    Redondo Beach Historic Library - Rendering for The Grand Hall during Renovations

    The venue is beautiful, but do not have your event on a holiday or weekend during the day because…read morethe parking is awful and the picnicking public is on the front steps and lawn and continually comes to the door asking to use the restrooms. A weekday or evening would be better, and if possible, bring your own caterer.

    The Venue and Food: RBH is a beautiful location, and their customer service is truly outstanding…read more During the preparation process, they always responded within a couple of days. The only issue we ran into was with the guests that had special food requests (gluten free, allergies, etc.)---there was a slight mix-up and some of them didn't get their food until much much later on in the night. The food though, was great overall! People kept talking about the chicken and the salmon. I remember the guests commenting on how delicious the food was. I remember that my husband and my sister (she went to the food tasting, since I couldn't make it from Northern California), said that they weren't too impressed during the tasting, but they really blew it out of the water for the day of! Kathy: Kathy is so sweet, friendly, and professional--very extroverted! She made sure that all the details were taken care of and the night went rather smoothly. We were a bit scared because I was checking the weather and it read: sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny, BLUSTERY, sunny, sunny. That blustery day? Wedding day. Ugh, right? But fear not, Kathy made sure it all worked out, and we were still able to do the ceremony outside! DJ Lance: GREAT guy. Super sweet, friendly, and he played such great songs. We gave him a list of songs we'd like, and he rolled with the punches and went for it. He also led our guests in a jeopardy game about my husband and me, in order to dismiss the tables for the buffet food. He projected a powerpoint of us as a couple, growing up, in our respective towns. The guests absolutely LOVED him, as did we. We are quite happy that we chose RBH. After about 10 in-person interviews of other locations, we do not regret our decision.

    Julia was, without exaggeration, one of the best servers we've ever had. From the moment we sat…read moredown, she was warm, attentive, incredibly knowledgeable, and somehow managed to make every person at the table feel taken care of -- all while handling a busy afternoon at the Surf Club with total grace. But what truly sets her apart is who she is as a person. During our meal, my young son began choking, and Julia reacted instantly. Calm, quick-thinking, and compassionate, she stepped in immediately and helped save him before things escalated. It was one of the most terrifying moments of my life, and I genuinely don't know what would have happened without her. Beyond being exceptional at her job, Julia is clearly an extraordinary human being. We will never forget her kindness, professionalism, and composure under pressure. The club is incredibly lucky to have her, and so are the members fortunate enough to sit in her section.

The windows were open, you could hear the ocean, and along with the expected dark, masculine feeling decor were splashes of "beachy" things and ocean blue. The staff goes out of their way to make the experience perfect. Our lunch was simple - sandwiches and salads - but in this rarified but still comfortable environment, everything felt like so much MORE. Worth it.

    A friend suggested this restaurant for a small group brunch. It is right on the Redondo Beach…read moreboardwalk. I thought parking would be a nightmare, but there are ample parking spots with inexpensive metered parking. We got a seat in a comfortable booth right by a large window overlooking the marina. I was not planning to have a cocktail but they had so many good choices, including a rum based guava and passion fruit cocktail that just felt right. I didn't even finish reading the menu when I saw the blackened scallop with mushroom risotto dish. The scallops were tender and well seasoned. The risotto was very creamy, cheesy and comforting but the seasoning was mostly truffle oil. I had one slice of fresh mushroom on my plate. It would have been a 10/10 if it had more mushrooms. My friends ordered the cod fish and chips and a beet salad. I tasted the fries and they were delicious and just right with a light batter giving them crunch.

    Ok...so 4 years ago this was mine and my husbands absolute fave place. The food, the drinks, the…read moreservice, the vibes. All were immaculate. We went here on Thursday and just nothing really hit the mark. The sprouts are overcooked, the calamari isn't as good as used to be, the Cesar salad dressing was bland and watery, the fries have changed and weren't as good, the fish and chips were over battered and the batter was like bready. So yeah, big bummer. The drinks were ok. Our waitress was super forgetful and seemed like she was scared of the world. She was writing stuff down and still forgot stuff and we had to ask multiple times. My friend had also ordered the steak and she didn't ask her which one so of course she charged for the more expensive one. Idk if we'll come back

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.
