This place was great! Beautiful outdoor views on the beach, good food, good drinks. It was a touch pricey but they delivered on that. The Five dragon sandwich was a good Asian fusion twist on a pastrami sandwich and the fries were delicious and came with a garlic sauce that was bomb. I tried the dove and the prickly pear drinks and they were good. Genuinely enjoyed it.

Great spot in Hermosa Beach! Went with a friend, loved the food, Aperol Spritzes were amazing , and they had a live band on the terrace. Super fun vibe!

Let’s the get the obvious out the way… having dinner while watching the sun set into the pacific ocean is always a 5 out 5! If you are looking for that surfer beach Cali-Vibe #Vista marks the spot. Moving on to the main course.. the food. The dishes look like cuisine super models on decadent plates. My Huli Huli chicken was so flavorful and the meat just fell off the bone. My wife’s Lobster Roll looks so good on camera, I felt it had a strong peppery taste.. but that just be my weird taste buds.. cause she left no evidence of it on the plate.
The servers and waiters were all very attentive and friendly, which is why I would definitely revisit this spot.

We ordered just guacamole and chips, yet we were charged for the $19 crab guacamole. What a complete disaster! From the very beginning, we specifically asked if they had a simple guacamole and chips option, and the server said “yes.” But when we questioned the charge, the response was, “that’s what’s on the menu, so I had to charge you for that.” Honestly, charging for something I didn’t eat, and something more expensive, is unacceptable.
To make matters worse, the server’s attitude was dismissive and rude. He literally said, “No mistake, I charged you what’s on the menu, wrote ‘no crab’ obviously,” and walked away with an attitude. I’ve been coming here often, and I have so much respect for the chef and appreciation for the bussers—they’ve always been excellent. But after this experience with our server, I can confidently say I won’t be coming back again.

Great spot right by the beach and the pier. Even without a beer or good food, the patio is top tier for people watching, lol.
Had a great server (wish I could remember his name) and tried several local beers.
Food-wise we LOVED the Crispy Popcorn Cauliflower. Huli Huli Chicken Tulips were good as well.
Wasn’t a huge fan of the Scallop Crudo although my buddy who lives close by is a huge fan of it.
Got the burger as a main and it was excellent. Overall a really nice spot.

Where do I start….
The food is exceptional. We’ve tried just about everything on the menu. The food is Michelin star quality with a beach feel. The attention to detail along with the combination of flavors creates a unique dining experience.
A couple of my faves – chicken tulips, kimchi fried rice, lobster rolls, calamari.
The service is top notch. The servers are kind and courteous.
The drinks are over the top. Probably one of the best old fashioned’s I’ve ever had. The mezcal margarita was delish.
This is a place you can’t just go to once.

Stopped by for a drink at 8pm on a Friday. It was a pretty quiet and comfortable night. Attentive service. Lovely setting and abgentle evening ambiance. Several heaters were outside, Barton and tower heaters. Crispy popcorn cauliflower was right on! Closest restaurant to the pier and along the boardwalk.

Good cocktails, good food and great service with an awesome view of the beach.
This is one of our favorite places to go and share small plates while enjoying craft cocktails.
We rarely have to wait for a table but that’s because we usually opt to sit inside.

This place will blow you away. The eclectic music, the menu, friendly staff and cool atmosphere make this a fun place to visit. So fun I had to go back the next day and pop some more bottles. Sadly, I remember one name….Chloe, but everyone here made me feel at home. No rude comments about my dog. And joked and talked to you when appropriate. Definitely coming back…..keep the rose cold yall.

Was out walking the area and Vista caught our eye with the live outdoor music and fire pits so we stopped in for a drink.
The atmosphere was awesome sitting around the fire pits, laughing, and receiving top notch service. With the beach and ocean right there, can’t be beat. Highly recommend stopping in.
