    Corned Beef Hash & Eggs
    Linda C.

    For over a year my gals and I have been saying we were going to make it here and finally did. Parking garage is tucked in the just south of the restaurant. They have seating on the patio and inside with both tables and booths or at the bar. The decor is fun with bright vibrant colors and picturesque walls. Food was decent, though basic and (see picture of Truffle Fries, they should have spent a few more seconds in the fryer to get at least a little golden and have some crispiness rather than blanched and lackluster). The Machaca Scramble was the most flavorful and best tasting dish we had at our table as the corned beef hash and eggs were standard (not bad but nothing to Yelp rave about). By far the best part was the Bottomless Mimosas which are offered everyday, not just on the weekends! Big bonus! Our server was attentive and had a happy disposition. I felt Serendipity has so much great potential, between the decor, service and bottomless mimosas I'd imagine they would have more birthdays or group celebrations going on, especially for such a large space. But the vibe was a bit off with the low playing Spanish music, I would imagine if they had more pop music or upbeat music to fit the vibe of the place they'd have more of a fun vibe. Not that there is anything wrong with Spanish music, it just wasn't jiving with the vibe of the place and was so low and not so up beat (romantic Spanish ballads were playing). The laminated menus also gave an old diner vibe instead of trendy "serendipity" vibe. I'll still come back to see if they can match the vibe to the decor and try a few other menu items, but I do hope they up the ambiance. And get that extra star status!

    The Galon or Fabulous Mimosa
    Zoe C.

    A new local restaurant Serendipity, is located on the outskirts of Redondo Beach. The food is a common breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Decoration is simply nothing fancy. Our breakfast was good. One thing is certain: this place was nothing special; it's simple food. We did order the spectacular Mimosa for 4 people. It was large. The bad thing is that the glass is full of ice and the Mimosas got watered down, too much. Today Sunday they had a Duet playing music a nice touch, if you're sitting in the back music is hard to hear. My favorite was the Mimosa. Should try it.

    Texas Style Omelet

    Went to Serendipity, had breakfast for dinner... Absolutely Delish The restaurant is beautiful inside and the staff is friendly & well trained! The omelet was delicious, one of the best I've had in the South Bay... That says a lot since there are some other amazing restaurants around!

    another amazing drop-in at Serendipity! I met my grandmother and aunt there for brunch, and as always, it didn't disappoint. I decided to try something new and ordered the spicy brisket omelette. I'd give it 4 stars -- the flavors were great, but I was hoping for a bit more heat. Of course, it came with their signature pancakes, which I absolutely love. My grandmother ordered the pork chops, and my aunt went with the classic French toast. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Looking forward to our next visit!

    This restaurant is large and bright with tons of seating. It took over the last restaurant that was here, Ortega 120. The outdoor patio is covered, so it doesn't feel like you're eating outdoors. It's wait to be seated, but the host/hostess asks where you want to sit. The first time I visited, I sat at the corner table indoors. The second time I visited, I sat in the outdoor patio. The food tastes pretty good and healthy. I had the vegetarian omelette on my first visit and egg white omelette, turkey bacon, and fresh fruit on my second. On both occasions, I was happy with my food. The staff are friendly and efficient. The restaurant, along with the other businesses next to it share their own free, covered parking lot. There is plenty of parking.

    Hash browns and bacon

    Great place for breakfast or brunch. thoroughly enjoyed every bite of my meal! I had the French Toast along with a couple of mimosas--everything was delicious. Omelette was pretty good.Given the quality, the prices are very reasonable. It's a great spot for a relaxed family breakfast, and there's plenty of space for larger groups as well. The service was excellent--friendly, efficient, and welcoming. I can't wait to come back and would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal. Highly recommended! **** had a great time overall, but unfortunately, something very disappointing happened that I can't ignore. After finishing our meal, we stepped out of the restaurant for a few minutes and realized I had left a wrapped gift--my son's gift--at our table. We were gone no more than five minutes. When we returned to retrieve it, the gift had been taken. I asked the bartender for help, and thankfully, a staff member brought it out. However, to my shock, the gift had been opened--the box was torn, and the wrapping was no longer intact. I truly don't understand how or why someone would open a personal gift left unattended for such a short time. This incident really put a damper on what had been an enjoyable experience. While the food and atmosphere were great, this situation was very upsetting. It turned what could have been a 4-star visit into a 2-star one for me, especially as it was my first time dining here. I hope the management takes this seriously, as it raises concerns about respect for guests' belongings.

    Father's Day menu (2025)
    Adriana M.

