Nope. With only outside seating, they still do not allow dogs. In fact, even if you say your dogs can be tied to the public bench, they hesitate. I insisted because it's a PUBLIC bench and they finally agreed.

Fishing With Dynamite

My wife and I recently visited Los Angeles to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and a major…read morebirthday milestone, and we were fortunate enough to discover Fishing With Dynamite. We had heard wonderful things about the restaurant, and after our experience, I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. Because of our travel schedule, our only opportunity to visit was during lunch on the same day we had to catch a flight home across the country. From the moment we made our reservation to the moment we walked out the door, everything about our experience was exceptional. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a wonderful corner location and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The service was terrific, and the food was outstanding. The four of us ordered a variety of dishes to share, and everything was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and there was something special about being able to enjoy such a memorable meal together on an important day for our family. But what truly sets Fishing With Dynamite apart isn't just the food or the atmosphere -- it's the people. Every interaction we had with the staff was wonderful. From making the reservation, to our waitress who took such great care of us, to the servers who brought our food and drinks, everyone was friendly, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a great experience. And then something happened that took that feeling to an entirely different level. After we finished our meal, I accidentally left a small bag at the restaurant as we headed to the airport. I didn't realize it until we were already at LAX, sitting at the gate and preparing to board our flight home. My heart sank when I realized what had happened. The items inside -- AirPods, Beats headphones, an external battery pack, an expensive pair of sunglasses, and other things -- were replaceable, but a few of them were gifts and had sentimental value to me. Given that we were already at the airport, I had pretty much accepted that I would never see the bag again. My wife contacted Fishing With Dynamite, explained what had happened, and the staff immediately went to work trying to help. We were put back in touch with the waitress who had served us, and incredibly, she remembered us and was able to locate the bag. We offered to pay for shipping and for the inconvenience of someone having to take the package to the post office. Instead, later that day, the general manager reached out to us personally and assured us that they would be happy to ship everything back to us promptly -- and, even more incredibly, they wouldn't accept a penny from us for doing it. That gesture meant far more to me than simply getting my belongings back. In a world where customer service can sometimes feel transactional, the people at Fishing With Dynamite reminded me that there are still genuinely caring people who are willing to go out of their way to help someone simply because it's the right thing to do. We went to Fishing With Dynamite expecting a great lunch. We left with an incredible meal, wonderful memories from our anniversary trip, and an experience with a group of people that I will genuinely never forget. The food is fantastic. The restaurant is beautiful. The service is excellent. But most importantly, the people who work here truly care about their customers, and they proved it by going far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect.

Their bluefin tuna was really good too and they also offered to make it GF for people in our party. Their yellowtail crudo was a bit too fishy for us. Their octopus was really great as well! For entrees, I tried the salmon and the short rib. The salmon was cooked well, but a really small portion for the price. The veg with it was a bit too acidic for me.

My review of this restaurant is long overdue but I finally have the time to share my experience at my new favorite restaurant!! My wife and I had some friends visiting us from out of town a couple weeks ago and we wanted to take them to a nice seafood restaurant. At first we thought of the charthouse, but then decided to try something new and decided rock 'n fish would be a fun, new place to check out. We made reservations for a Saturday night, and i suggest you do the same, because the place gets very very busy. The hostess was very friendly and sat us just as we arrived. The restaurant was very beautiful, but the most impressive feature was the huuuge bar! It stretched all the way up to the ceiling and was so big they had a ladder for the bartenders to climb up so they could reach some of the more expensive bottles of whiskey. The ambience there was upbeat, and although it was really noisy inside, it didn't bother us much at all. No more than a minute after we sat down our server came and greeted us, I'm pretty sure his name was Mike. He was very enthusiastic and he clicked with us instantly. He asked if we had ever been here before, and when we said no he seemed excited to tell us about the place. All their fish comes in fresh daily, and all their meat is USDA prime! Our friends are somewhat of "wine snobs" and were very impressed with the wine selection and the reasonable prices. Mike was extremely knowledgable about all the wine my friends asked him about and recommended two different bottles of wine for us that we both loved! My wife ordered the Blackened Halibut, which came out absolutely perfect! The fish was blackened to the point where it had a definite cajun taste to it, but it wasn't overpowering and you could definitely still taste the fish. It was very soft and cooked to perfection. I went with our servers recommendation by ordering the cioppino and I have to admit, it was easily the best meal I've had in a looooong time. The cioppino came out steaming in a black pot filled with huge scallops, shrimp, clams, fish, and crab. My mouth is watering just thinking about it again. Our friends enjoyed their meals as well and we all agreed that it was some of the best seafood we've ever had. The food portions were very generous and if it wasn't all so delicious we probably would have had some left over to take home with us. After everything was said and done, my wife and I easily agreed that this was our new favorite restaurant. The location was romantic, the vibe was fun and energetic, the service was top notch, and the food was out of this world. I highly recommend this place to anyone, and I will definitely be going back... hopefully sooner than later. read more

