Though the house salsa was delicious and added flavor, the huevos rancheros were still missing something. Burritos- hit Shrimp cocktail- especially with the house salsa-HIT Pancakes- HIT, tasted creamy, fluffy and caramelized.

When I went, service was ok. They don't deserve such a low rating. I think Uncle Bills is better, but I understand why it's way more crowded. So come for the view, just don't be prepared to get your socks blown off by the food. It's passable, come for the view. So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work."

He is an extremely kind, gracious, diligent, and a consummate professional. He has a great memory and knew all the regulars. He knew the menu like the back of his hand and always had excellent, thoughtful recommendations. We hope he is doing amazing and wish him every happiness, he truly is a rockstar, anyone would be lucky to have him on their team.

It was hard to have a conversation but the burrito definitely made up for it. Super delicious and what you expect a burrito to taste like and more. The tater tots were also yummy and super crispy. YUM! The French Toast for me was underwhelming and it was cooked inconsistently with the other toast it came with ... wasn't my fav and wouldn't order again. Dry and not for me.

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.

It's also very kid-friendly--they provided a high chair and even gave my little one a small toy, which was such a thoughtful touch. Ordering was easy, and our food came out quickly. The food, however, was just okay. The Banana French Toast was way too sweet--it was covered in syrup. I expected the banana to be incorporated into the toast, but it was really just a few slices on top. It ended up being overly rich, and I could only manage a few bites. There were also quite a few flies buzzing around our table during the meal, which definitely took away from the experience.

To our surprise, we were seated almost immediately at a clean table, even though we were with a child. The service was friendly, attentive, and everything came out much faster than we expected. The food looked just as good as it tasted. The smoked salmon and avocado toast was fresh and perfectly balanced, the spinach breakfast wrap was light but filling, and the yogurt bowl with fresh berries made a great addition to the meal. The coffee was excellent, and the iced matcha was refreshing on a warm day. The atmosphere is bright, relaxed, and perfect for a slow breakfast or brunch near the beach. Even with a full house, the staff stayed organized and never made us feel rushed. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Manhattan Beach.

Father's Day Brunch. Excellent experience. Special two course meal with special menu offerings…read more Seriously, one course is more than enough, we had two plus appetizers! But no worries, we love leftovers! Food is always so creative and wonderful.at Tin Roof. Although we no longer live in Manhattan, still one if our favorite restaurants. Food and service are stellar! We started with cocktails, and of course prepared by our favorite bartender / cocktail specialist extraordinaire, Clark. Off Your Head (Bloody Mary) and Ophella's White Sangria. Both were very tasty! Tin Roof has an excellent cocktail program as does their Simmzy's locations. We started out with Brussel Sprouts. Definitely a hit with the whole table. Tin Roof definitely has the best around, flavorful with a nice crunch, never soggy! We all ordered a variery of starters for our first course. Several had Ceasar Salads. Several had the Watermelon and Feta Salad. One had the Bloddy Mary Deviled Eggs, and another had the Fig; Pistashio, and Cottage Cheese Toast. Everyone loved what they ordered. We were full before our next courses arrived! Our server was Malcolm. He was very attentive even though it was an extremely busy afternoon since it was Father's Day. He was very helpful explaining some of the options only offered on today's menu. They offered a Bistro Burger (five out of six of us ordered!) and I wanted to know how different this burger was from their Simmzy's Burger (my personal favorite). He was spot on, explained it was smokey in flavor and quite different with the pretzel bun. It was so.good, served with fries (best shoestring fries!), onion rings, and piled so high you had to use a fork and knife to eat it! We left beyond full! Definitely we will be back soon!
