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.

    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.

    It has been several years since my last reservation at the Strand House and this visit did not disappoint. The Thai coconut Barramundi was excellent.

    Overall, a nice place for brunch. Lots of construction going on outside restaurant, so it was noisy at 1st seating. A table opened up as we were seated and we’re able to move. It was much more quieter.

    Food was awesome. You can tell the chef really cares about the ingredients and the combinations of flavors. I had the New England clam chowder which was out of this world and I am from Long Island NY, so I know chowder. I had the mahi tacos which I have all the time since I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The tortilla was corn meal home made and the flavors were amazing. My wife had the tuna steak sandwich with charred Brussel sprouts which was amazing. The view is incredible. Service was great. Highly recommend.
