    A super good vibe for lunch on a sunny afternoon. The menu a bit fish funky so I ordered different things and made my own. One might see nubile mermaids occasionally glide by, but who's looking. Pure So Cal. Great stop after Palos Verdes ocean cliffs and their undulating roads.

    Hook & Plow Benedict
    Yun-Wen L.

    Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - ordered the Hook & Plow Benedict with smoked salmon, two poached eggs, brava crispy potatoes, marinated capers, and hollandaise sauce. The smoked salmon was quite salty, the potatoes a bit bland, and the capers quite sour. So if I got a bite of everything, it was fairly good but it was a bit difficult to hunt for the tiny capers and ensure that the ratio of salmon to potatoes were perfect. Service: 5/5 - we arrived just after 10:00 as they were still setting up. Once ready, they immediately greeted us and let us pick any seat that we preferred. He gave us his full attention with no urgency so we were able to just enjoy our meal and chat. Ambiance: 5/5 - we sat outside on a beautiful Saturday morning with some holiday decorations. It was quiet, so it was easy to have a conversation! Value for price: 3/5 - great atmosphere so it was the perfect place to hang out and catch up. Unfortunately, not the best meal at $20+ per dish for some smoked salmon tossed on potatoes.

    Great food and phenomenal service from Stefanie! Would come back, definitely recommend! Loved the outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade, it was relaxing and great place to grab a bite to eat!

    It was a beautiful 4th of July day and Hubbers and I didn't want to waste the day. So we woke up early-ish, stopped at the coffee shop for waker-uppers as well as pup cups for fur babies we were with, then took them to the dog park. While there, Hubbers and I discussed where to go for lunch. Dog friendly is a must since we had pups with us. Using the process of elimination, we thought this was the best place to go. We came through early so street parking wasn't a challenge. It was so early, in fact, that this place was r even open yet. So we took the time to explore its immediate surrounding areas: shops, more eateries, learning the beach is only a couple blocks away, etc. It wasn't very busy so we were seated immediately. The sun was blaring a bit much so we opted for shade (they have plenty of umbrellas, so all good!) Immediately, we knew exactly what to get the pup. We wanted to try so many things on the menu but we decided to get a couple of starters and go from there: ROASTED PEAR AND BURRATA: Our server (my memory sucks, but I think his name was Tyler?) suggested we split the plate (at no extra cost) as we might enjoy it more. He was right, it was easier. But I'll say this: I was addicted to this salad - I almost ordered another to take home! The blend of burrata, arugula and pecans with the truffle dressing were perfect. The cinnamon wasn't strong, but it added to the taste. SEAFOOD PLATTER (+ extra half dozen oysters): Everything was fresh! The oysters were shucked clean, the shrimps were bigger than what I'm used to (delish!), nice sauce on the Peruvian scallops, ceviche was seasoned well and came with guac a side of tortilla chips and the tuna poke (also with guac) was excellent. This platter sure got us off to a good start - and almost finish! CLAM CHOWDER: We were gonna Antonio this, but we were much too curious. And boy, were we glad we got it: it is one of the best clam chowders we've had. (Top two, for sure!) It was very tasty, and very hearty! There was a lot of depth and love made with this soup. Get this! TEMPURA FISH TACOS: We were kinda full at this point, but this we also had to try. Made to order, fish was battered thin. It honestly didn't need anything: the sauce was a good match with the fish. Me likey! We liked this place so much, we came back with two other peeps with us (before I got the chance to write a review!) We were served by Brittany who was also very friendly and welcoming, but not as efficient or attentive as Tyler. (We didn't get one of our orders - which happened to be my favorite part and burrata salad - and it was hard to flag her done when needed. I'm not faulting her for that, too, they did seem understaffed. FOOD: 5. There was nothing we didn't like! SERVICE: 4.5 (5 for Tyler, 4 for Brittaney.) VALUE: 4. More than fair. PARKING: Street only. Metered parking at $2/hr. OVERALL: 4.5. Excellent first (and second!) run. Although Hubbers and I talked about trying out other places around here, we'd always come back and recommend this place.

    Cheesecake
    Tricia M.