My wife and I came from Nebraska to Los Angeles this summer to enjoy the beach, and see what this big city had to offer. We don't get much fresh seafood in Nebraska and were looking forward to getting some here in Manhattan Beach. We found Rock 'n Fish online and knew we had to give it a try after reading all the positive yelp reviews about the place. We didn't make reservations and came in around 8:00, we waited ten minutes before being sat. The restaurant itself is beautiful, its located no more than a hundred yards from the water and has a huge open sliding door that let in all the fresh ocean air. The inside is decorated with mermaids and all kinds of different glass murals. The menu was very big and was filled with things like oysters, seafood salads, sandwiches, fire grilled fish, pastas, and steaks. Our server Mike helped us sort through everything and recommended we try a tuna appetizer, then the crab cakes and the cioppino for dinner. The bread that was served before our dinner was to die for, it was a big hunk of freshly baked sourdough bread that was crispy on the outside and very hot and soft on the inside. The appetizer we ordered was a mixture of avocado, cucumbers, shrimp, and tuna all tossed together in an asian dressing and served with wonton chips. I don't remember being very fond of raw fish but this dish was incredible. My wife's crab cakes were delicious as well, easily the best we've ever had. I sometimes find crab cakes to be somewhat bland, but the spicy dipping sauce they were served with really make them extraordinary. The cioppino I ordered was star of the show. It was the first time I've ever had cioppino but I can assure you I will be ordering it wherever I see it from now on. The soup was a spicy tomato broth loaded with fresh vegetables, clams, jumbo shrimp, scallops, and crab. It was perfect, I really don't know how else to describe it. My wife and I both used to work in restaurants and really admire what Rock 'n Fish had to offer. The fresh ocean breeze, friendly staff, and amazing food were very appreciated. Mike was very friendly and spot on with his recommendations. My wife and I are only in town for 5 more days, but we will surely be back. read more

Rock'N Fish offers a vibrant dining experience that captures the essence of Southern California living. With its unbeatable location in Manhattan Beach and open-air charm, it's a great spot to if you're visiting as a tourist (me). My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - The location is absolutely incredible. Sitting so close to the beach, the restaurant takes full advantage of its surroundings with wide open windows that let in a refreshing ocean breeze and tons of natural light. It genuinely feels like you're dining outdoors without sacrificing comfort. 1 Star. Service - The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Our server made great recommendations and checked in just the right amount. Our server was always smiling and made it a point to ensure we were enjoying our experience. 1 Star. Food - I ordered the "New Awwlins" BBQ Shrimp, expecting a bold, smoky, Southern-style dish. What I got was something entirely different. It tasted more like a sweet and sour shrimp dish served with rice. It was a pretty dish though. It was confusing and underwhelming, and honestly, it doesn't belong on an otherwise solid menu. On the other hand, everyone in my party had great dishes. No one complained and everyone was happy. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. "It's not you, it's me". The location, atmosphere, and the rest of the menu make Rock'N Fish a great spot for a casual yet elevated beachside meal. Next time, I'll just steer clear of the BBQ shrimp. 1 Star. read more

I had an outstanding experience at RockN Fish in Manhattan Beach, all thanks to the incredible bartender, Desiree! It was a busy night when I arrived, and while waiting for my sister, I decided to grab a drink at the bar. I was immediately greeted with a friendly smile, which set the perfect tone for the evening. Desiree recommended the Navy Grog cocktail, along with the artichoke oak-grilled appetizer and popcorn shrimp. Let me tell you, the popcorn shrimp was one of the best I've ever had--definitely top-notch compared to other places I've tried! What impressed me even more was how Desiree anticipated my needs. She even provided an extra napkin for when I squeezed the orange in my drink. I was originally supposed to sit at a table, but the exceptional service, great recommendations, and vibrant atmosphere made me decide to stay at the bar. My sister ended up joining me there, and we had a wonderful dinner together. I will definitely return to Rockin Fish whenever I'm in the area. Thank you, Desiree, for such a fantastic experience! read more

I really enjoy coming here for drinks after a long week.There's a nice vibe and the place feels really comfortable. I've been working myself down the menu and everything in my experience has been from good to great. I've never waited long for a table, so service has been on point, that is until my last visit. Basically, my character was called into question when I requested to have my dinner exchanged for a new one. I leave the specifics out, because ultimately I think this was rectifiable service issue, not necessarily a issue with the restaurant itself. I come from a background where customer is always right and that they should be treated with as much respect as possible. I did not receive that. It's disappointed because i still would recommend this restaurant to any future diners; however, I think I may have paid my last visit here. read more

Not sure who is running this place, but Ramsey needs to make a visit here. Hope this eatery makes Kitchen Nightmares next season, maybe that'll save them!

