    Located in The Riviera Village in Redondo Beach, this restaurant offered access and sufficient parking. The open beam design gave a sense of roominess and welcome. The interior was clean and tidy. The welcome at the front desk was friendly and warm. Our server Daniel was polite, helpful and attentive. The food was delicious and the selections were creative and ample. A real neighborhood gem. Highly recommend. We will be back.

    Honey fish and bottom salad was very salty. Calamari was only 8 pcs. Not worth it.
