Stopped by on a Friday night after dinner for some quick drinks with a big group. We were kindly seated outside and were taken of care by Harrison (the best) He made us a variety of delicious drinks and we enjoyed every single one of them. Will definitely be back, probably next weekend LOL!! Thank you Harrison!!!
The drinks here are the best in the southbay.... Since we moved to the riviera we've come here every other week. The food is great. But really I wait till I see Harrison behind the bar. He really has the best suggestions and I've found some of my favorite drinks talking to him. It's truly the south bays little hidden gem. I've taken my in laws, friends, business partners, and close compadres.
Good, but I expected a little more.. This was our first time trying this place in Redondo Beach, and honestly, I was expecting a little bit more. We came here to celebrate a few occasions. Yes, all in one as everyone is busy. Overall, it was just okay, not a bad experience by any means, but it didn't quite wow me. The food was good, especially the calamari. I think it was everyone's favorite. I had the salmon with Brussels sprouts, my husband had the prime steak, and my in-laws and daughter ordered the tuna. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and there wasn't anything we disliked. Now, the lemon drop was probably my favorite part! I really enjoyed it, although I was a little surprised that it came in such a tiny glass. I was definitely expecting a traditional martini glass. Lol! The staff: WOW! They were super nice and welcoming, which I always appreciate. The atmosphere was pleasant, and overall it was a nice dining experience. Their treatment definitely was for a fine dining! I'm giving an extra star just for them! Would I come back? Possibly. I'd say it's worth trying for yourself, especially if you're in the Redondo Beach area and want to check out somewhere new.
Really nice vibe that's ideal for chatting...not shouting. The entire staff were outstanding! We were there for Happy Hour and enjoyed both the Chardonnay and Japanese whiskey cocktail. Was pleasantly surprised by the white shrimp cocktail. Superb cook on the shrimp complimented by a house made sauce. We will definitely be back! Cheers!
Made a trek back to my old stomping to try a new spot i haven't been before. Got there right when they opened so plenty of seats available. Food wise I was not impressed with the flavors as the meat that came with the pasta was quite tough. Miso salmon was salty. The only redeeming part of my meal was the seafood platter. I had high expectations considering the rave reviews. Unfortunately this is not worth a repeat trip.
I stumbled across this restaurant on social media, and the food looked amazing, so I decided to give it a try. We arrived around 7:30-7:45 PM without a reservation and were seated within about 15 minutes. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and we decided to sit inside. The atmosphere was nice, and both our waitress and waiter were friendly and helpful. Overall, I thought the service was great. For drinks, I ordered the Karate Kid, upgraded with the handcrafted ice cube and smoked, and the White Lotus. The Karate Kid was excellent--very smooth and well balanced, and definitely my favorite of the 2. Unfortunately, the White Lotus was pretty underwhelming. It tasted like a watered-down sour drink, and I could barely taste the alcohol. We started with the Peruvian scallops and BBQ oysters. The scallops were one of the highlights of the night. They were served with a mango cube in each, which added a refreshing sweetness that paired surprisingly well with the scallops. The BBQ oysters, on the other hand, weren't really for me. The sauce and seasoning overpowered the natural flavor of the oysters, and I personally prefer preparations that allow the oyster itself to be the star. For our entrees, we ordered the short rib pappardelle, king crab roll, and New York strip. The short rib pappardelle was easily my favorite dish of the night. The short rib was incredibly tender, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were rich without being overwhelming. Everything complemented each other really well. The New York strip was slightly more cooked than I would have preferred and a little salty, but it was still enjoyable. The king crab roll was decent, although I found it somewhat bland and wished it had a little more flavor. Overall, I had a really enjoyable experience. There were a few hits and misses, but the dishes that stood out were excellent, the service was great, and I thought the pricing was very reasonable for the overall experience. I would definitely come back and try more of the menu.
Really great food! The hostess was able to accommodate our change in party size and let us dine outside which was very kind. I ordered from the prix fixe menu and had the clam chowder, steak and prawns, and cheesecake. The chowder was fantastic, would definitely order again. There were clams and a mussel in there still with their opened shells and lots of tasty broth. Quite filling for an appetizer. The steak was good and the prawns were just okay - maybe a little overcooked. The cheesecake brûlée stole the show!! Would definitely eat again in a heartbeat.
My friend and I were traveling from Corona and Loma Linda to this Halloween event in Palos Verdes and we did not know what to have for dinner. We came across this restaurant online and the food looked delicious! As we arrived there, we absolutely the ambience of the restaurant. The staff were super friendly, including our server, Harrison. We ordered Clam Chowder, their famous lobster roll, scalloped potatoes, and calamari. The food exceeded our expectations! Every single thing we ordered was delicious! The manager, Max, also took the time to talk to us and tell us the history about their restaurant. They were even kind enough to pay for our dessert I would definitely recommend this restaurant to all my loved ones or anyone I knew. I will definitely be coming back here again! Thank you so much guys!
We came here on a weeknight looking for a late dinner in South Redondo. They were busy but we fortunately got a table for two without reservations. My daughter and I shared the Caesar Salad and Chicken Paillard. The salad was good. I added the smoked fish which had a slightly sweet taste so it was not my daughter's favorite. The Chicken Paillard was amazing! The jidori chicken is very juicy but the sauce takes it to another level. I would order that dish again. Their staff is very nice and helpful. The server who kept refilling our drinks recommended we order french fries to dip into the chicken paillard sauce since we raved about it. That was a good suggestion since we were sharing the dish. Overall, this restaurant was just our style. It is cozy but elevated, the staff is attentive, and the food and wine are delicious.
Short Rib Pappardelle is a must try. It came out super hot too btw, but our waiter said this dish was his favorite out of the entire place. Definitely lived up to his hype. The portion size of this was also solid and I definitely had to get a box for mine. My wife got the salmon and said it was also excellent. The service was really good too - our waiter was very nice/ efficient, food and drinks came out at a good cadence and even the hostess thanked us as we left. It's got a cool vibe in there too. Two giant large screens with basketball and baseball going on near the bar. Lots of couples eating here and decorated with a trendy ambiance.
The service is top notch! There is always someone checking on you and refilling your water. I was even given some flowers for our date night. Drinks were pretty and yummy. We had Peruvian scallops and only ordered six but I could have eaten lots more. Tomahawk steak and scalloped potatoes were cooked perfectly and so so good.
Was headed to my first Beachlife Festival but wanted to get a drink (fine, fine, maybe a couple) and some food. Which leads me to trusty Yelp. I haven't been to Riviera Village in years since I had a bf who lived in Redondo but had always loved this part of Redondo as I think it's pretty mellow. My things have changed but still mellow compared to other beach cities. Sat at the bar where I was served by the most knowledgeable bartender ever - Kenneth! Cocktails were great as was the smash burger. Will definitely go back if in the area. Cool spot!
Location is great. The decor is beautiful. Street parking available (4hr parking limit). Staff were super friendly. We came in on a Saturday night. Party of 5. The table we sat at was in a good location. The waiter came in right away to take our drinks and appetizers orders. We waited maybe 15-20mins for the food. Everything tasted wonderfully. My favorite item was the Portobello fries and the sauce it came with. You must try it! It was actually a hit at the table. I had the clams, which are from Washington. The dish was delicious and I enjoyed it very much. It has some tomato like sauce with chorizo hints. It comes with a side of bread to dip in the sauce. It had a very mild hint of spicy. My nose was definitely runny but my taste buds were alive. Unfortunately, as much as I enjoyed the clams, I didn't follow the rule to not eat clams on month that does not end with "er". After I got home, about an hour after eating I was sick and returned the clams to the sewer :/ so I will not be having them again, at least not until after September. The key lime pie was also not the best, I think the chocolate mousse was much better in terms of flavor. Overall, I will definitely stop by again when in the area.

