I wanted to try this place for quite a while after having worked in El Segundo for many years. Went there last night with my daughter to celebrated an early Father's Day. Was not really impressed with it. The restaurant was empty for a Thursday night. No need for reservation. Though the server and hostess were very pleasant, the food was just average and somewhat overpriced. For some reason the whole restaurant had an unusual smell like cleaning products or that musty smell that you would find in an old bar. The soda machine had a very bad aftertaste. Nice location. Decent looking restaurant. Not a bad menu but the stuff that really mattered was just not on par with what I expected it to be I can't see myself going back to this location given the other places to eat in the nearby area read more

I gave Paul Martin a second chance.... I came without a reservation (it was pretty empty) and the hostess asked if we had one which I said no... and then we got sat in the corner by the kitchen double doors away from everywhere else that was there. That's weird.... I believe our waiter was Raul, he was extremely nice and attentive. I ordered the short rib, something I did not have from the past. This was... decent. For the price, I was not impressed at all. I would imagine a lighter taste to it-- the short rib was extremely rich in flavor. I tried to use the mashed potatoes to balance it. Oh gosh, the mashed potatoes ... what are those??? It tasted like it was made with water. It just tasted so weird. I never had mashed potatoes like this before. Very bland tasting-- no sense of flavor whatsoever. I even asked my friend to try it in which they also agreed. It was bland. Weird texture. Not fluffy. Not creamy. I can't describe it. The only thing that I really cared about was the butter cake. I remembered this from last time and it still hits the same. Out of everything I tried on their menu this is the only consistent good thing. Anyways for an almost $200 dinner for 2 people, the food was very subpar. I'm officially closing the book on this restaurant. Unless it's that butter cake. read more

Paul Martin's American Grill - Short rib - New American Near Me - El Segundo, California

Went to Paul Martin's for Father's Day. Place was packed. The staff was very considerate, the manager was on the floor making sure guest were happy. Food was delicious, had the artichoke spinach dip and the cheese biscuits for appetizers. Main dish was the filet mignon, with garlic butter. It was ordered as medium well bcus I like medium, however, my experience in my world travels is that chefs notoriously under cook steaks 9/10 times. So what I got was medium rare, it was still good but I even double checked with my server to confirm I ordered medium well. The manager was sent over ( not requested) and I explained to her, everything was great but especially on Father's Day, all us men just want the steaks made the we ordered. She took care of us and we will return again. read more

I went for a Saturday afternoon Happy Hour and it was excellent! 2:00-6:00 pm in the bar. The bar has many if nice tables. The deals $18 for an Angus burger, with fries and a cocktail or beer. I had a LA Ale house "hazy" beer, it was fruity, don't know the name but was extremely refreshing. Also had steak tacos and flatbread. Those were also very good. The tacos maybe slightly salty but still good. I'll return. read more

This is actually a review on two recent experiences. My wife and her best friend had gone to Paul Martin's for lunch three days before. They had a problem with their lunches which I needn't go in to. The important part was their server and the manager Lilly were very apologetic and graciously comped their entire lunch. They were very grateful and appreciative. I had made a Rez for Saturday to try their Wagyu hangar steak dinner so my wife and I went back. Our server Cesar was excellent in every way. I met Vi, one of the operating partners. I told them how much my wife appreciated the great treatment which is one of the reasons we returned. The special meal included a very generous and tasty salad as well as a perfectly prepared Wagyu hangar steak with polenta, broccolini and chimichurri sauce. It was delicious. Quilt Cabernet went perfectly. They comped our dessert since it was our Anniversary. Our experiences were excellent, and we plan on returning next week for another great meal at Paul Martin's. Their staff is gracious and caring, and really appreciate their diners. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Food was amazing and flavorful, staff was all very attentive. Steak was cooked to desired temperature and very juicy. Definitely coming back

I ate here nearly 3 years ago and vowed never to return. However, our in-laws had a birthday celebration here, so we came to celebrate with them and others. I was pleasant surprised that the food was better than the last visit. They have a new menu and I enjoyed it. I ordered the Steelhead Salmon sandwich and it was good. I would have preferred a condiment that would add a little more flavor. All in all, me and my wife were both pleased. She had the house salad and a shrimp appetizer. The Shrimp were fried well, but have used a little seasoning and her salad was freshly made. read more

Popped in here for a quick bite to eat and really enjoyed the general ambiance. Inside of the restaurant is decorated very nicely with exposed beams and warm earthy tones and it really set the mood for a nice bite to eat. We were greeted when we walked in and sat down immediately , our Server Isabelle was really nice and was attentive without disrupting the flow of our conversation. We ordered from their express lunch menu , The Buttermilk Fries Chicken and it was a really delicious and a good amount of food. No delay is bringing us the check Will be back again and highly recommend. read more

