It can get pretty pricey depending on what you order, but everything we had was delicious. We ordered the crab cake that our server highly recommended, a 1/2 dozen fresh oysters, and the Tomahawk steak -- all were excellent. Drinks were also on point; the margarita and espresso martini were both good. Our server also surprised us with a complimentary birthday treat, a really nice touch that made the night feel special. One heads up: be careful with parking meters! We saw a few people getting tickets while we were enjoying the beautiful view from our table. Definitely give yourself enough time on the meter so you can relax and enjoy your meal stress-free.

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!

Thank you Five Point Five Brewery for making my husbands 50th a memorable one!

Dark, rich, not overdone. These brewmaster know what they are doing behind the bar... that is for sure. The real surprise though? They've got this back area that is just kind of charming. Good vibe, the kind of spot where you lose track of time without trying too hard. California has no shortage of breweries competing for your attention and your wallet... Five Points earns it. Solid pour, solid spot. Good location for my lax layovers I'll be back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

So many occasions can be celebrated here as it's a rather large space for downtown Manhattan Beach,…read morein comparison to other venues available in the area. The sound system is great quality, and the clubhouse is modern and clean. Since the space can be decorated to your needs, this venue has flexible usage for any celebrations, birthdays, baby showers, receptions, fundraisers, photoshoots, team activities, etc. I've seen a Hammitt handbag sample sale here, and the South Bay Boardriders host their Pre-Catalina Race party too with a taco truck, movie screening, live band, and more. There's a kitchen in the back with food warmers as well, multiple bathrooms, and a very accommodating front entrance that opens up. The venue is a reasonable price, and fees support the woman's club (which has been integral to the South Bay since 1909), so they go back into the community. Highly recommend considering as a venue for your next big event in MB!

So please be mindful of others and hold your guests accountable. Overall an incredible experience 10/10. I will definitely plan for other celebrations of life here.

This stay the hotel was decked out in holiday decorations that helped make my stay-cation like home! They have a welcoming front desk that had a lovely woman who greeted me for my stay. My room was on the second floor near Second Story the hotel's restaurant, which has great food by the way! Antonio my waiter today told me to be sure to come try breakfast tomorrow, that they've got a new delicious breakfast menu! Also, they have a full bar at the restaurant. I love that the hotel is a small boutique hotel that is a Hilton Tapestry property so you can use your Hilton Honors to book your reservation and earn HH points! The hotel conveniently located on PCH (Sepulveda) and Rosecrans which is just a quick 5 minute to the beach, great shopping and restaurants across the street at Manhattan Village and at The Point! There is a Top Golf just a few minutes away and LAX and 405 Freeway close! And you can even hop on a METRO bus just outside the hotel for a quick ride to Hermosa Beach or to Redondo Beach and Pier! The rooms are spacious. I prefer the garden view rooms and queen beds but this stay I had a residential side view and two beds. The room was quiet and very clean, and I love the crisp corners of the bedsheets tucked neatly. They have amazingly comfy beds and all of the team of employees were friendly (between the house keeping staff, front desk, Antonio at the restaurant and even Sergio (goodness I think that was his name) at the valet! I love when the hotel makes you feel at home and greet you each time you're coming or going. Definitely makes you feel special. Since it's December I didn't get to the pool this times but maybe next time! I'll be back for sure!

We have been members of the Bay Club for over 30 years. Ever since KKR (private equity) have taken…read moreover it is no longer a club but a money making machine. We have been under construction for 2 years and are still undergoing all sorts of disruptive construction yet they continue to raise monthly dues. The latest coup de gras was that we used to get 2 free guest passes a month and anyone thereafter we are charged $10. They just upped it to $100. Their excuse is that people were taking advantage and that regular members couldn't get courts. Now if I want to host my family for pickleball and dinner it will cost me $400. People have complained and they have not budged. If you join here you are not joining a club you are joining a private equity regime.

I took baths and watched tv every night. The Tempurpedic cloud bed was insanely comfortable. Being pet- friendly was a wonderful surprise. I needed a place to stay while my house is under repair so needed to bring my cat. He is very clean, well behaved and we travel with disposable litter boxes and mats so when we leave, there was no trace of an animal. The tile flooring and carpet are also stain proof for easy clean up if necessary. I got a deal on a one the travel broker sites and believe it might have been such a good deal because I made reservations to check in middle of night but I don't know. Staff is lovely.

I'm writing this review specifically for Shade Hotel Manhattan Beach location…read more My girlfriend and I have been coming here for happy hour for several years, and she has also stayed at the hotel in the past and spent a significant amount of money there over time. Under the former management team, including the previous GM and food & beverage manager, we were always treated warmly and professionally. They were friendly, welcoming, and always made us feel appreciated as guests. We genuinely enjoyed spending time there. Unfortunately, since the management change, the atmosphere feels completely different. The experience now feels cold and unwelcoming compared to before. What really disappointed us was the valet situation. The valet attendants we knew in the past always followed the stated policy: $10 validated parking for a few hours if you were dining or having drinks, and $25 if staying longer. This time, we stayed about 4 1/2 hours, and after waiting for the car, my girlfriend was suddenly charged $40 -- which is closer to an overnight valet rate. What made it worse was that when she arrived, the valet attendant -- who knows her and recognized her -- never explained the pricing upfront. He simply said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you." Had we been informed ahead of time, we would have made a different decision. The whole experience left us with a very disappointing feeling, especially considering how loyal we've been to this hotel over the years. I also placed a call to the current GM and still have not received a response. Sadly, because of how this was handled, we no longer feel comfortable returning.
