The Strand House is a sophisticated yet comfortable family-owned restaurant conceived by a small group of South Bay families out of their love for great food, wine and friends. With floor to ceiling glass windows and 180° sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, world travelers and locals alike may come for the view, but stay for Chef Chris Park’s Coastal California Cuisine.

Our menu highlights the bounty of produce available year round in Southern California. Each week, our chefs roam the farmers market sourcing directly from the best farmers and purveyors around. The Strand House is also home to a thoughtful and carefully crafted cocktail and wine program that is sure to please each of our guests.

We are located in beautiful downtown Manhattan Beach, just steps from the famous Manhattan Beach Pier. The Strand House offers a five-star experience with the warmth and hospitality you would expect from a beach town, where each guest is treated like family.

    My husband and I had a memorable dinner last night. Service was impeccable. My husband uses a Seeing Eye Dog and we felt welcomed. Kudos to the service staff and the chef! The food and drinks (try a Bloody Mary here) were sublime. We wish we had a restaurant of this quality near where we live! Happy Thanksgiving!

    Food was fantastic. Rick our waiter was excellent. It was very noisy. But I think that's because everyone was enjoying themselves.

    Reservation didn't get us a decent table. They tried to sit us on the bar porch with heaters. Lied about availability in the dining. Finally got a table someone else rejected. Service was excellent. Rick took good care of us. Food was pricey but acceptable. It was so cold in there though as soon as the food was put on the table. No need to have the patio door open being so cold outside. Open air restaurant only desirable during the day or in the summer. Not at night in November.
