- JJasonLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a great experience overall. Unfortunately the kitchen and waitstaff suffered some setbacks due to unforeseen staffing constraints, which led to somewhat longer than usual wait times, yet the food and service were excellent and truly worth the wait. We had the best short rib with polenta we've ever had, the BBQ flatbread is amazing with a surprising but pleasant kick to it, and the steak is flavorful and well accompanied also! We will certainly be back, and genuinely appreciate the grace under pressure the staff exhibited to us and all the guests throughout the evening! Amazing hospitality and food!More infoDecadencePrice: Moderate• Californian• Hermosa Beach•4.3

- CChrisSt. Louis •23 reviews5.0Dined on 2 Feb 2025This experience was outstanding. The tuna poke and clam chowder were amazing appetizers. The cheddar scallion biscuits drizzled with honey with the blueberry lime jam were quite tasty. Unfortunately, it was all so good that we were getting full and didn’t get to savor enough of the chicken and catch of the day as our entrees, which were really exceptional! The leek cream sauce with arugula and cranberries on the chicken was delectable. The sauce with the catch of the day (pan fried sea bass) was also incredible. And I can’t forget to mention the brussel sprouts. The addition of the capers to those is quite ingenious as it adds some tangy balance to the richness of the sprouts’ glaze. Amazing. Next time I am in town, dinner here is a must!More infoThe Hook & Plow - Hermosa BeachPrice: Moderate• Californian• Hermosa Beach•4.8
