I had never walked into this establishment prior to last night because I do not drink alcohol and I thought there would be no reason. I stand corrected. Their menu is quite extensive with all sorts of comfort food all of whom beckoned you to order them. I ordered the fig and apple panini with a side of roasted veggies......perfect. We ordered a side of fries......perfect. My friend ordered the black garlic honey habanero chicken sandwich with green salad.....perfect. Really ample portions as well. Service was really stellar and totally in tune with the setting. Zane and Katie handled all of the diners with ease and a very pleasant helpfulness and kind spirit. Kudos to them. The ambience is definitely upbeat with your choice of sports on multiple big screens and so is a bit boisterous but not rowdy and there are retreats within the establishment which are a bit separate from the sports energy in the main dining area.. Such a wonderful first time experience this Tap House proved to be. Very much recommend.

First time visiting brewport and was excited to try their large selection of self serve beers…read more First impression by the young lady at the front was terrible. She asked " first time here" I said "yes", second question "how many in your party" I said "8, but im still waiting for my party to all walk in". Well we stood there like idiots with the rest of my party and then I was confused as she ignored us. I then asked "do we seat ourselves!" Well I got a "yeah" umm well it be nice if she could communicate this. Well I asked for menus and didn't get a very welcoming vibe. The gentleman that assisted us with our orders was kind and polite. Food was ok, not a huge fan. Beer selection was ok. We chose to do the wrist band where they charge for how much you pour but when we poured it was a lot of foam and we had to re pour which we get charged for that too. So wasn't a fan of that. Probably wouldn't visit again. Was really disappointed.

Good vibe, the kind of spot where you lose track of time without trying too hard. California has no shortage of breweries competing for your attention and your wallet... Five Points earns it.

Walking in, the beers were up on a board, but didn't have any descriptions. We sat there looking for a few minutes before the beertender said they had a menu at the bar also. We tried a couple different beers each. I would say everything was solid, but maybe not my favorite beers in the general area. Overall staff was nice, and it's great to be so dog friendly. It's family friendly too, which is good as long as kids aren't running around like the night we went in. I probably won't return because it just wasn't my jam, but I still think it's worth a stop if you haven't been in before.

I really love Poké bowls for the fresh fish, the healthy aspect, but also that it has so many fun textures, colors, and flavors in it. The Poké bowl comes with a side of spicy mayo, and I didn't use a whole lot of it, but it did add a great flavor to the bowl. I paired it with a citrusy IPA (I don't remember the name of it because somebody else ordered the pitcher) and it was delicious. The service is always good whether I go with one other person or 8. The music is amazing, (I love quizzing the 20-something's to see if they know who the bands are when the videos come up). There are tons of things to look at (if you have younger kids, a lively game of I spy will keep them entertained long enough for the food to arrive and maybe even for you to eat). I don't understand why they don't actually play live music there except fine, I get it. The neighbors might protest at the noise levels. We will definitely be back and if they are an option at an airport or other destination, we often choose them first.

I went on a self-guided pizza crawl near LAX before picking up my family flying in from the East…read moreCoast. Stop 1 was ESBC The Slice and Point. This was one of the best pizza-related choices I've made in Southern California. Parking is a little tough...I ended up parking a few blocks away on a main street, which was fine, but didn't notice there was a public parking structure available closer behind a building across the street. The place was crowded and lively on the early Saturday evening I was there. That's a great sign...I was just getting a slice to go, but overheard the host telling people it would only be 10-15 minutes for a table. I had a classic cheese slice. (My litmus test for NY pizza at a new location.) It was FANTASTIC. Easily among the very best crusts I've had on the west coast...super thin and crispy...exactly as it should be. The balance of sauce and cheese was also perfect. Too many pie shops seem to treat sauce as an afterthought...too thin a layer, almost not tastable. But not here...it was perfect...the right amount of everything. There are other really delectable looking pizza options, even for vegetarians like me, including a fascinating "Cacio E Pepe" and a Margherita. (I also saw one which looked all sauce like a tomato pie, which looked really good. (Plus other options like Fried Brussels Sprouts or Fried Cauliflower...cheese bread, and salads. The beer menu, as one would expect with "pint" in the name, is extensive with lots on tap and "guest" brewery selections. Lots of wines to choose from as well. Slice and Pint may be local to El Segundo (lucky El Segundonians!) But my experience with this one slice is that it would be worth the drive from anywhere in SoCal to eat here...If you love NYC-style thin slices...like real legitimate ones...charge up the car and get yourself there.

Went to Slice & Pint during a really busy night and the atmosphere was loud and somewhat chaotic…read more We were told to find a seat and order up front, but honestly I didn't hear the part about needing the table number first. After finding a table, we went back up ready to order and the server responded pretty rudely: "Did you not hear what I said?" I completely understand restaurants get busy and mistakes happen, especially in a loud environment, but the attitude felt unnecessary over a simple misunderstanding. We ended up leaving and went to Japonica around the corner instead, where the service was much friendlier.

