• American • Manhattan Beach

ADDITIONAL AVAILABILITY ON OUR WEBSITE : TinRoofBistro.com After soaking in the TRB’s Santa Barbara mission architecture, you’ll enter and be greeted by a triple arched Brunswick mahogany bar. Large bowls of colorful citrus for making cocktails sit atop a twenty-foot long bar perfect for grabbing a glass of wine or a bite to eat. As you explore further towards the display kitchen, you enter our lounge, also referred to as the wine library. Knotted wood shelves display our wines, divided up by wine region. Windows surround the North side of the dining room, allowing our guests to gaze out onto the fountain in our courtyard. I describe the décor as thoughtful and collective, creating little vignettes for dining areas. We offer two separate outdoor dining experiences: our courtyard with full service and our front porch great for appetizers, drinks and lounging.

The experience started off shaky with the greeter, but the Guest Service Manager Oscar Torres stepped right up and made the rest of our experience at Paul Martin an A plus experience. Guest service makes a huge difference in any experience I just want to acknowledge him for his professionalism and good energy and making our dinning experience enjoyable.

We went mid week for a birthday celebration and decided to sit outside with the heaters because it was very loud and busy inside. Our server was great and very friendly. Food came out quickly and tasted great. I had a pizza called the bee sting and it had a great flavor profile along with a great taste crust. We started with the spinach dip and the whole table enjoyed it. Great wine and drink selection. We highly recommend and will be back soon.
