It was really busy when we visited, so we expected a wait for our food, but no, 10 minutes later our omelette and eggs Benedict arrived. A few minutes after that, the owner stopped by to chat, and we learned how they were able to open the restaurant so quickly. (Turns out it wasn't quick at all, they'd been looking for a location for quite some time.) We were so impressed that we went back two days later for a late afternoon sandwich. The Village was already thriving, but with Martha's here, it just keeps getting better.

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.

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.

The girl and I went to the beach down in south bay this weekend to celebrate ole MLK. We had the munchies ;) so we UrbanSpooned a diner type place to have some breakfast before we hit the beach. Ocean Diner popped up and had some great reviews so we decided to check the spot out. It's an awesome little spot just on Aviation just a little bit east of PCH. When you walk in you feel like you walk back into the 50's or 60's, circa Boston George. There was about 4 parties in front of us but the wait went by really quick. We knew we wanted to share a dish as we looked at the menu, and the "Morning After" caught both of our eyes so we went with that. It's a big hodge posh of scrambled eggs, chorizo, bacon,sausage, potatoes, jack cheese and salsa with a very generous serving of avocado on top. The dish was out of this world good. We were both starving and still didn't finish it after mobbing on it hardcore. We also got two huge biscuits with the dish, which were also delicious but added to the gigantic serving... I have not idea how one person could finish the dish by their self. The service was great, atmosphere was awesome and food was amazing. You could tell it's definitely a local favorite. Awesome spot that gets my stamp of approval fa sho! read more

Ocean Diner is a perfect local restaurant! While I think that most people come for breakfast (for good reason as everything is great), I tried coming for dinner and think it's an even better option. You can still get the great breakfast options or you can get dinner, but it's also less crowded. I had the soup and sloppy joe sandwich special, and both were delicious. Others in our party had the chicken pot pie (made from scratch), the chicken enchiladas breakfast, the chili omlette, and the kids mac-and-cheese (also made from scratch). But, the even better surprise were the baked goods. We had pumpkin cheesecake and a cupcake and then a piece of coffee cake to take home for breakfast. After a long week, it was a wonderful way to relax and have some comfort food. The service was friendly and really helpful and the prices were reasonable. It's also a great place for kids with a lot of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have several healthy options on the menu which we will check out next time, although my significant other says he also wants to get a shake. :) read more

The diner was a peculiar place, nestled in the shadows of ordinary existence. As I stepped through its creaking door, the aroma of brewed coffee and sizzling bacon wrapped around me like a familiar ghost. The service was a symphony of efficiency, punctuated by the clinking of silverware and the low hum of patrons lost in their own thoughts. The food arrived, a masterpiece plated with precision. Each bite unfolded like a page from a gripping novel, the flavors weaving a tale of culinary mastery. The coffee, strong and comforting, whispered secrets only true aficionados could comprehend. As I left the diner, the bell above the door chimed a farewell. The experience lingered in my mind like a well-crafted King novel, leaving me with a sense of satisfaction akin to turning the final page of a captivating story. In that small, unassuming diner, I found a narrative of culinary delight spun with the threads of exceptional service! read more

My fiance and I go to Ocean Diner at least (!) once a week, and we drive all the way from Culver City to do it. No matter what you're in the mood for, Ocean Diner has an amazing version of it. If you haven't been before, start with the Sullivan's scramble. Eggs don't get better than this. I also love Jose's special, and the chili omelet, and the tortilla scramble, and the... well, you get the picture. But there are two other reasons I love OD. First, I have celiac disease, and so I must be gluten-free. Ocean Diner has started baking the BEST gluten-free muffins, and they alone are worth the price of admission. And second, you cannot find nicer people that the owners of this place. They run charity facebook check-ins and other giveaways supporting the local community. This is the type of small business all of us should support. Great food+great people=five stars. read more

Simply the best. I've scoured the Southbay looking for my "go-to" spot, but once I found Ocean Diner, I haven't looked any further. I eat breakfast there about 5 days a week and the cost, speed, quality and service combination can't be beat...and I've looked! I love that they offer brown rice with their breakfast instead of potatoes and there are plenty of decadent sweet treats as well as healthy choices. Lunch and dinner is excellent too. Good burgers, sandwiches, soups, salads, and the cream corn appetizer is huge and perfect to share. Plus they make all their own bakery items from scratch. Coffeecakes, muffins, cakes, pies, etc. Try the brown sugar coffee-cake heat up. Yummy. Generally good service. (Hint: Park at the hotel next door when street parking looks rough. It's usually empty) read more

The best breakfast restaurant in the South Bay! My favorite breakfast dish is Suzy's French Toast. If it's a weekend, get there early or be prepared to wait. Lunch are dinner are also excellent. The sandwiches are great and the portions are large. I always eat half a sandwich there and take the other half home for another meal. The blue plate specials are delicious--great comfort food. Try the macaroni and cheese. It tastes homemade. Don't leave without getting something from the bakery case. I've never been disappointed by their muffins, pies, cheesecakes and cakes. The service is great. The atmosphere is casual (small-town friendly). I've been coming here 13 years and have never had a bad experience. read more

