Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Hawthorne / Gardena

We had a wonderful experience. Great food and outstanding service. Our server Fabi was so attentive and made sure we were very satisfied.

The perfect Christmas Eve... FLEMINGS in El Segundo. No matter how busy, and the place was filled, it was perfect. The service and the food are always perfect. The salad, steak, sea bass, the mushrooms, mac & cheese, the loaded baked potato.... everything was delicious! Thanks for a memorable holiday dinner. See you in 2025!

Awesome experience as usual. Our server Lee was on point and never missed a beat. The food was excellent. I live in Sherman Oaks and never mind driving to this location.🥰

We asked for the Teppan Communal Seating because this was the first time for some of our co-workers. Our server, Dega, was great and very attentive. Our Chef, Jacob, was entertaining and very personable. Great value for the lunch options that were available.

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and when we first walking into the building it was really cool and nice getting to look at the cars, the little shop, and cafe. I also now see why the wait to land a reservation here is pretty long because walking in, it did not feel packed or too chaotic. I’m a very anxious person and get uncomfortable whenever I’m at a setting where there’s a lot of people so this was extremely nice for me. Now, for the restaurant, I’m a pretty picky eater so not much stood out to me on the menu other than the classic 917 burger which happened to be delicious along with the side of fries that it came with. The bill for me and my partner didn’t come out to a lot or what I was expecting but I mean we did only have the burgers and no alcoholic drinks. Overall really nice and calm place, I felt comfortable and like I could talk to my boyfriend freely and admire the cars together. The service was also really good! I loved everything and my boyfriend enjoyed it a lot as well.
