    Great brunch/lunch spot! I had reservations on a Sunday morning, and we were seated pretty fast. We were seated outside since the weather was nice and it was a cute vibe. My friend and I ordered the Crispy Tuna Rice and Zinc Burger. Both were delicious and packed with bold flavors. Overall, great place for brunch with friends!

    Filet Bites

    The staff here is so amazing! They were so friendly and made sure we were enjoying our time (without being overbearing). We came for happy hour and had no regrets. It's just a good deal for a majority of the plates we got. We got the spicy tuna, the empanadas, the grilled pear and burrata, and the filet bites. We got the spicy tuna because everyone else around was. It was pretty average, I would say maybe skip it and get another app. The empanadas came out hot! The chicken was seasoned perfectly and the portion of bread to meat was . The pear and burrata was refreshing and the perfect medium in between the filet bites and the empanadas. The filet bites were our favorite. We couldn't believe this was on the happy hour and if we didn't have the tuna, we would have ordered another! The restaurant had a live band that day and the weather was sunny and not cold too. Everything was essentially perfect

    Okay, I had no idea they had a bottomless mimosas option here, I will definitely be coming back for that at some point, haha. Great ambiance, delicious food, and fast service, plus live music (only Thursday nights & Sundays for brunch), Zinc @ Shade in Manhattan Beach has it all! A five-star experience all around, I was pleasantly surprised from our friendly server (Jenna?) to Hugo, who playing live music while we were there. We didn't mention it, but it was actually a birthday brunch and it felt so perfect! I can't wait to come back here again and try the white pizza (apparently it's very popular), as well as many of the other delicious items they offer. Also, It's super convenient that there's a parking structure below that you can park at that's relatively cheap. Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Value: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.75/5

    Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice
    Kathy Z.

    As much as I liked the vibes here and sitting in front of a fire, the food we had was surprisingly mid and rather overpriced for the quality and taste. We came for DineLA and only one other table was occupied - at dinnertime on a summer Friday. :( Yes, it's a hotel restaurant, but I checked reviews beforehand and had high hopes. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy the meal. We tried the Steak Frites, Shrimp & Grits, and Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice - all pretty, but just did not taste as good as it should have. This was for DineLA, but these items are also on their regular menu. The sorbet and the NY cheesecake, though, were highlights. I would come back just to enjoy the sorbet in front of a fire. Service was a bit slow and we were left to ourselves for most of the meal, which was fine. Parking is available in a nearby garage, be sure to pay the meter.

    Mexican Cesar Salad with grilled salmon
    Brittany J.

    Cute restaurant at a local hotel tucked away in the corner. Nice patio seating with light breeze. Pup friendly. Had the blackened fish tacos and Mexican Cesar salad with salmon. Delicious and fresh. Would definitely order again but also may many other good menu options Portion was filling and reasonable for cost.

    The patio is a nice place for happy hour. Seating is available indoors next to the bar and hotel check-in desk. Lighting is on the dark side during the day. Kids can play in the outdoor mall's courtyard Convenient location downtown MB.

    Cinnamon Roll
    Jynelle Christine S.

    My girls and I went here for brunch and it was really good! I was able to get a reservation for 8 and we were sat right away. The service was great and the waiters constantly would check on us and make sure we were okay :) The food overall was excellent- my steak was perfectly medium rare and the eggs were not overcooked. Only thing is that parking is either street or paid parking. Otherwise, this is a great place to get brunch!

    Espresso Martini
    Hayden L.

    Great ambiance with covered patio and very dog friendly. They even brought some water for my pup without being asked. That was very appreciated! It's a great spot for a casual Sunday afternoon brunch or snack, which is what we did while walking the dog. The Brussels Sprouts and Goat Cheese pizza was kind of bland. Nothing too special. The fries were hot and fresh which was good. The front desk, runners and bussers were great. Our server was friendly, yet he was also the bartender and taking care of a large party inside. As a result, we were forgotten about and there were long stretches of time where nobody checked on us. We had to hunt him down to pay the bill. This isn't his fault per se, but management shouldn't have had him take our table on the far end of the patio if he was taking care of a large party inside.

    Breakfast Burrito with Avocado

    Amazing Christmas morning meal. Service was also great and the workers were very accommodating to food allergies!

    Great food and customer service. Thanks to our server Victor. The ambiance with the fire pit and sunset was so pretty! Thanks again!

