The Strand was super busy on a Tuesday night, so I'm glad we were able to make a reservation. We were led upstairs to sit outside on the patio, which had a cute view of the beach. There's metered parking in the lower lots that's convenient. The menu here is pretty extensive, but we got to order a number of things. My favorite was the french fries, they were well fried and seasoned. They came with a ton too! We couldn't even finish it. Their bluefin tuna was really good too and they also offered to make it GF for people in our party. Their yellowtail crudo was a bit too fishy for us. Their octopus was really great as well! For entrees, I tried the salmon and the short rib. The salmon was cooked well, but a really small portion for the price. The veg with it was a bit too acidic for me. The short rib and potatoes were amazing! Would definitely order again!
I came here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and the place was so busy! I had a reservation and was seated near the bar. The restaurant is elevated so there's a lovely view of the beach. The service was great and the food came out fast. I got the burrata crostini to start, it was perfect with large pieces of burrata. I had the pesto pasta with seared scallops as my main. The scallops were cooked well but a little on the rare side. The pesto pasta was delicious and pretty sure it's freshly made pasta. It was the right amount of food for lunch. Service was great and attentive. A little on the pricier side, for two people (1 app, 2 mains, 1 drink) it came to around $200 all in.
The Strand is our family's go to restaurant. Birthday's, celebrations...always there!!! Parker rolls are a must!! Everything is delicious! The views are spectacular
I came across some photos on my social media from when I visited The Strand House in Manhattan Beach on August 30th, 2020. Located right by the beach, the restaurant has an absolutely amazing ocean view. I remember having brunch there, and everything we ordered was delicious. I also remember the service being very friendly and welcoming. Today, a friend mentioned that she had been there, and it suddenly brought back memories of my own visit. So I went searching through my old photos and found these. Manhattan Beach used to be one of my favorite places to visit, and I went there quite often back then. Looking at these photos makes me want to go back again soon.
We had a great time here meeting our friends who were visiting and had a flight to catch after lunch. The service was impeccable and we had lovely views as we were seated by the large windows on the upper level with sweeping views of Manhattan Beach. Discounted valet parking at the Shade Hotel within walking distance was a blessing on a Saturday afternoon when all the Public parking lots nearby were full.
Every time my family and I went to Manhattan Beach I thought this restaurant was so beautiful. I told myself I must try this restaurant out on my birthday and it exceeded all my expectation's. The food, staff, and ambiance were beyond amazing!!! We came for our 530pm dinner reservation and was seated right away. I had asked if I can have a window seat and they made sure to accommodate. Next time I think I would like to try the outdoor patio space. We ordered so much food. Every single dish that came out was super yummy, but the dish that blew mine and my husband's mind was that Branzino. Best Branzino we had ever tasted. The outside was crispy and the inside was super moist and tender. The restaurant even had a kids menu. So for all the folks with young kiddos great place to take your kids. Our waiter was fantastic and really made this experience that much better. Food 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Service 10/10 View 10/10 We will be coming back soon!
Had a great dinner with the family at the Strand House. We were seated at a table with a beautiful ocean view. It was a little overcast so we didn't see a sunset today. Our server Mark was great and explained the menu and popular dishes. We started off with crab cakes and had the branzino, sea scallops and lam chops for the main course. My daughter had grilled chicken and french fries. BTW, the french fries were delicious! We all enjoyed our meals. My lamb chops were perfectly cooked at medium-rare but a little under seasoned. They brought me a salt and pepper mill to season the chops. I was a little surprised that they were under seasoned. I asked for iced tea refills and they were obliging. The meal was moderately priced but for the ambiance and good quality, it was worth it. The service was spot on with plenty of staff attending to our needs. The most challenging part of our experience was finding parking. There's plenty of metered street parking and limited parking lots near the Manhattan Beach pier.
