Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Redondo Beach

A must try if you're in manhattan beach! The food was great, but the service was incredible. Our server Jason Balasbas was so attentive and courteous. His recommendations made all the difference in making dinner exceptional. I highly recommend.

Always a great experience. Food was excellent. Just wished they had a little bit more of a selection.

We dined at mar’sel tonight to celebrate my wife’s birthday. As always, the service was amazing. We decided to sit outside and it was a little chilly. They offered us blankets as the heaters warmed up. Such a nice touch. We ordered the special filet and ribeye along with the seabass. My daughter had the kids’ filet mignon. Everything was cooked beautifully. The service alone is reason enough to love Mar’sel. Add on the exquisitely prepared food and it has quickly become our go-to for special occasions.

I've been meaning to come to this restaurant since it opened a couple of decades ago. The big surprise was the view. Where you expect to be looking out to open water you instead look across a large concrete expanse of the horseshoe pier. There are water views of the inside area of that pier. The other surprise is how large the restaurant is. There was a birthday party of 20 when we were there and the place didn't seem full at all. Service was relaxed, friendly and attentive. The prices are average for high end seafood and steaks. They do have a $49 prix fixe that one of our group ordered and very much liked. Both the clam chowder and lobster bisque were superb, as was the salmon. And excellent complimentary hot bread, a rarity these days. As we were celebrating two birthdays, 2 complimentary creme brulees showed up at the end. All in all, a very pleasant experience.