Their habanero mango house made hot sauce. Use sparingly. It has a kick. Once on the lips, it will be tingling for some time. But in a good way if you like spicy. Your lips will instantaneously feel vivacious, like lip plumping serum. No injections needed. you should thank the kitchen staff on your way out. Oh and I almost forgot. It is family friendly with games to keep the kids entertained. Jenga anyone?

He gave us a great recommendation and said this was one of the best spots near the pier. The reviews looked good too so he definitely sold us on giving it a try. When we walked in we didn't see anyone at first so I asked a host if we could sit anywhere. His attitude was terrible. He was rude, had this arrogant vibe, and completely threw us off. That alone made us walk right back out because we didn't want to be served by someone acting like that. Shoutout to the chef though because he was genuinely nice, helpful, and even made us laugh. Maybe I would give this place another chance in the future but if that same host is there we will probably skip it again.

The first thing I noticed about Manhattan Beach Post was the plants. Not because there were a few…read moreplants. Lots of restaurants have a few plants. These plants appeared to have union representation. They're everywhere. Hanging from things. Growing out of things. Quietly observing your meal. The whole place feels like someone built a really nice restaurant and then let nature move in as a long term tenant. The room hums. Not loudly. Not aggressively. Just enough. Glasses clink. People lean into conversations. Servers weave through the room carrying plates that look heavy enough to alter their center of gravity. Nobody seems rushed. Everybody seems busy. It's a difficult balance. The biscuits arrived first. Now, I'd heard about the biscuits. People talk about these biscuits the way fishermen talk about the one that got away. Slightly dramatic. A little emotional. Hard to verify. Turns out the stories were true. Warm bacon cheddar biscuits with maple butter. I took one bite and immediately understood why people order a second round. The outside has just enough structure to remind you it's baked. The inside is soft enough to make you wonder whether butter has secretly become a building material. We ordered another. Not because we needed another. Because apparently that's what happens here. The creamy polenta showed up next and felt like the culinary equivalent of a weighted blanket. Comforting. Smooth. Relaxed. The sort of dish that encourages you to slow down and stop checking your phone. The duck was one of my favorites. Lightly fried with crisp skin and tender meat, resting on white Italian beans and rosemary. It felt like something a French chef would cook after spending a weekend in the countryside and becoming briefly inspired by fresh air. At some point you stop evaluating food and simply nod in agreement with it. This was one of those moments. Dessert was equally dangerous. The olive oil cake arrived with strawberries and disappeared much faster than logic suggested it should. The cheesecake somehow managed to be rich and light at the same time, which feels like it should violate a law of physics somewhere. Service deserves its own mention. The whole team operates like a group project where everyone actually did their part. Plates appeared when they should. Water glasses mysteriously refilled themselves. Questions were answered without anyone making you feel like you should already know the answer. The chef's French influence shows up everywhere, but not in a showy way. Nothing feels complicated for the sake of being complicated. Everything feels like somebody spent a lot of time thinking about it so you wouldn't have to. By the end of the meal, I realized Manhattan Beach Post had done something difficult. It felt special without feeling serious. You can dress up. You can come casually. You can celebrate something important or absolutely nothing at all. Just order the biscuits. The plants already know you're going to.

Good experience at this restaurant in Manhattan beach. Modern take on Southern and general American…read morecuisine. Food was great, but not mind-blowing in my opinion. Some dishes could've been executed better. Going down the list of dishes I had here: - Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits: These were more like scones rather than biscuits. Crunchy with good bacon and cheddar flavor. - Japanese Hamachi Crudo: Unique and I liked the citrusy flavor and creamy texture. However, 3 small slices of fish for $26 was overpriced. - Leafy Greens & Radicchio: Solid and crispy salad with a nice tangy dressing. The cheese also added a lot of sharp flavor which was nice. - Skirt Steak: Good flavor and char, but a bit tough. Also some dry pieces. - Chilean Sea Bass: Lemon orzo risotto was creamy and delicious. The sea bass itself was okay, nothing special. It felt overpowered by the risotto. The fish was moist and flaky though. - 20 Oz Prime Beef Ribeye: Quality was subpar relative to price. Portion size was solid by the steak itself was inconsistent. Some of the pieces were rarer while others were more well-done even though we asked for medium rare. There were also some dry pieces which I did not like. Flavor was good though. - Strawberry and Olive Oil Cake: Was confused since there was just a thin layer of cake, but realized the title also referred to the mousse. I would title it 'Strawberry Mousse with Olive Oil Cake" to make it less confusing. Regardless, this was a delicious dessert! Love the fruity strawberry and savory pistachio flavors as well as the smooth textures. - S'mores sundae: Got this on the house for my aunt's birthday. A generous portion but the components were a bit too sweet for my liking. I visited this restaurant for a birthday that I organized and my experience was overall good. Reservation was made easy using OpenTable and I could also mention it was for a birthday occasion. The ambiance was gorgeous with good mood lighting. Good for group and 1 on 1 dining. Parking is metered or street parking. Overall, I probably wouldn't come out of my way to dine here again, but my experience wasn't bad just not significant enough to put in my rotation. Would come back if someone treated me here though.