The Strand House is a well-established restaurant in Manhattan Beach along its main corridor, and the final restaurant leaving the downtown area before you reach the pier and beach. The Strand House offers good food, goodservice, and amazing views and vibes at reasonable, but upscale prices. We came with my family for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon. Off the lunch menu we had the Italian panini ($29), which was a surprisingly complex sandwich with mortadella, salami, onions, lettuce, fresh Marzano tomatoes, and many other vegetables. It was served with an exceptional set of fries, which had a great amount of garlic and the perfect blend of crisp on the outside and softness on the inside, along with tangy ketchup. The children got the pasta bolognese ($14), which was a standard bolognese, although the pasta was a little overcooked. We also got a child salmon ($21), a surprisingly generous piece of fish, well cooked with a somewhat crispy exterior and soft interior alongside broccolini and whipped mashed potatoes. The service was decent - our server collected our order, checked on us appropriately, and generally took care of us throughout our visit. As the pictures suggest, the interior is quite upscale, scattered across three floors with a view overlooking the main road and the beach itself. This led to an excellent, breezy atmosphere and spectacular views, perfect for a hot day. Prices are a little on the elevated side, but not excessive, given the highly popular location of this restaurant and excellent views. Overall, The Strand House offers an appropriately upscale lunch or dinner at an elevated price for the discerning customer looking for good food and excellent views with a price to match. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Value: 4/5
We went for a ladies brunch on a Saturday. Good thing we made a reservation and we were seated quickly. Ambience: (5/5) The view from upstairs is unbeatable. You could see the ocean and the pier while we ate. The dining room felt bright and open, and it made the whole brunch feel special. Food: (4/5) We ordered the chile relleno burrito, which our waiter recommended. It was huge and very tasty, with plenty to eat. We also tried the watermelon appetizer, and honestly it was not that good. It was just cubes of watermelon topped with feta, and the cheese was way too salty for our taste. We also had the spritz drinks, which were okay but nothing special. Pricing & Value: (4/5) The prices were a bit high, but we felt it was worth it for the view alone. We paid for the experience as much as the food. Services: (5/5) Our server was very friendly and gave us excellent service the whole time. She checked on us often and made good recommendations, like the burrito.
Came here on Saturday evening and wow! Beautiful view of Manhattan Beach! Our server was amazing! I didn't catch her name, but she was very helpful and explained the menu very well. Food is amazing . We had a large party of 6 and 2 kids were with us. Kids menu has a great variety of items on there. Here's what we ordered: Appetizers: Crab Cakes$34.00 1/2 Dozen Fresh Oysters$24.00 Bluefin Tuna Tostadas$29.00 Dinner: Kids Grilled Cheese$14.00 Crispy Thai Barramundi$95.00 Prime bone in Ribeye$79.00 Chilean Seabass$58.00 Short Rib$54.00 Side: Buttermilk Parker House Roll$9.00 Butter Lime Corn$16.00 Mushroom Medley$18.00 The mushroom was the only one that was mediocre. Reminded me of cream of mushroom out of a can. I would try something else instead next time.
From the moment I walked through the door at The Strand House, I felt like I was being treated really well. The staff was accommodating when we asked to change tables, and was very respectful in showing us the elevator when my dining companion mentioned that she had a tough time walking. The waiting area was very comfortable, with a nice, soft couch. But of course, the highlight was dinner! My scallops with pasta were absolutely perfect, and it was lovely to eat them with such a nice view of the ocean. I've eaten here before and really enjoyed it, and I can't wait to eat here again!
The Strand House is one of my favorites in Manhattan Beach! Really enjoy the ambiance and view of the ocean. Our favorites are the crab cake benedict and acai bowl. Staff here is great, food excellent, and it doesn't get any better looking out at the ocean. Highly recommend next time you're in Manhattan Beach!
Came to The Strand House in Manhattan Beach for a weekday brunch with friends. The cocktails were definitely the highlight. Highly recommend the Fifteen Summers. It was so good, and as part of their anniversary promotion, I even got a free glass to take home as a gift for ordering it. For food, we shared the bluefin tuna tostadas, scallop, and chicken sandwich. They were decent, but nothing particularly blew me away. The drinks and beachside atmosphere were definitely the bigger draw for me. Service was good and attentive throughout our meal. Overall, a nice spot for brunch with friends, especially for the cocktails and beachside vibes.
Came here for a business dinner vase in colleague's recommendation. The restaurant features gorgeous view of the manhattan beach. We started with the grilled octopus. Soo yummy! Tender with a bit of charred taste. Perfect. I also had the halibut which was pan fried to perfection. Meat was juicy, soft and flakey. My colleague had the sea bass. I'm assuming it was good because she cleaned the plate. read more

