Though we didn't try their food offerings, that's reason enough to return. If you're an Old Fashioned fan, do NOT hesitate to try Grandma Georgia. Very balanced version of a classic cocktail.

It's a funky building, multi colored and the inside has lovely sayings on the walls. We split an order of fish n chips. I have never had cod still crazy hot but not overcooked.

Tiki-licious spot near Del Amo! I come here for the frozen drinks almost exclusively, though I've…read morehad their Mai Tais too -- mandatory if you're a Mai Tai fanatic. They're solid. The night we went, they had the regular Dole Whip frozen drink and ube as the rotating flavor. Both were dope! It's only a few bucks more to add a rum floater, but I stopped doing that. The drink tastes so good I finish it in minutes, and I prefer not to get hammered on a Wednesday night. No kitchen is the only real downside. People bring food in or DoorDash it, which works. Parking can be tough sometimes because of the other businesses around the plaza. It can get cold in there from the A/C, so bring a sweatshirt or jacket. When I want a frozen drink in the South Bay, I know where to go!

Hit this place the night before our Warped Tour trip, right after Benihana, and it ended up being…read moreone of the highlights of the pregame. It's literally walking distance from our hotel in Torrance -- so close we actually walked past it the first time without even realizing it was there. Super hidden, easy to miss. The space itself is small, and when you first walk in it doesn't hit you with an over-the-top tiki vibe right away. But once the drinks start coming out, it fully delivers. The glassware is so fun and themed -- I was obsessed with the flamingo cup and actually ended up buying a couple online since I couldn't take the real one home with me. Drink-wise, I stuck mostly to my usual zombie, which has this great earthy, cinnamon-y flavor that's just different from anything else -- does the trick every time (there's a two-drink max/minimum on it, which I respect). We also tried a Makahiki Mua and a Painkiller, both really solid. The Makahiki Mua had a fun flavor, kind of similar to a Painkiller, but the zombie is still my go-to. Service was pretty good overall -- the bartender stayed mostly in one corner of the bar, which actually worked in our favor since we got served fast. A couple of small quirks though: they only have a limited number of menus, so we kept having to pass one back and forth around the bar, which felt a little silly. They also seemed to be running low on drink cups at times, having to wash and rotate them back into use, which was an odd thing to notice at a bar this size. Also wish they had some food or snacks available, even something small -- but that's a minor gripe. Vibe-wise, this is easily one of my favorite tiki lounges I've been to -- doesn't quite topple Broken Compass Tiki for me, but it's up there. Fun, easy, great drinks, solid service despite the small hiccups, and a perfect spot if you're staying in the Torrance area. Would absolutely go back and would recommend it to anyone chasing that tiki lounge crawl.

He allowed me to watch him do his magic during his set. It's a skill I've longed to learn as part of many on the good ol bucket list. What comes to mind when thinking about this venue is comparable to a person inherently born with a lot of charisma. Prices are fair, especially for the area. But the drinks are where it really stands out. They're clearly made with fresh, high quality ingredients. I will warn you it's the kind of place you come for one and end up staying longer than you planned :)

Came in after having dinner nearby and wanting to have a late-night cocktail. Drinks: Ordered the X Cadillac Margarita. It was just okay. Not bad, but also nothing special. Service: The bartender was friendly, but the service was somewhat spotty. Environment: I will say that the place was pretty crowded, and everyone was having a lot of fun. There's a small dance floor in the back. Bottom Line: It's a fun place that straddles the line between dive bar and local hotspot.

Located right by the beach, the restaurant has an absolutely amazing ocean view. I remember having brunch there, and everything we ordered was delicious.

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.

It was so good, and as part of their anniversary promotion, I even got a free glass to take home as a gift for ordering it.

The drinks and beachside atmosphere were definitely the bigger draw for me. Service was good and attentive throughout our meal.

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.
