Best Romantic Restaurants in Hawthorne / Gardena

The food is always delicious. The staff is always curteous and attentive. The Bottle Inn is one of my family's favorites!

I've been meaning to come to this restaurant since it opened a couple of decades ago. The big surprise was the view. Where you expect to be looking out to open water you instead look across a large concrete expanse of the horseshoe pier. There are water views of the inside area of that pier. The other surprise is how large the restaurant is. There was a birthday party of 20 when we were there and the place didn't seem full at all. Service was relaxed, friendly and attentive. The prices are average for high end seafood and steaks. They do have a $49 prix fixe that one of our group ordered and very much liked. Both the clam chowder and lobster bisque were superb, as was the salmon. And excellent complimentary hot bread, a rarity these days. As we were celebrating two birthdays, 2 complimentary creme brulees showed up at the end. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

What a fantastic night out ! This is the second time for dining in this restaurant. It was my boyfriend's birthday. The Mexican authentic gourmet cuisine was excellent. The host of restaurant Mr. Robert was so warm and nice. Also, server Luis was outstanding, and the Mariachi performance was great. I will definitely come back again for special occasions.

Felt rushed. Food was good… We were offered 2 tables to chose from even though the place was not full. Asked to to sit on the benches by the fire but we were told that there was a reservation for 14 people at 6:30pm (only a couple sat there until we left around 7:15pm). We sat on one of the tables they offered us and at around 7pm they told us that they needed the table for another reservation (We were still drinking our wine).
