    Coconut shrimp appetizer
    Cyn L.

    We came for Dine LA dinner last night. It was $45 for select items on their menu. (They did not offer Happy Hour since they were offering Dine LA menu.) I enjoyed everything that I ordered, from the generous portion of mussels, the crispy whole branzino, and the crème brûlée. My husband also had the mussels, the lamb shank, and rice pudding. He did not care for the lamb shank. He said it was tender, but would have preferred a different sauce. He also wishes that he got the crème brûlée instead. Our server was ok, but seemed rushed. There was a lot of free 2-hour parking when we arrived for an early meal at 4:30 pm. If there were more entree offerings during Dine LA, I'd go back again. But I didn't see anything else that I'd be interested in trying. The restaurant is nice inside with spacious modern interior.

    Stopped in before a movie and happened to catch their Happy Hour. I'm vegan, so I ordered the hummus plate, guac and chips, and fries. Everything was tasty, though the portions were on the smaller side. The service was a bit unusual. It doesn't seem like you get a dedicated server --whoever walks by handles whatever you need. It made things a little confusing since the person who took our drink order never returned, and we ended up flagging down different staff members for the rest of our visit. My wine also took quite a while to arrive, even though we were seated at the bar and I noticed other drinks going out first. It may have just been an off night. The vibe is cute, and the shared parking with the cinema makes it a convenient stop before a movie.

    We love Nomad, especially during Dine LA where we get to enjoy a 3-course meal at a set price. By making it a date night, we get to experience 6 different items with flavors and ingredients from different parts of the world. My favorite today was the sea bass, it was beautifully served, raw, I was very pleasantly surprised. I almost asked for chopsticks until my wife reminded me this is a Mediterranean dish. I forked it and it was amazing, fresh and tasty, highly recommended! The short ribs is usually favorite, it came out nicely, falling off the bones, only thing was the sauce was a bit salty for me. I wish there was a side of rice or bread, ha ha. May be I will ask the polenta to be in the side in the future. My wife had the Hummus Meeze board, we loved everything on it and wish there was a bit more bread to help us finish every bit. She also had the filet mignon Loma Saltados, it was also deliciously done. For dessert, we shared crème brûlée and tiramisu. Both were yummy and gone in no time.

    Global spot that is a hidden gem. Came here for brunch with my family and we made a reservation online in advance. It's located by the movie theater and there was plenty of parking. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Our waitress was friendly and we were able to promptly place our orders. My boyfriend and I split the chimichurri steak and eggs and the French toast. My sister ordered bacon on the side for her French toast (extra cost) while my mom had the enchiladas. They're vegan friendly and my dad had the Mediterranean kebab which was vegan. We all split the mussels to start as well.

    Parking in the nearby garage but finding the entrance isn't straight forward if you haven't been here before. Nice ambiance (open architecture) and pretty prompt service but the kitchen took forever (like closer to 45 minutes) and the place isn't slammed nor even that full. Good food (tried the lamb kebab and shrimp) but pretty pricey. Was going to order desert but she brought the check so fine. They are not very interested in our custom.

    My friend and I decided to try Nomad for dinner tonight. The restaurant is modern and decorated very well. They were serving their regular menu plus a prix fixe menu for DineLA week. I decided to try the prix fixe - Course 1 - Burrata & Pistachio Pesto, Course 2 - Filet Mignon Lomo Saltado, Course 3 - Creme Brulee. My friend had the Nomad Hummus and Grilled Loin of Lamb. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. The food was flavorful and great quality. Initially, I was going to order the Balsamic Braised Short Ribs, but unfortunately, they had run out. The filet and lamb were both tender, juicy, and flavorful. The Creme Brûlée was excellent, though I would have wanted a thinner burnt sugar layer. It was still so good. Scott, the owner, came to our table to chat with us and ask us about the food and how we found them. He was friendly and grateful for our patronage. He shared how he came up with the concept of the restaurant. We really enjoyed the conversation. I definitely will return because there were so many other items on the menu that I would like to try in the future.

