    Hook & Plow is one of my regular spots in Manhattan Beach. It is bright and airy with modern design touch. It is prefect for sunny days as it gives and outdoor feel but you have full shade from the sun and on cooler days the heaters and fire pits make it super cozy. The fish tacos and clam chowder are must haves on the menu .

    Love the experience. Service and food are great. Can’t wait to come back and enjoy the ceviche and crudo and everything else. Furikake fries are heaven.

    Good was really good but it was very loud. I would suggest some cork on the ceiling and some rugs or some noise reducing mechanism.
