Well here I am again, writing about Rock N’ Fish for a third time. This is one of the best places I have been to in Manhattan Beach. Even with a third visit I enjoyed some new dishes plus my favorites. I started with my favorite appetizer – the coconut crusted Mahi sliders. The crunchy Mahi is covered with a mango slaw, avocado, and sweet chili aioli. The Mahi itself was flakey and fell apart as I took a bite. It did not have an overly coconut flavor. The sweetness came from the slaw. The sliders were just as good…

I have written about so many restaurants in Manhattan Beach. It is one of my favorite areas to hang out. I found another little place called Little Sister. After checking out their menu and seeing it was full of Asian fusion dishes, I knew I wanted to stop by.    I had made it in time to enjoy happy house, which they called “Spice Hour”. I glanced at the drink specials. I went for the “Tom Hardy”. They called it citrus and fizzy – white wine, passion fruit, and cocchi blanco. To me this tasted like a sangria, just not…

When I visit the Los Angeles area one of my favorite places to go is Manhattan Beach. There are so many restaurants to choose from. Many of them have a great view of the pier and the Pacific Ocean. The Strand House is one of those restaurants. Unfortunately the day I visited the weather was not the greatest. It was really foggy over the water.    I started off with a Moscow mule as I looked over the menu. They served it in a copper cup so it stayed nice and cold. There was one appetizer that they are known…

 Well I promised myself if I was ever able to visit Manhattan Beach, California again I would head back to Rock N’ Fish. I was glad I got there in time to see the sunset. It was so beautiful to see the sun fade into the Pacific Ocean. This visit I was able to sit on their outside patio. It was the perfect weather for it too, not too hot and not to cold.     Instead of ordering an appetizer and a main dish I went for an appetizer and a salad. Their portions are pretty large so I knew…

A delicious restaurant I visited while in Manhattan Beach was MB Post. It’s a very happening place. You can sit at your table and watch the hustle and bustle in the kitchen. All the dishes here were small portions that made sharing easy. They have a long list of hand crafted cocktails to choose from. I started with a Moscow Mule; it wasn’t on the menu but I had confidence that the bartender could make it. I also did this because I needed more time to determine what other creation to try. The waitress informed me that MB Post is…

A picture perfect visit to California has to include watching the sun set over the Pacific Ocean while enjoying a wonderful meal. That is exactly the experience I received when I visited Rock’N Fish in Manhattan Beach. This place was clearly a hot spot because as soon as I walked in I saw lines of people at the bar and every table was full. I was so glad to have a reservation. My table was upstairs, away from the big crowds; there was a cool balcony that let me look down at the restaurant below. It was recommended that I…

While visiting Manhattan Beach, California, I made the mistake of not making dinner reservations ahead of time. Naturally I panicked a little because I was hungry. Not far from the hotel was Tin Roof Bistro. I decided to take my chances and see if they had a table. To my astonishment they did! Tin Roof Bistro is a rustic looking restaurant that had a very intimate feel. Their menu was eclectic; there was seafood to wood fire pizzas. I decided to start with a spicy tuna spring roll. I expected to get a crunchy, traditional spring roll but this was…
