About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Hot spot

The Strand House is a sophisticated yet comfortable family-owned restaurant conceived by a small group of South Bay families out of their love for great food, wine and friends. With floor to ceiling glass windows and 180° sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, world travelers and locals alike may come for the view, but stay for Chef Chris Park’s Coastal California Cuisine.

Our menu highlights the bounty of produce available year round in Southern California. Each week, our chefs roam the farmers market sourcing directly from the best farmers and purveyors around. The Strand House is also home to a thoughtful and carefully crafted cocktail and wine program that is sure to please each of our guests.

We are located in beautiful downtown Manhattan Beach, just steps from the famous Manhattan Beach Pier. The Strand House offers a five-star experience with the warmth and hospitality you would expect from a beach town, where each guest is treated like family.

Celebrated my anniversary at The Strand House and enjoyed both the ambiance and the food. This is the first carajillo I try in a while and it’s pretty tasty. We had the baked scallops, the dover sole and the wood fire cauliflower and it was a 100/10. Can’t miss the TSH glazed donuts! Would definitely come back, Kristen’s service great!

If you want to have a quiet and/or personal conversation, go elsewhere. Food and service is very good, but noise level detracts from the overall experience.

Service was spot on. Waiter and staff attentive. The eggs benedict for the price could have a whole English muffin instead of a quarter piece under each. Expensive for what you get.

People at window seats will linger for hours to get the sunset. Chicken was okay. Not worth the money. Overall, the restaurant is stunning

The food and ambience were great! However, many wait staff and managers were just standing around and tables, ours included, waited for long periods of time for drinks or for someone to approach. Bring your patience.
