    The food here is delicious and they have a great happy hour! The restaurant is beautiful with plenty of seating. Service was wonderful, so friendly and welcoming. We sampled our way through their happy hour menu and one item was more delicious than the next! The prices are extremely fair, the food was made to order quickly and presented beautifully. Also, very kid, friendly, there is something for everyone here. Located just the steps from the beach, this is a wonderful option for dinner in the area, highly recommended!

    Location is great. The decor is beautiful. Street parking available (4hr parking limit). Staff were super friendly. We came in on a Saturday night. Party of 5. The table we sat at was in a good location. The waiter came in right away to take our drinks and appetizers orders. We waited maybe 15-20mins for the food. Everything tasted wonderfully. My favorite item was the Portobello fries and the sauce it came with. You must try it! It was actually a hit at the table. I had the clams, which are from Washington. The dish was delicious and I enjoyed it very much. It has some tomato like sauce with chorizo hints. It comes with a side of bread to dip in the sauce. It had a very mild hint of spicy. My nose was definitely runny but my taste buds were alive. Unfortunately, as much as I enjoyed the clams, I didn't follow the rule to not eat clams on month that does not end with "er". After I got home, about an hour after eating I was sick and returned the clams to the sewer :/ so I will not be having them again, at least not until after September. The key lime pie was also not the best, I think the chocolate mousse was much better in terms of flavor. Overall, I will definitely stop by again when in the area.

    Max and Mat were awesome during our visit. This was our second time here and we came on a Wednesday so we took advantage of the $42 meal. It was perfect. We ordered extra items that were not included in the pre fixe menu. The oysters, wasabi slaw, and focaccia bread were added to our dinner special. We were definitely satisfied with our meal. Ambiance was nice, with your average noise. Thank you for this wonderful meal. We're definitely coming back.

    We came here for an early lunch and enjoyed our service and cocktail drinks. We ordered the Seafood Roll with King Crab, Raw Oysters, Peruvian scallops, Fish&Chips, Clam with Chirizo, Beet Salad, Wasabi Slaw and Caesar Salad. We really enjoyed the Roll, Oysters, Fish&Chips and all the salads. Would recommend! Peruvian scallops are one of my favorite things and I was underwhelmed with the flavor of their preparation. Another miss was the clams. Flavors were spot on but the clams themselves had a mushy consistency. I mentioned it to the bartender and he didn't seem to want to address it. Overall a nice place but I'd skip the last two dishes mentioned above.

    One of my favorites in the South Bay. Relatively new. It's a smaller space with a nice ambience. My bf and I love the scallops and oysters here. Ribeye was also really good. We tried the crab claw and it was good but for $7 each we didn't really think they were worth it as they are tiny. One time we got the clam chowder and it was amazing and the last time we went it was watery and tasted like tap water so idk if they changed the recipe. Cocktails are pretty good as well. Bartender will adjust your drink if needed. Cute date night spot.

    My husband and I walked by here and saw their prime rib deal on Mondays - $25 for a 10 oz with horseradish and au jus sauce....what a deal! We were also there during happy hour which was awesome; some of the sides we wanted was on it! We got two prime rib cooked medium rare, brussel sprouts ($7), wasabi slaw ($5), and scalloped potatoes ($12 not on the happy hour menu). The meat was cooked perfectly with not much fat on it. The skin was peppery and flavorful and the meat was juicy. I wish the horseradish had more heat to it but understand not everyone may like it that way. My favorite sides was the potatoes and slaw. The potatoes came to us looking like a slice of cake - thick and super buttery. I know they say there's garlic, jalapenos and cheddar in it but the butter reigned supreme. I didn't taste any wasabi in the slaw, but it felt refreshing after eating the heavy potatoes and meat. I couldn't taste the gochujang in the potatoes, but I could taste the bacon! That was delicious. Service was fast - There was only one other table being waited on when we went. Our waters were filled consistently and finished plates were taken away promptly. The space has an "outdoor" area that was blocked off during the day. Perhaps in summer when its warmer they'll open the whole place up? Parking is up and down the street and all metered.

    Fabulous experience! I never venture to this part of Redondo (almost Torrance) but zero regrets. We tried both the crab roll (Connecticut style) and the lobster roll (Connecticut style and added the caviar and crème fraiche). Personally, the crab was my favorite but the rest of the table preferred the lobster, so who's to say ‍ except that both were delicious! We also tried the tiger hamachi - solid flavors! The bread and garlic butter were filling and the oysters were fresh! The horseradish did the trick, delivering what felt like a shot of Novocain to the nose. Crème brûlée cheesecake also a showstopper. The service was top notch, super helpful and polite. The ambience is cute, perfect date spot or just catching up with old friends. We'll definitely go back!

    Indoor and outdoor seating in this beach town made for such a relaxing evening. This place is consistently good every time we come! We started with raw oysters -- super fresh and buttery, absolutely delicious. The garlic parm Shrimp Focaccia was so flavorful and savory, and the Prime Rib (on a Monday!) was only $26.99 -- what a deal! Service was amazing from start to finish -- the hostess, waiter, and busser were all on point and friendly. Definitely one of our favorite go-to spots by the beach!

    I had a very welcoming and nice experience as an 11:30am weekday Monday opening patron coming for the Monday Prime Rib served all day. Because it's Prime Rib and does take a long time to slow roast and cook, when I arrived, it was already ready to be served. They prepare it before opening. You know you're not getting "yesterday's leftovers" so to speak because they only offer Prime Rib on Monday. On Tuesday they do offer a french dip prime rib sandwich which they admit are limited to the remnants of Monday's Prime Rib and/or prepares on Monday in anticipation for Tuesday. It sounds like it's worth trying out on Tuesdays. The Monday Prime Rib is 10oz in size/weight and has minimal fat and in fact it's all edible, no tendons or bones either. It comes with nothing, no sides, so after tax and tip you're around $30 I'd recommend this and have it medium rare. It's herb crusted and tender. Parking is easy and there's free with unlimited no time limits (other than watch out for Street Cleaning days) if you're willing to walk. The service as friendly and fast. Because I ordered the Prime Rib and all they needed to do was carve a slice, my meal was served fresh and fast and it only took 30 minutes to dine.

