    Waygu Double Smashburger
    Karen L.

    We took a friend here for lunch today and everything was A+! Parking is free and right next to the restaurant which in LA is always a plus. First off, the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and everyone made us feel so welcoming for our friend's birthday. Our server, Alycia, went above and beyond to make our visit so special. The service was outstanding and our food was delicious. We had the Club Sandwich smoked turkey, applewood smoked bacon, tomato, avocado, provolone, onion brick, roasted garlic aioli (two of us) and the Smash Burger-double-stacked Wagyu beef, American cheese, house sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onion. I had truffle fries that were delicious as well! For dessert, we had the Sticky Toffee Pudding with Fosselman's Salted Caramel Ice Cream and caramel sauce. Thank you BOA for making our friend's birthday so wonderful.

    This was not our first time at BOA, but our first time at this location. I can say for sure we'll be back! Our delightful server Edgar was the cherry on top. He was attentive, patient and had the best personality. Thank you, Edgar for the amazing dining experience. My steak was kinda dry but the temperature was perfect. The chicken Parmesan is enough for two to share, so we'll be taking some of that home. The Wagyu meatball is so tasty! The classic Caesar salad is the BEST, and the Brussels sprouts with chorizo were delicious, even though we couldn't find any chorizo. All in all a great experience and we will return.

    One of the best steakhouses I've been to! The server was really knowledgeable and gave great recommendations for our larger group. The wagyu flight was delicious. The meat just melts in your mouth. The center cut filet was also cooked to perfection and seasoned well. All the appetizers and sides we had complimented the meal perfectly. Highly suggest the Mac and cheese as well as the smashed broccoli. It was seasoned so well you forget it's broccoli. Also recommend the cookies - the white chocolate macadamia was the perfect way to finish the meal

    Filet Mignon Center Cut with a side of Bearnaise and Peppercorn.

    A friend invited me to a birthday dinner at BOA Steakhouse in Manhattan Beach in early July 2026. I had never been nor heard of BOA but was excited to try their many steak offerings. Now, I am not a steak aficionado so my review will be quite tempered. If you look at their menu, you will see that this restaurant offers typical steak cuts such as American sirloin to Japanese Wagyu. If you prefer a lean cut of steak, then order the Filet Mignon. If you like a large piece, then go for Center Cut. If you can't finish a man-fist sized steak then order the Petite size. I ordered my steak medium done with bearnaise sauce and peppercorn sauce on the side. This was a conservative order considering that filet mignon does not contain fat, yet the seasoning of the meat was clean while the texture was tender yet hearty. The side sauces elevated the flavor. For example, the bearnaise had a citrusy taste that was perfect for summer while the peppercorn had a heartier flavor that made the meal more robust. For sides, I tried the lobster macaroni which had a strong seafood flavor that I could not abide. It also was not cheesy or saucey enough for me. No melty texture that most people like with mac and cheese. We also shared cream spinach which was acceptable, nothing impressive. We also had a side of fries which tasted like thick cut fries from a fast food joint. I wouldn't care to re-order these fries ever again. I would experiment with something more interesting. My dining mates ordered the Ribeye Medium which they enjoyed. I didn't try it so I cannot pass judgement on it. Shockingly, what stood out tus most of the meal was the dessert. We were gifted a toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. The pudding was a beautiful dark coloring which reminded me of aged rum. The texture was smooth with a sticky honey sweet topping that reminded me of lava. It paired perfectly with the crisp vanilla ice cream. Just divine! The server was incredibly kind and thoughtful to us. The restaurant itself was majestic in its jungle design. I did not feel like I was in Manhattan Beach because it felt so tropical. I definitely recommend this place for its steaks, but I wouldn't try different sides.

    Got you bestie -- added that in seamlessly and polished: Absolutely 5 stars. I'd happily pay for this experience again. So glad they brought one of my favorite restaurants from Hollywood to Manhattan Beach. I love the decor and ambiance of this place. Everything from start to finish was amazing. The service was amazing from start to end. Happy hour is such a vibe. The entire happy hour menu is perfect. So fun and worth it. The caviar cones were my favorite. I also got the oysters, which were so fresh. I got the fish and chips and truffle fries, and it did not disappoint. The Caesar salad was so good and they prepare it tableside, which made it even better. The BOA Fusion drink is my favorite. So good. And don't even get me started on dessert. The sticky toffee pudding and cookies are to die for. And of course, the wagyu was incredible. 10 out of 10 experience. I can't wait to come back.