    Fantastic food! We had a group of 9 people and booked a table on the patio. Everyone loved what they ordered! We started with calamari, furikake fries and battered avocado. Then I had the shrimp and grits, which was a perfect dish - I only wish I had the space to have eaten more. It really was rich, cheesy, creamy and good with jumbo shrimp and perfectly cooked sunny side eggs. Dessert was this yuzu cheesecake, which was not to tart or sweet. Just a perfect note to end on! My daughter had the apple cobbler and liked it so much she didn't want to share! Lol

    Dry Hamburger

    The place has a rustic feel to it. Met a friend here. The night we came here only two people were working on the floor. Service suffered. Skip the Cheddar and Scallion Biscuit for 7.00 dollars each they were burnt the taste was not good. When asked the server replied that's how they are supposed to be. Clam Chowder tastes as if it was made days prior. The burger was overcooked. Bad night won't be coming back

    Breakfast Burrito was the bomb!
    Susan S.

    Always the best food and service. Sure hope they bring back the outdoor seating! I usually get the Breakfast Sandwich and thought I would try the Breakfast Burrito. So glad I did. It was the bomb!

    Steak Sandwich
    Jillian N.

    I'm very impressed by this restaurant! Slow and quiet for a Saturday morning, but wow did the food and service show up. Music was a nice touch, classics constantly played during our visit. Appreciated the chef making sides of fruit for us. Server said it was prepped fresh daily. Steak sandwich - absolutely amazing. Flavorful and savory. I'd come back just for this alone.

    Amazing happy hour, highly recommended! 1/2 off drafts and house wine and a few discounted cocktails plus an awesome happy hour menu to choose from! We stopped by one afternoon and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff is fun and kind and the patio and outside seating are so cute! It's a vibe! My favorite is the salmon poke! So tasty and fun, you don't miss tuna at all! The house fries are a must as well. Very unique flavoring and delicious, we got two orders. I imagine this spot is awesome any time but it has been one of my favorite happy hours so far! 3-6pm on weekdays!

    Panko Crusted Avocados
    Kelvin C.

    Fantastic Redondo Beach eatery. Everything was great, food, outdoor dining, dog friendly. We needed a dog friendly place for our doggie date. I was pleasantly surprised how wonderful the food turned out. The panko avocado was rich, crispy and came with a delicious dipping sauce. The beef dip sandwich was roll your eyes back, with the crispy bread, flavorful tender beef, incredible sauce and melty cheese was so frickin good! The pooches loved the meal just as much. They got a wagyu burger and bacon strips. Can't remember our servers name, but she absolutely adored dogs and she was the sweetest server of all time. This is such a fun spot, it's a must try.

Anais was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and attentive, and she made us feel genuinely comfortable and appreciated from the moment we walked in. She's so nice and positive energy made such a difference and really elevated the entire experience.

I'm happy to say I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Anais, for such a lovely experience!

    I was excited to try this establishment because the pastries looked beautiful, but unfortunately…read morethe experience went downhill from there. I stood in line for about five minutes waiting to be helped while multiple customers who came in after me were immediately acknowledged and assisted first. I was wearing a bright yellow shirt and standing clearly in view, so it was difficult to understand how I continued to be overlooked. I even glanced toward the camera because I genuinely could not believe what was happening. What disappointed me most was the customer service. When I later asked for the names of the staff members working during the interaction, Nick, Anianas, and two others.. they questioned why I was asking. I explained that I felt ignored and wanted to accurately reference who was present during the incident. As I was leaving, I overheard one of the workers say, "I feel bad for her walking out," which only added to the frustration because it confirmed they were aware of the situation the entire time. Sorry that I apparently did not fit the "typical clientele" you were more interested in helping first. This occurred between approximately 9:55 AM and 10:05 AM on Thursday, 5/21. Ironically, I had planned on purchasing a large order of pastries for my fiancé and his coworkers, but after the way I was treated, I decided not to spend my money here. If customer service matters to you, I would strongly reconsider visiting this establishment.

After dropping over $200 at the other place, we were pleasantly surprised to see the very reasonable prices for the food at the Rockefeller. We told our waiter that we were in a hurry to get our kids because of the bad experience that we had down the street and did a fabulous job of getting our food to us super-fast. Food: My wife got the baja fish tacos and they were presented amazingly and my wife loved them. I got the hot chocolate chip cookie and the bread pudding and literally inhaled both of them. Both were great. Ambiance: This place is so cute, inviting, relaxing, friendly, clean. Just a place that feels comfortable. Staff: Our waiter was so nice, understanding, quick and made a great recommendation on the bread pudding. Price: When we got our bill, just wow! The total bill was less than the tip that I left at Montauk and the food was 10 times better at the Rockefeller. This Rock(s)-efeller. Thank you! We will be back for sure.
