    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.

    Was pleasantly surprised with the food of this place. Relatively easy to get a reservation during the week. Definitely recommend sitting outside with the bonfire pits. Service was a little slow and the we got our food very spaced out hence the 4 instead of 5 stars.

    Crab pasta and salt and vinegar fries

    Loved the view of the beach and the live music. The staff was really friendly and welcoming. My friend and I shared the lobster pasta which was delicious and the salt and vinegar fries which were also amazing! Would definitely come back again. I'm not much of a drinker but the drink I got was pretty good a little too strong for my personal liking but I'm sure others who drink more would enjoy it.

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

    Hubbers and I had a mid-week day free, and with a couple of pups on hand, we brainstormed and thought about where to spend that free time. Hermosa Beach it is. And Hubbers suggested this place for a late-ish lunch because he's been here before and had a positive experience. Outdoor seating only since we had the furballs. We had our choice of where since we were the only customers on a late lunch hour. Servers were so patient with our pups (even when they were moody - my apologies!) and were even nice enough to bring them water bowls! It was a cool and cloudy day, but that didn't damper anything. In fact, we appreciated it coming off the heat wave from the last couple of weeks! Everything on their menu looked so good, it took me awhile to decide. But Hubbers and I agreed on the Kayak Tide Tray (+4 extra oysters) and the charred watermelon salad. In the meanwhile, I battled between lobster pasta and five dragon pastrami. (The pasta won out.) Hubbers went for the cedar planked Ora king salmon. And a couple of cocktails to wash it all down! KAYAK TIDE TRAY: The seasoned scallops were my favorites, hands down. The sauce was fantastic and didn't overpower the scallops' main essence. The oysters were shucked fresh and the sauces elevated the flavors a bit. Shrimps were chilled tender and had a nice chew. Cocktail sauce added flavor. The mussels? Sad to say, but half of them were served still frozen hard. So we took our time with it and let it thaw out which didn't happen until we were halfway our meal. Overall: excellent. CHARRED WATERMELON: This plate was so well put together! And not only is it pleasing to the eyes (nice touch with the micros!), it was the same with the palate. Watermelon was fresh. Charred only on one side (I'm curious what it would be like if they charred ALL the sides - will make this request - only if possible - next time!) Taking bites from each component of this salad makes all the difference: the acidity of the tomatoes are tempered by the burrata and the cucumbers, and the freshness of the watermelon makes it all refreshing. The onions added a bit of tart, as did the pomegranates. Didn't notice any macadamia nuts, but no matter! This is a must have! LOBSTER PASTA: Didn't happen... see below. LOBSTER ROLL: Served along with Hubbers' salmon plate (more on that later.) We had a different server at this point (our first one told us he was going on his break.) I thought Hubbers put in an order of this too, so I moved the plate to his side. Our server noticed this and said, "Are you sharing? Would you like an extra plate?" Hubbers confirmed he didn't other this. And that neither did I, but we are waiting on the lobster pasta. He then explained they are out of that dish, "was this not related to you?" Long story short, I told him I'd take the roll, no biggie. He offered to comp it, and if I like, I can put in another order. So I went for the pastrami. And as we waited for that, Hubbers and I split this and WOW. Bread was toasted and buttered perfect, generous with the amount of lobster, plating was a delight to the eyes, and overall delicious. I appreciated the aroma of the tarragon. Yum! FIVE DRAGON PASTRAMI: This is a generous serving, plenty to share with another. Lots of flavors with each bite but the well-seasoned and flavored pastrami dominates them all. The slaw was strong but the subtleness of the lappi balanced it out. Sourdough was perfectly toasted. I thought about not ordering this since I knew the lobster roll might have been enough, but I'm sure glad I went for it! Delish! Hubbers let me have a couple of bites off his salmon plate and O.M.G.!!! He sure picked a good one! Skin was seasoned crispy and the fish was so moist! This is probably one of the best versions of salmon I've had. (For the record, I rarely order anything salmon since 90-95% of the time, they're served dry, but this one here, I'd highly recommend.) FOOD: 4.75. SERVICE: 5. They were AMAZING!!! VALUE: 4. Given the location, pricing is understandable. But worth it. PARKING: Street/Structure only. All metered. And getting here will require a bit of a walk depending on where you parked. OVERALL: 4.5. Plans on coming back here with more people is now in the works. Looking forward to doing that soon!

    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.

    Came here for brunch on a Saturday @ noon and there were plenty of tables available. Servers were super nice. We got a table on the patio which was great. I got a mimosa to start which was good but small. I then got a Aperol spritz which was good and worth the price. I ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage. It was so yummy! My friend got the burrito with bacon but the bacon came in chunks which wasn't good. The burrito also wasn't on all of the menus so just know it's available even if it's not on the menu you have. Overall the vibe was good and the food was tasty. Make sure to book a reservation in advance otherwise you might not get a table outside.

    Great vibes at Vista Hermosa Beach. Enjoying a nice hazy IPA and great Mezcal tequila cocktail. Great patio oceanfront beach vibes

    Great wings and fries. Servers were very attentive and friendly. Great oceanfront beach patio vibes at Hermosa Beach. Definitely a great place to experience.

    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

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

It was really busy when we visited, so we expected a wait for our food, but no, 10 minutes later our omelette and eggs Benedict arrived. A few minutes after that, the owner stopped by to chat, and we learned how they were able to open the restaurant so quickly. (Turns out it wasn't quick at all, they'd been looking for a location for quite some time.) We were so impressed that we went back two days later for a late afternoon sandwich. The Village was already thriving, but with Martha's here, it just keeps getting better.

I had a pretty solid positive outlook on them. I ordered the "French Toast Latte". I feel like it should have been called the Burnt toast latte. I genuinely took 3 sips and tossed it away in the trash can on the side walk. I tried to mix it and grabbed a straw to do so and it made it WORSE. I'm extremely disappointed that I wasted $7 on a latte. I've had bad coffees before, but this one took the cake. It tasted like milk, and the espresso tasted acidic, burnt have you. At least with other bad coffees I could stomach at least half of it but this was just really acidic. I noticed other people mentioning the coffee scene in LA isn't the same anymore and this attested to that. They started picking up foot traffic & I wasn't going to wait to ask for a remake or anything, I took the L and life moves on. I wasn't going to play Karen about it. The Lamington pastry somewhat saved the experience. This was an extremely moist, spongy, sweet cake that was delicious with coconut flakes on top. She was AMAZING. I snagged a piece off my friends and it was reeallllly good. I would recommend if you like coconut and a softer spongy cake like pastry! Talk about the underdog in this trip. The aesthetic is cute, it's clean and resembles a house. I like the scheme they have going on. The other half looks like a gift shop that I did not go into. They have a restroom available as well inside. Customer service was just customer service. Nothing amazing or bad about it. Pretty standard. We mentioned it's our first time & the girl didn't really care lol. We had questions and it was very whatever kind of vibe. No enthusiasm. Parking would be on the street so good luck!

I kept it simple and ordered the Chicken Panini which has Marinated Chicken Breast, Melted Provolone Cheese, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Brown Mustard, and Mayo. I also got a bag of chips on the side but those were just lays so let's keep that out of the review. The food came out pretty quickly (that tends to happen with sandwiches and salads) and it was a perfectly fine panini. Even though the food was good, it didn't have any qualities that stood out, but it was solid and that's really all I can think of saying. Overall, Cafe Bonaparte is a solid little spot for sandwiches and salads. The service here was solid, the place itself has a nice environment, and it's location right next to the beach will have be back in the area many times, and maybe, just maybe, I'll have to check out the large baked good selection in the front.
