Heading back to LAX, after a day of business, my soul directed the car to any street providing visions of blue and a gulp of salt air. I came upon the Manhattan Beach pier and scanned for a table with a view. The Strand House is a glass cube with modern, clean interiors and bright shade umbrellas over the coveted... More

The restaurant sits just "steps" from the Manhattan Beach Pier. The food is excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The menu is somewhat out of the ordinary. We will continue coming here!

While visiting Southern California, I had an opportunity to do brunch here the day before Easter, 2013. We were seated at an ocean view table. The service was extraordinary; the food delicious and all the staff were wonderful. Although there was a very large party that arrived while we were there, the service was perfect. Donuts are a must! They... More

Service was impeccable; the food incomparable. Amazing presentation and wonderful,fresh favors in... More

We had a birthday to celebrate on Easter, and since we were going to be in California, I wanted to take my guests somewhere they could see the ocean while they enjoyed brunch. This place online seemed to offer ocean views from almost every angle, so I thought it would be a good idea. The place is really nice, but... More

Overall a very memorable experience. Cannot argue with the location, the decor and the overall ambience. Food is good, would have been great for MB 5 years ago, but the bar has been raised by others in the last few years. Overall a nice spot, if a bit pricey, to go and enjoy a sunset, a drink and some appetizers... More

We liked this place. Excellent location (parking nearby), nice views of the ocean and pier. The restaurant had a nice ambiance. It also has two bars - one upstairs, one down. This makes for a nice place to wait as it does get crowded. Our waiter was excellent. He know the food, wine, etc. and made a couple of recommendations... More

My boyfriends order came out wrong - not a big deal, but the potatoes he got instead of greens were underdone, just like mine. My dish was a scramble with sausage and goat cheese, but I couldn't taste or find any cheese at all. I ordered more on the side and added it in myself. My bf got a prosciutto... More

Sat outside on the small patio. We had a great view of the Manhattan Beach pier, Strand and beach. The cheese and meat appetizer was fantastic and the drinks ample. Highly recommend The Strand House for late afternoon get together.