The food here is delicious and they have a great happy hour! The restaurant is beautiful with plenty of seating. Service was wonderful, so friendly and welcoming. We sampled our way through their happy hour menu and one item was more delicious than the next! The prices are extremely fair, the food was made to order quickly and presented beautifully. Also, very kid, friendly, there is something for everyone here. Located just the steps from the beach, this is a wonderful option for dinner in the area, highly recommended! read more
We came here for an early lunch and enjoyed our service and cocktail drinks. We ordered the Seafood Roll with King Crab, Raw Oysters, Peruvian scallops, Fish&Chips, Clam with Chirizo, Beet Salad, Wasabi Slaw and Caesar Salad. We really enjoyed the Roll, Oysters, Fish&Chips and all the salads. Would recommend! Peruvian scallops are one of my favorite things and I was underwhelmed with the flavor of their preparation. Another miss was the clams. Flavors were spot on but the clams themselves had a mushy consistency. I mentioned it to the bartender and he didn't seem to want to address it. Overall a nice place but I'd skip the last two dishes mentioned above. read more
One of my favorites in the South Bay. Relatively new. It's a smaller space with a nice ambience. My bf and I love the scallops and oysters here. Ribeye was also really good. We tried the crab claw and it was good but for $7 each we didn't really think they were worth it as they are tiny. One time we got the clam chowder and it was amazing and the last time we went it was watery and tasted like tap water so idk if they changed the recipe. Cocktails are pretty good as well. Bartender will adjust your drink if needed. Cute date night spot. read more