    Came in on a Sunday late afternoon with some friends to celebrate. We were able to grab seats at the bar. Our server was very nice and we retreated by the host immediately who is also very friendly. We ordered drinks and fries to munch on. The ambience was nice. The restaurant was packed. I was definitely come back for dinner service as this was my first time at the Manhattan Beach location. Edgar was amazing and super attentive.

    What a fabulous dining experience! Everything from beginning to end was superb. Our service was impeccable - the waiter was thee ultimate host and was very knowledgeable of the best items on the menu. There were a few items we should've taken his advice on bc the options we chose weren't the greatest. The wagyu cigars 0/5 The complimentary tofu app 0/5 Our steaks- the cowboy Cajun and NY strip 5/5 - simply delicious and made to perfection. I thought the sides were good also but needed just a bit more seasoning. Our mocktails were very refreshing. Complimentary anniversary dessert was beautiful to the eye and delicious to taste - it looked much sweeter than it tasted and that was totally fine with me. The ambiance was soooo beautiful and made us feel like we were on vacation. We'll be back!

    Can't say enough about our experience at BOA in MB. Our waiter Kevin was awesome, the staff was kind and the people dining in were so kind too. It was a very positive and safe space. The food was amazing and so were the cocktails. Definitely be back with more family and friends.

    Good! Really good! Came here to for lunch with friends. It was a beautiful space, artfully designed, good food, great customer service, 1/2 dozen oysters. Fresh and tasty beautifully presented. Beef tartare. Well prepared and served with toasted bread and fries. Delicious!

    12 oz New York Strip Plate (very good)

    We had a couples dinner with a couple of friends and their S/Os at this BOA location in Manhattan Beach. The overall experience was very good. I don't remember the individual price of each item. However, the prices are in line with other high end steakhouses. We started off with the Full seafood platter, and it was packed. We enjoyed oysters, mussels, prawns, lobster, crab meat and I think poke. All of the seafood was super fresh, and the amount of food was plentiful for 6 of us. Secondarily, we had the bone marrow at the suggestion of our waiter. The meat on the toast was super moist, and the torching of the marrow at the table was a cool touch. Between all of us, we had ribeyes, NYs and one person had a filet mignon. There were no complaints, and the steaks were made as requested. The sides were really good, esp the fries and mac & cheese. The tallow fries were super crispy bc they were fried in beef fat, and the mac & cheese was rich from the truffle. Lastly, the comped desserts were a great way to end a savory meal. We appreciated the gesture bc of our large tab. Regarding the ambiance, its big in here and the tables are spaced nicely. It was easy to carry on a convo. Our waiter Kevin, was super knowledgable about the menu, and was on top of all our requests. He also decanted the wines we brought, and brought us fresh glasses for each wine. He also checked to make sure there were no spots on the wine glasses: The mark of a detailed waiter. We tipped him 20% on top of the taxed amount. Secondarily, the Manager, Vinny stopped by to say hello, and introduce himself. That was a nice touch. The only downside to the experience was at checkout. Corporate charges a $5.99 fee to pay via QR code. This is underhanded in my mind, and I refused to pay it. The Manager, Vinny stepped in and made it right by processing the payment the old fashioned way. The $5.99 fee should be eliminated bc most customers prolly don't notice it. Corporate should give full disclosure so customers can make informed decisions.

    Another enjoyable meal here. This was my first time coming for lunch. I ended up ordering a steak, but learned that they have burgers and sandwiches on their lunch menu! It's a really nice space inside and the service was friendly and attentive. The cook on my steak was a bit inconsistent, but still tasty nonetheless. The creamed spinach and fries were also delicious. This is a nice, upscale spot for a meal!

    Happy Hour menu
    Robert G.