The Strand is a Manhattan Beach staple. They have the best view, vibes, food and drinks. There's something for everyone and after you're done eating, you can walk the pier or boardwalk and burn off some calories. We loved everything we tried! Service was fast and our server had a great personality. read more
The Baseline: For a fine dining the food needs to be fresh, the presentation must excel beyond a casual dining place, there must be a selection of accompanying offerings, and there are unique offerings. Food: Came here for brunch on a Saturday morning. The Huevos Rancheros was awesome and good (5 out of 5). Jammy over easy eggs pled right into my sauced up tortilla chips. The side of beans were spot on with it. Also the Bloody Mary is bloody darn good with a big slice of bacon backing that up. The fish tacos were delicious as well as the Eggs benedict. Star of the show was the big cinnamon roll with its oozy-gooey goodness. A must for brunch and they do sell out. Service: Great service and full water glasses. Fast, efficient, friendly, and upscale. Ambiance: Enjoying brunch with ocean breezes and views. How can a day get better than that unless you hate the ocean?!? Always a great atmosphere at the Strand House. read more

Came by for dinner one night to check out their hosting spaces. The main dining room overlooks the beach and has great views and ambiance. Though the hostesses were weird and off-putting, our server and the event coordinator whom we were speaking with were so kind and helpful! The food was so good. We started with the ahi tuna app, and got the fish and scallop entrees. So delicious, everything was cleared. We ended up not hosting our event there but would definitely come back again for dinner! read more

Food was great overall! We started with a potato frites in beef tallow and fresh oysters (regulate not minuette) we loved the fries!!! Best!!! Then our food was served 20 minutes after we seated: I had the branzino which was a Ok I've tasted better. My son had the Chilean seabass which he did not like the potatoes and k my age the fish. My son's gf had the ceviche she compared it with the local market made and said she liked the local better than what she had. Drinks were good. Reservation was at 5pm, they seated us on time. However if felt like we did not have a choice but to be seated in the patio area which got really cold & windy, out table was wobbling though they put shoppers on it still felt wobbly. It wasn't the best area to dine in. It felt like they just shoved us in there and did not even ask if we were ok with our table being out in the patio. I preferred to be inside the dining area because it looks more peaceful, comfortable and enjoyable. Overall ambience is nice, bright and airy. The patio is too tight and the guy behind me keeps hitting my chair. We dine in quick because I wasn't liking the area where we were. They could've offered us a better space. Our server was phenomenal! read more
Location and Atmosphere is Top Notch! The beach front vibe does not get any better. The downstairs get a view of the ocean and the pier, but not a full view of the sunset. The place is packed, even on a Tuesday. But our server was amazing and on point. She was able to deliver an excellent service. Food is great. The Lamb Chops was perfectly grilled, flavorful, moist and tender. Definitely the best Lamb Chops I've had. The brussel and bacon is a must. Price is above average, but considering the location its still a steal. Parking is a problem, metered or the lot. Best to take Uber/Lyft. read more

Amazinggggg. The ceviche was seriously so good! Everything tasted super fresh, and everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The view was beautiful too, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! read more
Stopped by for dinner and drinks with my hubby and a friend this place is definitely a vibe and super close to the ocean. Best time to go is for happy hour before sunset. Our reservation wasn't until 8:30, so we hung out downstairs for about an hour first. Met a lot of people who were clearly locals and regulars, which always says a lot about a spot. Once we sat down for dinner, we ordered a few things. The bluefin tostadas are a must if you're into seafood. We also had the scallops delicious doesn't even do them justice, just wish there was more than one . My hubby ordered the lamb, which was probably our least favorite since it was a bit dry. The rigatoni though? Unbelievably good. Honestly, I'd come back and order the exact same items minus the lamb lol. Shoutout to Griffin for keeping us going all night . And the buttermilk bread? So good I almost cried. Parking is pretty easy, but definitely come early on a nice day. There are a couple of metered lots nearby with up to 5-hour parking. Fridays they've got a DJ after 9:30 PM... how swayyy See you next time! read more
Location: this place doesn't get any better. Literally steps from the MB pier and the strand boardwalk. Watch the sunset after you order and are waiting for your food. Parking: Good luck! Think Times Square type vibe. There paid beach parking that's usually full, street meters also usually full and nearby parking paid, also usually full. It's hit or miss and more miss than hit! Save yourself the stress and walk there, take public transport or uber/lyft. Views: 5 for view if you can snag an up or downstairs window seat, you can see the beach, and pier but not the sunset. You gotta walk down to the beach for that. Food: 4-5 for food. The Brussels sprouts are good and a tad soggy, the French fries are a 5, the bread rolls with butter are a 5. Prices: The prices are high but that's par for the oceanfront view. Music: is a 1 at best. They need a live band or DJ. Music as horrible! Service: was good. Why come here? I'll be back with tourist guests as always. Or a nice romantic vibe night. Or maybe a work dinner or lunch. read more

