Best Seasonal Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

We had a really great dinner Christmas Eve. We started with the baked oysters, the bread and sample apps. The oysters were cooked perfectly and the stiffing was tasty and added texture. The shrimp and oysters on the half shell were fresh and cold.the bread was warm and just enough. Out mains included a filet, beef stroganoff and scallops. Each dish was cooked as ordered. Of note was the stroganoff, which had a touch of spicy heat what was a pleasant surprise. Our server Jose was excellent, as were the cocktails and wine. Lastly, the Christmas decorations were simple and quite beautiful. We all had a great night! We will go back again (this was our second visit).

The table next to us had children banging spoons into their glasses. They were unsettled and vocal throughout the meal. It was a festive atmosphere, but it was difficult to focus on my husband's conversation with the banging from the next table. The food was delicious. The service was great. My husband enjoyed his cocktail. Making our reservation was easy. The Christmas carolers were a nice touch for the holidays.

What an amazing Christmas Lunch!! As always, the drinks were amazing, the food incredible and the service excellent. We absolutely love this place! The Holiday menu items were killer as well. Always super highly recommended! PS: Sal our server made me a special drink which I loved. Great place!!!

The food was very good, especially the salads. The wait staff was very attentive and service was prompt. The noise level was higher than we like, but we could hear each other without shouting.

Absolutely loved the ambience at Arthur J. The food was amazing, the Japanese Wagyu was outstanding. The service is absolutely top notch! Highly recommend.
