Located 2 blocks from the sand, it's a great spot to brunch then hit the beach! AMBIANCE Walked in for $25 bottomless mimosa brunch on a Saturday morning and was informed the rooftop was booked for reservations only. We opted to sit outside rather than inside, and it was nice. SERVICE Best part of the brunch! We were greeted warmly by both server and manager. They offered recommendations and both checked up on us throughout our meal. FOOD Everything was 3/5 Thick cut bacon - served with jam and shishito peppers. It was indeed thick and visually appealing, however, it was soo dry I had to saw through it with a knife. Breakfast bowl - pretty basic brunch bowl, good portion of brisket. Brisket grilled cheese w/ fries - very rich and decadent, brisket was good Overall, I like how it's a mile from Hermosa pier so it's more quiet and enjoyable, yet very close to the beach. I want to come back to try their dinner at sunset! read more

Slay hermosa is outstanding! I had my birthday brunch here and they were very accommodating to my large group. Their bottomless mimosa price can't be beat!! $25/pp with a 2hr limit and it does not require full table participation which is great for those who don't drink. The food is so delicious. I shared their large pancake with friends and it was so buttery and perfectly sweet. I also had the breakfast bowl which was super flavorful and filling!! Overall, this is the best place to go when you're having a brunch or catching up with friends and want to be near the beach. Highly recommend everyone try it out :) read more

Well guys I'm back at my #1 brunch spot whenever I'm in town. Slay is such an amazing spot to chill and enjoy an excellent variety menu all superbly cooked to perfection. Their chef is really good, one of the best. Same quality same taste every time I've been there. I had the chicken breast on brioche and fries that taste like McDonald's did when I was a kid, my son had Avocado toast with smoked salmon (look at that plate), and his wife had the American breakfast and she crushed her's as well. The manager Tony is so friendly, knowledgeable, and excellent host, very people oriented, thanks Tony it's always a pleasure to see you when I'm in town. Finally I have to say that the vibe at slay is tranquil and an excellent hideaway especially dining on their upstairs covered deck with beautiful ocean views. Again, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SLAY read more

What a cute and cozy restaurant. We were able to take advantage of their 3 course prime rib special (available on Sundays until they are sold out). Staff were friendly and helpful, and the upstairs patio was so comfortable. Literally less than a block from the beach and plenty of parking. If ever in the area, will be back to dine here! read more

Best spot in the South Bay to get bottomless mimosas. Great service and an equally friendly opportunity owner, I'd add to your list and most definitely get your reservations in. All the food was great and we sampled a variety. Recommend the Open Faced Omelet and the Chilaquiles! read more

We were the first people in on a rainy Sunday Morning. Tatum was our server, very warm and welcoming. It's a cute small space, tastefully and comfortably decorated. We started with the cinnamon roll which was fluffy warm and sweet, calamari was savory and crispy. Both 10-10..... that that I want to eat calamari and cinnamon rolls together...but when at Slay.... SLAY. I had the lobster Benedict and it was scrumptious. The side salad was actually one of my favorite parts, crazy good dressing. I had a bite of everyone else's dish. The Steak Sandwich- so savory and the fries were perfectly fried The brioche fresh toast literally melted in your mouth like butter. The bowl was harmonious flavors of all the yummy breakfast things. My coffee was so strong, I just had one cup. They served birthday ice cream at then which we all shared. My mother in law had a great birthday brunch. read more

I'm always looking for someplace new to have brunch. This restaurant is usually open at night, but open for brunch on the weekends. They have a small outdoor patio dining area. This is where I chose to dine because when I went inside to be seated, the place looked really small and crowded. I could barely even open the door to step in. I liked the table I was seated at outdoors, but the strangest occurrence was when the cook or one of the cooks walked in late to work, past my table. I'm glad I wasn't seated at the first table. Otherwise, everyone seated outdoors would be passing my table. Needless to say, unusual restaurant layout. My food and drink weren't bad. I can imagine how crowded and busy this place gets in the evening. Parking: Metered, street parking. read more