    Sourdough Toast w/ Burrata, Pear, Arugula, Pomegranate + Balsamic Drizzle

    Excellent Happy Hour! Ordered INSANELY DELISH Sourdough Toast w/ Burrata, Pears, Arugula, Pomegranates w/ Balsamic Drizzle. Perfect afternoon snack! Lovely Patio & Bar. Nice service.

    Christmas Eve dinner definitely lacking in quality for the price. For 95$, you get a bread roll, amuse bouche (best thing - prawns), a salad, and a main. The biggest letdown was the prime rib. Definitely overcooked when called "medium" (pictured). For those who have had prime rib, can imagine how over cooked this is. It was hard. Usually, you cut the middle of the roast for patrons who want more rarer cuts and the outside of the roast for more well done. But the manager said all the cuts are the same "medium." Which makes me wonder if these were cut from the roast fresh for patrons. I get that it's a holiday dinner, but for a 95$ asking price, the expectation is higher and at least, patrons should be able to ask for a less well done cut.

    Very welcoming management
    Celina C.

    We were here for Dina Around LA event and we were warmly welcomed by the restaurant's team. The outdoor terrace is very nice and had great lighting--not too much sun but just right amount of light--perfect for brunch. You also get a nice ocean breeze. We had some appetizers--crispy calamari and Margherita pizza. Pizza had really good fresh tasting sauce and mozzarella cheese, while the calamari had that perfect crisp and flavor.

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.

However if felt like we did not have a choice but to be seated in the patio area which got really cold & windy, out table was wobbling though they put shoppers on it still felt wobbly. It wasn't the best area to dine in. It felt like they just shoved us in there and did not even ask if we were ok with our table being out in the patio. I preferred to be inside the dining area because it looks more peaceful, comfortable and enjoyable. Overall ambience is nice, bright and airy. The patio is too tight and the guy behind me keeps hitting my chair. We dine in quick because I wasn't liking the area where we were. They could've offered us a better space. Our server was phenomenal!

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.

    Server Álvaro is an actual SAINT at Saint & Second!…read more I want to start by clarifying that I went to S&S yesterday afternoon ready to cry major boo-hoo tears to my two besties, without much of an appetite. Instead, I ended up with a full belly and side cramps from laughing along with our awesome server, Alvaro. The Man. The Myth. The Legend that he is! Small Backstory: Last Friday I lost my job of almost 25 years in public education due to a complicated work accident (my back was broken & I now have screws in my spine) and I planned to whine to my best friends into a cocktail or two, and get out plenty of Kim Kardashian ugly-cry faces until it would be time to go home. Enter ALVARO! This kind man had the nerve to be polite to us! The nerve! LOL. He greeted us with a warm smile while my cold heart was practically making it snow. He explained all portions of the breathtaking menu when I had planed to eat my sadness. He even had the GALL to say if we wanted something not on the menu that he would see what he could do to make it happen! Here I was, ready to drink Unicorn Tears, and he was cheering me up! WHAT THE??! LOL The three is us started with the MEZZE PLATE. And OH LORD! I think we ate the print off of the plates while trying to get to the last crumb. We polished off a whole extra serving of cucumber slices in the process, by the way, and I'm not embarrassed to say that. The Turkish honey-sweetened labne was such a party in our mouths! Make of that what you will. Each of us got a dinner entre, with mine being the S&S Fish and Chips. I loved that the fillet was not overly battered and the chips had an almost double-Belgium fried taste going on. I couldn't help but swipe several spoons worth of aged-cheddar grits off a friend's seared pork chop plate. Now THOSE were some butter-heaven sent grits! My drink, that kept shooting partially through my nostrils from laughter, was a classic margarita on the rocks. No margaritas were injured/harmed in the process of my belly laughter. At some point towards the end of our night, a patron of the mall next door pulled the site-wide fire alarm, ringing through the whole location for everyone to use caution and head to the closest exit. If you grew up like my friends and I, you don't follow that suggestion unless you're trying to run out on the bill like a jerk. Bless be to Alvaro, he stopped by our table several times to apologize about the noise and flashing lights and explained the fire department was working on it. I explained that the Hood Cricket sound didn't bother us and we were happy to wait out the alarm. So not only did Alvaro provide us with excellent service, an outstanding meal, and generous smiles, but he also made sure that we felt SEEN. And THAT is what made the whole evening worth it. No sadness or cringey tears about a lost job were needed. It ends up all we needed was a server named Alvaro at Saint & Second to make my spirits feel high again. Pricing is a bit high but was totally worth it! Patrons were dressed business casual. Sound level, not counting the hood cricket, was mid and conversation was easy to have. Several televisions were playing different stations but no captions were provided. There is handicap parking available in the parking garage located just outside the front door of the establishment and no stairs or elevators are needed to enter. There are several entrances/exits to the available outdoor seating area and outdoor heaters are available. Glances around showed me that every patron I saw was tucking into their plates with smiles and were enjoying themselves. I have already made plans to return to S&S in another two weeks because it was indeed THAT GOOD! And for those fine diners that are wondering, "But what is a Hood Cricket?" An HC is a chirping fire-alarm that some of us are able to tune out with ease. You're welcome!

