Best Casual Restaurants in Hawthorne / Gardena

The food was absolutely delicious.....the ambiance is not that great and service could have been better as well

JOEY Manhattan consistently delivers quality dishes and great ambiance, making it a go-to spot for a top-level dining experience. We started with a couple of apples, and the Hibachi Wings were a great twist on traditional chicken wings - perfectly cooked and savoury. The hummus was bursting with flavour and pita soft. For our mains, I had the sirloin steak, which was cooked perfectly and offered a tender, flavourful bite. The crispy mash was absolutely delightful. Awesome time!

My husband and I were in town to celebrate our wedding anniversary and came across Eddie V’s on OpenTable while looking for a restaurant to celebrate. The experience was amazing from start to finish! We were quickly greeted at valet and they had our table decorated with rose petals and a card. We had the crab cake appetizer and sea bass with mashed potatoes for our meal. They topped of our evening with a small shareable banana foster, sherbet, and powdered sugar covered brownies. Our waitress Jasmine was very attentive. Definitely a 10 experience.

Great new spot! The flights are fun, and they have a great selection on tap. Most surprising was how good the food was. We ordered most of the apps, and demolished them. Def take the server’s recommendations on flavors. We will be back soon.

Overall experience was fantastic. There was a little hiccup when one of the servers accidentally took our sign that indicated what entrée we were having, and the servers kept walking by us without serving my husband any of the entrée that he selected. However, once we brought it to their attention, they fixed it, and they began to serve him endless supplies of meat for the rest of the night. Food and ambience was fantastic.
