Just off the pier, a cozy find, With pours of wine and cocktails kind. The branzino sings, the mussels shine, Sea bass done right--refined, divine. The bread arrives (a rare delight), And even kids clean plates at night. Not quite perfect, but close to bliss-- Zane's is a spot you shouldn't miss. read more

If you are in the South Bay, you have to check out Zane's Restaurant in Hermosa Beach! ​Pro tip: make sure to snag a seat right in the window by the bar. It is hands-down the best spot in the house for dinner because you get the most stunning, unobstructed views of the sunset over the pier. ​Let's talk food--you absolutely need to order the poke! It is incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and practically melts in your mouth. Pair it with a cocktail and you are set. ​But honestly, the real highlight of the night was our bartender, Chris Traven. We love him! He took such amazing care of us, made the best drinks, and his energy totally elevated the whole experience. If you go, definitely sit at the bar and say hi to Chris! ​ Zane's Restaurant, Hermosa Beach ​#ZanesHermosaBeach #HermosaBeach #SouthBayFoodie #LosAngelesEats #LAFoodReview #SunsetViews #LAPoke #BartenderLove #SouthBayLA #HermosaPier read more

Only had shrimp scampi happy hour / social hour for $16. It doesn't come with pasta but it does have juices to dip bread in or take home to make some pasta. The bread no longer comes with the 3 dips. But it is good and free. Ambience. Outdoor seating is nice on a nice day to watch foot traffic. Indoors seemed a bit more formal. Next door is an ice cream shop with giant connect 4 that the kiddos can play with if dine outdoors. Service was friendly and good but they only had 1 server outdoors I posted multiple menus because it was different on door than on table. Table dessert had plantains foster added. read more

Food:4 Ambience :4 Service: 5. It was a slow Monday night! When greeted by the hostess, she was distracted by a friend that had dropped by and threw the menus and left. Thank God our waiter was WAY BETTER! We ordered the calamari, the bread. Well seasoned and crunchy. Dough was a bit much but not bad. We also had the truffle pasta and the whole Branzino. Both were good. And the bananas foster. 1 bottle of Pinot noir and with 20% tip equaled $225. Not bad but menu is limited and standard. I would go back once more and taste the rest.

I've been coming to Zane's off and on for a few years now, and the quality of the food just keeps getting better. The atmosphere immediately transports you--like stepping into a New York-style restaurant--making it clear you're in an elevated dining environment. The manager, Christine, is an absolute gem. She sets the tone for the entire team and trains her staff to deliver impeccable service every time. Also, best espresso martini on the pier by a mile. read more

Everything went extremely well this evening while traveling through Hermosa Beach with my friend. We stopped in the most charming part of town and looked up reviews on this application. We were greeted with extremely nice smiles and happy people into an environment of joy and great smells. Daniela or Danielle? Was our waitress and she was sparkling with humor, intelligence, and a wonderful everything else. The most important thing here was the food and it did not disappoint in anyway I had calamari and then the black truffle pasta with shrimp and my friend had the salmon with vegetables. Both were perfectly cooked, spiced and delicious in every way. The beer selection was also important to us and it did not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and steer your Body and soul to this restaurant. You will not be disciplined. read more

Visiting from Washington state and had dinner here with my daughter last night. Such a great spot! The food was amazing and the service was truly spectacular. We shared a Caesar salad and the Chicken Piccata, both delicious, and enjoyed a bottle of Pinot Noir. Everything was perfectly done and made for a really lovely evening. Definitely a place we'll come back to when I'm in Hermosa Beach. read more

I hate to leave a review like this- but the food was really terrible. The atmosphere is great, but the food and service isn't . The food is honestly awful. The only good thing we had was the muscles. The salmon was just ok. The tomato soup was bad, the chicken is terrible. Dry and thin. Honestly the worst food in the area. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Every dish was a winner. Great ambience. The grilled artichoke, focaccia made in-house, shrimp scampi, and cocktails were all scrumptious. Service was stellar. Plus we met a couple who sat next to us and made a second date. read more

Drinks, service, atmosphere were all great. Then there's the food. Not so great. I was starving, so I was excited when the server told us that focaccia bread was coming out. It was piping hot and looked delicious. It was not. It was so bland. Even with the cheese/herb topping. Does bread need salt?! Because this needed...something. It was just super disappointing. Then for the entrees...I got the eggplant Parmesan. It arrived lukewarm-the cheese on top wasn't even melted all the way. It tasted good, so I guess there's that. My friend got the sea bass. It was a perfect oval shape like it had been processed and pressed into a mould. It was stringy and tough. The butter sauce had good flavor, but the fish was just BAD. The bartender offered to have the chef cook another one but it was equally as bad. It at least looked like fish, but still had a tough stringy texture. The bartender took it off our bill but did not seem surprised that we returned it to the kitchen. The drinks were delicious and the appetizer (zucchini) was really good. But I'd stop at that point knowing what I know now. Drinks, apps-yes. Entrees-no. read more

Great spot for happy hour! The food was delicious especially the mushroom truffle pizza. The service was great; we sat outside and the server was very nice and prompt. Bonus points for being dog friendly outside! One less star because the cocktail fell a bit flat. read more