    This review pertains to happy hour. Came here with a guest and had a nice time while doing a little people watching as well. Surprisingly enough, things weren't busting at the seams for happy hour other than what appeared to be a few business groups that were either coming from or preparing to leave for LAX. While preparing to order we noticed a nice touch..... It appeared that the large groups that were preparing for travel or had just arrived had a fair share of luggage and baggage with them. The host didn't hesitate to inform them that there was a place the restaurant could keep their luggage and belongings to get them out of the way while they dined. Nice! But back to the food.... We both went ahead and ordered the smashburger, with cheese and it was cooked to order. We went ahead and grabbed two crab cakes at $30 bucks a pop (not from the happy hour menu needless to say) and they were delicious. Last last but not least, the CSA, or customer service All Star was Renato. A very attentive gent whose recommendations were spot on as well as the quality of his service. Definitely recommend this joint particularly for happy hour.

    James M.

    Had the best birthday experience for one of my close friends from the world of design. They gave us the works, delicious appetizer ( bone marrow stocks), crispy wagu finger rolls. Of course the steak was the star of the show. It was only up staged by the exquisite customer service by a team of excellent waiters and waitresses. They made the Birthday girl feel like royalty.

    Was looking for a spot to eat at manhattan beach and based on my trusty yelpers reviews this seemed…read morelike the foodie spot to try. They weren't wrong. We started with the ceviche in Clamato with pieces of crab and avocado served with a delicious tortilla chips. I absolutely loved the flavor profile and couldn't get enough of the Clamato sauce. Then we moved to the weekend only special sea urchin, which Stephanie's parents personally bring down from Santa Barbara for weekend service. I'm usually indifferent at best to sea urchin, but this was excellent Then we shared the Jonah Crab Fusilli, another winner. I was driving, but hubby ordered a banhattan and it was another winner. They also have some beer and wine options as well as a full bar. Though very full by this point, just couldn't resist the pretzel bread pudding. The bread portion was crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside with a delicious salty caramel sauce. Served with a very smooth and delectable scoop of ice cream. There's indoor and outdoor seating. If you want to sit inside best to make a reservation. We did not have reservations, but were lucky to get outside seating. Service was fluid with different people coming around to ensure everything was tidy. Really enjoyed one of the staff, a young girl who cleared our table and delivered some of the dishes. Loved her chill surferish vibes.

Definitely suited our sensibilities to be close to the heart of this treasure, plus it can get cold out there! When our friendly and helpful server learned that we'd never been to FwD before, we were both treated a tasty amuse, a Peruvian scallop, one of their specialties. Served chilled, absolute heaven. Simple, fresh, delicious, and very pretty atop its shell. We ordered an appetizer, a different scallop dish, Pan Seared Diver Scallops. (Parsnip-potato puree, brown butter ponzu, capers). So good. Succulent, perfectly cooked and devilishly satisfying with its rich, savory flavor. We enjoyed the one dish that have been on their menu since the beginning, Koshihikari Rice. (short-grain Japanese rice, overnight chicken dashi, shrimp, uni, blue crab, cage-free egg yolk.) Wow. So much happening here, and yet it's a complete package. All the ingredients meld together sumptuously. It akin to Paella, or perhaps to a stuffed Risotto, although the Koshihikari Rice was very much its own dish. The server swerved and mixed the egg yolk on our plate, and we loved it. Our strategy to try a number of dishes and yet still have room for dessert worked. Many great choices, and I doubt we'd be disappointed with anything. However, we had heard from the table next to use that the key-lime pie was must. Happily, they were right. This Key Lime Pie is just sweet and just tart enough. Though I am not Key Lime Pie expert, this one struck me as imaginative with its meringue colony crowding the pie's surface for additional dessert debauchery. There nothing overwhelmingly citrusy about it, and it was light enough to help you feel satisfied and just right. The coffee was good, too. This is a low-key yet lovely dining experience in Manhattan Beach.

Every single dish that came out was super yummy, but the dish that blew mine and my husband's mind was that Branzino. Best Branzino we had ever tasted.