I passed by this place on daily basis and every time and I ended up going to a different restaurant. So last week when the line was not too crazy I thought I give it a shot with the girlfriend. Guys the Place is called Rock N Fish for a reason, for people that complain of Loud music, so If you are not into rock and looking for a classical piano, this is not a place for you. I actual really enjoyed the patio and view and the music. Nicely decorated. The service is fairy quick for the busy restaurant, with friendly waitress. Now the food could get pricey, and it is a hit and miss. but it is consistent and quality. The Fish dishes were good but the clam chowder lack flavor.

I went here with my friend about a month ago for my second time and will keep going back! One of the best filet mignons I have ever had. It melted in my mouth and when I got a box with it to take it home, I ate it about 2 hours later and it was still melting in my mouth! The mashed potatoes and shoe string fries were amazing. I also had an artichoke appetizer which was good, I just wasn't a fan of the dipping sauce. I wish they would have brough melted butter but it's just my taste buds, I know other people would like it. Service was the best I've ever had, I think his name was Jack and he was just so pumped and funny. A definite winner! read more

This place was pretty cool. I really liked the location only a block away from the Manhattan beach Pier. I was in town visiting friends, and this was a fun place to go for dinner and drinks around sunset. BEAUTIFUL SUNSET! beautiful people all over the place, fun, lively atmosphere. I really enjoyed it. Was a little on the pricey side, but the environment made up for it. The ribs were great, was em down with a couple blue moons, was a great way to start the night. No 5 stars because it was pretty crowded when we went and the service came off a little rushed and not very attentive, but overall it was a good experience. read more

Rock'N Fish has a good, bustling vibe that gets even busier weekend nights. There's more than just the outside tables, there's a decent sized bar inside and more seating to be had in the interior. Portions are generous and the food is good. The wait staff are quick and responsive, and make sure you're all set (and that the tables are turning). If you're looking for some good seafood, washed down with a cold drink while having the breeze of the pacific in your face - check out Rock'N Fish!Pro tips - if you want take out, you need to order before 6pm. On weekends, the outside seating may require a food purchase. read more

The food here is pretty good. I've had a lot of dishes here that I can honestly say were more bland than I thought. I just don't think the food is creative enough, I guess not coming from the chef's heart but it definitely good standard steak and seafood. I had the filet mignon once though and I can honestly say it was one of the best I've ever had, the meat melted like butter. I didn't even really have to cut it with a knife. The navy grog's are killer, you will definitely get a buzz after one and I think they taste great although a lot of people I know don't like them. read more

The food here is amazing!! I love it, love it, love it!! For starters we had the ahi tartare appetizer which was super delish and the grilled artichoke which was probably the best artichoke I have ever eaten in my life!! For a main course I got the blackened halibut with the spicy mac n'cheese and the grilled vegetables which were all super tasty!! I definitely would recommend all of these items!! Oh and I can't forget the bread that they bring out, it was hot and yuuuuummmmyyy!! And I am not usually a bread fan. I will most definitly be visting rock n' fish again! read more

This place is fantastic! If you are going on a weekend I highly recommend a reservation. The grilled artichoke is wonderful! I am from the east coast and had never had one before and I think everyone must try one. THe macadamia nut encrusted mahi mahi is to die for. It comes with a very sweet pineapple buerre blanc sauce that I enjoyed so much I that I found a similar recipe online and made it at home. The pricing is standard for manhattan beach and it is only a couple of spots up from the pier. read more

We visited Rock'N Fish during an anniversary trip to CA. This was just an afternoon snack so we had some apps and a drink. The shrimp mango ceviche and mahi sliders apps were very good. I've been told the grilled artichoke app is fantastic but we were not craving that at the time. Good drink and wine choices. It's a little pricy but understood given Manhattan Beach. It is just up the street from the pier so location is fantastic. I do think it's worth stopping in for a bite and drink. Enjoy! read more

At the time, there were numerous empty tables inside and on the patio. While we were being turned away, and after we left, we observed multiple parties who appeared to be Caucasian being seated. We were the only minority party present. Based on what we witnessed, we were left with the strong impression that we were treated differently. If every table was truly reserved beginning at 7:00 p.m., it is difficult to understand why other parties were still being seated while we were denied service. No explanation beyond "we're fully booked" was provided. Given the seriousness of what we experienced, we intend to formally pursue this matter through the appropriate channels. We also hope management reviews its reservation records and any available surveillance footage from that evening to determine exactly what occurred and ensure that every guest is treated fairly and with respect.

