Our waitress was adorable and seemed to enjoy her job. How could you not, being across from the beach on a beautiful day. I had the World Cup Wrap (without eggs), spicy chorizo, potatoes and cheese. Could have easily split it. It was really good. Hubs had the Good Stuff breakfast, 2 eggs, crispy hash browns and chicken sausage. He liked it a lot. My friend had the chorizo chilaquiles. I don't like eggs but I thought it looked great. Her husband the chicken chile verde breakfast burrito. So much food. Reasonably priced and a great experience.

We ordered all of their starters and loved them all. Pretzels loaf is perfect, they nailed the pretzel texture even in loaf form. Brussels sprouts were delicious and flavorful. Cauliflower was great also with crunchy edamame(I'm assuming they ran out of pistachios)and corn throughout. Classic basket of truffle fries. Baked Brie and Mary's chicken kabobs are 10/10 starters. Absolutely delicious. The hunter's pie was beautiful. The meats all work together really well and the flavor of the veggies is still able to shine through.

The food was quite lackluster across the board, unfortunately, but I would come back for dessert and a drink. Having a reservation seems like a must, as there isn't much seating. Seems like a good place for mid-sized groups of 4-6 people. Price point was a bit on the higher end, especially considering the food we had. I don't think a single dish inspired me to "write home about." Lots of fusion stuff that just didn't hit how it should. Fox and Farrow is connected to another bar with a very different ambiance - more like a sports bar, from what I remember - and they were rowdy while watching a sports game. We ended up hanging over there after our meal.

I've been coming here for the better part of 12 years. They've never disappointed. The service is…read morealways top notch, and I've tried pretty much everything on their menu. The Mediterranean Skillet is my favorite. Their coffee is delicious too. The OJ is yummy. The portions are great. It's the kind of place that takes you back in time. There's an ample amount of seating. There's plenty of parking close to the diner, with a few spots in the rear. The kids enjoy their food offerings, which is a huge plus, given how picky they can be. There is some outdoor seating, but I prefer the atmosphere inside personally. They definitely make you feel right at home. You're going to get your money's worth. Good price point for what comes to your table. They don't skimp. Give this place a try. You'll be glad you did.

It's their version of a loaded Huevo rancheros. Everything about it was great, what really stood out to was the sauce, it was so flavorful. We all went to eat there on another occasion and it was just as good! I may always order that when I go. The service was friendly and attentive. We happen to get there at a good time so parking was easy and we got seated right away. Great diner to check out before or after the beach. Recommend 100%.

We were so excited to try Joe's but overall the experience left us pretty disappointed…read more The BLT was fantastic, no notes at all. Literally the first BLT that hasn't ripped the roof off my mouth open. Bacon was perfectly covered, lettuce was great quality, tomatoes good, perfect mayo amount, and the sourdough was tasty and perfectly toasted. Fries were the typical dense, white bucket fries. Nothing exciting. The omelette was crumbly and meh, home fries were ok. The toast was basically just bread, literally not toasted. We would have asked our server for help if they could be found; they spent most of the time outside with the host. We ended up tipping a totally different server who was actually helpful and attentive despite us not being her table.

This place is excellent! It does not miss!…read more The Mrs and I come here pretty regularly (probably like 30x in the last few years), so we are familiar with the food, drink, service, and ambiance. The food is just delicious! Some dishes are regular. Some are new, often creative and flavorful. They keep it interesting and novel with new dishes. My favorites are the focaccia bread, prawns (new), ceviche, maple apple salad, prawn pasta, and steak frites. The steak and fries are really something special! Jason and his Team are excellent! Good service. Friendly and warm. As a South Bay native, Jason captures the local vibe of being friendly, chill (80s slang), and polite. His Team is the same, and I like it! I also notice that if a couple wants more quiet time, they catch the pulse and give more space. That's called reading the room! After a meal here, I always walk away thinking "man, another hit. So good!" And, the wife loves it too!