The Strand House offers good food, goodservice, and amazing views and vibes at reasonable, but upscale prices. We came with my family for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon. Off the lunch menu we had the Italian panini ($29), which was a surprisingly complex sandwich with mortadella, salami, onions, lettuce, fresh Marzano tomatoes, and many other vegetables. It was served with an exceptional set of fries, which had a great amount of garlic and the perfect blend of crisp on the outside and softness on the inside, along with tangy ketchup. The children got the pasta bolognese ($14), which was a standard bolognese, although the pasta was a little overcooked. We also got a child salmon ($21), a surprisingly generous piece of fish, well cooked with a somewhat crispy exterior and soft interior alongside broccolini and whipped mashed potatoes. The service was decent - our server collected our order, checked on us appropriately, and generally took care of us throughout our visit. As the pictures suggest, the interior is quite upscale, scattered across three floors with a view overlooking the main road and the beach itself. This led to an excellent, breezy atmosphere and spectacular views, perfect for a hot day. Prices are a little on the elevated side, but not excessive, given the highly popular location of this restaurant and excellent views. Overall, The Strand House offers an appropriately upscale lunch or dinner at an elevated price for the discerning customer looking for good food and excellent views with a price to match.

Fast forward to June 2026, and we brought our 3-month-old son to his first NIck's meal (unfortunately, he could not partake) and to celebrate my husband's first Father's Day. On this reservation, I put in a request for outdoor seating that gave us enough room to park our stroller and car seat, and they were able to accommodate that. They were also understanding when me and my husband were running a few minutes past our reservation time due to fhe baby, and we appreciated the flexibility. Noise level was moderate, but definitely quieter outside. If you get nothing else from this review, just remember this: ORDER THE WARM BUTTER CAKE. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT. Thanks for the consistent hospitality and great meals, Nick's!

    The food was amazing!!!! I got the eggs Benedict and my bf got the french toast. Both were tie die…read morefor!!! We also got the ube cold foam espresso martini, which was delicious. My bf doesn't even like espresso martinis and he enjoyed it. Service was great! Ambiance was very nice with beautiful plants and aesthetic. It's also on the Michelin list , which I can see why.

    When I was thinking of writing this review, I imagined explaining that I had not been to this…read moreeatery in years. And that much is true, I went in 2023 because I wrote a Yelp then for that experience. And I continue to believe it is a "solid choice." I can see how it can lend itself, and be enjoyable, to many eaters. And how its beach adjacent location draws many sandal wearers and surfers gone business casual for the night. So I will begin my focusing on what I thought was our servers faux pa. My friend Conrad and I hang out on spin mode, with the cycle never really stopping. So we kind of have an implicit expectation that sometime during our time together we will break bread. But on this ocassion, I had already eaten and he had not. This does not mean that his hunger would be true until we parted ways. We could eat together, even if I was not eating. We were by the joint so we decided to eat there because I wanted to share with him what I have found to be consistently solid and pleasant. While we were there we got a table for two. We informed our server that only Conrad would be eating, since I had already. And he gave a look. Yes, a look that I interpreted as a mix of confusion and judgement- which together makes out of place bewilderment. Why? I can totally see a pair of folks being too embarrassed to go into a restaurant, especially, a nice place like Manhattan Beach Post if only one was eating. Again, I can understand that easily. I mean people are shy and unwilling to insert themselves in situations that are non standard. But then there is other people. The people who wear PJs to the store, who rock hair of a purple shade, and well, others have grown so old that eating with a friend while they are not eating, is not embarrasing, rather just the steps of an unplanned evening. To be more specific, I think the server should have saved his "not even a drink" and proceeding confused face to himself. Conrad and I had valid reasons for entering and not dining as a duo and he should have responded with undersstanding, not just like I had said I was so hungry I could eat bigfoot raw. In short contrast, I offer the host of the place, Crystal. While eating with Conrad I did taste just a wee bit of his four cheese ear shaped pasta- Orichette- and his biscuit. The biscuit is strong but with the maple butter it sings hard, give this buttered biscuit a stage at Madison Square garden or that famous opera house in Sydney. The Orichette was also super good but one of the cheeses had like this chalky taste. It did not taste bad, but also not good, which made me engage with the dish at an analytical way. And personally, when food makes me think, I love it. Crystal heard a version of this dialogue and engaged with me saying that she feels the same way because it makes her feel like a food critic. She also asked me to go when I was hungry. Service like hers makes a place shine. Service like the server gave us makes me question why there was no guard at the door ensuring that both of us had an appetitte. The decor of the place is one that I have seen in the recent the weeks---- brown with live plants. It is lovely. It is both muted and alive. This place has been around for years and will survive my review. And I do plan to go again. And I will make sure to be hungry. I am not sure if I can guarantee that for the person I take but I will try my best.