The Baseline: For a sit down upper-scale restaurant is the quality of the food, existence of any unique offerings, quality of the service, and ambiance of the overall dining experience. Food: There was not a single dish that we had at Slay Hermosa that wasn't great. Appetizers were the Fried Calamari and Watermelon Salad and wow to the salad. The Watermelon salad had an incredible white vinaigrette and tajin spice. Get this salad! The Double Smash burger was a solid burger. The entree star was the Pork Chop that was cooked perfectly and the bed of sweet corn risotto made it wonderful. For the finish was the Butter Cake that was warm and dense like I love it. Mixed with the ice cream with berry drizzle and my Cafe au Lait it was a perfect ender to the meal. Service: Fantastic top notch service that covered us for our visit. We were always asked at the right time if we needed anything. Also we got the best suggestions from our waiter. Ambiance: Hermosa Beach on a rooftop dining area right at sunset... perfect time to dine and all will be fine. Great setting for a great meal. Didn't use the restroom but it was getting cleaned when I left. The dining area was clean and the restaurant while compartmentalized is very serviceable. read more

We celebrated a birthday with brunch at Slay Hermosa today. From the moment we entered the restaurant, we felt welcomed and were treated like valued guests. We were seated upstairs on their covered rooftop. Our group ordered several appetizers to share and individual dishes. My husband enjoyed his lobster Benedict, which had a generous amount of lobster. I wish I had ordered that after seeing it. Their pancake that we ordered was huge and delicious. I ordered the vegan kale and mushroom ravioli. It was good, but I'd try something else the next time. Our server was attentive and was quick to exchange plates and utensils as we needed them. Metered street parking was easy to find on a Sunday morning and a walk on the beach was just minutes away. I'm looking forward to returning for dinner in the near future. read more

So amazing! One of our family favorites!! I love the seating and atmosphere. The sole is some of the best fish I have ever tasted. Which is saying a lot because I would count myself a fish connoisseur. The people are always so nice and the restaurant is never overly crowded, but is always filled with friendly people. The roof top seating is very pretty with an amazing sunlit ocean view. All the slays are amazing but slay Hermosa is special. read more

Great experience. Fantastic service and amazing tasting food. Our whole table was making "yum" noises when trying our dishes. Four of us went in for Sunday Brunch and ordered from the breakfast/lunch menu. We ordered the Calamari, Vermont Maple Cinnamon Roll, Breakfast Bowl, Lobster Benedict, Broiche French Toast and Slay Steak Sandwich. The food did not disappoint. The front of house staff were great and provided excellent service. Checked on us on a regular basis; Cleared plates when we done; Made sure our drinks were filled. It was a great dining experience. The interior eating area we were at was smaller than I expected but it was very nicely decorated. Very chill but fancy vibe, perfect for Hermosa. They was an upstairs eating area that I didn't check out. The restrooms were very clean and nicely decorated. read more

We sat on their rooftop. It was a beautiful and sunny day but their roof deck was fully covered unfortunately. It would have been nice to let some sunlight in. The food was good. The burrata is served on top of a portobello mushroom, I had never tried this combination before but it works really well. Their omelettes were pretty good too. I really wanted to try the breakfast bowl but they ran out unfortunately. I'll have to come back and give it a try read more

Menu is awesome. This is for me personally, every single item on that menu is really perfect for my style of eating. I like small ish shareable tasty bites and these were perfect portions for that and all are delicious. Service is great though it can be busy for weekend brunches. I've never dined downstairs but their upper deck is charming and shaded. Can't wait to go back. read more

We often walk here for brunch and dinner from our house and I'm forever thankful that they're so close to us! Parking is non- existent if you have a car as most of the parking on the streets are either permitted residential parking only or metered. However, if you are lucky to win a spot - you're in for a treat! Service is prompt and friendly. We like to sit upstairs if it's just my husband and our daughter but if we have family then we like to sit downstairs and as it's more intimate and my parents are usually always cold outside. When I go with my girlfriends we like to sit outside. For dinner we usually get the Caesar salad or the chopped salad. I prefer the chopped salad. Occasionally, we'd get the calamari. These are our regulars : Pork chop Filet of Sole Steak sandwich Seafood Stew My 5 year old likes their burger OR their kale and mushroom ravioli. Yes, I know , they're polar opposites. . Great place to hang out or grab a nice and relaxing meal by the beach. Cheers! read more

