I came across some photos on my social media from when I visited The Strand House in Manhattan…read moreBeach on August 30th, 2020. Located right by the beach, the restaurant has an absolutely amazing ocean view. I remember having brunch there, and everything we ordered was delicious. I also remember the service being very friendly and welcoming. Today, a friend mentioned that she had been there, and it suddenly brought back memories of my own visit. So I went searching through my old photos and found these. Manhattan Beach used to be one of my favorite places to visit, and I went there quite often back then. Looking at these photos makes me want to go back again soon.

We were greeted by Jason (came to find out, he's the manager). Curt, abrupt, not very personable…read more He seated us...next to numerous open tables. We requested a booth right behind us. We were told it was not available...that they had reservations already set. As a side note, I too had made a reservation. Marina was our server...difficult to pin down exactly how I felt about her. Nice, but not super nice. I felt like we were a chore. The whole reason for my review is the bussing staff...THEY. WERE. INCREDIBLE! Each and every one of them were personable, had the biggest smiles, and were genuinely caring people. They joked with us and made the whole experience worth it. The food was delicious. The ambiance is a bit too uppity for me. Great place to grab a drink...the bar is lovely and the servers were great. Back to Jason and "the table". Two booth tables sat empty the entire two hours we were there. My first time dining there...not in a hurry to return.

Ohhh my... and their lemon meringue pie (while I would say it was more of a key lime pie) was pretty darn good. The Pig & Fig flatbread is a must try!

Service was outstanding & the restaurant was extremely accommodating! Great spot to bring a group if in the area.

I paired it with one of their Sauvignon blanc wines and it was refreshing. For dessert I ordered their key lime meringue. If you are a lime/lemon dessert person then I definitely recommend that you order this dessert. Only downside was their AC was not working this evening which was it a little difficult to enjoy dinner. Looking forward to coming again. Additionally, ensure you make a reservation. They tend to be busy.

The ambiance was perfect--upscale yet comfortable, and not so loud that you can't enjoy a conversation with your table. Jose G took great care of us throughout the evening. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly without being intrusive. The food was delicious. Our favorites were the wedge salad, lamb chops, and the ribeye. We finished with the s'mores and cheesecake desserts. Each dish had its own unique twist, and the flavors worked really well together. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great food, service, and atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Beautiful venue, food is good but not great…read more Dog friendly outdoor patio. We sat at the bar. Service was kinda slow. We ordered the signature burger and shrimp cocktail from the brunch menu. Signature burger is pretty good. The fries were delicious. Shrimp cocktail was kinda a disappointment. Wasn't as crisp and fresh as I've had in other places. The brunch menu comes with 6. I wouldn't order this again.

Love & Salt is an excellent dinner spot for something a bit more upscale…read more They have a pretty substantial menu, with a lot of great options. They even have some really delicious mocktails. Make sure not to miss the meatballs for an appetizer. They were probably the best dish of the night. That said, you can't really go wrong with anything you order. I only really had two very minor complaints. Their pasta was a little more al dente than I tend to go for, but that didn't ruin the dishes by any means. The other thing was that the mocktails didn't come with anything to stir them with. Even a straw would have been helpful. All things considered, you really should check out Love & Salt if you are in the LA area. Well worth it.

Unfortunately, the experience was somewhat lackluster, especially because this was a dinner my…read morenewly engaged fiancée and I chose to celebrate such a special occasion. I do want to recognize that the staff did a great job attending to us throughout the evening. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the food quality. I ordered the Angus Ribeye and specifically requested it medium-rare. With a cut like a ribeye, I believe proper temperature and a well-executed sear are essential to bringing out the tenderness and flavor of the meat. Unfortunately, the steak arrived closer to medium-well. As a result, it was noticeably drier than expected, which took away from the delicate flavors and overall experience I had hoped for. The cocktails, however, were excellent and met my expectations, so I have no complaints there. My fiancée ordered the Siciliana pizza, but unfortunately, the center was undercooked. We brought this to our server's attention, but there was no follow-up afterward to address the issue. That was particularly disappointing given the quality and reputation I would expect from a restaurant that is recognized from Michelin.

It's an unassuming spot in a corner of a strip center that you could easily miss. It's the cutest space with indoor and patio seating as well as a few bar spots, good for solo dining. We started with the meatballs and Caesar salad. The meatballs had a crisp sear outside that gave way to a soft inside. So good with the tomato sauce and arugula. The Caesar had a touch of spiciness and was dressed with toasted bread crumbs, a nice touch. I had the bolognese. It was tender and meaty and the pasta had the right amount of bite. This was even great leftover the next day. The Meyer lemon pie was the perfect closer. DineLA was the right call to bring me in to to try this gem of a spot.

BF luvd his Koshihkari rice dish with shrimp, blue crab and uni. So why only four stars?? My Chilean sea bass was overcooked: dry and not tender. The sauce and veggies saved the dish. But it would've been stellar if the sea bass was perfectly cooked. Gave this note to our server to pass along to the kitchen. Server comped us a free dessert. FWD: Fish should not be a miss for a seafood restaurant, especially when Chilean sea bass is a pretty forgiving fish to cook. Maybe it was one off???