We have been to Zane's many times over the years. Food is constantly good. This past Monday we went to celebrate my daughter's birthday. To say the service was dismal is an understatement. Our party of 6 waited forever to be served. No explanation given by server. Our 500.00 bill with poor service was not justifiable. read more

Been living in South Bay forever and finally tried Zane's. Celebrated a friends bday here and got seated immediately with reservation. Nice buzzy vibe with tables, booths and small bar seating. Calamari was excellent to start. Brought our own wine and fair corkage - 1st free, 2nd bottle $25. We all split house salads. Pastas were good with ravioli, bolognese and truffle. My Salsicce Blanco was a big disappointment with no nuance to it. It was a very large heap of pasta and way too much sausage and broccoli being used instead of broccolini and all the parts of the stems were cut up and included. Aren't those the pieces you throw out ? - I do! Overall not so good. Our waiter was great and food came out in timely manner. We also got piece of delicious tiramisu for the bday girl. Overall good experience and would come again! read more

Came here on Valentine's Day for the first time. They had a set menu that day. I ordered the filet mignon and my gf ordered the butter squash ravioli. I told the waitress I wanted medium rare, but instead it was well done. Barely any redness and blood. The texture was a bit rough and dry, but it was seasoned well with salt and pepper. I enjoyed eating the side broccoli and fried potatoes it came with. I give it a 6/10. As for the butternut squash ravioli, I'll give it 4/10. We didn't expect it to be sweet. The overall flavor was unique, but it didn't fit our preference for savory and salty food. In addition, there was like only like 6 to 7 pieces of ravioli. Price didn't fit well with the dish. For appetizers we had the calamari. The batter was okay. It wasn't crispy enough like we hope, but the orange mayo sauce had a nice touch to it. I'll give it a 6/10. Overall, the whole experience and ambiance was cool. Food looks good and taste average. Customer services was good and friendly. Would come back here again with friends. read more

Great Food, Service and Ambience. In the heart of Hermosa Beach and very fair pricing as well.

Update: After my review of Zane's Restaurant. My wife and I kept going back because we love the food, drinks and ambiance as well as the workers there. BTW, yes we sat at the bar and yes Chris the bartender was there. After getting to know him I must say that of the many restaurants that we patronize in and around Hermosa Beach that he is one of our favorite bartender's. I see how busy he can get making drinks when the place is crowded and he does it with ease. Definitely will continue to patronize Zane's Restaurant and have some funny conversations with Chris The Bartender.Cheers read more

Quality is bad. They try to make dishes that seem and look high end, but the taste is wanting. Bread is good, steak frites is good, pastas were horrible, chicken picatta was horrible, etc. For the price you're paying you should be getting higher quality food. read more

Zane's is a great place for drinks or drinks and dinner. Their menu is large and varied. Our party oh 8 had various entrees ranging from tenderloin cheeseburger, strip steak, sea bass, scallops, linguini and clams etc. the service was excellent and the ambiance was festive and lively. Like any Hermosa Beach restaurant you've got limited parking so you may have to hunt for a spot or go to the public parking lot on Hermosa Ave. Reservations are suggested. Give it a try. read more

Tiny place on the inside but more space in their outdoor dining/parklet space. Definitely great food! Their bread was also delicious and had 3 different dips :) The lobster ravioli was tasty and not overly fishy! The pink sauce wasn't too creamy and was delicious! The scallops were cooked wonderfully and the cauliflower purée was surprisingly flavorful! I would possibly return but probably won't dine inside - it's warm, very cramped and humid compared to outside... Their restrooms definitely see the wear and tear of so many people using them. The mens had a broken lock and the womens was partially flooded, with water puddles on the floor, and out of soap. Parking is also difficult during the summer months but there's a structure nearby that more likely has spaces for the cooler months. read more

Everything was soooooo bland. I am shocked at all the good reviews, scallops were tough and tasteless. Definitely not going back read more

We had a fantastic evening at Zane's. Delicious food from appetizers to desserts and of course our main dishes were really good. Pizza was also delicious. Friendly staff and wonderful ambience too. Only thing keeping me from 5 stars was the wait for food. To be fair, it was a very busy Friday night. The pizza didn't come out with the rest of our food so some of our party had to wait a little longer while we ate. Not a big deal, we will go back! read more

How has this restaurant survived?? Some of the worst food and service I've experienced in a long time. Atmosphere is super cute but food is shockingly awful. Greasy, frozen quality. Avoid at all costs!! read more

We sat outside, it was a little cold but they turned on heaters for us. I ordered the ribeye, cauliflower and brussel sprouts. The food was not bad but not amazing either. The steak was a little disappointing, I expect a ribeye to be more flavorful than this. Overall, I had a good experience. The service is good, the location is great, I would definitely return to try other dishes. read more

The breakfast brunch pizza was great. when it finally, finally, finally had food arrive... Drinks were not great and service was lacking.

