Full Menu Review for BFF’s Birthday 🌊✨
OMG—this view!!! 😭 California beaches are next-level magical. The 5M oceanfront vibe at The Strand House had us dreaming of moving in (seriously, can we live here?!). We ordered half the menu (no regrets), and while the food didn’t quite match the jaw-dropping scenery, the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the location. Here’s the full breakdown: 🦪 STARTERS: 1️⃣ Oysters 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 – Small but mighty! Sweeter and cleaner than Boston’s $3 oysters. 2️⃣ Crab Cake 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 – Crispy outside, lump crab heaven inside. 3️⃣ Octopus 🌟🌟🌟🌟 – Good but forgettable (skip if you’re not obsessed). 4️⃣ Truffle Flatbread 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 – Buttery, truffle-y, carb bliss. Order this! 🍝 MAINS (Hit or Miss): 5️⃣ Scallop Pasta 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 – Silky scallops stole the show (portion’s perfect for ladies). 6️⃣ Fideo Seafood Pasta 🌟🌟🌟 – Too thin, too meh (table consensus: “nope”). 7️⃣ Braised Short Rib 🌟🌟🌟(🌟) – Just… fine (not bad, not wow). 8️⃣ Pan-Seared Risotto 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 – Creamy, green, and gorgeous (Instagram gold!). 9️⃣ Seabass 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 – Flawless but pricey (worth it for a splurge). 💡 VERDICT: Seafood = ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (minus that one pasta flop 😂). Views = 10/10 – Sunset dinners here? Unreal. Book a window table for max romance. Vibes = 💛💛💛💛 (would be 5💛 if they nixed the mediocre dishes). 📍 The Strand House #LADining #OceanviewEats #BirthdayVibes #LAFoodie #DateNightSpot #SeafoodHeaven