My husband and I walked by here and saw their prime rib deal on Mondays - $25 for a 10 oz with horseradish and au jus sauce....what a deal! We were also there during happy hour which was awesome; some of the sides we wanted was on it! We got two prime rib cooked medium rare, brussel sprouts ($7), wasabi slaw ($5), and scalloped potatoes ($12 not on the happy hour menu). The meat was cooked perfectly with not much fat on it. The skin was peppery and flavorful and the meat was juicy. I wish the horseradish had more heat to it but understand not everyone may like it that way. My favorite sides was the potatoes and slaw. The potatoes came to us looking like a slice of cake - thick and super buttery. I know they say there's garlic, jalapenos and cheddar in it but the butter reigned supreme. I didn't taste any wasabi in the slaw, but it felt refreshing after eating the heavy potatoes and meat. I couldn't taste the gochujang in the potatoes, but I could taste the bacon! That was delicious. Service was fast - There was only one other table being waited on when we went. Our waters were filled consistently and finished plates were taken away promptly. The space has an "outdoor" area that was blocked off during the day. Perhaps in summer when its warmer they'll open the whole place up? Parking is up and down the street and all metered. read more
We came to Salt & Pearl to celebrate my 50th birthday, and I can honestly say it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. After reading reviews, I came specifically for the Fish & Chips, and they absolutely delivered. But before I get to that, the service deserves a shout-out. From the hostess who greeted us to our server throughout the meal, everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great experience. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly cooked and disappeared fast. Then came the Fish & Chips. The fish was crispy, golden brown, and cooked perfectly. What really surprised me was the portion size. These weren't little pieces of fish hiding under a pile of fries--they were massive pieces of cod. My wife and I couldn't stop laughing at how much fish they served. To top it all off, we shared the key lime pie, and it was outstanding. Smooth, creamy, and the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, parking was easy with plenty of paid options nearby, and every part of the experience felt polished without feeling pretentious. Finding a restaurant that nails the food, service, and overall experience isn't always easy, but Salt & Pearl checked every box for us. Safe to say we've already found a reason to come back. Pro tip: If you're ordering the Fish & Chips, come hungry. Those cod portions are no joke. read more
Indoor and outdoor seating in this beach town made for such a relaxing evening. This place is consistently good every time we come! We started with raw oysters -- super fresh and buttery, absolutely delicious. The garlic parm Shrimp Focaccia was so flavorful and savory, and the Prime Rib (on a Monday!) was only $26.99 -- what a deal! Service was amazing from start to finish -- the hostess, waiter, and busser were all on point and friendly. Definitely one of our favorite go-to spots by the beach! read more
I had a very welcoming and nice experience as an 11:30am weekday Monday opening patron coming for the Monday Prime Rib served all day. Because it's Prime Rib and does take a long time to slow roast and cook, when I arrived, it was already ready to be served. They prepare it before opening. You know you're not getting "yesterday's leftovers" so to speak because they only offer Prime Rib on Monday. On Tuesday they do offer a french dip prime rib sandwich which they admit are limited to the remnants of Monday's Prime Rib and/or prepares on Monday in anticipation for Tuesday. It sounds like it's worth trying out on Tuesdays. The Monday Prime Rib is 10oz in size/weight and has minimal fat and in fact it's all edible, no tendons or bones either. It comes with nothing, no sides, so after tax and tip you're around $30 I'd recommend this and have it medium rare. It's herb crusted and tender. Parking is easy and there's free with unlimited no time limits (other than watch out for Street Cleaning days) if you're willing to walk. The service as friendly and fast. Because I ordered the Prime Rib and all they needed to do was carve a slice, my meal was served fresh and fast and it only took 30 minutes to dine. read more

