Manhattan Beach at its finest. Great view of the water. Service is attentive. Drinks are 5* expect a nice bill for 4. $$$$. PEI Oysters a must if you love them.

Did not eat there but went to Manhattan Beach to go there. But had a change of mind wanted a different cuisine. Beautiful place, great view of the sunset, right on the beach. You will enjoy it. Safe did not see a lot of homeless people down on the beach. Oh, really?

The Baseline: For a sit down upper-scale restaurant is the quality of the food, existence of any unique offerings, quality of the service, and ambiance of the overall dining experience.
December 2025:
Food: The Hand Cut Frites is still my favorite. It is my appetizer and we always order them.
Service: Great service for the night. My water glass was kept full.
Ambiance: Great restaurant that was overlooking the beach and we had a great corner table to see the strand and the pier.
September 2025:
Food: The Hand Cut Frites are my favorite thing to get here consistently which are fried in beef tallow and taste like awesome in physical form. Yes. This. Also steak, with the Dry aged ribeye which was cooked to other people’s preference (aka not medium rare) but even with that extra level of cook on the meat it was tender and the flavor of the meat shined through. I ended up liking it better than the Beef short rib which was still incredible and tender. The crab cakes were also good for a starter. The donuts were okay, but only because I feel my go to donut shops are the better donut.
Service: Great service for the night we were there and our waiter was attentive/engaging. Lots of check ins and water was kept full. We felt well taken care of and worth a +20% tip to our waiter.
Ambiance: The Strand House is a gem of a location in Manhattan Beach adjacent to the pier. The openness of the dining area with the outside breezes came into the restaurant with a nice low lighting to make it fell comfortable. This is a higher class dining experience and it is worth it for the experience.

A nicely decorated restaurant/bar with great views facing the ocean. The food is good but options are somehow limited. The service is good and the location is amazing. Highly recommended.

So here is my review about this place
1- decoration 10/10 : very nice decorated, modern and nothing beats the ocean view and the peer in front.
2- ambiance 10/10 : so I was surprised about the ambience.It’s always plenty of people and you have different sections.If you want to have business or birthday or just a little bit of privacy.
3- service 10/10: the service was amazing.Our waiter worked there for thirteen years.And he was good explaining all the details about the menu.He even made me try a signature cocktail .
4- food 10/10: so the food was very good from appetizers to the main dish to the sides.We just didn’t have room for dessert that it looked awesome. Next time.
5- cleanest 10/10: now this restaurant was very clean from top to bottom.Even the bathrooms were very clean and didn’t smell awful.
I truly recommend this please.If you want, have a date or for an anniversary marriage or just for a good evening. Look at the pictures.

Only got desert here. Pumpkin cheese cake was great and fairly priced given location and resturant type. Was shocked about the price of sparkling water. (But live and learn, my fault for not asking) Great view of the pier!

I went to the Strand House with my wife and two kids on Labor Day weekend. We were looking for a place close to the beach with half-way decent food. As many of you know, if it has a view, the food doesn’t have to be good. With that in mind, we had little to no expectations for both the food and service. It was all about the beach for us. We were pleasantly surprised to find both excellent service and great food.
We were there for brunch so I can’t speak for dinner. I had the fried chicken and waffles which is usually hard to do well. Most places usually screw up one of the two. The chicken is usually too dry or greasy or the waffle is hard and dry. The strand House nailed both. The service was also surprisingly good. Everyone was attentive and polite and obviously took pride in provide great service – something hard to find nowadays.
We are definitely coming back. And yes, the views were amazing!

I honestly can’t believe this is the first time I’m writing a review for The Strand House — I’ve been here several, several times! It’s one of those places that never disappoints.
Usually, I come for brunch, but this time it was a later lunch that still featured the brunch menu (thankfully!). I ordered the chicken and waffles, and they were absolutely amazing — perfectly crispy, tender, and full of flavor. I paired it with the Woodsman cocktail, which was smooth, balanced, and just the right amount of boozy warmth.
My parents were just as happy — my dad couldn’t stop talking about how much he loved his lemon drop, and my mom was fully satisfied with her meal. From the ocean view to the service to the food and drinks, it was 5 out of 5 across the board.
If I could give it more stars, I absolutely would. The Strand House is a Manhattan Beach classic for a reason!

GET THE CINNAMON ROLL TO SHARE! For about $17 you’ll get a massive cinnamon roll that’s super delicious and a great way to start brunch. It’s fluffy and comes with a decadent caramel sauce that is super buttery! Great beachside restaurant that has wonderful views overlooking the Pacific Ocean while serving some really good food! The burger was really good too and would recommend along with the Huevos Rancheros. Great atmosphere and would recommend making reservations for the weekend as it does get busy. Service was good for how busy it was.

A very nice place with very good food. We’ve been very well served and had a great evening. Thanks for all, we appreciated the attention.
I strongly recommend.
Don’t arrive too late if you want to enjoy the sunset during the dinner.
