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.

    Loved the view even on a cloudy day. Front desk very attentive and polite. Crab cake appetizer was very good. Lots of crab eat and not oily. Asked the waiter for a recommendation between the chicken sandwich and the short rib sandwiches. He recommended the chicken but wish it was explained it was breaded as I’m not a fan of fried and breaded chicken. Brussel sprout sides were seasoned and cooked well. Salad with jicama and side shrimp was lacking flavor and ingredients. It was mostly butternut lettuce and the shrimp was served cold. I thought it was grilled and warm. Amazing hot brown sugar latte and homemade donuts. Total cost…No cocktails, just water, appetizers, 2 meals, latte and donuts…$136. I left a bit hungry and wonder if my guest did too. I would come back for appetizers, cocktails to enjoy the view, hit latte and the caramel/vanilla donuts.

    The atmosphere was stunning, highlighted by the picturesque ocean view. The wait staff were prompt and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. The food was not only flavorful but also beautifully presented. We began with the small charcuterie board, followed by the branzino sea bass, steak frites, and finished with the delightful gingerbread tiramisu. The only downsides were the close proximity of the seating and the high noise level in the restaurant.