    I was in town on my own and wanted some breakfast, so Yelp helped me find this place. I got a Greek omelette with a side of pancakes, and it was very good. It's Father's Day so they had a specific menu and the place was really decked out and decorated for the holiday. I was alone so I sat at the bar. Pros: The portions were VERY large. I easily could've shared this one breakfast item with someone else. As it was I took half of it home for later. The omelette was original - not your every day experience. The ingredients tasted fresh and were a nice combo. It needed a little salt (at least for my taste), but I'd always rather add salt than have something that's too salty where that's the only flavor. The pancakes were thick and fluffy, and definitely better than other restaurant pancakes that I've had. I loved that they have convenient, covered parking for free! The service was friendly and the food came out in a reasonable time given that it was a busy holiday. Cons: It's very busy and loud... it's a family-friendly restaurant but the vibe feels like a club at the same time. Great if you're looking for lively and fun, not great if you're actually wanting to talk to people in your group. I would never take my dad here for a Father's Day breakfast, but for a graduation party it would be great. The seats at the bar are very uncomfortable. Soft but tight and a very short length for your thighs. I'm not a tall person but if I were, I couldn't have sat longer than 10 minutes in that seat. I was there at 11am, and there was an older gentleman down the bar who started talking to me. He was CLEARLY hammered drunk, slurring his words and bleary-eyed. I'm easy going so I humored him and went about paying my bill. But to my horror, I saw him leaving the restaurant for the garage only minutes after I did. He was SO DRUNK that he was unstable walking, and he was heading towards a car! To DRIVE!! HE had definitely been drinking at the bar and by his level of intoxication it couldn't have been for only one drink. I think he was over-served...There is no way that guy should've been allowed to buy his last drink for his safety and that of those around him. I got out of there as fast as I could to avoid being anywhere on the road with this accident-waiting-to-happen. Note: I had looked at other pictures of the menu that had lower prices, so I was a little surprised that the omelette was $23. So I don't know if that was just new inflation prices, or if things were a little pricier for the Fathers Day holiday. Overall it was a good experience and I wouldn't mind going there again. The lunch and dinner options looked tasty

    We went for brunch in a Sunday around 12 pm. It was not busy at all. And we were able to have a table for 6 easily! They had live music!!!! I'm surprised this place isn't more popular. They have good brunch choices everything tasted good. I got the Machaka, and i got it with hash brown AND you get to choose between toast OR pancakes!!! So of course I got the pancakes they were really good. And the places were huge the cafe latte was also really good.

    Such a cute restaurant! Food for ladies celebrationz Brunch menu was good. Service was also good.

    Brisket salad
    Alexis C.

    The food was just alright in my opinion. The dressing was solid and the produce was good, but honestly the brisket fell flat for me. Everything else was solid though, our server was really nice and we ate out on the patio so vibes were nice. Probably won't be back anytime soon.

    Greek omelette
    Leslie C.

    We always see this place when we go to dinner next door. Have seen some great reviews on Instagram so we decided to go there for breakfast on a Friday morning. The inside is very nicely decorated and wasn't too busy when we got there as we were between the breakfast and lunch rush. Our server was friendly and efficient. Menu offers a lot of variety and you can order breakfast or lunch all day. We opted for the corn beef hash combo with pancakes, and the Greek omelette, which was very flavorful with the perfect balance of spinach, olives, tomatoes, feta cheese, etc. The corn beef hash, unfortunately, was dry and salty and the pancakes were just OK. Prices are reasonable, willing to come back to try some of the lunch items

    Texas Style Omelette was terrible
    Leo H.

    The location is nice, giving diners a nice patio view of cars cruising PCH even though some of those same cars can be quite loud. Unfortunately, the food is not good, not quite on the same level as what you might find at a workplace cafeteria. Everything looked fine at first, but the omelette gave the impression it had been sitting for some time, with eggs that were gritty and cheese that had hardened. The turkey club offered generous servings of meat but didn't offer much else. The servers didn't bring extra napkins after repeated requests, and seemed overwhelmed by how busy it was on the Sunday morning I visited.

    Heather M.

    Popped in here for lunch , the restaurant was really cute and has a wide open space layout. María sat us down and was also our waitress, she was amazing and attentive We ordered the Basil Smash and Espresso Martini and both were excellent . We ordered a couple entrees off the happy hour menu Chicken sandwhich / chips ahi Poke Nachos Philly cheesesteak with salad Brisket sandwhich / chips All of the food was really good , and we were checked on several times They were playing music , but it wasn't soo loud so we were able to talk and catch up the whole time Will Definitely be back.

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.
