Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Hawthorne / Gardena

We had the best lunch today! The service was friendly, accommodating, and prompt, even during a busy rush. We were seated right away for our reservation, and our server quickly greeted us and took our order. Drinks and food arrived timely, which was perfect for our lunch meeting, allowing us to finish within an hour. I had the yellowfin tuna salad and really enjoyed it - it was tasty and impeccably presented. The staff were very friendly and attentive from the moment we entered the restaurant to when we left. An all around 5 star experience!

Free Self parking and valet parking available. Seated on time of reservation. Table service was incredible-multiple staff attended to our table. Bread with flavored butter at no cost. Had the Tuesday fixed menu for two that included two salads, two steaks, two sides and two desserts-a great value. Every food item was very tasty and portions were large enough for take home leftovers.

Food was and usually is good. Pepito was our chef. He knows what he's doing on that grill

Overall experience was fantastic. There was a little hiccup when one of the servers accidentally took our sign that indicated what entrée we were having, and the servers kept walking by us without serving my husband any of the entrée that he selected. However, once we brought it to their attention, they fixed it, and they began to serve him endless supplies of meat for the rest of the night. Food and ambience was fantastic.

We brought two new guests with us and they enjoyed the atmosphere. Busy but not too loud. The chicken salad was a favorite. Our waitress was excellent. The food came out quickly from the kitchen.