Dear Zane's: I was craving Butternut Squash Ravioli which can be a challenge to find on menus. My GPS search sent me to you. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for including Butternut Squash Ravioli in Browned Butter w/ Sage on your menu! It was DELISH and perfectly satisfied my craving! The warm bread is also very good! Husband & I are excited to return as we loved the awesome vibe too! Much love, xo read more

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Start with the wonderful complimentary homemade loaf of bread that comes with 3 dipping sauces... hummus, oil and balsamic, and an amazing olive tapenade. The skirt steak with chimichurri was cooked to a perfect medium rare with a nice char. The sea bass was light flaky and delicious. It came with asparagus and roasted fingerling potatoes that were very nice. The crispy Brussel Sprouts were the star of the show. They were deep fried to a perfect crisp and were light like clouds and packed full of flavor. The truffle tater tots were a fun side to share. Indoor and outdoor dining available. Fun modern ambience, not too loud. read more

This place used to be one of my fav spots. Went Sunday they are open till 2am. Was sitting by the glass window got to see a street brawl up close. First time back after the pandemic. The seafood is good here so I got the marinara rotto and a good glass of bud light to open up the taste bud and refresh feel Not sure if you guys know drink a light beer helps open the taste buds. Also they served the bread as usual, trade mark for them and it was yum. We did not get the three sauces that are normally given. Not sure if we didn't get it as we went near kitchen closing. Overall as usual this place is exactly what I expected. read more

Great happy hour. Great corkage policy. Really good food. Locals favorite. Great people watching from window seats

I've been here twice now and 5/5 each time without a doubt. The first time had reservations at a restaurant nearby at 7:30 with plans to catch the sunset beforehand but there was no sun! So rerouted to try and find a happy hour nearby and landed at Zane's because I had a calamari craving. Squeezed in at the side bar with my girl 10 min before HH ended, grabbed a martini and G&T quick and easy and got our calamari maybe 15 min after. Perfect. Came back tonight after a day out at Hermosa. Made a 5:45 res for an outdoor table because we had chairs, a cooler, beach stuff, etc. And our experience was just as ideal. Service top tier, drinks spectacular and food just right. I've read a lot of past reviews of this place and I can say objectively they seem to take any critiques to heart and make the changes people want. I can 1000% stand behind a business like this. I look forward to being a regular here and bringing friends when they come to visit. read more

We've been to Zane's several times since we are local to the area and it is usually a pleasant experience. We were recently there for a birthday dinner and they fell flat. The bad: - Our reservation was for 7pm but we weren't seated until 7:30. - We were a party of 10 and some entrees were brought out 10 minutes after the rest of the table was served. - I ordered a skirt steak cooked black and blue (just seared) and it came out well done. - My girlfriend also ordered the skirt steak well done and it also was not correctly cooked. The good: - They brought out another skirt steak to replace the incorrectly cooked one although at that point I declined since people had already been eating for 20 minutes. Probably won't be back after this last experience. read more

I have been wanting to try Zane's happy hour for a while now. The happy hour is every Monday-Friday from 5-6:30PM, which is perfect for those who want to do happy hour at a later time than the typical 3-6PM type of places. It is a solid 4 out of 5 star happy hour experience based on food and price. I shared the parmesan fries, truffle tots, and burger between 2 people and it was more than enough food. The truffle tots was the best dish of the night by far. When it came to the table, it looked piping hot. Knowing damn well how hot it was, I still took the risk of eating it. I was exhaling steam and it was super crispy. The tots were full of truffle flavor and there was a nice big portion to share. I would come back to Zane's happy hour for just the tots honestly. I'd likely skip the parmesan fries next time since it was not especially crunch nor flavorful. The burger was decent, but it is not enough to bring me back to the restaurant. Overall a great experience and would come back for just tots. read more

It is a nice restaurant in the busy streets of Hermosa Beach. We were seated outside. However, their heaters did not work and we got a bit cold as the sun was setting. Kids ordered buttered noodles(not in the menu) and the portions were huge. For small kids, maybe one was enough. I ordered their Cocktail of the Day, and it was delicious. Their steak was okay, too. Server was nice and attentive most of the time. We all enjoyed our dining experience at Zane's. read more

My family and I tried this place on July 7th and our waitress was Christine M. We were a party of 7 (including a 6 year old) and when it came to paying our check, it's then I realized why she didn't deliver a proper customer service that didn't occur to me earlier. 20% is automatically added to the bill when it's a large party of 6 or more. Explains why she never checked in, and when requested for something, she would be cold in her response, and as she gave the check, she walked away mid sentence when telling us about the automatic 20%. The worst part, we ordered a caesar salad and I forgot to ask Christine if the dressing has chopped anchovies (some places have it, some don't). As mentioned earlier, she hardly came by to check in so I ended up asking the Host, and she said she'll check in with the kitchen and get back to us. Later, the waitress Christine came back to get the additional orders and since the host hadn't come back yet, I asked Christine the same question and with cold response, she said no it doesn't have fish in it and her facial expression really bothered me with how she responded. Luckily, right at that moment, the host returned and confirmed that the dressing DOES HAVE anchovies in it. So imagine that. Had we relied on the waitress, that didn't bother to get her facts straight or check in with the kitchen, we would've ate it when one of our family members is allergic to fish. She did not deserve that 20% tip. read more
