    A hidden gem. Too bad this restaurant got stuck in this out-of-the-way location (since the theaters closed, there is not much foot traffic, but the parking beats anything else in Manhattan Beach). In Hermosa Beach as Jackson's this was possibly my favorite restaurant. But I forget it's there until we went again last night and had a delicious meal with attentive service. The filet with risotto is still as delicious as ever, and we all enjoyed our entrees. Must get back again sooner than it has been since the last time we ate here.

    Very great experience dining here! I usually come here when it’s super packed but luckily the day I went (and the time) it was not packed at all. With it being less busy, the ambiance was nice and quiet. I was able to hear my conversations. The food was amazing!! The Sweet Corn Agnolotti was very good but lacked a sufficient amount for how much the dish is. The Spicy Pomodoro was amazing!! One of my favorites here and for the amount of pasta it has, it is worth your money. I was not expecting to like the Banana Tiramisu but I enjoyed it so much! I wish I got two but I ended up getting so full haha. Overall 9/10 experience!

    Food was excellent  and the ambience and view was amazing. But the only thing is the lady outside told us there were no tables available so she put us on the waitlist. We waited for an hour, but when we looked up on OpenTable, there were lots of spaces available so don’t rely on the people on the front desk and check OpenTable for reservations and availabilities.