Max and Mat were awesome during our visit. This was our second time here and we came on a Wednesday so we took advantage of the $42 meal. It was perfect. We ordered extra items that were not included in the pre fixe menu. The oysters, wasabi slaw, and focaccia bread were added to our dinner special. We were definitely satisfied with our meal. Ambiance was nice, with your average noise. Thank you for this wonderful meal. We're definitely coming back. read more

no notes! great service, cocktails, and food. Lily is a great server - super helpful, attentive at the tight moments, not pushy. Bartender was great and also very friendly, Gimlet was perfectly balanced citrus Cremant Brut was fantastic - a great value! Took advantage of the S&P Th night special for food and was very pleased. Ceasar Salad - delicious. great balance of dressing to lettuce. croutons a tad salty Seared Albacore - surprising amount of spice but very good, Creme Brulee Cheescake - such a nice, light cheesecake slice! read more
Fabulous experience! I never venture to this part of Redondo (almost Torrance) but zero regrets. We tried both the crab roll (Connecticut style) and the lobster roll (Connecticut style and added the caviar and crème fraiche). Personally, the crab was my favorite but the rest of the table preferred the lobster, so who's to say except that both were delicious! We also tried the tiger hamachi - solid flavors! The bread and garlic butter were filling and the oysters were fresh! The horseradish did the trick, delivering what felt like a shot of Novocain to the nose. Crème brûlée cheesecake also a showstopper. The service was top notch, super helpful and polite. The ambience is cute, perfect date spot or just catching up with old friends. We'll definitely go back! read more

So boom -- I was assigned the very serious responsibility of finding a dinner spot for my Nana's birthday. No pressure, right? I had bookmarked this place a while back, so it was finally its time to shine We sat outside (brave, I know), but the heaters were working like they were trying to get into heaven. Amen. Now let's talk about the main event: the food. I ordered the shrimp Caesar salad. Nana got the fish & chips (and she wasn't the biggest fan), My mom had the miso salmon, my aunt went for the short rib pasta, her girlfriend also got the miso salmon -- but upgraded with Brussels sprouts -- and my uncle ordered the seafood roll. We also started with calamari, fries, and drinks because we believe in abundance. Let me tell you: everything on that table did NOT stand a chance. The service- Attentive, accommodating, and patient with our "let's add one more thing" energy. If you're in the area, show them some love. I already have plans to come back for that short rib pasta!! P.S. Meter parking is available. read more
Salt & Pearl is very, very good. I am writing this as an updated review. My earlier review can be found below. As you will see, I was torn about writing it and decided to go back to Salt & Pearl for dinner to give it another try. In retrospect, I probably jumped the gun on my first review. Food: I ordered oysters, Peruvian scallops, and wild Mexican white shrimp from the Crudo & Raw Bar menu as an appetizer, and the Maine seafood roll as my entree. The oysters were smaller East Coast oysters, and were fresh with a little bit of salinity and minerality that you get with East Coast oysters. The Peruvian scallops were also fresh and tasty. The menu says they are prepared in a habanero confit with toasted coconut, mango, and micro cilantro. I did not notice any heat from the habanero confit, but I found the shredded coconut to be a great complement to the scallops (providing some nice textural difference) and the mango added a touch of sweetness and acidity. (Note - The scallops are small, but again, very tasty.) My scallops did not come with an micro cilantro. The shrimp were good, but just a touched overcooked (shaped more like an O than a C and somewhat firm). However, I did like the brushed on olive oil with herbs, and the cocktail sauce was flavorful. Overall, the oysters, scallops, and shrimp were very satisfying. The star of the meal was the Maine seafood roll. You can choose to have either lobster or king crab. I chose lobster. It came with a generous portion of lobster, and the bread was nice and soft. The lobster was served in a nice, creamy mayonnaise sauce ... delicious. Maine lobster rolls are served cold and typically prepared with mayonnaise and celery (in contrast to the Connecticut lobster roll which is served warm and covered in butter ... which Salt & Pearl also offers). I didn't really notice the celery, and the mayonnaise sauce is generous. So if you like your Maine lobster roll to be creamy, then Salt & Pearl is for you. Service: I sat at the bar, and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. Bottom Line: I previously gave Salt & Pearl three stars. I am revising that to five stars. The oysters were good. The shrimp was okay. But the scallops and Maine seafood roll were great. *** PRIOR REVIEW *** I was torn about whether I should write this review. I visited Salt & Pearl over a year ago and ordered scallops and the fish and chips, which I vaguely recall as being very good. But I recently visited again for their brunch and was somewhat underwhelmed. So this review is just for my brunch experience. I will be visiting again soon for dinner and will update this accordingly. Food: I ordered their the eggs and smoked fish toast from the brunch menu. It was a simple dish of house-smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, and fried arugula on two pieces of buttered toast. The salmon had a hint of miso flavor and was plated as small chunks on the toast. I was hoping for something like gravlax (salt cured salmon with dill), but that was my misunderstanding and not theirs. The eggs were prepared American style (firmer compared to the custardy French style). The fried arugula was a nice touch, but served more like a garnish than a main component of the dish. Overall, the dish tasted fine, not great but also not bad. It was a little difficult to eat because both the salmon and eggs were in smaller pieces which fell off the toast. Service: My server was friendly and attentive. Bottom Like: I thought the eggs and smoked salmon toast was okay. Again, I am torn to write a review based on a single dish and will update when I visited again. read more

