I went for a solo dinner at Manhattan Beach Post and had a great experience. I started with the garlic herbed pretzel bread — a bit too spicy for my taste, but still good. The grilled Caledonian prawns were absolutely delicious, truly the highlight of the night. The bread with the chile butter and aioli was amazing as well.

The vibe at the bar was really nice, and the bartender Bree and Lucas was super friendly. She even made me two delicious mocktails that weren’t on the menu. Great food, great service — I’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely standout experience from start to finish. Excellent charcuterie selection, the skirt steak was cooked to perfection. Our waiter Carter took it to the next level when he realized we were lactose-intolerant, but their dessert menu had dairy on everything, so he went around the block and got us a vegan ice cream on the house!! Truly an unforgettable evening.

We love Manhattan Beach Post! It’s our go-to spot for all our special occasions (and the random happy hour) for the food, atmosphere, and exceptional service. The food is consistently amazing, well-portioned, and interesting. More so, the service always fantastic. We just celebrated my birthday, and were gifted a free dessert. Thanks to the team… and we’ll be back again soon!

MB Post didn’t just roll out a fall menu — they dropped a culinary mixtape that hits harder than a Thanksgiving food coma and tastes so good your mama might get slapped twice. Every dish feels like Chef David LeFevre raided autumn’s pantry, flexed his technique, and said, “Watch this.”

Here’s the play-by-play of the heavy hitters:

⸻ Lobster Risotto — 5/5 Slaps (the good kind)

Creamy, buttery, perfectly al dente risotto crowned with sweet, luxe chunks of lobster. This wasn’t risotto — this was therapy. The depth of flavor? Nearly illegal. The kind of dish you pause after each bite just to admire what’s happening in your mouth.
Certified Slap Ya Mama Good.

⸻ Chilean Seabass Special — Fall’s MVP

The seabass came out melting like it forgot how to have structure — silky, delicate, rich without being heavy. Paired with autumn aromatics and just the right hit of acidity, it was a “stop-talking-to-me-I’m-eating” moment. A masterclass in balance.

⸻ New Scallop Setup with Fall Carrots — Fall on a Plate

Perfectly caramelized scallops with that sear you dream about. The fall carrot setup brings this earthy-sweet backbone that ties the plate together like an orchestra warming up in harmony. Elegant, seasonal, and straight-up addictive.
Slap-worthy elegance.

⸻ Slow-Cooked Short Rib Special — A Hug in Entrée Form

This short rib didn’t “fall off the bone” — the bone probably fell off it. Deep, rich, slow-cooked perfection with a sauce so glossy it could double as a luxury car finish. Cozy, comforting, and absolutely savage in flavor.
A double-slappin’ soul-warmer.

⸻ Lobster Pot Pie — Sheer Culinary Disrespect

This is the dish you tell your therapist about because it awakened something in you. Flaky golden pastry hiding a steaming cauldron of lobster decadence — creamy, rich, loaded, and ridiculously generous.
You don’t slap your mama after eating this.
You call her and apologize for every bad thing you ever did.

⸻ Caramel Apple Cheesecake — Fall’s Crown Jewel

Imagine the best caramel apple you’ve ever had… now imagine it became a cheesecake and joined the Navy SEALs. Silky texture, warming spices, lush caramel, and tart apple cutting through the richness. Autumn in dessert form.
Certified 10-finger lick, knock-the-chair-over good.

⸻ Final Verdict

MB Post’s fall menu isn’t just good — it’s dangerously good.
It’s the kind of menu that makes you consider ordering round two just to relive the moment.
A seasonal knockout from top to bottom.

Five of Five Slaps
Slap Ya Mama Certified.
Book a table, wear stretchy pants, and thank me later

To be clear, my dinner and overall experience was great and I would definitely come again.

We did find a hair in our food which kind of threw us off our appetite a little bit, but the servers were incredibly apologetic and helpful in getting us an alternative meal very swiftly.

I want to recognize the staff at this wonderful restaurant. We attended a baptism celebration at this restaurant last Sunday and my wife accidentally left her purse. We live in San Diego and did not notice we were missing the purse until we were back in San Diego. We drove back the next day and they graciously let us go into the restaurant early to retrieve the purse. They were life savers! We want to thank them for taking care of our belongings. We really love the food and the attentive staff & manager!

Love the atmosphere of this place! We came here for brunch after the beach with a planned reservation. The waitstaff was really friendly and nice. We started out with a Bloody Mary. Super flavorful but a bit salty for my taste. The Cheddar Biscuits are super delish here! One of their most popular and must try. The Steak and Eggs were cooked well and full of flavor. The burrito was very filling but found the white rice to be a bit too plain. The Pecan Sticky Buns was a great way to end. Not overly decadent but hit the sweet tooth.

Here is the review of this place.

1- Decoration 10/10: a nice style, modern with a little touch French, Spain

2- Ambiance 10/10: The ambiance was fantastic. There were a lot of people at the bar. Everybody was having fun.The music was not too loud.

3- service 10/10: The service was perfect from the host to the waiters and crew. Everybody was very polite and kind, some even spoke different languages.

4-food 10/10: The food was amazing. It doesn’t have a michelin star for nothing.Chef, is very good.

5- cleanest 10/10: i was very surprised at how clean it was and at the same time. That’s how it should be. It shouldn’t smell. There’s nothing worse that, after having a very good dinner and going to the bathroom and it smells, but here it’s not the case, congrats to the staff of the bathroom.

Don’t go there if you’re hungry.
Extremely small portions.
Taste was okay except the sauce on skirt steak didn’t blend w steak.
Literally, 2 stalks of asparagus underneath steak.
Halibut was acceptable. But portion was not worth the price.
We ordered bread and although it did come hot was only 1 piece for 3 persons served in a bag?
Service was excellent. Very nice staff
Ambiance wonderful
Booths nice. Other chairs uncomfortable in dining area
