Does anybody have any suggestions for a nice restaurant in the Manhattan Beach area?

Question

I'm going to LA in a few weeks and I was wondering if anybody had some good ideas for places to eat. I'd love to go somewhere a little more posh and upscale.

Answer 1

With beach cities almost every place is casual, even if you are paying $35 for a steak. Feel free to dress up if you want to though.

Second Story Restaurant in the Belamar Hotel has good food and a cool setting.

3501 Sepulveda Blvd

Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Hermosa Beach, which is next to Manhattan Beach, has a nice place called Jacksons Village Bistro.

517 Pier Avenue

Hermosa Beach CA 90503

Answer 2

Although Manhattan Beach is a haven of luxury, the beach cities are pretty laid back so "posh and upscale" has to be taken into context.

I recommend Salt Creek Grille, which is in El Segundo in a shopping center but despite that is a really nice place to eat.  Have the chocolate mousse, even though you have to pre-order it at the beginning of the meal.

Kincaids in Redondo Beach is on the pier and has wonderful views at sunset.  The seafood is fresh and delicious.