The restaurant has a classy vibe, although we did feel that the tables were a bit too close together. We had a reservation for 6:00pm on a Sunday, and it wasn't too crowded. By the time we left the restaurant, it was completely packed! For appetizers, we got the Clams Casino and the Fried Calamari. The Clams Casino comes with five baked clams with shallots, bacon, garlic, and panko. These were pretty good! We also enjoyed the Fried Calamari that came with fried pepperoncini, fried lemon slices, and a lemon aioli. For my entree, I had the Panko Crusted Filet of Sole. It was a pretty large piece that came with sauteed veggies (some colorful broccoli and cauliflower florets) and a citrus-wine sauce. I would get this again! They had a few different specials for the night that I tried a couple bite of. One was a fish dish with spinach and rice that was pretty good. The other was a prime rib with twice baked potato and wedge salad. Unfortunately, the prime rib was like a third fat and wasn't very good. Get the fish dishes but skip the prime rib!

We got there a little early, before they opened, but the manager sat us anyway. I got the avocado toast with smoked salmon. It came with a watermelon wedge and a side salad. Can I say the dressing on the salad was delicious? It was absolutely delicious. It's a miso something or another, but they need to bottle it and sell it. The avocado toast, was avocado toast. One friend got the chicaquiles with no modifications and the other got hers with modifications, no meat, no eggs, add green peppers. They both loved them. They said the sauce was good. Since we were the only customers at 9am, I can't speak on anything else. Would I come back? Most definitely. The only thing is that it is on Hermosa and parking is tight, so keep that in mind.

When I made the reservation, I clearly stated that it was for a birthday lunch and that we would be bringing a small 5-inch round birthday cake. At no point during the reservation process was I informed of any cake-cutting fee, nor was it disclosed anywhere that I saw when booking. After being seated and reviewing the menu, our waitress approached the table and said, "Just so you know, we charge a $30 cake-cutting fee." I politely explained that we would not need anyone to cut or serve the cake, so the fee would not be necessary. She then informed me that it was restaurant policy and said she would have the manager explain it. The manager came to the table and doubled down on the charge. He explained that they used to charge per slice but that "it started getting a little crazy," so they now charge a flat $30 fee. He even tried to justify it by saying it was a better deal because their desserts cost around $50 each. I explained that this was not a deal at all and that I had never heard of such a fee being imposed simply for bringing a small birthday cake. More importantly, I told him I was completely unaware of it because it had never been disclosed during the reservation process. I made it clear that had I known about this additional charge beforehand, I would not have chosen to book this restaurant. The manager compared it to a corkage fee. I responded that corkage fees are a widely known and standard practice, whereas charging $30 for a small birthday cake is not something most customers would reasonably expect, especially when it is not communicated in advance. As a result, we chose to leave rather than begin a birthday celebration feeling blindsided by hidden fees. Fortunately, we went to The Cheesecake Factory right up the street, where we received excellent service, enjoyed great food, and were not charged a fee for bringing a birthday cake. I want others to be aware of this policy because it was not disclosed upfront and could result in unexpected charges. While they may have every right to have such a policy, customers should be informed before making a reservation, particularly when the restaurant has been told in advance that the occasion is a birthday celebration. Thankfully, they did not ruin her birthday lunch, but they certainly put an unnecessary damper on what should have been a happy and memorable occasion.

The food is the only thing really that compels me to come back. I enjoyed the Jicama tacos, they were perfectly plated and I was not expecting the tortilla to be subtitled with the actual Jicama, I was expecting a garnish but was happily surprised at the twist. The shrimp was seasoned very lightly which helped further enjoyment of the garnishes and whatever sauce was the finisher on the tacos. NOTE, the order only came with two, you can add another for an upcharge. The Carne Asada plate was just fine, took one bite and decided the dish was nothing out of the ordinary which was fine but after the excitement that the Shrimp Taco plate gave me, I was hoping for a fun twist on a traditional plate as well. Did not seem worth the $38 in my opinion. Ordered the marinated Cauliflower as a sharing side, that was fine. A tad over seasoned but not the biggest crime on the table. Garnished with chives unlike the description on the menu stating it came with pineapple and cilantro. Overall the dinner was again, just fine. I might go back for the Shrimp Taco plate but that might just be it.
