    El Diablo Burger
    Hyeonmi S.

    The biscuits were there BEST part. I got the El Diablo burger which despite the name and price the taste was pretty regular. It wasn't a bad burger but there was nothing special about it. The outside area was a nice seating area and the service was great.

    A super good vibe for lunch on a sunny afternoon. The menu a bit fish funky so I ordered different things and made my own. One might see nubile mermaids occasionally glide by, but who's looking. Pure So Cal. Great stop after Palos Verdes ocean cliffs and their undulating roads.

    Hook & Plow Benedict
    Yun-Wen L.

    Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - ordered the Hook & Plow Benedict with smoked salmon, two poached eggs, brava crispy potatoes, marinated capers, and hollandaise sauce. The smoked salmon was quite salty, the potatoes a bit bland, and the capers quite sour. So if I got a bite of everything, it was fairly good but it was a bit difficult to hunt for the tiny capers and ensure that the ratio of salmon to potatoes were perfect. Service: 5/5 - we arrived just after 10:00 as they were still setting up. Once ready, they immediately greeted us and let us pick any seat that we preferred. He gave us his full attention with no urgency so we were able to just enjoy our meal and chat. Ambiance: 5/5 - we sat outside on a beautiful Saturday morning with some holiday decorations. It was quiet, so it was easy to have a conversation! Value for price: 3/5 - great atmosphere so it was the perfect place to hang out and catch up. Unfortunately, not the best meal at $20+ per dish for some smoked salmon tossed on potatoes.

    Great food and phenomenal service from Stefanie! Would come back, definitely recommend! Loved the outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade, it was relaxing and great place to grab a bite to eat!

    It was a beautiful 4th of July day and Hubbers and I didn't want to waste the day. So we woke up early-ish, stopped at the coffee shop for waker-uppers as well as pup cups for fur babies we were with, then took them to the dog park. While there, Hubbers and I discussed where to go for lunch. Dog friendly is a must since we had pups with us. Using the process of elimination, we thought this was the best place to go. We came through early so street parking wasn't a challenge. It was so early, in fact, that this place was r even open yet. So we took the time to explore its immediate surrounding areas: shops, more eateries, learning the beach is only a couple blocks away, etc. It wasn't very busy so we were seated immediately. The sun was blaring a bit much so we opted for shade (they have plenty of umbrellas, so all good!) Immediately, we knew exactly what to get the pup. We wanted to try so many things on the menu but we decided to get a couple of starters and go from there: ROASTED PEAR AND BURRATA: Our server (my memory sucks, but I think his name was Tyler?) suggested we split the plate (at no extra cost) as we might enjoy it more. He was right, it was easier. But I'll say this: I was addicted to this salad - I almost ordered another to take home! The blend of burrata, arugula and pecans with the truffle dressing were perfect. The cinnamon wasn't strong, but it added to the taste. SEAFOOD PLATTER (+ extra half dozen oysters): Everything was fresh! The oysters were shucked clean, the shrimps were bigger than what I'm used to (delish!), nice sauce on the Peruvian scallops, ceviche was seasoned well and came with guac a side of tortilla chips and the tuna poke (also with guac) was excellent. This platter sure got us off to a good start - and almost finish! CLAM CHOWDER: We were gonna Antonio this, but we were much too curious. And boy, were we glad we got it: it is one of the best clam chowders we've had. (Top two, for sure!) It was very tasty, and very hearty! There was a lot of depth and love made with this soup. Get this! TEMPURA FISH TACOS: We were kinda full at this point, but this we also had to try. Made to order, fish was battered thin. It honestly didn't need anything: the sauce was a good match with the fish. Me likey! We liked this place so much, we came back with two other peeps with us (before I got the chance to write a review!) We were served by Brittany who was also very friendly and welcoming, but not as efficient or attentive as Tyler. (We didn't get one of our orders - which happened to be my favorite part and burrata salad - and it was hard to flag her done when needed. I'm not faulting her for that, too, they did seem understaffed. FOOD: 5. There was nothing we didn't like! SERVICE: 4.5 (5 for Tyler, 4 for Brittaney.) VALUE: 4. More than fair. PARKING: Street only. Metered parking at $2/hr. OVERALL: 4.5. Excellent first (and second!) run. Although Hubbers and I talked about trying out other places around here, we'd always come back and recommend this place.

