Salt & Pearl Seafood Restaurant Brings Lobster Rolls to Redondo Beach | Eater LA

"Opening on Friday, January 5 in the former King Harbor Brewing Company space in Redondo Beach, this brand-new seafood restaurant from South Bay entrepreneurs Mickey Mance and Justin Essman (who also operate neighboring Vida) features a dining-room design by Santa Ana–based Vanrooy Design. Chef Alex Schwartzman’s classic seafood menu includes Connecticut-style lobster rolls and fresh oysters served on ice, while barman Ken Gray’s cocktail program offers inventive creations such as the Tokyo Bootlegger (re‑proofed pomegranate moonshine, house-made rouge grape coconut water oleo, and citrus) and the Lady Churchill (re‑proofed black cherry and umami‑bonded Old Forester bourbon with Carpano Antica sweet vermouth, bitters, and a hand-cut cube)." - Cathy Chaplin
