   It was around 55 degrees out and they had the garage doors all open, so the place was quite cold. We asked if they could close it & they just said they would turn up the heat which didn’t really help. Everyone in the place had their jackets on. The food for our group all came out at different times, 5-10 minutes apart. Some of the food was good, while others were overcooked. They do have a nice draft beer selection & the server was very nice.

   Wow! I can’t say enough good things about this place. We needed this place in the Riviera. In the Month of October they are celebrating their one year anniversary, so there are a lot of fun creative specials going on the entire month. Perfect chance to find and taste all their delicious high-grade food. The service is top-notch and the ambience perfection! I love that this is a local family that owns it. The community is really starting to rally around this gem discovering the phenomenal food and great service!

   What a delicious find in our area of the Riviera Village. Nice ambience, staff and good energy. Max was an attentive and helpful server. The oysters were fresh and tasty with sauces and mignonette. Tasty selections to share in their very creative menu which had us already to return to explore. Nice selection of wines and craft beers. Finley Pinot was a bit sweet, but the Cabernet was very good. Opting to try their Carving Board with a choice of two proteins ~ we had delicious lamb chops in a harissa yogurt and skirt steak with chimichurri broiled perfectly. Their crispy truffle parm potatoes were a highlight ~ a very creative take on Hasselback with incredibly thin perfectly crispy slices. We subbed veggies to try their house salad with green goddess dressing (a rarity these days). Espresso machine wasn’t working so the affogato will have to wait for another time. We were very impressed with the quality and creativity of this new addition to our Redondo Beach area.

   Love the causal, unpretentious atmosphere and their delicious food. Their beer selection was on point too!

   Excellent service but the noise level with the loud music because it a small place inside was kinda loud.

   First time here. Nice open air restaurant on a warm day. Food was decent but a little pricey as are all places these days. May or may not go a second time.
