Hubbers and I have been finding ourselves in this village way more often in the last couple of…read moremonths vs. the last couple of decades! It's a better late than never kinda thing, I guess? But it has been awhile prior to our first restaurant run. Truly a great beachside destination. Plenty of eateries (and many of them dog friendly!) and shops for everyone's budget. The beach is literally a block or two away and parking isn't horrendously expensive unlike some other beaches or shorelines. (A buck and a half per hour is a steal!) It's a pretty chill and kickback area. Some grub spots have live bands/music you can vibe to. But the best part of the village is definitely walking by the shores! The views. Of the water alongside the mountains are breathtaking. I imagine the best time to come through is during the spring and summer. We have yet to experience the area during the fall and winter seasons. We do intend to find out, though! Will update as needed!

The atmosphere felt cozy and energetic at the same time with music, friendly voices, and the smell of fresh food filling the air. Teenagers would love how easy it is to explore because everything is close together and full of personality. The service at the small shops felt personal and welcoming which made the whole experience feel more meaningful. The value was impressive because there were many affordable treats and unique items that did not feel overpriced. The quality of the stores and food stands was high and everything felt thoughtfully arranged. The selection was wide enough to keep teenagers entertained whether they wanted snacks, clothes, handmade items, or just a fun place to walk. I have only been there once before writing this review but it was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable places I have visited. I highly recommend that teenagers go there because it gives them a chance to feel independent, creative, and connected to a lively community.

Wow! This spot sure has changed through the years. Promenade on the Peninsula has now been renamed…read moreto Promenade PV. It's still an open air shopping center but they're putting a big emphasis on community gathering. They do a lot of events like a Spring Carnival and Egg Hunt. They also upgraded the ice rink under the LA Kings brand. There's also lots of new restaurants. I found a new favorite via Pho Red Bo and I spotted a yummy dessert spot via Fika Fika Creamery. Though lots of change, it was nice to see Regal Promenade still here. This movie theatre was my go- to movie theatre a few years back and I have found memories of this spacious (not crowded) theatre. Overall, I was happy to visit the new Promenade PV. It's nice to see this outdoor area gaining more popularity and it's so refreshing to see the new restaurants and events they have here.

Opened first in 1981, the Promenade on the Peninsula is a multi-level outdoor mall in Palos Verdes,…read morewith its current name being used in 2008. It's main feature is an ice skating rink, named the LA Kings Ice PV, used for as a community rink for skating and hockey. It has free parking via a large parking garage attached. It is no longer a shopping center (a lot of empty storefronts), but more a community space for Palos Verdes, with a large number of restaurants, a bunch of sporting and gaming facilities, and medical businesses, including a large UCLA health clinic. We came a week before Thanksgiving, and a beautiful Christmas tree was up, providing some good picture opportunities.

[Review #817] 2024-016…read more Opened in the 1960s, Rolling Hills Plaza is an eclectic outdoor shopping center with restaurants & shops, anchored by AMC Theatres & 24-Hour Fitness. I first visited this plaza to watch movies with friends in the late 1990s. And on some nights with new movie openings, the lines were so long they wrapped around the building. Yikes! There's been a lot of turnover the last couple of decades that I can't remember some of the earlier tenants. A fav Japanese restaurant with a large diverse dessert menu had closed, replaced by Hakata Yamaya (renamed as Yamaya). Most recently, SHIOK! Asian Street Food (family fav for delish sandwiches & boba drinks) was closed due to downturn from the COVID-19 pandemic, replaced with Hanky's Hot Chicken, followed by Tap Society Brews & Bites (its sister Caps & Corks is still open) all within 4 years. Not sure why this particular spot always had high turnover. Bed Bath & Beyond is another former resident that I often shopped at for home goods, especially when I first moved to the South Bay. Although I no longer visit this AMC as much, I still shop & dine fairly regularly at the plaza: Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Nijiya Market, Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea, Mendocino Farms, Lunasia Dim Sum House, Stonefire Grill, Nice China Cafe, Pinwheel Cafe Bakery, Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee, California Pizza Kitchen, Veggie Grill, Iccho Restaurant, Kabab Curry of India, Fanoos Grill. I'm sure there are others that I missed (supposedly there's 80+ eateries & retail tenants). While parking is plentiful, vacancies are challenging during lunch & dinner rushes, & weekends. Rolling Hills Plaza is one of the larger outdoor spaces for one-stop dining, shopping, & entertainment for the whole family... workout, grab a coffee, shop, dine, & watch a movie in one go.

