Best American Restaurants in Rancho Palos Verdes / Rolling Hills Estates

Gorgeous setting. Great service. Delicious, well-appointed seafood buffet that contains much more than that that - mouth-watering charcuterie including delicious salads and pickled veg, carving stations with prime rib, leg of lamb, tomahawk steak, turkey, salmon, sushi, and scrumptious gelato. Wines are outstanding as well, and serves were wonderful with our tired and cold 3-year old - bringing her a blanket and extra heaters. Lovely experience and would have expected to pay much more for the Friday night buffet.

My family  and I had reservations at Café Pacific at the Trump Los Angeles golf course. We  were celebrating my dad’s birthday and it was so amazing! The  ambience was beautiful with a nice warm roaring fire, and the waiter and waitresses were so attentive and discreet, and we all mentioned that how wonderful it was. The dinner  was impeccable and delicious.!  Jennifer our waitress even brought out a dessert to celebrate my dad‘s birthday!  We all had a great experience there and highly recommend this restaurant for a family celebration!!

We had a fabulous experience as a group of 4 adults and 4 kids. We made our reservation via OpenTable the night before and had no difficulties securing a table for our larger group. I got a text saying that our table was ready and was able to easily communicate ahead of time. We arrived at the resort and were promptly offered a shuttle ride down to the restaurant (as I was on crutches). The shuttle driver even ran inside to snag 2 stuffed whales to give to my young kids. Very thoughtful. We arrived at the restaurant and had wonderful service from Tabitha—-everything from soft blankets to portable heaters. And then the sun came out blazing halfway through our meal and I overheard her offering a nearby table her own personal sunscreen because she overheard them talking about how they were unprepared for the sun and were concerned about exposure. I thought that extra touch was so thoughtful. I don’t even need to waste my space on talking about the view. It’s unbeatable. You won’t find a better view in any other restaurant ever. Period. You can even hear the waves crashing. If you sit on the west patio you will be treated to 180 degree water views that include the Point Vicente lighthouse as well. Food standouts: the hot lobster roll was perfect! Chips and guacamole excellent (and I don’t even usually like guacamole). Shrimp Cobb salad. Burger. Poke bowl. And the kids were all thrilled about their chicken tenders. Enough that they even asked to eat their leftovers the next day—which they usually aren’t willing to do. After lunch our group took a lovely stroll down the ocean path. Because I was on crutches I planted myself on a bench at the top while the rest of my group continued on and everyone was treated to outstanding—we were even lucky enough to see seals frolicking nearby. Because our validation got us $10 parking for the day, we could have explored for as long as we wanted. The path goes all the way to the lighthouse!

The food was good and portions were just right. My husband's steak could have been a little more rare. I enjoyed the albacore. We shared the scalloped potatoes and brussel sprouts which were delicious. Great service as well

We are a group of African American Men (10 +) that have been knowing one another over 40yrs. We meet for dinner for our bdays. Rockefeller's is our first SouthBay experience and it was a very good choice. We were greeted by our waiter, I'm bad with names so......he was a very patient and kind man. He took care of our party of 11 by himself. The food was great, drinks ok and yhe whole night was a huge success. We will be back sometime doing the incoming year. Thank you Rockefeller!
