Best Casual Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

A must try if you're in manhattan beach! The food was great, but the service was incredible. Our server Jason Balasbas was so attentive and courteous. His recommendations made all the difference in making dinner exceptional. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience . Food was unexpectedly wonderful . Can't believe I have waited since June to fist dine here. The service team was really on point. Def adding this into the weekly rotation in the neighborhood. Big WOW. Super impressed

Excellent selection of oysters. King crab legs are incredible but very expensive. The bread and chowder make the meal. Worth the cost for special occasions..

Our server - Sebastian! Amazing! Always friendly and gives great advice. Ambience - Dimly lit and a great vibe. Not too boujie and always feel welcomed. Food - each dish is its own star. Cheesy bacon bread is fantastic. Their pretzel appetizer is awesome. Brussel sprouts are super good. Charcuterie board is on point. Their skirt steak is ridiculously good. MBP is my favorite spot in Manhattan Beach!

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!!