4-1/2 stars Came for…read morea celebratory dinner and service was really nice, if a bit understaffed and slow. Inside is small and really loud, so you might need to shout to hear each other. We opted for a few small dishes to share, including: - Kanpachi ceviche (4/5) very light and refreshing. Wish there were more of the fish, though - Sugar cube melon and lemon cucumber salad (5/5) super ripe cantaloupe and plenty of zing in every bite. My favorite dish! - Hand rolled spaghetti (3.5/5) it was a pesto spaghetti dish that was very flavorful, but I wasn't blown away by the handmade spaghetti: it could've been more al dente and the sauce didn't really taste like pesto; I tasted mostly lemon. A bit overly salty, too - Smoked and 1/2 fried chicken (3.5/5) the chicken was beautiful fried, with a thin yet hardy crackling interior that I hadn't quite had before in fried chicken. Sauce was sweet in its soy sauce base, but some cuts of meat were on the dry side - Coffee toffee pudding (3/5) probably the weakest of the bunch: we waited 8-10 minutes for it (as advertised), and it came in...a mug?? Not the most beautifully-presented, and overall, I did not get a lot of the pudding inside, mostly the toppings. Given that it's $12 for otherwise a microwavable dessert, it was disappointing - Chocolate flan (5/5) now this hit the spot! Honestly, it didn't even taste like flan, but rather a very smooth cheesecake. We're glad we added it on at the last minute! Overall, plenty of punchy flavors and innovative dishes that change monthly. However, the price point ($33+) per dish for such small plates is a bit much, but I can see myself returning for special occasions (and their breakfast burritos)!

I consistently order the 'Classico Burrito' with steak and 50% of the time my order is incorrect. For example, they felt the need to add corn to my Classico Burrito. Does it mention corn on the menu for this item? No. Would it be such a big deal if it happened one time? No, but this happens all the time. Either different ingredients are added, or the steak is forgotten altogether ( which I did drive back to have them correct, it's a $20 burrito) I could also write a whole letter solely about how the women behind the counter do everything in the world except help the customer, have a good attitude when talking to the customer and pretty much anything related to their job. But I get it, it's hard to find good help. Welp! it is what it is

This place is absolutely wonderful and a great spot for a date. We went here to celebrate a…read morebirthday and were not disappointed with the decision. The food was outstanding. You can tell the chefs are dedicated to the craft. They're a 2025 bib gourmand restaurant and are hoping to aim for their first star, so their efforts into the decor, ambiance, and food shows (good luck!). The waitstaff/chefs were also very attentive. Mussels Tart - really delicious. Super unique and beautifully plated. No taste of fishiness or the ocean. Just overall a 5/5 dish that you must try. Beef tongue - I normally enjoy beef tongue thinly sliced at a Korean BBQ restaurant or coarsely chopped up in a street taco. They do it differently here. The beef tongue is one big cube. It's very flavorful and tender. Not as amazing as the mussels tart but still worth a try. Chili crab - this put them on the map. SUPER DELICIOUS. It's not what you'd expect from a creation called 'chili crab'. There's no shell to be seen and the crab meat is actually buried underneath. Scoop from the inside out. Tons of flavor and I wished the portion size was doubled. Lamb pappardelle - if you like lamb then you'll love this. Lots of different spices and flavors. It has a very deep flavor profile that makes you appreciate all the work and thought that went into designing this dish. I'd get this again also! Strawberry tiramisu - they brought this out for the birthday celebration. They prepared it in a gigantic bowl. Scooped out a generous portion and plated it right in front of us. I have a soft spot for tiramisu so I'd recommend this too. Best of luck on the Michelin star! I'd come back. 5/5

I had to chuckle reading some of the not so great reviews. Overall, I'd say the servers/chefs are…read moreincredibly nice and friendly and they spend a lot of time explaining the concept of each dish. The restaurant is very quaint located in a trendy and busy area of Hermosa Beach. Parking is scarce, even the lot a few blocks away is packed. Some of the dishes had nice flavor but since the place is chef-run, timeliness was an issue. It takes about 45 minutes per course because I'm sure there's a lot of pride invested in each dish. Since the portions are so tiny, you have a lot of time to talk. We started with the mussel tart. This was very tasty with smoked clam and fennel cream. The pastry coating was light but chewy. I would say the presentation was appealing but it reminded me of a Star Wars fighter jet. I was looking forward to the fish dish since we were hungry. Kinilaw is a local fish I wasn't familiar with. It was served with sweet potato and cucumber with coconut flavor. It was a tad underwhelming mostly because we were wondering where the fish was (see photo). The salad had nice flavor but I was not fond of the presentation. Either the plate was too big or this was a "half salad" concept. They are well known for the chili crab and it was delicious. However, this was another case of "where's Waldo" when trying to share the Santa Barbara rock crab meat. The porchetta felt like a heartier hot main dish. Very crispy skin and tender meat. Again dividing by four a bit challenging. Our server recommended it and it was a good suggestion. The broccoli purée and black eye peas were a unique accompaniment. The lamb pappardelle was an essential hot dish. The sausage was lamb and cumin with kale sprinkled on top. This dish was delicious and would be very shareable for two. The dessert was banana-themed. Our server was so pleasant and served it with a smile on an oversized plate. The place and staff are quite nice. The dishes, for the most part, are flavorful. Just be sure to have a few hours for dinner and don't expect to be too full.
