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.

    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.

    Well here’s a bunch of unnecessary ratings and horrible punctuation.. We got the tomahawk steak @$185 and it was ok 5/10. Truffle Pizza 5/10 it’s all cheese and truffle… some pancetta, mushrooms, and one or two less cheeses would’ve brought up the number. The dough was fresh and light, very good. I had a couple of the craft cocktails and they were perfectly made! 10/10! Desserts are amazing 10/10!! Chocolate cake, doughnuts, and cheesecake all super tasty! View is amazing, service was perfect, and all of the staff were very pleasant and attentive. We will be back to try more dishes!

    The food, specifically the whole snapper, shrimp cocktail, yellowtail crudo were outstanding, as well as the ambience. You can’t beat the ocean sunset view outside their large picturesque window. Also, the hostess was kind enough to honor our request to sit at a table by the window (highly recommend!) I’m docking a star because desserts were just ok, the tiramisu texture felt off from other tiramisu we’ve had, and the donuts were warm and fresh like Sidecar albeit smaller, but nothing to shout home about.

    The food was very tasty however the service was lackluster. The waiter was very lost and barely checked on us. We had the bus boy get our waiter several times. No attention to detail and very inappropriate over the table reaching. I would not recommend and will not be returning.