My friend and I had a vibey brunch at The Strand House. We made a 1pm reservation and I'm glad that we did because the place was completely packed. We were seated at a table right against the window with a prime ocean view. Our server, while pleasant, left us alone for long periods of time. Because he seemed to have forgotten about us, we weren't able to order for quite some time and thus received our food over an hour after arriving. We started with the crab cakes. Tasty, but not worth the cost. For my main I had the Parisian Ham and Cypress Grove Cheese Omelette. They knew what they were doing by putting Cypress Grove in the name, because I love that cheese and knew I had to order this. The plate was beautiful, the portion was large and it was all-around satisfying. This is the place to go for a more upscale experience right by the beach, and the spot to come for a lively meal with friends. read more

Let's start off with make sure you have an appointment for dinner because they do tend to get busy. The views are great! Drinks were very tasty but they did cheap out on the alcohol. I asked for a double and it definitely was not however the bill was! The food was very bland whether it was the salmon, ribs or pasta. Decent presentation I'll give them that much but they really need to work on taste. The tuna tar tar was the best thing they had. The prices were very expensive for what you got. Lastly, the waiters need to work on their attitude. She did try to pretend like she was nice but you could tell she just wanted us to leave which got very annoying. I read some of the other reviews and people said breakfast and lunch is pretty good here so I'm not counting it out completely but for dinner never again. read more
Went here for a Friday dinner, sat on the outside with a view of the ocean which is beautiful. Service is quick and the waiter was very attentive, although the hostess tried to sit us "outside" with a table which is looking into the restaurant which is worse than no view before I told her no.. Food was good for the most part, we really liked one of the cheeses in the charcuterie board (saint nectaire) to the point where we went to the store to buy our own afterwards. The scallops for the pesto pasta were cooked perfectly, tender, no rubbery/fishiness, just a vibrant rich flavor. The fideo de mare had an interesting texture due to the toasted noodles but the sauce was a little too watery which I didn't like. read more
Love this place. I've had dinner here multiple times over the years. The other night I was here with a group from work and as always, the food was great. The staff was attentive and accommodating to our table request with us needing a heat lamp since we were outside on the patio. We split the octopus appetizer, I had the scallops and pesto pasta, and we split the key lime dessert. One thing: while the views are great and the place is as close to the water as you can get, parking sucks. There are a few public parking lots right next to the restaurant, but they're always packed. If you can Uber, you're good. read more
If you're looking for the best sunset view in the South Bay, you can't beat Strand House in Manhattan Beach. On a beautiful California evening, this place is the total triple threat -- great food, great service, and an unbeatable atmosphere. This place is ALWAYS packed and reservations are highly recommended!!! We grabbed a table right around sunset and the view over the ocean was absolutely stunning. Watching the sun drop below the horizon while the restaurant fills with that golden coastal glow is an experience all on its own. We kept things light and shared a couple of appetizers, a salad, and a side dish, and everything was fresh and flavorful. Perfect portions for grazing while enjoying the view and a drink. The service was just as impressive -- friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed without ever feeling rushed. Between the incredible sunset, delicious food, and top-notch service, Strand House is easily one of my favorite spots in Manhattan Beach. Perfect for a date night or just soaking in a classic California sunset. read more
We recently visited to celebrate our anniversary. While we were disappointed to find that some items listed on the website menu had been removed, we had an overall satisfying experience. The Pan Seared Aegean Branzino, Crab Cakes, and Lychee Rose Cake were all amazing. We found the King Crab-Stuffed Shrimp to be just okay, and likely wouldn't order it again. The cocktails were mixed well and refreshing The ambiance was perfect for the occasion and the staff were very friendly. A pleasant evening. read more
Brunch with an ocean view....exactly what we were looking for. We started with the crab cakes, which were generously packed with crab and paired perfectly with the gribiche sauce. I then ordered the Wild Mushroom Omelette for my main. It was loaded with tons of fresh mushrooms. I added a side of bacon, which ended up tucked inside the omelette, and it was delicious. The eggs were buttery and fluffy. Service was excellent. The drinks were tasty and nicely poured. Overall this is a great spot to enjoy a weekend brunch with a beautiful view. read more

