About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
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.

    This is our go-to place for celebrations, to entertain and also just when we want an exceptional meal. Everything is top notch: food, ambience, service, restaurant is spotless and beautiful. The service runs like a machine in the best way possible, super proactive, friendly and never pushy. LOVE The Strand House!

    Booked this to entertain a visiting VIP I needed to impress. Arrived to see not one but 2 parades happening on the beach with a very loud band playing on the beach. (The restaurant did send out a text that morning warning of the parades and potential lack of parking) Anyway I was worried we would not be able to hear each other at the table but the very professional hostess assured me it would be ok and seated us somewhat distanced and buffered from the bandstand yet still ensured a water view. She also accommodated an additional person that arrived for brunch beyond what I had reserved for. I am grateful for the way she managed the situation. The setting is beautiful. The food was fantastic. Our waiter Nathan was professional and we will frequent this location again. I can’t report on the prices because our guest actually picked up the tab but in my view even if we had paid the experience would have been worth it.

    Great food. Amazing view! My favorites were the Thai-style fish to share and the pumpkin cheesecake, but the donuts were also delicious
