About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Hot spot

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.

If you want to have a quiet and/or personal conversation, go elsewhere. Food and service is very good, but noise level detracts from the overall experience.

Service was spot on. Waiter and staff attentive. The eggs benedict for the price could have a whole English muffin instead of a quarter piece under each. Expensive for what you get.

The food and ambience were great! However, many wait staff and managers were just standing around and tables, ours included, waited for long periods of time for drinks or for someone to approach. Bring your patience.

Beautiful views are complimented by delicious food and just right service. We sat outside. It was a foggy morning but they brought blankets and it was just fine. Artichoke and lemon pizza, fresh iced tea and doughnuts for dessert. SO GOOD!
