First time going to The Rockerfeller in Manhattan Beach. Cool little spot, it's cozy and has a beach vibe to it. I loved how the floos to ceiling windows slid open, creating an I doors vibe but with a patio feel to it.
Food:
The food was good. Nothing really stood out, and we didn't get one of those wow factors. It was pretty avaerage, but none the less it was good. We tried a few options to see what they had to offer. We ordered off the happy hour menu and main menu. We chose to try the happy hour menu first.
Truffle Mac 'n cheese - which was good, but you only got a couple of bites' worth. It's not really worth it for happy hour prices.
Rockerfeller Mess - it was pretty good it's french fries with guacamole, house sauce, and fresh toppings. It was good, and you get a good portion. Easily feeds 2 people.
Zucchini Fries - you get 5 spears, which are good and lightly fried, but they lacked flavor. We added a slight dash of salt, and it made all the difference. Comes with ranch dip.
Salas & Chips - this was also good. The Salas had a smokey flavor, which I loved. And you get a good size portion safe choice.
Main Menu:
Santa Fe Egg Rolls - you get 3 egg rolls cut in half. These were good with plenty of flavor, and the size of each one was large. The fried wrap was light and crispy, and the tated fresh. It comes with ranch dip, which I felt like a spicy ranch or Chipotle sauce would compliment it better.
Ahi Womton Nachos - these were my favorite. You got a large plate of these, and the flavor and toppings were on point. The wonton chips are so good and lightly fried. The ahi was fresh and covered almost every wonton. Great choice for groups and personal. So good.
Cabo Shrimp Tacos - this comes with 3 tacos and black beans. This was a great choice as well, super fresh and good size tacos. The flavor was great.
They also have a great beer and wine selection.
Service:
Staff was amazing and friendly. Only had on server the he was killing it with all tables. He checked on us throughout our time there and provided good feedback on the menu. Thanks,
Atmosphere:
It's a beach vibe restaurant, and it's a really cool spot to chill and have a good time with friends and family. It's small but decorated nicely, and it makes you want to hang out, so I love it. They have 2 televisions, and they are more than happy to change the tv to your liking. Great place to go and enjoy some free time.
Price:
The prices are good overall. They did have some items on the happy hour that seemed a little high for what you got. However, the prices are still fair and reasonable. Nothing too expensive.
Location:
It's located in Manhattan Beach off Highland Avenue and 12th Pl. Right in the corner. Parking is tight, so make sure you're okay with walking a couple of blocks. But it's a short walk from any direction, and the street parking is paid meters. Just a heads up.
