Best Gastro Pubs in San Pedro

I visit Nelson’s every time I’m in town from Mpls. Love this place!

I have been there three times like in a month and I really wanted to take my husband on date night and we had a great time! The other two times I went with girlfriends and enjoyed myself too. Great food great service.

First to get there and loved the food and ambience it’s our 3rd time there this is our favorite location

This is our go to place for weekend brunch when we have friends or family visiting (who have we have never visited us in Manhattan Beach specifically, because we lived on the North side of the Bay for a long time) or we just want to treat ourselves. THIS particular weekend my husband told me it was a surprise who was meeting us, and he told me this when I told up at like 10am on THE morning of brunch! Of course, he just wanted to take me out to brunch but knew I would argue against spending money when, (him later quoting hat he thought I would say if I knew he was just taking me out) “I can make pretty much everything on that menu if I can run to the store! And he wasn’t wrong. So I guess when I was in the shower he opened my phone (which we both have free access to each others phones any time, no explanation needed, so this is fine) and searched for and opened the OpenTable App, since he had seen me use it to make brunch reservations with you guys in the past. Hence why he made it for 2 people… not for 5, which would have been us & the 3 friends he said were coming. I of course saw the text notification & was like, I didn’t make this reservation, he must just not know how to use the App! So his total lack of knowledge of how to use the App didn’t throw me off in ANY way LOL. So we get there, and surprise surprise - Brunch for 2! But we get there, we’re seated and he had one of his best buddies who lives a few blocks north of Manhattan beach Blvd show up with my order from Starbucks & a bouquet of flowers from my FAVORITE MB florist that he had ordered while I was in the shower. Best brunch @ THE BEST brunch spot in ES/MB/HB!!

We were celebrating my daughter’s graduation. Had a great time with lobster rolls and steamer combos. Best mussels i can remember having! There was a mix-up on the champagne, but they replaced the bottle with the right one even though we had already poured much of it before we tried it. Out waitress was very sweet and charming.