    Loved the spaghetti & grilled shrimp entree! My co-worker & I both ordered this, both of our shrimps were cooked PERFECTLY! I am very picky about my shrimp and hate having it over cooked. These were not, so tasty! I loved the flavor of the pasta too. My co-worker thought it was a bit too salty but I didn't think so. I do like stronger flavors. I would go back for this dish.

    TIRAMISU
    Kelly S.

    Ordered two of the tiramisu as takeout ($14 EACH) and their portion size was incredibly small. Maybe 2 x 2 x 2 inches for $14 EACH. Yikes. If the piece was generous or even just a decent size, that would be fine... but at this price point I'm astounded and very disappointed. So puny it was pathetic. Will never order from here again ... taste was mediocre too, kinda tasted like it went bad.

    We were greeted by the manager and then ignored for a good 20 mins before anyone came to check on us to see if we were ready to order. Ambiance was nice, with indoor heat lamps and a cozy feeling. We opted for the DineLA menu so I ordered the scallop crudo aguachile, crispy branzino, and the coconut rice pudding. Everything was delicious! I was the last one to get my food and they forgot to bring my rice bowl and dipping sauce. The overall experience was good. I may return in the distant future.

    This has become one of our favorite places and in the steady rotation. Happy hour has some great deals and the nomad fries are so good. Everything we've had here is good. We also came for dine LA, which was a great deal.

Possibly the best crab cakes of our entire lives and the yellowtail crudo was the definition of a balanced and rich appetizer. Seriously, this is in our top 10 meals (maybe top 5) of all time. We had an incredible server in John. He was the perfect balance of attentiveness (yet not overbearing), knowledgeable, professional, yet he still made us feel like we were having a relaxed hangout out in his house as his friends. I've been a bartender at various bars and restaurants for the past 20 years and I gotta say that it was an honor to be helped by that caliber of a server. I also told him that I didn't love mushrooms so he had our entrée, which had mushrooms, split and my sister's half had mushrooms but mine didn't. Just incredible We couldn't recommend this restaurant any more highly. Do yourself a favor and stop by The Strand House for a meal, you'll thank me later.

    The Strand House in Manhattan Beach is one of those places where you immediately understand what…read moreyou're paying for the second you walk in. The ocean views are absolutely beautiful, the bar area has a great energy, the staff was friendly and attentive, and there's clearly a strong local regular crowd that gives the place life and personality. The atmosphere honestly carries a lot of the experience here. Food-wise though, I have mixed feelings considering the pricing. The menu is definitely charging premium Manhattan Beach/oceanfront prices, but most of the food itself felt pretty average. The breakfast potatoes were especially mid and lacked seasoning or anything memorable. My wife didn't enjoy the pork belly benedict much, although she did really like the salmon benedict. On the other hand, the bluefin tuna tostada was magnificent and easily one of the standout dishes we had. The fries situation was fascinating to me. They're $15, but to be fair they give you an absurd amount of fries -- basically an entire fry boat. They also serve them with house-made ketchup and aioli, which sounds great... except they give you about a thimble worth of sauce. I started noticing almost every other table with fries had huge piles left over and completely ran out of sauce early on. At that point it almost feels intentional because there's no way the restaurant hasn't noticed this pattern already. Overall, this is the kind of place where you go for the scenery, people watching, drinks, atmosphere, and social experience more than for mind-blowing food. If you approach it that way, it's a really enjoyable spot.

