From the reviews
Location and Atmosphere is Top Notch! The beach front vibe does not get any better. The downstairs get a view of the ocean and the pier, but not a full view of the sunset. The place is packed, even on a Tuesday. But our server was amazing and on point. She was able to deliver an excellent service. Food is great.
Manhattan Beach at its finest. Great view of the water. Service is attentive. Drinks are 5* expect a nice bill for 4. $$$$. PEI Oysters a must if you love them.
Perfect for a date any time of the day and you get a beautiful view of the beach. We were greeted warmly and service was phenomenal. The restaurant itself is gorgeous with mainly windows (feeling like glass walls) that you get a panoramic view surrounding The Strand House.
Did not eat there but went to Manhattan Beach to go there. But had a change of mind wanted a different cuisine. Beautiful place, great view of the sunset, right on the beach. You will enjoy it. Safe did not see a lot of homeless people down on the beach. Oh, really?
Getting married at The Strand House
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