Having shopped at this shopping center since the 80s, I've seen it go through many changes…read more This center has pretty much everything you could ask for. Grocery store, bakery, a gym, Target, Ulta, Old Navy, TJ Max, Bath & Body Works, Rite Aid to name a few and several places to eat. Restaurants are more upgraded fast food options where you can sit down but not table service. Parking can get pretty busy if you try to get close by at rush times but there is plenty of it and it's free. Between the mall directly across the street versus this center, Peninsula Shopping Center has done a good job of attracting businesses and it's much better than the mall. That said, the mall is improving and they can complement each other. I rarely have to go off the hill which I appreciate.

Hey, its a shopping center. But wait, is that a Whole Foods on the north western end of the plaza?…read more Holy cow, right next to a Fresh Brothers Pizza and Dickies BBQ joint. Not that you wouldn't be in a food coma with all that shit, but a Rite Aid is right at the south west corner, flanked by a Nekter juice bar and taco joint and Rita's wudder ice (for my Philly peeps). Nah, this place would suck if there wasn't a bar. Holy shit, there is. The Pitcher House is above Frou Frou clothing and next to Smash Burger (which has the best fries in town- check out THAT review). But don't bring your pets cause...oh hell, there's a Centinela Feed store too, a bank and the icing on the cake....PANDA EXPRESS!! Other than all this stuff, the place sucks.

I always love to check the clearance section cause you find amazing deals for really good prices. I was looking for a pot holder crochet for the bathroom and scored one for $9.99 it was perfect to add a planter and add in the bathroom for decor. The customer service is great there I had a few questions about several items and they walked me over to where I'd be able to find them. Very helpful and kind I appreciated that. As far as the lines they a few people in line but you didn't have to wait so long they had all the cashiers open so it had a great flow. Over all experience here was great, the shopping area has lots of parking so that's not a problem to find a spot. Can't wait to be back!

[Review #799] 2023-087…read more TJ Maxx is located in the heart of Peninsula Shopping Center. Although I've heard of them, I don't recall shopping at the stores. They are the flagship chain of TJX Companies; strangely, they operate as sister stores with Marshalls, which I do frequent, & both chains generally stock similar items (men's, women's, & children's apparel, shoes, & accessories; bath & beauty products; jewelry & other accessories; housewares, kitchen & home products) of those found at major department store except theirs is generally discounted. I don't believe the Rolling Hills Estates location is a higher volume store; those store may have a high-end designer department called The Runway. And it's also unexpected to find a discount department store in the affluent hills. During this school year (2023 - 2024), my son's Cantonese class has doubled the students so I've been hanging out with other parents shootin' the breeze, takin' a coffee/tea break, walking (to get some exercise in), & window shopping (sometimes actually buying stuff). The store opens pretty early, at 9:30 AM, for a Saturday morning so we usually have it pretty much to ourselves when we're browsing here. Their inventory is comparable to Marshalls, & I've gotten some great deals. What's impressive about this location is their luxury inventory... some unexpected finds include: Mackage (I knew it was a thing but haven't heard of them & needed to look them up; they're a Canadian prestigious luxury outwear clothing brand), Fendi, TOTEME (Stockholm-based label exploring the appeal of the modern uniform with meticulous craftsmanship, methodic repetition, & distinct design cues). They even carry one of my fav brands: Life is Good; an American apparel & accessories lifestyle brand known for its optimistic t-shirts that often feature Jake, a smiling stick figure. I love their pjs... so comfy & cozy. The store is organized & well-stocked, probably because we're here first thing in the morning. Can't imagine what it would be like mid-day since there's only a skeleton crew in the mornings, I'm sure they'll increase the staff during the busier shopping hours. My friend found a couple pairs of designed shades in the locked display case, & it took awhile to find someone, then another staff member to open the case. While she was mulling over which to purchase, both were great deals, I/she felt rushed into making a decision. And for security purposes (understandably), she couldn't hold onto them & he brought her glasses to the cashier even though the registers are the next row over. The staff is friendly & welcoming on our Saturday mornings, & any purchases are processed quickly. If you're looking for mark-downed name brands, you can try your luck at TJ Maxx, but it might take some time to find that treasure. Happy hunting!

The Enclave has been a great spot to hang out, grab some food, and just relax with good vibes.

We've especially enjoyed the spacious outdoor seating since it's dog-friendly, making it a fun place to visit with our pup. We've had a great experience each time and definitely plan on coming back to try more of the restaurants there.

Was here not so long ago with a friend wanting to eat some hot soup. We decided to go to Pho 123…read more Parking was easy on a Friday that time and Pho 123 was not too crowded. I ordered the new rib Pho with thin noodles and beef broth. Placed a lot of veggies and seasoned it to my liking....it was really good! The beef rib was inded fall off the bone. Match it with the crispy bao bun and eggroll...best meal I had that week! Service was quick and pricing may or may not be reasonable depending on what you order. Pho 123 is good in my opinion. The Enclave is a nice place to hang out young and old. Lots of parking, may get tight when busy. Will come back and try the other places in here.