Some dishes could've been executed better. Going down the list of dishes I had here: - Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits: These were more like scones rather than biscuits. Crunchy with good bacon and cheddar flavor. - Japanese Hamachi Crudo: Unique and I liked the citrusy flavor and creamy texture. However, 3 small slices of fish for $26 was overpriced. - Leafy Greens & Radicchio: Solid and crispy salad with a nice tangy dressing. The cheese also added a lot of sharp flavor which was nice. - Skirt Steak: Good flavor and char, but a bit tough. Also some dry pieces. - Chilean Sea Bass: Lemon orzo risotto was creamy and delicious. The sea bass itself was okay, nothing special. It felt overpowered by the risotto. The fish was moist and flaky though. - 20 Oz Prime Beef Ribeye: Quality was subpar relative to price. Portion size was solid by the steak itself was inconsistent. Some of the pieces were rarer while others were more well-done even though we asked for medium rare. There were also some dry pieces which I did not like. Flavor was good though. - Strawberry and Olive Oil Cake: Was confused since there was just a thin layer of cake, but realized the title also referred to the mousse. I would title it 'Strawberry Mousse with Olive Oil Cake" to make it less confusing. Regardless, this was a delicious dessert! Love the fruity strawberry and savory pistachio flavors as well as the smooth textures. - S'mores sundae: Got this on the house for my aunt's birthday. A generous portion but the components were a bit too sweet for my liking. I visited this restaurant for a birthday that I organized and my experience was overall good. Reservation was made easy using OpenTable and I could also mention it was for a birthday occasion. The ambiance was gorgeous with good mood lighting. Good for group and 1 on 1 dining. Parking is metered or street parking. Overall, I probably wouldn't come out of my way to dine here again, but my experience wasn't bad just not significant enough to put in my rotation. Would come back if someone treated me here though.

    Server Álvaro is an actual SAINT at Saint & Second!…read more I want to start by clarifying that I went to S&S yesterday afternoon ready to cry major boo-hoo tears to my two besties, without much of an appetite. Instead, I ended up with a full belly and side cramps from laughing along with our awesome server, Alvaro. The Man. The Myth. The Legend that he is! Small Backstory: Last Friday I lost my job of almost 25 years in public education due to a complicated work accident (my back was broken & I now have screws in my spine) and I planned to whine to my best friends into a cocktail or two, and get out plenty of Kim Kardashian ugly-cry faces until it would be time to go home. Enter ALVARO! This kind man had the nerve to be polite to us! The nerve! LOL. He greeted us with a warm smile while my cold heart was practically making it snow. He explained all portions of the breathtaking menu when I had planed to eat my sadness. He even had the GALL to say if we wanted something not on the menu that he would see what he could do to make it happen! Here I was, ready to drink Unicorn Tears, and he was cheering me up! WHAT THE??! LOL The three is us started with the MEZZE PLATE. And OH LORD! I think we ate the print off of the plates while trying to get to the last crumb. We polished off a whole extra serving of cucumber slices in the process, by the way, and I'm not embarrassed to say that. The Turkish honey-sweetened labne was such a party in our mouths! Make of that what you will. Each of us got a dinner entre, with mine being the S&S Fish and Chips. I loved that the fillet was not overly battered and the chips had an almost double-Belgium fried taste going on. I couldn't help but swipe several spoons worth of aged-cheddar grits off a friend's seared pork chop plate. Now THOSE were some butter-heaven sent grits! My drink, that kept shooting partially through my nostrils from laughter, was a classic margarita on the rocks. No margaritas were injured/harmed in the process of my belly laughter. At some point towards the end of our night, a patron of the mall next door pulled the site-wide fire alarm, ringing through the whole location for everyone to use caution and head to the closest exit. If you grew up like my friends and I, you don't follow that suggestion unless you're trying to run out on the bill like a jerk. Bless be to Alvaro, he stopped by our table several times to apologize about the noise and flashing lights and explained the fire department was working on it. I explained that the Hood Cricket sound didn't bother us and we were happy to wait out the alarm. So not only did Alvaro provide us with excellent service, an outstanding meal, and generous smiles, but he also made sure that we felt SEEN. And THAT is what made the whole evening worth it. No sadness or cringey tears about a lost job were needed. It ends up all we needed was a server named Alvaro at Saint & Second to make my spirits feel high again. Pricing is a bit high but was totally worth it! Patrons were dressed business casual. Sound level, not counting the hood cricket, was mid and conversation was easy to have. Several televisions were playing different stations but no captions were provided. There is handicap parking available in the parking garage located just outside the front door of the establishment and no stairs or elevators are needed to enter. There are several entrances/exits to the available outdoor seating area and outdoor heaters are available. Glances around showed me that every patron I saw was tucking into their plates with smiles and were enjoying themselves. I have already made plans to return to S&S in another two weeks because it was indeed THAT GOOD! And for those fine diners that are wondering, "But what is a Hood Cricket?" An HC is a chirping fire-alarm that some of us are able to tune out with ease. You're welcome!