    Short rib pasta
    Arianna S.

    So boom -- I was assigned the very serious responsibility of finding a dinner spot for my Nana's birthday. No pressure, right? I had bookmarked this place a while back, so it was finally its time to shine We sat outside (brave, I know), but the heaters were working like they were trying to get into heaven. Amen. Now let's talk about the main event: the food. I ordered the shrimp Caesar salad. Nana got the fish & chips (and she wasn't the biggest fan), My mom had the miso salmon, my aunt went for the short rib pasta, her girlfriend also got the miso salmon -- but upgraded with Brussels sprouts -- and my uncle ordered the seafood roll. We also started with calamari, fries, and drinks because we believe in abundance. Let me tell you: everything on that table did NOT stand a chance. The service- Attentive, accommodating, and patient with our "let's add one more thing" energy. If you're in the area, show them some love. I already have plans to come back for that short rib pasta!! P.S. Meter parking is available.

    Eggs and Smoke Salmon Toast

    Salt & Pearl is very, very good. I am writing this as an updated review. My earlier review can be found below. As you will see, I was torn about writing it and decided to go back to Salt & Pearl for dinner to give it another try. In retrospect, I probably jumped the gun on my first review. Food: I ordered oysters, Peruvian scallops, and wild Mexican white shrimp from the Crudo & Raw Bar menu as an appetizer, and the Maine seafood roll as my entree. The oysters were smaller East Coast oysters, and were fresh with a little bit of salinity and minerality that you get with East Coast oysters. The Peruvian scallops were also fresh and tasty. The menu says they are prepared in a habanero confit with toasted coconut, mango, and micro cilantro. I did not notice any heat from the habanero confit, but I found the shredded coconut to be a great complement to the scallops (providing some nice textural difference) and the mango added a touch of sweetness and acidity. (Note - The scallops are small, but again, very tasty.) My scallops did not come with an micro cilantro. The shrimp were good, but just a touched overcooked (shaped more like an O than a C and somewhat firm). However, I did like the brushed on olive oil with herbs, and the cocktail sauce was flavorful. Overall, the oysters, scallops, and shrimp were very satisfying. The star of the meal was the Maine seafood roll. You can choose to have either lobster or king crab. I chose lobster. It came with a generous portion of lobster, and the bread was nice and soft. The lobster was served in a nice, creamy mayonnaise sauce ... delicious. Maine lobster rolls are served cold and typically prepared with mayonnaise and celery (in contrast to the Connecticut lobster roll which is served warm and covered in butter ... which Salt & Pearl also offers). I didn't really notice the celery, and the mayonnaise sauce is generous. So if you like your Maine lobster roll to be creamy, then Salt & Pearl is for you. Service: I sat at the bar, and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. Bottom Line: I previously gave Salt & Pearl three stars. I am revising that to five stars. The oysters were good. The shrimp was okay. But the scallops and Maine seafood roll were great. *** PRIOR REVIEW *** I was torn about whether I should write this review. I visited Salt & Pearl over a year ago and ordered scallops and the fish and chips, which I vaguely recall as being very good. But I recently visited again for their brunch and was somewhat underwhelmed. So this review is just for my brunch experience. I will be visiting again soon for dinner and will update this accordingly. Food: I ordered their the eggs and smoked fish toast from the brunch menu. It was a simple dish of house-smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, and fried arugula on two pieces of buttered toast. The salmon had a hint of miso flavor and was plated as small chunks on the toast. I was hoping for something like gravlax (salt cured salmon with dill), but that was my misunderstanding and not theirs. The eggs were prepared American style (firmer compared to the custardy French style). The fried arugula was a nice touch, but served more like a garnish than a main component of the dish. Overall, the dish tasted fine, not great but also not bad. It was a little difficult to eat because both the salmon and eggs were in smaller pieces which fell off the toast. Service: My server was friendly and attentive. Bottom Like: I thought the eggs and smoked salmon toast was okay. Again, I am torn to write a review based on a single dish and will update when I visited again.

    Stopped by for a quick happy hour and was greeted with excellent service and amazing ambiance. I started with a lovely house margarita & seared albacore for appetizer. The albacore was well cooked but could lacked flavor. I had the seafood chowder which absolutely hit the spot and fulfilled my seafood craving. Would definitely come back with friends or family.

    DIVINE! We received a gift card over the holidays for this place. Passed by it so many times going to the other restaurants and am sad I've been missing out in this gem! We had 7:15 reservation, it was initially out in their heated patio but since it was raining I called to be placed inside. They accommodated us with no issues. Service was great! We had multiple staff come up and offer suggestions. The table next to us suggested the Garlic Shrimp (they got another one to go!).. SOO GOOD! I could've just ate that. It was heavenly and a MUST TRY. Miso Salmon was the best salmon dish I've had. The pairing of everything was delicious. The lobster Mac and cheese had plenty of lobster. The albacore was also tasty but would not re order. The vibe was very chill and romantic. Definitely a great date night or small group celebration spot.

    What is the noise level here?

    It's pretty high at peak times ..we ask to be seated in first row of tables on the inside patio. Closest to sidewalk. Place is great food and service. But noise makes conversation difficult. 😀

The bathroom I used was gender neutral, and there is a convenient parking lot right in front. They do not serve food here, so some folks bring their own.
