    Can I move in here? The food is phenomenal. Service is top notch. Great drinks. Such a vile. Feels like home and everyone is a friend. You walk in as a patron and leave as family. I can't stop thinking about the cheese burger!!!

    Service was great. Food was great. They searched for and found the game that I wanted to watch.

    Tavern on Main is a solid spot for late night bites or a drink. It's great because it's open later than a lot of the places around on weekdats and their kitchen stays open till 11. The service is fast and friendly, and the ambiance is that of a nice and cozy local bar. I highly recommend the grilled cheese with tater tots and the buffalo cauliflower! The nachos are not bad either, but the other two stole the show, pretty good for bar food. Food:4.25/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Value: 4/5 Overall: 4/5

    I went there today for the first time after living here for nearly 6 years and boy was I missing out! The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, and it had a good vibe to it. I'd been looking for a place with good fish and chips forever and finally found it. Plus, they have bomb root beer floats.

    What a great place to go to on a Tuesday ... 2 for 1 burgers :D

    Friendly neighborhood pub! Food was great (I had the boneless wings and the portion was generous), delicious drinks and wonderful barstaff. Parking can be tricky when it's busy but on the random Tuesday evening I stopped here it was not awful. Really reasonable prices and close to the airport if you want to stop for a meal/beverage before heading there. I wish there were more establishments like this one in all of California.

Our server Mark was great and explained the menu and popular dishes. We started off with crab cakes and had the branzino, sea scallops and lam chops for the main course. My daughter had grilled chicken and french fries. BTW, the french fries were delicious! We all enjoyed our meals. My lamb chops were perfectly cooked at medium-rare but a little under seasoned. They brought me a salt and pepper mill to season the chops. I was a little surprised that they were under seasoned. I asked for iced tea refills and they were obliging. The meal was moderately priced but for the ambiance and good quality, it was worth it. The service was spot on with plenty of staff attending to our needs. The most challenging part of our experience was finding parking. There's plenty of metered street parking and limited parking lots near the Manhattan Beach pier.

    Nick's Manhattan Beach will always hold a special place in our family's heart…read more In August 2025, I made a dinner reservation at Nick's because my parents were visiting from out-of-town and we had some exciting news to announce: we were pregnant with our first baby! :) On the reservation, I noted this, and didn't expect much. The day of the reservation, the host manager called to confirm that we wanted to share the news at dessert, and if there were any other accommodations we needed, which was very sweet. When we arrived at our table, they had a card signed by staff congratulating us, and it was a night to remember. Great food, great service, and the warm hand towels after my dad demolished the baby back ribs were the cherry on top! Our group also ordered the chilean sea bass, salmon, and bistro plate. 10/10. One of our final meals as a family of two was Valentine's Day 2026. It was our first time being seated indoors, and the ambiance was dim and romantic. The meatloaf special was fantastic! Fast forward to June 2026, and we brought our 3-month-old son to his first NIck's meal (unfortunately, he could not partake) and to celebrate my husband's first Father's Day. On this reservation, I put in a request for outdoor seating that gave us enough room to park our stroller and car seat, and they were able to accommodate that. They were also understanding when me and my husband were running a few minutes past our reservation time due to fhe baby, and we appreciated the flexibility. Noise level was moderate, but definitely quieter outside. If you get nothing else from this review, just remember this: ORDER THE WARM BUTTER CAKE. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT. Thanks for the consistent hospitality and great meals, Nick's!

Too salty and just didn't hit the spot. Not sure if there is a new cook or they changed anything with the recipe, but I don't order it anymore. The other food items are decent and I would visit here again on occassion as it is a solid dinner choice. It's okay with kids. Not a huge restaurant inside, but they also have outdoor covered seating as well for better weather months. Parking: Attached parking structure with pay meters. Street parking. Nearby multi-story lot with pay meters. Can be a bit busy on weekends around here so best to time your visit accordingly if possible.

The food is solid. It's as tasty and well put together as I remember it to be. We started with the bacon cheddar buttermilk biscuits. I think these have been here since day one. They're FULL of lovely smoky bacon pieces and are at least 4" round! It's a pretty hearty appetizer. We quickly moved on to dinner, here's what the table ordered: Lobster & Sweet Corn Risotto - the risotto was cooked perfectly. Be sure to mix that poblano pepper butter in the middle up, it adds a great smoky chili flavor to each bite. My oinly complaint about this dish is that they used claw meat. I'm just not a fan of lobster claw, it's too gelatinously rubbery for me. Skirt Steak - Oooo, this was medium rare to perfection. The smoked paprika chimichurri gave a burst of flavor and a mild heat at the back of my throat. Chilean Sea Bass - Chilean sea bass always cuts like buttah! 2 people ordered this at our table and I'm pretty sure they loved it, that side of the table was pretty silent for 15 - 20 mins. Pork Porterhouse - This dish had the most flavor. The spaetzle was cooked and browned on the griddle, it had a fantastic crispy crust. It was a little on the salty side BUT I think 's because it needed more carbs to tame the salt. For me, it would have been PERFECT with a little rice or mashed potatoes or creamed sunchokes. Parking still sucks in MB but right behind the restaurant is a parking garage that's free after 6 pm.

We didn't have a reservation but the wait staff was able to get a table after a brief 15" wait. Here is how it scored... The Food - Healthy Steak Salad ($23) Score 5/5: My oh my, this was a great salad. I love hanger steak and they cooked it perfectly. The greens were nicely selected and it was not overdressed. The price was reasonable factoring in inflation and Manhattan Beach. The Service Score 5/5: The wait staff was friendly, kind and attentive. The Venue Score 5/5: It really has a small tavern/sports bar look and feel. It's small, maybe less than 25 seats. Reservations highly recommended.

GIve me a break. JUST SAY that The Rockefeller isn't dog-friendly and be done with it, ok? By the way, this incident WAS on Mother's Day 2026, so the staff was particularly overwhelmed. . . so there's that timing. On a previous time my husband and I had brunch here about 4-5 months ago, we DID take our little doggie without any issue. So the staff either has to get their stories straight for next time or just say that The Rockefeller IS dog-friendly, BUT ONLY for a two- or one-person party. Other than that, The Rockefeller's Chilaquiles are phenomenal. It was flavorful and filling. Also, the Bacon & Eggs (two eggs, any style) -- which I had my eggs over-easy -- were outstanding. Bottom-line: Don't bring your dog. It's just too complicated for The Rockefeller to handle. Leave your dog at home.
