Rock'N Fish — Restaurant in Manhattan Beach

I recently dined at Rockfish in Manhattan Beach, California, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming ambiance of the restaurant. But what truly stole the show were the exceptional seafood dishes that I had the pleasure of enjoying.

Let's start with the shrimp - it was a true seafood lover's dream! The shrimp were plump, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The flavor was exquisite, and the seasoning added just the right amount of zing, making it a dish that I couldn't resist ordering again. The freshness of the shrimp was evident, and it was evident that Rockfish takes great pride in sourcing the finest ingredients.

Next up was the clam chowder, and it was nothing short of sensational. Creamy, rich, and bursting with flavors of the sea, it was a bowl of comfort that left me wanting more. The clams were tender and flavorful, and the broth was perfectly seasoned, striking the perfect balance of flavors. It was evident that the chef's expertise and attention to detail shone through in this delectable dish.

And let's not forget the Caesar salad - a classic done right at Rockfish. The crisp romaine lettuce was fresh and vibrant, and the homemade Caesar dressing was tangy and full of flavor. Topped with crunchy croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese, it was a refreshing and satisfying choice that perfectly complemented the seafood dishes.

Not only was the food at Rockfish exceptional, but the service was also impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was top-notch. The attention to detail and the friendly atmosphere added to the overall enjoyment of my meal.

In conclusion, Rockfish in Manhattan Beach, California, is a seafood lover's paradise. The shrimp, clam chowder, and Caesar salad were all outstanding, showcasing the chef's expertise and the restaurant's commitment to using fresh ingredients. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was welcoming. I highly recommend Rockfish for an unforgettable seafood dining experience in...

I flew into LA to attend the Blackpink concerts at SoFi and made a reservation at one of my favorite places in Manhattan Beach, Rock ‘N Fish. My flight was 3+ hours late but the staff at the restaurant handled my requests to push back my reservation several times … A big thanks go out to the responsive service … I finally arrived at 9pm and was seated at a table right by the sidewalk where I could watch the vibrant scene on Manhattan Beach Blvd.

I started with a 1908 Empress gin & tonic ($15) while I perused the menu. I ordered a half dozen oysters ($22.95) and the blackened halibut ($49.95) with broccolini and spicy mac-n-cheese as the two sides. The oysters were the size I prefer (small) and were served with cocktail sauce, horseradish and Champagne mignonette.

My halibut was not as blackened as I expected, it was more like a well-grilled piece of fish. It was served with grilled lemon, and some Cajun butter. I chose roasted broccolini with honey / sesame glaze and spicy mac-n-cheese as my two sides. The broccolini was so good, I wanted more! I wish my halibut was a bit rarer; I like my fish underdone. That’s on me, I failed to tell Lindy how I wanted my fish cooked.

I didn’t have room for dessert because the mac-n-cheese was so filling, so I ended my meal with a nice cup of coffee (gratis). I asked Lindy if they still had T-shirts for sale. She was unfamiliar with them, but she showed me some caps and I purchased three to give away as gifts back home in Hawaii.

If you want good seafood in a vibrant atmosphere, Rock ‘N Fish is the place for you! Parking can be problematic, but I’ve been able to find parking on each visit....

If you do not want to be looked at as a dollar bill do not go here. Our food was mediocre at best and our meal was completely rushed. Our waitress did not check in on us regularly and when it came time to eat, our three entrees did not come out together. I don’t know about you, but when I’m dining with my family we like to eat at the same time. Two out of the three entrees came out very quickly (pre cooked for sure) and we sat there for close to ten minutes with our two entrees until we saw our waitress to inquire where the third entree was. Instead of apologizing she made a lame excuse and ran off to the kitchen. A few minutes later she came out with the third entree. By this time, the other two meals were not warm anymore. She never once asked us to heat up the other two meals. She literally dropped off the third entree and ran off. Please note it was a Sunday night and not busy at all. I guess she had more important things to tend to than her customers. The worst part of all was that it was my bday dinner with my husband and kids. We felt so unwelcome and under serviced that we didn’t even order a special bday dessert. We couldn’t wait to get out of there. I would never go back to this restaurant and I would never recommend it. Our food was just okay and the service was so poor that we could have dealt with the food had our waitress taken good care of us. But unfortunately it was a waste of time and money and celebratory dinner. Not to mention, the tab was still over $200 with only three entrees and an appetizer. Thanks...
