About The Strand House

Watch on TikTok

Perched directly above the Manhattan Beach Pier with unobstructed ocean views, The Strand House is the South Bay's premier special-occasion restaurant. Chef Chris Park's seasonal California menu — built on local produce, fresh seafood, and wood-fired technique — earns the setting rather than simply coasting on it. Weekend brunch is one of LA's most scenic, and the downstairs StrandBar cocktail lounge is a destination in its own right. The $75 reservation deposit signals serious intent on both sides; the food delivers.
