    Had dinner reservations with my friends & cousin for her birthday then stayed to enjoy the silent disco. So cool! Food was tasty except the "salt & vinegar" fries ;[ (nothing salt & vinegar about them)!Servers & service were great. We were outdoor! Restrooms are small! We were able to bring & enjoy our brought-in desserts for the birthday girl.

    Vista is such a vibe! My husband would tell me about the place a lot because he was a guard years before but once I finally went I see the hype! That chicken sandwich The Mai Tai(be ready it has a kick) but more importantly the staff are just truly top tier. I work really hard for my money so being able to take my family to a place with not only good food but customer service I'm Sold! Special thanks to Frankie for always making my family and everyone we bring feel welcomed. Xo The Hafoka Family

    Servicable with beach views, and plenty of outdoor seating as usual so you can watch the cute dogs.

    Scallop, hearts of palm salad

    I'd give 6 stars if I could! Great service, incredible food. Always consistent. As always, loved the popcorn cauliflower and ahi crispy rice!

    Hearts of Palm Salad with Shrimp added
    Dorothy D.

    Food: A. Really clean healthy delicious options! Just what you need when dining on the coast in Southern California! Service: A+. Our server was super attentive, polite and friendly. They kept our water and beverage glasses full. He was patient with my slow ordering skills and even gave our pup a bowl of water! Ambiance: A+. Definitely has that happy peaceful SoCal vibe. Good 4 beach people watching. Live music is more relaxing then the crooner across the pier ;D Dietitian Dorothy's Nutrition Tip: Think outside of the menu! Order the Hearts of Palm Salad, flip the menu over and add the shrimp to it a la carte for a higher protein salad which can serve as your main entree.

    Delicious

    Great outdoor seating and setting on the boardwalk. Alex was a great server and all the dishes were awesome!! The wings were full of flavor with a nice kick to them. The loco moco was delicious!!!

    My gf and I stopped here on Sunday evening as we were walking our dogs , they had live music in the patio . Such cute ambiance . Very accomidating service ! We tried the Peruvian scallops with our wine . They were so so good !

    jumbo lump crab & yuzu guacamole with lavish chips = $19
    Trung N.

    3.43576 stars Vista! We had a surprisingly nice and lazy Monday lunch here. The menu is Asian inspired (?). I think. Of the appetizers that we shared, I liked the jumbo lump crab & yuzu guacamole ($19) with lavish chips best. The lavish chips aren't the only lavish thing about this dip. Who knew that guacamole and crab belong together? While the crab doesn't add a ton of flavor to the guacamole - textually it's really nice. We also ordered the katsu calamari fries + togarashi aioli ($16) which was fine, but nothing to write home about. I also shared the chicken sandwich ($18.00). The sandwich comes with a generous piece of fried chicken coated in a sticky sweet sauce that has hints of fish sauce. It also comes topped with pickled cabbage and kewpie mayo which helps mitigate the otherwise strong flavors. The first bite was fantastic, however, each subsequent bite was a little less exciting than the first. The sweet sticky sauce was a bit too much for my preference after a while. I also found the sandwich to be a little difficult to eat - proportionally too big to bite and too sticky to hold. Vista has prime beachfront view. The patio furniture, however, is a little worn and could use a little tlc. Because it's situated right next to the boardwalk, you are also subjected to solicitors - dudes trying to sell me a husky while I enjoyed my meal. In any case, I'm sure it's quite nice in the evening as you sit with a cocktail next to a fire pit. I'd come back. There's more to explore on the menu and the location is prime.

    Gorgeous. The location is perfectly situated on the Hermosa pier and the Strand for people watching. The patio has various tables from romantic tables for 2, to party sized cabanas with fire tables. At first I thought it was just a bar, but then heard about the food. Their food are elevated- gorgeous creations, almost too pretty to eat. Everything we ordered was beautifully executed and perfectly seasoned, which was so unexpected for the super touristy location. Service is super beach friendly, and very attentive. High end, but absolutely worth the experience.

    Casual spot with Asian-influenced flavors by the ocean. Came here for brunch with my boyfriend on a Saturday morning and got seated immediately (we had reservations beforehand, which we made online). We split the loco moco (we ordered a large, which includes an extra egg) and the palm sugar monkey bread, which was a sweet/salty Hawaiian bread with coconut on top. Sitting outside with the ocean in front was a vibe. Service was a bit standoffish but quick when we were closing out. It's good for big groups and is kid-friendly.

    A nice vibe sitting in the outside area by the fireplace catching up with friends.. shared some small plates and had some drinks. Definitely enjoyed and can't wait to come again..

