@peninsulataphouse in Southbay Palos Verdes…read more If you're looking for a date idea, we went for a hike in Palos Verdes and came here for lunch! Dog-friendly, good vibes, awesome beer and food! Chill and laid back. The got live music and featured bands as well as trivia nights! We loved their burgers and fries and the chicken wings were solid, too. Fish is fresh for heathy options. Simple yet well done. The burgers are a standout! Beer selection on tap had great options with featured cocktails and wines. This tap house will definitely be apart of our date rotation! Thanks to Jennifer for the kindness and hospitality.

The shadier table we chose helped. This seems like a welcoming place with seats around a pit fire. Great selection of cocktails. The recommended Purple Haze was enjoyed by both people. Their alcohol seems limited to cocktails and wine. Mocktails offered as well. Coffee - only have brewed but it was strong. I wasn't sure what to order this being my first time but after seeing Eggs Benedict with perfect-looking poached eggs arriving to nearby diners, I got my first Crab Eggs Benedict. Whoa! Amazing, with 2 crab cakes all meat! The eggs should have been poached eggs perhaps another 30 seconds but I'd rather have them under than overcooked. Get their Breakfast Potatoes which comes with most brunch dishes - big pieces, crisp on the outside, plenty of onions and also red peppers. Fantastic meal choice for a birthday brunch. My friends likewise enjoyed their Fish tacos Salmon Eggs Benedict and Chicken Breast Sandwich Prices are all reasonable. They have a lot of good specials during the week and would you believe, Free steak and lobster on your actual birthday!? I plan on finding out how much on my birthday. Another reason to love this place is for their Happy hour, which ends at 7, Monday - Friday. HT has their own parking too. Parking in this area is challenging on Sundays because of the Farmers Market. Note: They brought a tiramisu slice for the birthday gal but we only found out they charge $13 for it when we got the bill. By 1:15pm, the patio was mostly full in an area with a lot of dining choices. Wished I lived closer but seriously might return in a few months for my birthday brunch!

Popped in for a light dinner and left pretty disappointed--the food is simply too average for the…read moreprice point, and the service was on the slower side to boot. We started with the calamari and shrimp; while the shrimp tasted fresh, the calamari was thin, chewy, and tasted very old. Next came the crab cakes, which were tiny and completely unremarkable. We honestly debated leaving to eat elsewhere halfway through, but decided to stick it out. The last item we ordered was the battered rockfish tacos, served with chips (though strangely, no salsa). They featured a decent cilantro-mint-mango flavor profile that easily made them the highlight of the meal. The cocktails were just okay. Looking back, we probably should have gone elsewhere.

First time at Riviera House, our server was nice but slow. We arrived during happy hour.

Wanted to order food from the happy hour menu, but happy hour had ended since it took so long for the server to come back. Food was meh. The crispy rice on the spicy tina bites was too crispy and there wasn't a ton of flavor. Salmon BLT was super salty. Salmon picatta was just ok. Not a bad choice, but there are better options in the village.

Came here for an early dinner Saturday and sat outside on the patio. They have a small patio with…read moreheaters. It got pretty toasty without any fans because the restaurant doesn't face the ocean and is blocked from the wind. They have a large dining room with open air and air conditioning. The staff were welcoming upon arrival. I ordered an Aperol spritz to drink and it was good. For dinner, I order the Burger of the Month which was a double stacked barbecue coleslaw pineapple burger. My waiter told me it comes with gorgonzola cheese and that most people swapped it with cheddar cheese so I did that. It was soooo good!!! I highly recommend as long as you like barbecued pineapple on a burger. I always have a good experience at Rockefeller no matter the location so I'll definitely be back!

The owner, Miguel, made patrons feel uncomfortable by confronting people in the restroom, misgendering cis women, and attempting to embarrass them in front of other customers.

You didn't even apologize for being disrespectful. It's 2026 grow up.

One of my favorite spots on the Peninsula to slow down, grab a drink, and let the night unfold. The room has great energy, ocean views, glowing fireplaces, and a crowd that's clearly happy to be there. It's the kind of place where you settle into a chair, sip something strong, and suddenly two hours disappear. What makes it special is the live music. Local musicians play most nights from about 7-11pm, creating the perfect soundtrack for the evening. This past Saturday we stopped in after dinner at Nelson's on the property, an excellent combination. We caught Olivia Pucci, who lit up the Terranea lobby in a striking red dress, delivering smooth, soulful vocals that set the tone immediately. Her mix of pop, jazz, and mellow classics is perfect for cocktails and oceanfront vibes, backed by a tight trio on piano/keyboard and guitar. Honestly, this is Palos Verdes at its best: great drinks, live music, ocean air drifting in, and a relaxed crowd enjoying the moment. The best nights are the ones where you stop watching the clock and just soak it all in, this is exactly that kind of place.