    Jame is one of those places where you start noticing the details--and then realize everything is…read moredialed in. First, the handmade pasta. This isn't just "al dente." There's a real chew here--a springy, structured bite that gives just enough resistance before yielding. It's deeply satisfying and makes every dish feel more intentional. The cappelloni shows it off best: that almost-famous sauce wraps around each piece, but the pasta holds its own, so you get that perfect balance of silky and structured. Same with the tangiello--the meat sauce tastes like it's been simmering for days, rich and layered, but the noodles never get lost because that chew carries through. The Caesar isn't an afterthought either. It's got a subtle spicy kick that wakes everything up, and if you add chicken, it's done right--well-seasoned, nicely grilled, juicy with a bit of char. It turns a classic into something you actually remember. Dinner is where things go a little heartier, and the pork chop delivers. Fall-off-the-bone tender, but still full of flavor--not just soft for the sake of it. Jame just gets the fundamentals right, then pushes a little further. Thoughtful, textured, and the kind of place where even the chew of the pasta becomes part of the experience.

    It is always a pleasure to dine in downtown in El Segundo and I was excited to finally check out…read moreJame Enoteca, which is located right at the heart of area. I was impressed with the clean and modern look of Jane Enoteca from the moment I walked in. Their dishes consist of several handmade pastas, salads and Italian inspired comfort food. My friend and I chose to start our meals with the Meatballs and Brussels Sprouts. Being a Brussels Sprouts fan, I really enjoyed their roasted crispy Brussels sprouts that were tossed in schiaffoni dressing and finished with sesame. Equal in deliciousness were their Meatballs. The Meatballs were tender, rich and saucy. These starters were a great way to kick off our meal here. For our mains, we got their Paccheri Lisci and Tonnarelli. The Paccheri Lisci had a bit of a spicy kick to it. It has spicy pork sausage sugo, fennel, sage and pecorino. It was meaty and flavorful. The Tonnarelli or Cacio e Pepe contrasted nicely with the Paccheri Lisci. This pasta dish was simple, sharp and peppery. This was more bold versus saucy. Last but not least we had some cookies for dessert. I loved the fresh baked snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookies. It was a sweet and perfect ending to the meal here. Overall, I really enjoyed dining at Jame Enoteca. I am now looking forward to trying out their sister restaurant Jame Taqueria down the street.

    What a gem. Me and…read morefiancé had dinner late last night 5/15 @ 9pm, we did make a reservation at that time and checked in early and they sat us down 10 mins early ((looooved that)). We ordered the Crab cake, perfecting packed together where it was too dense but gently molded. It was packed with umami and this refreshing citrus after taste..it was so damn good. French fries, were a must crispy tasty fries did not disappoint. Spanish octopus, cooked to perfection- lots of interesting flavors and textures we enjoyed. Lastly we shared the tacos (1 cod 1 shrimp), tasty fat tacos. Accompanied with fresh chips and the guac and salsa that was tasty. What really set it for us, was while we were wrapping up the meal. Me and fiancé were toasting to my late dad, today was his birthday. Well we asked for the check and planned to skip dessert. Well before we left our server had packed us the key lime pie to take home..just because. God lord, the timing of toasting my dad, and the generosity had me literally fighting tears. It really was a remarkable meal, we loved every bite. Our server whoever you are your f*cking wondeful and the team you are doing amazing work thank you.