First time at this resto. We were a large party having a celebratory lunch. The food was quite delicious and more tasty than I expected. Since we were a large party, we had to order off a set menu of choice of protein (beef, chicken or fish) and a vegetarian option. It was a set 3-course meal prefaced by flatbread, shrimp cocktail and cheddar biscuits. My husband I opted for: House salad. It was fine. It was a salad. Caesar Salad. It was fine. It tasted like they used pre-made dressing. Thankfully, they were not heavy handed. Sometimes salads are served drowned in dressing. Blackened ribeye with garlic shrimp. This was quite delicious. The ribeye grilled to medium-rare and the garlic shrimp perfectly cooked. I thought I would not like the sauce, but it definitely added to the dish. Brick chicken was prepared well. The chicken was moist, juicy and definitely not dry. This is a good option for the folks who always order chicken! Fruit bowl. A light option for dessert. Butter cake. It was fine. Personally, I wish the edges were crispier. My only real "complaint " was about the service. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. However, their timing and coordination could've been better. There was a lot of downtime in between courses. They also didn't take away used plates until I asked them to after they served the next course. Perhaps they were busy or perhaps they were still in training but this aspect of their service for a large group can be improved. A parking structure is nearby. Try it! Enjoy! read more

I stayed in a hotel right behind the restaurant. I winded up having lunch with a friend. While she loves the drinks, I don't drink alcohol so I enjoyed the iced tea. Now we had the salt and pepper shrimp. Which I enjoyed very much. The e service was rather quick, efficient and friendly. Wonderful ambiance as many people who work in the neighborhood come from light bites and drinks. There are parking spaces available. I can let you in a secret. The personal at the parking structure leaves after 3PM so parking is free after that time. However, the restaurant can validate your parking for you. It's not too far from Manhattan Beach either. Overall I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. read more

Weekend happy hour is so clutch and Paul Martin's never misses! Great cocktails & the food is always so tasty (especially the bbq pork ribs) Happy hour dishes are shareable.

DineLA July/August 2025 $45 per person for dinner Starter: -Seasonal house salad: Pretty basic with 2 sloppy slices of avocado. The salad dressing was a lemon vinaigrette and tasty -Seasonal soup: Minestrone ... my husband said it kinda tasted canned lol Main course: -Shrimp linguine: Creamy, very seafoody, shrimp was a bit hard/overcooked -Braised short rib: Delicious, tender, highly recommend this one Dessert: -Cheesecake: Ok, pretty standard -Chocolate cake: No and no. Weird aftertaste. They have a dog friendly patio! It has heaters. Was very nice. Make reservation on open table Free parking in the lot behind. No need to valet to save a couple bucks. Follow the signs. The food is pretty traditional/old fashioned and was a bit sloppily plated. Service was ok. For the price, it was 3 stars. I was a bit sad because it was very empty for a Friday night. For those who have Amex plat, check your offers because I had one. read more

Completely unremarkable. The menu is boring. The food is bland. It's the equivalent of a dressed uo TGI Fridays. Drive right by.

We had reservations here celebrated my aunt's 79th Birthday (Mom's eldest sister). It was the sisters including my mom and my first cousins and our kids together. My first time dining there. Beautiful ambiance. I ordered the braised short ribs with a side of Brussels sprouts. So tender and moist and delicious. Definitely recommend. We also had different appetizers: calamari, biscuits, poke lettuce wrap cups and spinach dip with pita bread. Everything was fantastic. Our servers were very attentive. Made the evening go smoothly. We also had King's Paradise Cake for the birthday girl. (Cake not included). We had a wonderful experience and I will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for a wonderful evening. PS: Parking is towards the back of the restaurant in a parking structure. We arrived @ 5pm - after 4pm parking is free. They also have valet if you prefer. read more

Why is their rating so low? I don't really get it. They offer a good value and great ambience. Their lunch is really inexpensive. I prefer, the deals from Chili's but this place is still good. So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work." read more

After going to a movie at Cinema West we decided to try Happy Hour. The bar area was pretty full (it was around 5o'clock) but we found a table. The happy menu has a good selection and very reasonably priced. The sandwiches come with a drink so I tried the salmon sandwich which came with sweet potato fries and I chose a lemon drop martini. Hubby had the shrimp tacos. Sandwich had a large portion of salmon, arugula, avocado and a slightly spicy dressing. It was delicious. Shrimp tacos were good too. I would come back again since there's other items I'd like to try. read more

I ordered the Eggs Benedict for brunch, but the dish was disappointing. The poached eggs weren't holding together, and instead of a soft, runny yolk, the entire egg was overly runny. The texture was lost completely, making it hard to enjoy the dish. It also seemed like the egg quality might not have been great. Services was slow. Staff are nice but the ordering and serving time are so slow. read more

I ordered Steak & Frites for lunch. The steak is terrible. A medium rare steak was hard to slice, tough to chew.

All meals came with a side salad that was light and refreshing. This place was very reasonably priced, great food and great service. Couldn't have asked for a better Sunday funday brunch. We didn't do the bottomless mimosas but if you do they are only $15! read more

Amazing Food, Amazing Management - Lily I work in the area nd this place has consistently shown me the best customer service you could ask for. Year round I have never been disappointed. The team here seems to wok well with each other. I iften invite my clients, managers, and friend here for lunch from out of state. They are never disappointed! Nice setting, the indoor and outdoor seating. Crab cake is very generously meaty, not so much breading with a great sauce. I'm sad they no longer serve the wedge salad, but hopefully it comes back someday. Spinach Artichoke dip with flat bread is SUPER flavorful. read more
