This was my first time visiting Purple Orchid, and I wanted to try a tiki bar close to home…read more Overall, I had a really fun time! The vibe is very classic, no-fuss tiki bar, and they have two pool tables inside, which adds to the laid-back feel. The drinks were great, and everyone there was really nice, which made the experience even better. The only thing I'd say could use some improvement is the music. Omg, I was definitely wishing the playlist had a little more energy or personality. Better music would take the vibe up a notch for sure. Other than that, the drinks were solid, the people were friendly, and I had a great Saturday night. I'd definitely come back for a casual tiki drink night.

We came here to celebrate my cousin's graduation after she became a doctor, and it was the perfect place for a special occasion. The food was delicious, rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The drinks were great too! I enjoyed the wine and champagne, which were smooth and not overly strong. A special shoutout to our server, Daniel, who did an amazing job taking care of our group. He was attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. One thing to keep in mind: it can get pretty windy up there since you're close to the airport, so bring a light jacket or dress accordingly. Thankfully, they have fire pits and heat lamps that help keep everyone warm and comfortable. Overall, we had a wonderful time and I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu. Thank you for a great experience!

Stopped here tonight before dinner. I was here before a couple of years back, it was a non-issue…read more Tonight's experience was a total disappointment, much need for someone in leadership to improve. Ambiance is nicely decorated, it's part of the hotel, so just walk right in, pass the lobby, take the elevator to the 6th floor and you are there. Parking is free and plenty of it outside, do not feel the need to pay. Service: Horrible, I would give her a zero if I could. We had the woman server, reddish hair, one who I thought would be seasoned. Oder took her about 8 minutes, she then walk away and not said why. It was apparent that there was an issue with the table. Drinks took about another 12 mins to arrive and when they did it would have been great if she had spilled them. Drinks were horrible. My rum and coke was served flat and warm. Ice was dirty, seemed like no preventative maintenance takes place. No napkins were served, and at no time did she stop by to check in on us. Bartenders... not presentable at all. I didn't know what I was looking at. There was no way for me to tell if he was a bartender, or anyone else making the drinks. He seemed hot and sweaty, completely off, and wearing some sort of white T-Shirt., again, you couldn't event tell that it was a bartender making that drink, the entire experience was horrible. The drinks were so bad that we took 2 sips and said it's time to go. Waitress came by, we checked out and she just stood there waiting for a tip. We felt forced to tip her, when in reality I wanted to say, please quit your job. Folks, if you are looking for a nice classy drink, or something made right, do your self a favor and go elsewhere. if you are staying there, either go to the lobby bar, or better yet, skip out and head to Manhattan beach. No one should pay over $50.00 for poorly made drinks, served on a dirty glass, warm and with less than mediocre service.

He allowed me to watch him do his magic during his set. It's a skill I've longed to learn as part of many on the good ol bucket list. What comes to mind when thinking about this venue is comparable to a person inherently born with a lot of charisma. Prices are fair, especially for the area. But the drinks are where it really stands out. They're clearly made with fresh, high quality ingredients. I will warn you it's the kind of place you come for one and end up staying longer than you planned :)

The ambiance was perfect--upscale yet comfortable, and not so loud that you can't enjoy a conversation with your table. Jose G took great care of us throughout the evening. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly without being intrusive. The food was delicious. Our favorites were the wedge salad, lamb chops, and the ribeye. We finished with the s'mores and cheesecake desserts. Each dish had its own unique twist, and the flavors worked really well together. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great food, service, and atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

As many of us know; the legendary actor John Wayne was known as "The Duke".

Marie-Pier G our Server is so special and very attentive, much appreciated…read more Love the ambiance and CS was "Top Notch" In fact we got notification early, that our table was ready. Parking can be a problem so plan ahead. The noise level in the Main Dining Room was quite loud??? The Pros; Caesar Salad-Very Good, Creamed Corn-Excellent, Bread Service with Salt & Pepper Butter was Great, The Buns were Fresh out of the oven. House Old Fashion-very nice balance and very flavorful. The Dole Whip was okay, not my wife's favorite. Thai Pasta with Wagyu Beef, very flavorful. Scottish Salmon was just okay, had a little fishy taste, I've had better. Prime Filet was done to perfection but chewy, for $69 that was a disappointment. If it wasn't for their CS, Ambiance we would probably not return, but will give it another chance.

This is another one of my all time favorite restaurant and bar in beautiful Manhattan Beach…read more This is a multi level restaurant with plenty of indoor and outside seating and fantastic views of the pier and the ocean. Make sure you come here during sunset in the winter time were you probably going to witness one of the nicest sunsets along the beautiful California beach. Now coming to the bar and restaurant itself it probably serves one of the best cocktails in town ans for sure the freshest and best tasting seafood in MB. One of my favorite is the Spanish Grilled Octopus and the Oysters on the appetizer menu. I also recommend their salmon or grilled chicken on the main menu. If you want to keep it simple there is a decent selection if house pizza with a nice selection of wines, draft and bottled beers plus their outstanding cocktails. Please make sure to reserve a table if you're planning to go there after 5 pm or otherwise spent time at either the lower bar area or the smaller bar on the upper level. Enjoy and Bon Appetite!
