Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

Great spot, amazing view and good service! Love it

Food is consistently good, service is excellent, good vibes, wonderful local home away from home dinner on Christmas Eve.

We had a really great dinner Christmas Eve. We started with the baked oysters, the bread and sample apps. The oysters were cooked perfectly and the stiffing was tasty and added texture. The shrimp and oysters on the half shell were fresh and cold.the bread was warm and just enough. Out mains included a filet, beef stroganoff and scallops. Each dish was cooked as ordered. Of note was the stroganoff, which had a touch of spicy heat what was a pleasant surprise. Our server Jose was excellent, as were the cocktails and wine. Lastly, the Christmas decorations were simple and quite beautiful. We all had a great night! We will go back again (this was our second visit).

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.

Had a reservation at 7pm that I booked the day of with my girlfriend. We arrived at 645 and a sweet young hostess had our table ready and sat us immediately. Upon walking in, we both noticed how inviting and vibrant the energy in the room was, the atmosphere here on a Saturday night is awesome. I ordered the baguette immediately just to get something on the table. It was soo freshly baked it was unbelievable. Our server Tess suggested some of the wines from the Slay vineyard so I had a pilot noir and my girlfriend a vermentino. She loved the vermentino and went on a google rabbit hole to research this grape varietal which was new to us. I got a steak cooked medium rare it was excellent she had the mussels to complement her wine choice and was very happy. Dessert was a chocolate flour less cake (gluten free). It was a damn good way to finish the meal and went well with my pinot. All in all atmosphere was cozy and alive feeling, food was really good, our server Tess was very friendly and her suggestions were greatly appreciated. Fete is a must try if in Manhattan Beach looking for a new experience. Nice job Fete!