Food was really delicious, the service was great and ofcourse the views were amazing because they have huge windows where you can see the ocean. The only annoying thing was there were a few flies in the restaurant but i think its unavoidable because of the place and the open doors. It is also a bit too pricey but it comes great food and venue. Either way, we had a great experience eating here. read more
Came here for a special occasion 18th birthday celebration family friend. I love all their delicious foods and desserts. Their food presentation is so cute and nicely done. The beef short ribs is a must meat is juicy, tender and mushroom packed flavor so good. The salmon plate is perfectly cooked not dry with umami. Best of all is the donut flight what a delight to finish off your dinner. The flavors and designs are amazing and creative. Don't skip on their cocktails. The staff is very attentive to our party. We have a pre set menu arranged in advance. We sat on a long table middle of the restaurant not situated in a separate function room that's the only thing they lack. Ambient lighting and mellow music on the background. The space is not that big that's why loud noise from people around us is intense. The best unobstructed sunset view of the Marina Del Rey ocean through full glass windows adds to the beauty of the day. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for spectacular place to celebrate special events. read more

Came for lunch and the ocean views, and it delivered. Food: 8/10. Fresh, well executed, and satisfying. Nothing overly inventive for seafood, but everything was done right. The crab cakes were the standout, actually packed with crab and no filler. Ambiance: The views are hard to beat. You can see the beach right from your table, which makes lunch feel like a mini escape. The interior décor is polished and relaxed without feeling stiff. Service: Outstanding. Our waitress was genuinely attentive and thoughtful the entire time. When another group left, she proactively let us move tables so we could get an even better view. She also went out of her way to help my little cousin get the perfect photo for her 30th birthday, which was such a nice touch. Great views, solid food, and service that really elevates the experience. read more

The drink was definitely a heat of passion! Spicy lovers only, I substituted the mezcal with calamitous and that heat was STILL there. Crab cakes were very tasty along with their gribiche sauce. Service was okay, maybe could be a little swifter to greet once seated just to feel more welcoming. read more

Ask the Community - The Strand House
Are they dog friendly?
I saw multiple dogs in door and out door when I went. Big and small.
If I make reservation for dinner, can I just join the bar afterwards? I won't have trouble getting in?
Absolutely. Even if you don't eat you should have no problem going into the bar area. It may be busy but you should be able to order drinks and hang out. If you're ever around on a Friday night check to see who is playing. There's a band that plays…
What is the dress code?
Brunch: casual as it's a beach town Dinner: I'd say something more dressy than an outfit with flip flops but not necessarily a cocktail dress.
If we have luggage, is there a place the restaurant can hold it for us?
Yes they can help you hold until you finish your dinner.
For the downstairs bar is it 21+ or anyone can go down there?
Hi Michelle The Strandbar is 21 & over on Friday’s and Saturday’s beginning at 9 pm. It may be subject to change depending on our live entertainment schedule.…
Is there a brunch menu during weekdays or just weekends? Thanks.
Hi Aida! We only offer brunch Saturday's & Sunday's from 10:00am-2:30pm. We sometimes offer brunch…
Are you serving an Easter themed Brunch for April 17th? There would be 4 children in our party
Here is their Easter Brunch Promo: https://www.thestrandhousemb.com/promo/easter.shtml
Do they require proof of vaccination for dine in?
The county currently does not require us to check vaccination status for dine in. We are currently only required to ask that you wear a mask when walking around the restaurant. Hope that helps answer your question.…
Does brunch have a bottomless mimosa option?
Hi Karla, thank you for your question. We currently do not offer bottomless mimosas for brunch, but we do offer them by the glass and by the bottle. We have found that being a multi-level restaurant, it can be a little dangerous for those trying…
Where to park?
Hi Lynette, thank you for your question. There are two beach side metered parking lots in between our restaurant and the pier. There are also street metered parking spots in the surrounding area. In case those don't work out there are a couple…
Do you have white truffle tagliatelle every day?
Yes, we have our delicious black winter truffle tagliatelle available every day starting at 5pm while they are in season. It’s a short season though so don’t hesitate to come by and try it out!
Is proof of vaccine required for dine in?
The short answer is no. We only require masks to be worn while walking around the restaurant. The current mandate for proof of vaccine is for LA City, not LA County so we are not required to check vaccination status at this time. Thanks for reaching…
Do you have any options for VEGANS? Other than salad? We went out of our way to come to this restaurant yesterday and it was a total disaster for our vegan friend. What's the deal?
Currently (March 2024) Delicata Squash Curry
What is the corkage fee? This fact is not listed on the online menu/website.
$35/Bottle. No prior-uncorked (to breathe) reds can be brought in.
Is it Handicapped accessible , how about parking space?
We are handicap accessible. Parking is a little difficult in Manhattan Beach, as we do not have our own parking lot. Parking is street and metered. We have 2 parking lots close to the restaurant - but we share it with beach goers.
Do they have happy hour? I've seen both yes and no in the reviews
We offer a Late Afternoon menu which is similar to a bar menu, but we don't have discounted prices.
