. The evening was saved, no thanks to this useless waste of space. read more

Came in last night and sat at the bar. The matchi cocktail was really good and the bartender (Janise) was super friendly. Would definitely come back to try the food next time. read more

Popped into this new restaurant for a cup of coffee as the place across the walkway didn't have any drip available. Janise and her fellow bartenders were fantastic. The service was prompt and courteous. They were on top of the refills and anything else we may have needed. Can't wait to come back to try the cocktails and food! read more

Waiter insisted he fills up my water glass. After I asked him twice not to. I have ordered Arnold Palmer and didn't need both liquids. He filled my water glass any way. In addition I ordered wedge with chicken and asked to have chopped and tossed. My salad came not chopped or tossed and he insisted that chef said it was as I ordered. The server took back salad reluctantly and never came back to see if my party of 3 was satisfied with our meals. To say the least my wedge salad was not near by likings. read more

I liked Saint & Second. I thought the food was better than their neighbor Joey (and I like Joey mb), and service was very good albeit slow in the beginning. Deceptively small inside, the place was full but not crowded. Good drinks and I recommend the salmon. read more

The service and spirits selection were great. The food was very disappointing. The lettuce wedge dressing and blue cheese has almost no taste. The onion soup was bland. The presentation of the fish and chips was great, but the fish was 2/3ds coating and little fish. The restaurant was not busy on this weeknight. Yet the Manager spent 100% of his time with one couple never checking on any other tables. I was looking forward to this dinner. Was disappointed. read more

Atmosphere was amazing, food was even better but only reason I will come back will be because Janice. She went above and beyond and definitely made sure all my needs were met. 10/10 will come back! read more

Great service and the food (everything I tried) was delicious! I can't wait to go back and try something new.

Michael Santiago was the BEST - very knowledgeable and customer service oriented!!! TY MICHAEL

We have gone here several times, and it was well appointed, and most of the servers were nice. One girl was pushy and acted snobby. It is okay to share an appetizer. Do not push dinner, especially at the bar, please. The things we shared were good, and the prices are upper but normal for a fine restaurant. We have decided to come back for their lovely Thanksgiving menu and the offerings look great. We look forward to that. read more

janise was so cool and so were the drinks! 5 star service for sure! we will be coming back very soon. the fish and chips and the aguachile were great as well read more
