Best Gastro Pubs in Baldwin Hills

We had a fabulous experience as a group of 4 adults and 4 kids. We made our reservation via OpenTable the night before and had no difficulties securing a table for our larger group. I got a text saying that our table was ready and was able to easily communicate ahead of time. We arrived at the resort and were promptly offered a shuttle ride down to the restaurant (as I was on crutches). The shuttle driver even ran inside to snag 2 stuffed whales to give to my young kids. Very thoughtful. We arrived at the restaurant and had wonderful service from Tabitha—-everything from soft blankets to portable heaters. And then the sun came out blazing halfway through our meal and I overheard her offering a nearby table her own personal sunscreen because she overheard them talking about how they were unprepared for the sun and were concerned about exposure. I thought that extra touch was so thoughtful. I don’t even need to waste my space on talking about the view. It’s unbeatable. You won’t find a better view in any other restaurant ever. Period. You can even hear the waves crashing. If you sit on the west patio you will be treated to 180 degree water views that include the Point Vicente lighthouse as well. Food standouts: the hot lobster roll was perfect! Chips and guacamole excellent (and I don’t even usually like guacamole). Shrimp Cobb salad. Burger. Poke bowl. And the kids were all thrilled about their chicken tenders. Enough that they even asked to eat their leftovers the next day—which they usually aren’t willing to do. After lunch our group took a lovely stroll down the ocean path. Because I was on crutches I planted myself on a bench at the top while the rest of my group continued on and everyone was treated to outstanding—we were even lucky enough to see seals frolicking nearby. Because our validation got us $10 parking for the day, we could have explored for as long as we wanted. The path goes all the way to the lighthouse!

We are a group of African American Men (10 +) that have been knowing one another over 40yrs. We meet for dinner for our bdays. Rockefeller's is our first SouthBay experience and it was a very good choice. We were greeted by our waiter, I'm bad with names so......he was a very patient and kind man. He took care of our party of 11 by himself. The food was great, drinks ok and yhe whole night was a huge success. We will be back sometime doing the incoming year. Thank you Rockefeller!

Went for breakfast and the people were really nice but the windows were open and it was so cold. Coffee and food got cold quickly.

The food was pretty good and they have a happy hour menu, which was a big bonus, but the food was not exceptional.

Took a while to get served but once we did the staff was fabulous and attentive. Great ambiance but a bit noisy.