Amazing experience tonight on the uppermost level of seating. Beautifully set up with several slivers of an ocean view. Tatum went above and beyond answering all of our questions and making sure we had everything we needed. Ordered the absolutely delicious Grilled Peaches and Burrata...with pistachios, a hint of mint and a delectable honey drizzle. This dish was so good and exemplified summer on so many levels!! We also ordered a side of the very fragrant corn risotto which was elevated with fresh herbs. My friend ordered the scallops which she said were some of the best she'd had. We got an order of the Parker House rolls which we truly didn't need but were delicious nonetheless. Overall this was a relaxing and memorable meal! So glad we had a chance to stop in! Thanks Tatum for your patience and the great service! read more

We chose Slay Hermosa for our Galentine's Brunch and it was absolutely amazing. On Saturdays and Sundays, you can sip unlimited mimosas for $25 (with a two-hour limit), and you get the whole bottle at the table. We chose orange and guava juice to mix with. We started with the thick-cut bacon appetizer, and it was delicious. The thick cut, fatty bacon paired with sweet strawberry jam and fried shishito peppers was a unique combination. For my entree, I went with the brisket grilled cheese, loaded with havarti, yellow cheddar, and that same delicious strawberry jam. While the brisket could have used a bit more seasoning, there was a great amount of cheese, and the flavors still worked well together. The fries were crispy, golden perfection with just the right amount of salt. The service was excellent. The staff was beyond accommodating, giving us an extra table just for our Galentine's gifts, taking photos for us, and making sure we had everything we needed the entire time. Slay Hermosa is right across from the beautiful Hermosa Beach. After brunch, we took a stroll to enjoy the ocean views--a perfect ending to a great brunch experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

Relaxed brunch spot, not busy on a saturday morning when all the other spots nearby are packed. Food is average so I would've given it 3/5 but the service makes up for the lost stars! Not bad but definitely underseasoned, needed lots of salsa to compensate. Staff is very friendly and attentive though! read more

We have eaten at Slay Manhattan Beach several times but never at Hermosa before last night. This is such a charming, welcoming, warm vibe of a restaurant. Service is outstanding and I was very excited to learn that the same group also owns Bottle Inn and Martha's-two of my favorite Hermosa restaurants!!! Let's start with cocktails, because of, course we did! We enjoyed the Red Sangria, full of fresh fruit and robust taste. My friend had the sangria and it was all I could do to keep my hands out of all of the fruit at the bottom! We also had the Sparkling Raspberry Martini. This was the most refreshing martini that I've enjoyed in a long time. It's made with kir red, prosecco, fresh raspberries and a sugar rim-easily the star of the cocktail menu! Our beer choice was Modelo and was thoroughly enjoyed. Food-there was a lot of it because we can never order enough, and we're glad we did! We had to try the Bacon Wrapped Scallops-with capecod wildflower honey and mustard-over the top-perfectly cooked and delicious! Next we had the Lamb Meatballs-herb jus, spinach, and oregano feta cheese. We also had the Parker House Rolls with soft herb butter, and the Ahi Tuna Stack. The tuna was so fresh and served with cucumber, avocado, and a spicy Jalepeno soy sauce. For salads we enjoyed the Caesar-romaine, crushed croutons, and parmesan and the Wedge-housemade ranch, pepper bacon, red onion, tomato, and blue cheese crumbles. For dinner we loved the Sauteed Filet of Sole-panko-crusted, meuniere Drizzle, grilled lemon, and parmesan risotto substituted for the green beans and shallots-because Slay is nice that way! We also loved the Boneless Half Jidori Chicken-with cacio e pepe marble potatoes and leeks. Our only regrets are that-we ate so much that we couldn't eat dessert, and that we didn't buy a Slay Hermosa sweatshirt-because I want to proudly display this eatery! We will definitely return! read more

Yes, this place does SLAY! Went on Wed evening. I was concerned as the dining room was empty, but it was raining and we did see a HUGE amount of take out orders. It did get a few more customers in the dining room before we left. We started with Burrata and strawberries, that was a delicious. Then ordered Sea Bass, Rigatoni and Chicken. There was 4 of us. The food was amazing, so good and flavorful. I would not order the chicken again only because there is such more more interesting items on the menu. Finished with butter cake, which melted in our mouths. YUM! Our server was great, very attentive and chef's kiss to the kitchen staff! Will def be back! read more

