Best Gastro Pubs in Pacific Palisades

Great experience, nice ambiance , the staff were so nice and helpful, Great place for the birthday dinner for my girlfriend, everyone had a good time and were very comfortable.

We ended up switching from our table to sit at the bar for a closer view of the game and happy to say it was great! We were able to order full menu and the bartender really gave us great service!

This is our go to place for weekend brunch when we have friends or family visiting (who have we have never visited us in Manhattan Beach specifically, because we lived on the North side of the Bay for a long time) or we just want to treat ourselves. THIS particular weekend my husband told me it was a surprise who was meeting us, and he told me this when I told up at like 10am on THE morning of brunch! Of course, he just wanted to take me out to brunch but knew I would argue against spending money when, (him later quoting hat he thought I would say if I knew he was just taking me out) “I can make pretty much everything on that menu if I can run to the store! And he wasn’t wrong. So I guess when I was in the shower he opened my phone (which we both have free access to each others phones any time, no explanation needed, so this is fine) and searched for and opened the OpenTable App, since he had seen me use it to make brunch reservations with you guys in the past. Hence why he made it for 2 people… not for 5, which would have been us & the 3 friends he said were coming. I of course saw the text notification & was like, I didn’t make this reservation, he must just not know how to use the App! So his total lack of knowledge of how to use the App didn’t throw me off in ANY way LOL. So we get there, and surprise surprise - Brunch for 2! But we get there, we’re seated and he had one of his best buddies who lives a few blocks north of Manhattan beach Blvd show up with my order from Starbucks & a bouquet of flowers from my FAVORITE MB florist that he had ordered while I was in the shower. Best brunch @ THE BEST brunch spot in ES/MB/HB!!

Wonderful evening ambience, informal enough to relax with strangers and friends: formal enough to wear business casual.

The food was great, but the service was poor. It looked like they might have been short-handed and we might have understood if they had shared an explanation. We sat outside and at first received immediate attention from our server when ordering drinks, but then she disappeared for at least 30 minutes. We had to ask 3 times to be able to place our food orders. However, once our orders were placed we received them quickly. We ordered a variety of brunch and lunch items and all 5 members of our party were happy with their choices. I had the Ube Stuffed French Toast and it was a perfect combination of ube cream, brioche french toast and fruit with a sprinkle of pistachios for the perfect amount of crunch. I also had a delicious spicy cucumber cocktail. I asked our server for a recommendation and it was the perfect blend of cucumber and tequila. If the service hadn't been off, I would have given this a 5-star review.
