Best Restaurants for Groups in Manhattan Beach

Second time eating at Esperanza and food and service outstanding on both times! Super fresh cevices, very flavorful dishes, highly recommend the salmon and filet mignon fajitas but you can’t wrong, they are all good. Not to mention the delicious tortillas and churros or a flan for dessert. They also have a variety of margaritas, mojitos and amazing cocktails to choose from. Fun environment and attentive service. Highly recommend!

The table next to us had children banging spoons into their glasses. They were unsettled and vocal throughout the meal. It was a festive atmosphere, but it was difficult to focus on my husband's conversation with the banging from the next table. The food was delicious. The service was great. My husband enjoyed his cocktail. Making our reservation was easy. The Christmas carolers were a nice touch for the holidays.

I brought my kids who were home for the holidays, and everything was excellent from top to bottom - from the receptionist patiently working her magic to accommodate our changed schedule, to the wait staff ensuring we were taken care of, to the owner/chef checking in on us to ensure our experience and cuisine was up to snuff. It was and then some- it was exceptional. The martinis, shrimp cocktail, and squash blossoms were perfect ways to start the evening, followed by the lamb, sole, and Caesar salad with steak. It was a lively atmosphere and we enjoyed running into other families we knew. A special night at a special place :)

All staff was lovely and very friendly. I dined alone and was checked on periodically. The food was superb. I’d highly recommend

Absolutely loved the ambience at Arthur J. The food was amazing, the Japanese Wagyu was outstanding. The service is absolutely top notch! Highly recommend.
