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.

Found this quaint little restaurant in Manhattan Beach today. The atmosphere is a mix of elegant and casual that blends very well. With amazing sunset views of Manhattan Beach and great food, you can’t go wrong. We started off with the shrimp cocktail which did not disappoint. For our main course, we both had the Chilean Sea Bass and it was absolutely amazing. The bass was cooked to perfection and was served with a warm cream sauce with fennel that complemented the fish well. We finished off with the THS donuts for desert based on a recommendation and WOW, they were great. Our server Kenny was amazing. He made excellent recommendations and was always available when we needed him. Kenny has a great personality and we enjoyed having him as our waiter. We will definitely return the next time we are in town.

We celebrated the New Year with a beautiful lunch at the strand house. The elevator was super helpful for my parents to get them up to the third floor. We had an amazing view and a wonderful time. The food was really great and the service was outstanding.

Parking is always a challenge for any restaurant adjacent to the ocean. The view from the second floor is amazing. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Able to modify entrees for personal taste. Started with the hugh and delicious cinnamon roll to share. Multiple options for Eggs Benedict. Portions were large enough for take home leftovers. Cost is pricey, but the amount of food and the amazing view provides sufficient value.