Stopped by for a quick happy hour and was greeted with excellent service and amazing ambiance. I started with a lovely house margarita & seared albacore for appetizer. The albacore was well cooked but could lacked flavor. I had the seafood chowder which absolutely hit the spot and fulfilled my seafood craving. Would definitely come back with friends or family. read more
DIVINE! We received a gift card over the holidays for this place. Passed by it so many times going to the other restaurants and am sad I've been missing out in this gem! We had 7:15 reservation, it was initially out in their heated patio but since it was raining I called to be placed inside. They accommodated us with no issues. Service was great! We had multiple staff come up and offer suggestions. The table next to us suggested the Garlic Shrimp (they got another one to go!).. SOO GOOD! I could've just ate that. It was heavenly and a MUST TRY. Miso Salmon was the best salmon dish I've had. The pairing of everything was delicious. The lobster Mac and cheese had plenty of lobster. The albacore was also tasty but would not re order. The vibe was very chill and romantic. Definitely a great date night or small group celebration spot. read more
The design and ambiance of the place was very modern and felt like a cozy library of a big home type feel. It was very nice architectural design. The lighting design was a nice touch for the beach theme, it felt unique to be seated in that space. The patio outdoor dining was close to the bar and a nice area to view passersby. The food was also delicious. The happy hour menu was priced very well and reasonable with great drinks and food to sample. We had the skewers and the hamachi which were cooked just right. An overall satisfying experience. Recommended for those visiting by the riviera in Redondo Beach. read more

There are many eateries on S Catalina Avenue in Redondo Beach. This one is slightly higher end and pricier than many other others, but they offer a great quality food and excellent service. We came for a pre-concert dinner and had time limitations, but they accommodated us extremely well. The grilled salmon was one of the best I have tasted; and it looked as nice as it tasted. I also ordered their seafood roll, and I chose the king crab, which was decent, but it was kind of a small roll. The restaurants very small and half of the seatings are out on the street. But it does have that beach town relaxed that classy atmosphere. I think it would be a very nice place for drinks as well. read more

In Riviera Village this place is small but does a great job with their food. Service was good and there is an outside heated patio. Loved the portobello fries and the calamari. Had the short rib pasta which was huge and fall off the bone tender. The New York was a surprise. Perfectly cooked and sliced with Cajun butter. Will definitely come back to try more things. read more

What is the noise level here?
It's pretty high at peak times ..we ask to be seated in first row of tables on the inside patio. Closest to sidewalk. Place is great food and service. But noise makes conversation difficult. 😀