Oh man. It's been 12 years since my wife and I are here but it's still as good as ever. As much as I hate to order the same things this place is one of the places we make an exception. The manny scramble is so good. Just so much flavor. Scrambled eggs, avocado, potatoes, chorizo, jalapeños, Ortega chili's, jack cheese, and cilantro. We get it with ground turkey instead of chorizo. But wow. It's so good. The other thing we end up repeating here is the crime brûlée oatmeal. Seriously the best oatmeal ever. Hard sugary top and sweet oatmeal below. I like a little cream in it and it's just perfect. We drove from Long Beach to go to breakfast here this morning. It was totally worth it. read more

Awww man some good eating right here! My personal favorite is the morning after but everything that I've ever had here is great...and I've been here DOZENS if not hundreds of times. Obviously the usuals are delicious; all of their eggs, bacon, potatoes, omelets, etc. Ocean Diner is known their delicious, unique dishes such as the Morning After. The morning after is basically getting a plate of delicious breakfast food and mixing it all together. However, although you usually do it on your plate in front of you the chef does it before hand. Bacon, eggs, chorizo, cheese, avocado etc. I can't remember what all comes in it but together it all makes one epic dish! read more

Great family restaurant. Diner theme means they serve breakfast, lunch and brunch all the time. Yep...breakfast all day. Yum! Great coffee. Not as well known for it, but they serve dinner 6 nights a week, too. Good home-cooked comfort food with large portions and a great value. Good for children as my kids stayed occupied. Excellent service most of the time, but sometimes it's really busy and the staff gets spread thin. Very busy weekends and no reservations allowed generally means a wait of some kind. The fast service gets people through quickly. Been one of my favorites for over 10 years and a staple of Hermosa Beach. read more

A friend took me here for breakfast the other morning. Service was friendly and extraordinarily fast and the food was delish. Love that they offer non-traditional breakfast options since I'm not really an egg/pancake/waffle person. The Erica's special fit the bill - lots of fresh veggies over brown rice and a tangy soy ginger sauce on the side. The included biscuit was the size of a salad plate. Picked up a scone and muffin (along with most of the biscuit that I didn't finish) to bring home to my husband and he thought everything was great! read more

We ordered 2 coffee, classic eggs benedict with hashbrowns, and the porkchop with eggs with hashbrowns and a side of buttermilk pancakes. We saw everyone else's food being brought out to their tables, and it all looked pretty good (especially the omelets). Our food took a little longer to arrive, and people who ordered after us received their food first, but it wasn't a big deal. The coffee was watery, and no amount of sugar or creamer could help it. And to think it was $5.49. We finally got our food, and unfortunately, it was not good. The Eggs Benedict ($17.99) was the first disappointment. I took a bite and immediately tasted something sour when I started chewing it. At first I thought it was just the ham, but I'm not entirely sure, since it was covered in hollandaise sauce. It also lacked flavor overall. The only thing I liked was the poached eggs. The pork chop with eggs ($18.99) was extremely dry, difficult to chew, and very bland. It didn't seem seasoned at all. We ordered a side of gravy to help, but I didn't realize it cost an extra $3. I wouldn't have ordered it had I known, especially since it didn't improve the taste or texture of the pork chop. The pancakes were oddly eggy and didn't taste like pancakes at all. As for the hash browns, I didn't realize hash browns could taste bad, but these were mushy and almost slimy. Half of them were heavily seasoned, while the other half was bland. Even the ketchup didn't help because it only made them mushier. Overall, the server was nice, but I wouldn't come back here for the food.

They are friendly, attentive, and thorough when working with their customers. The inside of the building is beautiful. There is a cute little gift shop, art hung on the walls, and nice warm lighting. I ordered the chicken panini and it's had both a robust crunch and multiple cheese pulls when I bit into it. If I lived closer I would definitely return to try everything from the menu. 5/5 would recommend!

The food was flavorful and had quality ingredients. It looked good and tasted better! Seems like a hidden gem because it has a great view, quality food, great service, and the prices are wonderful and I didn't see any large parties having to wait for a table, even though it's a Friday night at 6:30 PM! I would highly recommend this for a casual option as you're walking through the area or as a nice date! It's not steakhouse vibes, but it's a great date night/anniversary dinner option!

My only real disappointment on the menu was the lack of coffee drinks, they only serve regular drip coffee...so don't come expecting a latte. The main dining area was pretty loud, so we opted for terrace seating, which made for a much more relaxed vibe. All in all, it's a nice, chill spot if you're looking to grab a good bite with friends.

I do not drink alcohol so she wouldn't let me sit at the bar. I understand that it's a 50% off night and people need to make money. Perhaps they could give another option, instead of forcing somebody who does not drink alcohol and wants to sit at the bar to have minimal space taken up at the restaurant. I was in hospitality management for years. There could be a mocktail offered or a requirement to buy at least 2 non-alcoholic drinks to make up for the need for the bartenders to make money.