Slay Hermosa - New American Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Came here last night with my wife for my birthday -- it was okay. We've been in Hermosa for almost 10 years and have been to all the local spots on pier so we thought we'd give something new a try (tiki Kai isn't open yet, that was our first choice). The food at Slay was good. Nothing incredible but it tasted good and looked nice. We got the Parker rolls, tuna plate and baked burrata. Three starters and already at $70. My wife got the grilled cheese and I got the burger which both were good but not worth another $60. Service was not great despite there being three small tables inside and two servers. We waited a while to order drinks and between starters and mains. Waitress was nice enough but she could have been more on her game. Overall, it was pretty good. We probably will not be back based on the value. $150 for a few staters, grilled cheese and a burger. Maybe this is what inflation feels like. read more

Amazing food! Ordered the sauté fish and it was delightfully seasoned. The wine is an absolute must ! The service and atmosphere were amazing! The staff is incredibly and friendly!

If you're in Hermosa Beach this this is a great place to grab a meal. This is a fun little café style restaurant. They have interior dining, as well as outdoor dining. My recommendation is to grab the outdoor dining whenever the weather permits, because it really allows you to take in the overall environment of Hermosa. In terms of their food, it's very well prepared and has a very nice presentation. The ingredients are great, so you're sure to be eating an enjoyable and tasty meal. This restaurant has a nice selection of the various drinks, including: wine, beer, soft drinks, and of course, coffees. The last time I was there, however, their espresso machine wasn't working, so though we ordered two lattes, they brought us out two coffees instead. No big deal, things like this happened in a restaurant. But, just keep this in mind. My favorite time to come to this restaurant is on a Sunday morning. Whereas most of the restaurants around Hermosa and Manhattan Beach are packed full with customers, many of them having a long waiting line, this is not the case with Slay Hermosa. You can come in here and enjoy a nice breakfast/brunch, with little competition for seating. Overall, great place to grab a meal. read more

Slay is a great name for this place. It has such a vibrant energy. It's not a very big place but they utilize their space well and the decor evokes a fun but classy ambience. In terms of seating, you have the option of a small enclosed sidewalk/patio vs classic indoor vs rooftop. We did indoor seating for dinner as there was a chance of rain. Will have to try rooftop next time as I'm sure that would be a fun vibe with beach views and all. Our waitstaff was nice and attentive. They have a great wine list, even some offerings from their very own Slay Estate and Vineyard. The portions were big so we skipped the apps and starters. I may not have ordered the best choice with the bone-in pork chop, since the meat was a little tough and a little on the dry side, but I thoroughly enjoyed its accompanying garnishes of butternut squash, caramelized onions, kale, and mushroom jus. My friend made the wiser choice with the prime flat iron steak, which was devoured. We couldn't decide on just one dessert so we ordered two: the chocolate mousse bombe and the butterscotch pot de creme. Both were delightful. read more

Oh my gosh. What a delicious spot and I wish everyone gets to try this place. Lots of reviews on service and I can back that up. The ambience is pretty chill and the rooftop is so comfortable.

He said the capuchino was perfectly roasted. Will definitely be back and so excited to try the rest of the menu. read more

Tony was extremely patient with us even after it took me what felt like 30 minutes to pick what to eat . I got a breakfast bowl and my sister got the chilaquiles. As a chef i was extremely impressed by the absolute flavor town and presentation of the food! the brisket was unbelievably seasoned and tender! the chilaquiles had smoked sausage, a combination that i've personally never seen. Tony showed us around the restaurant including the rooftop! they have such a " slay" aesthetic ! a hidden gem for sure Mimosas are 25 a person which i didn't think was bad but i also wasn't paying lol. read more

Slay Hermosa was a phenomenal experience on the rooftop patio. It was an overcast morning, but it was still a nice outing. They have heater lamps both overhead and portable. 3 dining settings. Outside street patio, inside dining and upstairs. A little quaint but roomy. The service was prompt. The hostess led us upstairs to our table. Tony out waiter was fantastic and provided excellent sociable service. Great recommendations for us all. I ordered the Chilaquiles because we had ordered more than enough gluten. The Chilaquiles were very tasty. We also ordered 1 nice thick but fluffy pancake. That baby was nice. I had to take it home. We also ordered the chicken sandwich and brioche French toast. Yes, we took nice naps when we returned home. This is a great restaurant for renting a whole section for a birthday or a girls' day out with unlimited mimosas.