    Prickly pear & Hazy IPA
    Joellen C.

    Extremely busy. Bar tender was curt, fast paced, not people friendly but rather just trying to fill as many orders as fast as possible. There were so many people trying to order that it took 35 min just to get our drinks. The lounge outside was comfy, had live music. If you got the sofa or picnic bench seating for a large group it was comfy but if you got a table on the side it wasn't as comfy since the seats were hard. Great view of the sunset and beach volleyball courts. Live music was great because it was live but the singing wasn't that good but more of a drunk vibe sing until your heart's content vibe. Played a lot of American dive bar songs eg. Sweet Carolina, I love rock and roll, we will we will rock you...etc. The food looked absolutely delicious especially the huli huli chicken tulips (which looked kind fried chicken glazed lollipops) , yuzu crab guacamole with puff chips, fried mochi atop tuna sushi (which was just crispy tuna sashimi rice). The hazy IPA here was delicious would 10/10 get again. The prickly pear cocktail looked beautiful and was so strong but flavor wise it was both strong and a bit too fruit juice sweet. Next time I'd get a beer but I don't regret trying and gettin the prickly pear cocktail this time. Dog friendly Meter street parking for 2 hrs

    Absolutely stunning views of the beach. Our waitress was lovely. And, the salad was good! Unfortunately the guacamole was too fishy, we didn't finish it (wasn't a great balance). But definitely going again whenever i am in town.

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!

We ate half of our meals that day and finished the leftovers on the 23rd. On Christmas Eve morning, I woke up violently ill. I spent the next several days isolated in a bedroom, unable to keep anything down, constantly vomiting, and dealing with severe gastrointestinal symptoms. It was the sickest I have ever felt in my life with severe nausea. At the same time, my 3‑year‑old daughter suddenly spiked a 103.5° fever and developed diarrhea. My husband had to rush her to urgent care, and from there she was sent to the ER so she could receive fluids. Watching my child go through that was terrifying. After a week of not improving, I went to urgent care and tested positive for Salmonella poisoning. My daughter also tested positive while she was hospitalized. We are both still dealing with symptoms. I am going on a second strong course of antibiotics today. After my test result was reported, the LA County Department of Public Health contacted me. They told me that another woman in Redondo Beach, who had eaten the same salad on 12/22, also tested positive for Salmonella and had been hospitalized for several days. I later spoke with her and her family, and hearing her story was heartbreaking. LA County has opened an investigation, and I am cooperating fully. I'm sharing what happened to us in hopes that it helps others stay aware and safe.

Food is meant to be shared and is perfect for a night out or celebration. The dishes are so imaginative--flavorful and visually appealing. We started off with cheese appetizer to warm up. Not amazing but a solid starter. The badger flame beet salad was very tasty with pistachio and ruby red grapefruit. Not much greens but delicious. The hamachi crudo tasted fresh but I'm a purist and always prefer the fish flavor over the vinaigrette dressing. The beef tartare was a tad under seasoned imo. The mains blew my mind. Usually the mains are outshined by the starters in a fine dining establishment. Not here! The Indian egg was something I've never had. A soft boiled egg enveloped with an Indian spiced sausage was surrounded by cucumber, sumac, and yogurt. A mandatory order. The smoked and fried chicken (brined a few days prior per our server) was hot, delicious, and complimented with a soy and chile sauce. Great meal in itself. Get it! Hand rolled spaghetti was coiled with a mixture of mushrooms in a brown butter sauce. Super savory. Great starch, goes well with everything. Can't wait to try more dishes during future visits!

From the incredible waterfront views to the amazing food and outstanding service, it made for the perfect date night. We started with the clam chowder and crab cakes, which were both fantastic. For our entrées, we had the Linguini Del Mar and the Petite Filet (added a side of peppercorn sauce), and every single bite was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The highlight of the evening, though, was our server, Greg. He made us feel completely at home from the moment we sat down. His recommendations were spot on, he was attentive without ever being intrusive, and when my girlfriend got a little chilly on the patio, he even brought her a blanket without us having to ask. It's those thoughtful little touches that truly elevate an experience. As the sun began setting over the marina, Alison Brecht performed live acoustic music that created the most romantic atmosphere. She even took a couple requests, including mine and my girlfriend's favorite songs. Sitting outside by the fire table, enjoying an incredible meal while listening to live music and watching the boats in the harbor, felt like something out of a movie. It was the perfect backdrop for celebrating our anniversary. Sea Level exceeded every expectation we had.
