    Open-air restaurant on a metered parking street. Food was good, waiter service excellent. But I took two stars off the top because one of the 20-something staff here cut me off in the street when both of us were trying to access the same parking space in front of the restaurant. That person got the space; I (an elderly person) had to park by the pier and walk uphill to the restaurant, no easy task for me. Because I was meeting a friend here, I stayed; otherwise I would have found someplace else to eat. I won’t be back, though, based solely on that employee’s inconsiderate action.

    Hook & Plow is one of my regular spots in Manhattan Beach. It is bright and airy with modern design touch. It is prefect for sunny days as it gives and outdoor feel but you have full shade from the sun and on cooler days the heaters and fire pits make it super cozy. The fish tacos and clam chowder are must haves on the menu .

    Love the experience. Service and food are great. Can’t wait to come back and enjoy the ceviche and crudo and everything else. Furikake fries are heaven.

    Good was really good but it was very loud. I would suggest some cork on the ceiling and some rugs or some noise reducing mechanism.
