About this restaurant

Good for groups
Great for creative cocktails
Great for happy hour

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.

I know this is LA, but over $350 for two people having only 4 glasses of house wine, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees (and not the most expensive items) and 2 cups of bad coffee is ridiculous.

Went with family in town. Our server wasn’t the best, no personality. The view was amazing! Half of our party enjoyed their meal they other half not so much. The martini’s very also not up to par.

Lovely as always. Perfect service. Food was good. Except vegan pasta dish had a sauce that upset my stomach. Didn’t know it would have sauce. The salmon my friend had was good.

Looked forward for a nice birthday dinner. Expected a good restaurant with a nice view. Searched 20-25 minutes for a parking lot. The restaurant was overcrowded and so damn loud that we had to shout to understand each other. We waited nearly 90 minutes for noodles. Sorry but never again !
