Service: 5/5 – we arrived just after 10:00 as they were still setting up. Once ready, they immediately greeted us and let us pick any seat that we preferred. He gave us his full attention with no urgency so we were able to just enjoy our meal and chat.
Ambiance: 5/5 – we sat outside on a beautiful Saturday morning with some holiday decorations. It was quiet, so it was easy to have a conversation!
Value for price: 3/5 – great atmosphere so it was the perfect place to hang out and catch up. Unfortunately, not the best meal at $20+ per dish for some smoked salmon tossed on potatoes.
Street metered parking, good weather to walk!
We visited on a vibrant Friday evening and were lucky to snag an outdoor table with heating, thanks to our wonderful server. She even brought our dog a grilled chicken treat, which was such a thoughtful touch!
The menu, while concise, offers a well-curated selection of dishes. We started with the burrata salad, which featured fresh arugula and a hint of vinaigrette—a perfect balance of creaminess and zest. For our main, we had the short ribs, served with smooth mashed potatoes. The flavor was outstanding, though the short ribs could have been slightly more tender.
The Redondo Riviera’s lively ambiance added to the experience, making it an enjoyable evening of good food and a great setting. Hook & Plow is a solid choice for casual fine dining with a local, seasonal twist. We’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu as the seasons change!
By this time it was well over an hour of waiting and my boyfriend was over it so he asked for the check. When the waitress never came back I asked the hostess to help us. The waitress Stefanie V. finally came over and gave us the check, which had the main dishes Jidori chicken and Seabass that we never received.
We called this out and the waitress reason for us not receiving our food was because the ticket for our food was nowhere to be found in their kitchen. As a server it’s her responsibility to check that the flow of food and service is going well.
After pushing back she took the main dishes off our bill.
This was a disappointing experience to have a waitress who gave lack luster service and on what was such an important day to us. The whole ordeal took almost two hours, we left frustrated and still hungry. We will never go back to this restaurant again.
It was a Sunday and we decided to try The Hook and Plow for lunch. A table inside was available. They had a DJ outside and it was a bit too loud to have a conversation, so we opted for inside.
Our server was attentive and friendly. Our food was excellent. Fresh. I had a salad. My husband had a burger.
Other than the loud music, which made us have to use our outside voices inside, it got hot. No air-conditioning. It’s a small dining area, which made it feel intimate.
We enjoyed our lunch but couldn’t linger any longer. Too warm.
Would we go back? Probably not. The food and service was wonderful but the atmosphere wasn’t conducive to conversation.
Note on the price per person – while we spend about $50pp, it’s generally because we get the seafood platter (for 2 ppl) or tower (for 4 ppl), plus a mimosa or bottle of bubbly… Anyway, a meal here can be as cheap as $25pp.
I’ve been here many times and never disappointed.
Today I was disappointed.
We waited forever for our food. Our waiter barely checked on us. A different (rude) waitress tried to give another table our food, we were right there – she took the food back to the kitchen. By the time our waiter brought our food, my burratta salad was soggy, the steak was cold, barely any balsamic, etc. My friend’s ahi sandwich was served on extremely greasy bread.
She’s definitely not coming back, I will give them a chance to redeem themselves. I’ve always loved their food.
I knew there will be some wait but I was expecting our drinks delivered first while we waited but nope. 43 minutes later, food came.
Salad was ok..at least got my omega 3.
But..where our drinks?
Our server came by like 20 minutes later asking if anything is ok..told him we need our drinks.
He apologized and came back with drinks.
Check came and they didn’t charge the coffee because they forgot about it but they charge my sprite which they shouldn’t charge also.
