About this restaurant

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

    Excellent food, service, and view of the beach. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. A bit on the pricier side but worth every penny for the unique flavors offered.

    Requested a specific table on outside patio, but was offered a small marginal table against the wall without a view. Moved to inside table near upstairs bar area. Waiter was indifferent to our needs and requests. Overall experience was underwhelming.