Although, the portion seemed small considering there is no side dish served with this. (Comes with 3 tacos). I will say that I was pleasantly surprised with how big their brunch menu is. They have a little bit of everything from avocado toast to pancakes to sandwiches. The service left a little to be desired. It seemed very slow even though we arrived not long after they opened and things were fairly quiet. It took a while to get requested items like creamer, receive our food and have our plates cleared.

Our server, Raquel, was lovely and on top of things. I had what I think is the best Mai Tai I've ever had, even while in Hawaii! Just delicious. We enjoyed the fried asparagus and bacon deviled eggs as our appetizer. The buttermilk fried chicken, crispy chicken sandwich and the ribeye melt were really good, but I am STILL thinking about how incredible Cha Cha's Spicy Rigatoni was. So incredibly creamy, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of heat. My daughter orders this every time it's on a menu, and this is by far the best I've ever tasted. SO good. We had mentioned we were celebrating our twins' birthday, and they were served two lovely pieces of chocolate cake with a candle, AND a card for each of them signed by the staff. Never have I experienced that before for a birthday in a restaurant! Just a great touch. I am SO glad my daughter suggested we go here, and every time we're in town we will return. Cannot recommend it enough!!!!

There's a real chew here--a springy, structured bite that gives just enough resistance before yielding. It's deeply satisfying and makes every dish feel more intentional. The cappelloni shows it off best: that almost-famous sauce wraps around each piece, but the pasta holds its own, so you get that perfect balance of silky and structured. Same with the tangiello--the meat sauce tastes like it's been simmering for days, rich and layered, but the noodles never get lost because that chew carries through. The Caesar isn't an afterthought either. It's got a subtle spicy kick that wakes everything up, and if you add chicken, it's done right--well-seasoned, nicely grilled, juicy with a bit of char. It turns a classic into something you actually remember. Dinner is where things go a little heartier, and the pork chop delivers. Fall-off-the-bone tender, but still full of flavor--not just soft for the sake of it. Jame just gets the fundamentals right, then pushes a little further. Thoughtful, textured, and the kind of place where even the chew of the pasta becomes part of the experience.

I was impressed with the clean and modern look of Jane Enoteca from the moment I walked in. Their dishes consist of several handmade pastas, salads and Italian inspired comfort food. My friend and I chose to start our meals with the Meatballs and Brussels Sprouts. Being a Brussels Sprouts fan, I really enjoyed their roasted crispy Brussels sprouts that were tossed in schiaffoni dressing and finished with sesame. Equal in deliciousness were their Meatballs. The Meatballs were tender, rich and saucy. These starters were a great way to kick off our meal here. For our mains, we got their Paccheri Lisci and Tonnarelli. The Paccheri Lisci had a bit of a spicy kick to it. It has spicy pork sausage sugo, fennel, sage and pecorino. It was meaty and flavorful. The Tonnarelli or Cacio e Pepe contrasted nicely with the Paccheri Lisci. This pasta dish was simple, sharp and peppery. This was more bold versus saucy. Last but not least we had some cookies for dessert. I loved the fresh baked snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookies. It was a sweet and perfect ending to the meal here. Overall, I really enjoyed dining at Jame Enoteca. I am now looking forward to trying out their sister restaurant Jame Taqueria down the street.

We ordered the Crab cake, perfecting packed together where it was too dense but gently molded. It was packed with umami and this refreshing citrus after taste..it was so damn good. French fries, were a must crispy tasty fries did not disappoint. Spanish octopus, cooked to perfection- lots of interesting flavors and textures we enjoyed. Lastly we shared the tacos (1 cod 1 shrimp), tasty fat tacos. Accompanied with fresh chips and the guac and salsa that was tasty. What really set it for us, was while we were wrapping up the meal.