    The place has a rustic feel to it. Met a friend here. The night we came here only two people were working on the floor. Service suffered. Skip the Cheddar and Scallion Biscuit for 7.00 dollars each they were burnt the taste was not good. When asked the server replied that's how they are supposed to be. Clam Chowder tastes as if it was made days prior. The burger was overcooked. Bad night won't be coming back

    Cheesecake
    Tricia M.

    Fantastic food! We had a group of 9 people and booked a table on the patio. Everyone loved what they ordered! We started with calamari, furikake fries and battered avocado. Then I had the shrimp and grits, which was a perfect dish - I only wish I had the space to have eaten more. It really was rich, cheesy, creamy and good with jumbo shrimp and perfectly cooked sunny side eggs. Dessert was this yuzu cheesecake, which was not to tart or sweet. Just a perfect note to end on! My daughter had the apple cobbler and liked it so much she didn't want to share! Lol

    Breakfast Burrito was the bomb!
    Susan S.

    Always the best food and service. Sure hope they bring back the outdoor seating! I usually get the Breakfast Sandwich and thought I would try the Breakfast Burrito. So glad I did. It was the bomb!

    Steak Sandwich
    Jillian N.

    I'm very impressed by this restaurant! Slow and quiet for a Saturday morning, but wow did the food and service show up. Music was a nice touch, classics constantly played during our visit. Appreciated the chef making sides of fruit for us. Server said it was prepped fresh daily. Steak sandwich - absolutely amazing. Flavorful and savory. I'd come back just for this alone.

    Amazing happy hour, highly recommended! 1/2 off drafts and house wine and a few discounted cocktails plus an awesome happy hour menu to choose from! We stopped by one afternoon and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff is fun and kind and the patio and outside seating are so cute! It's a vibe! My favorite is the salmon poke! So tasty and fun, you don't miss tuna at all! The house fries are a must as well. Very unique flavoring and delicious, we got two orders. I imagine this spot is awesome any time but it has been one of my favorite happy hours so far! 3-6pm on weekdays!

After 30 more minutes most of our order came out with the exception of the garlic bread. I was told that it takes a significant amount of time to make and asked if i wanted something else instead. I felt an hour for two burritos was excessive so declined adding anything else. Moments later my bread appeared. It took a full hour and some change to receive our order which I thought was unreasonable, especially since at this point we were the only patrons. Overall: Food was alright, reasonably priced, and portions were aligned with the price. However, I would recommend ordering ahead or anticipate a long wait time. When we went we were one of two patrons but it seemed they had a fair stream of take out orders. I frequent the area but do not live nearby and nothing caught my attention enough to return.

Positives: - calamari was fried perfectly, batter was light and crunchy and seasoned nicely. - Fish and Chips: portion was HUGE could not finish it. Fish was fresh and flaky, batter was light, crispy and not oily. - Fries were crispy and nicely seasoned and not overly salted. - Coleslaw was tasty, crunchy, and not too creamy or soggy. I don't like it when coleslaw is a soupy mess. - Price was very reasonable for the quantity and quality of food we got. - Us "old folks" enjoyed the background music from the 80s. Good ambiance. Cons: - Default tip option on card scanner started at 20% for a place where you seat yourself, order at the counter, and pick up your own food when called.

My go-to order is the salmon with garlic butter, always delicious. Somewhat recently (past year or two) they changed their rice and I'm not a huge fan of the new noodley rice. I've since swapped to roasted corn.... but I miss the original rice, especially when the garlic butter would go onto it! I also love that they have a rewards program now because I've been racking up points pretty quickly, especially since my whole family loves this place and we usually place pretty big orders!