And I were so excited to come to - The Gingerbread lounge. Which is located inside their main lobby bar. It's a small little pop up bar decorated like a gingerbread house and other fun Christmas decorations (Anything at this resort is beautiful. Especially during the holidays) so it's safe to say the atmosphere is great. The gingerbread lounge offers -Cocktails -Mocktails -snacks / desserts. mostly cookies. They have about 12 different sweets. And it runs from -November 29, to Friday, January 2; weekdays from 4 to 10 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays from 2 to 10 p.m.  Unfortunately, we got there and it was closed. There's a few different dates circulating around saying it closes on the 2, 3rd and one place Even said the 5th. A worker did say they closed before the end date though. (We should have called. Especially with a couple different dates circulating for the gingerbread lounge) So we were not able to enjoy the gingerbread lounge. However, they did have enough to make 2 different cocktails from their limited menu. Which I got the- CLAUSMOPOLITAN - Ketel One Oranje Vodka, Cranberry and Vanilla Bean Puree, Lime Juice and a Frosted Sugar Rim (I don't think they did the sugar rim. Which is fine. They were out of everything from the pop up bar) They were all out of the dessert options from the gingerbread bar So we ordered from the regular menu. We got a lobby seat. Which, the lobby is very nice. Has great seating, couches and etc. has a couple fire places. I went to the bar and asked them how it worked. I was able to have my drink made, and I took it to my table while he sent the waiter over to take our other orders. Carson was very very friendly. But since it was busy he really wasn't to be found I ordered the-MARGHERITA PIZZA fior di latte, tomato sauce, basil (This is a one size pizza, it's not huge, but it's great if you're sharing other things) this was delicious But I'll be honest. I came for the drinks. I asked the bartender at the main bar area if he could make me something special. I wanted the - pornstar (he laughed, and agreed to it) Carson, our server dropped it off at our table right at the same time as Michelle's drink came out. Michelle had the -EQUINOX * lyre's agave blanco, hibiscus, lemon (This was delicious AND beautiful. Loved the color of it) Michelle also ordered -CARAMEL CRÈME BRULEE CHEESECAKE caramel cheesecake, crème brulee, baci crust seasonal berries tossed in mango passion compote I then had the bartender pick a drink for me. He went with the very popular-UNDER THE PALMS. tito's handmade vodka, lillet rosé, lemongrass, pandan, lemon, coconut water Very refreshing! I could drink these at the pool or at a polo match and just relax. P.S- this place also offers flights! It was also a very very rainy day. And valet was amazing!!!!! He saw me walking in heels and carrying Michelle's gift bag and my purse. He stood next to me with the umbrella. I kept telling him he didn't have to and I actually love the rain lol. But he insisted. As soon as we got to a covered place right by the door he told me to keep the umbrella and use it for the rest of the night. I wish I had his name. He was absolutely amazing and he went above and beyond I will say, the staff here are all amazing. Even the comment about the waiter, Carson being a little slow, he was great, he was just taking care of sooooo many different people This was still such a fun time! I loved having some small food bites and drinks with my girl. The tree inside and outside was still lit up To be honest I love the lobby bar. It was raining, but it still had nice views. I love the different seating. They have a large community table, separate tables, they have nice leather chairs but I really wanted the couch area to not be taken up. If I'm comfortable, Have a bff with me And I'm drinking? I could have stayed all night. I would of lived there Bathroom is also very close to the lobby bar Parking is good for me. The handicap parking is up close and I don't have to pay a fee because the handicap sticker. (If you don't have a handicap sticker unfortunately the parking can be far or expensive) If you go to places like the Spa or restaurants closer to the water. They have people on golf carts take you all around the grounds to where you are going So I highly suggest not just coming to the lobby bar and to check out more of the resort. I could spend hours here I can't wait for the gingerbread lounge for Christmas 2026.

We've become…read moreregulars and find ourselves here at least twice a week because the experience is consistently outstanding. If you're lucky enough to stop by when Dave is behind the bar, you're in for a real treat. He's an exceptional bartender who genuinely cares about every detail. From making sure your food comes out just right to serving your drink at the perfect temperature, he goes out of his way to ensure everything is exactly as it should be. That level of attention is rare these days. And make sure to say hello to Amber while you're there. She's incredibly friendly, welcoming, and one of those people who makes every visit a little more enjoyable. She always has a smile and makes the trip worth it. We're fortunate to have a place like this so close to home. Great food, outstanding service, and a team that truly cares keep us coming back week after week.

Was just there today to catch up with an old friend who loved visiting here…read more It was a great day in Redondo ended by an odd interaction here that left a bad taste in my memory and I won't be returning. After two nice spritz's I attempted to use the restroom only to be stopped by a server. She asked what I was trying to do and when I said simply use the restroom, she replied, "no it's for customers only." It was odd because we just spent nearly $70 there right next to where she was working, dressed like all the other beach goers that day. She said "oh" and let me go with no kindness or apology. No clue how I was identified, and it felt very profiled. But just left me feeling weird and not like I want to go back there or recommend it to anyone. In summary: Drinks and food was fine. One staff member was great. The vibe that server gave me ruined my day.
