Rock'N Fish

Rock N Fish has great seafood and drinks in a casual atmosphere right on the beach/pier in Manhattan in the center of all the action. The patio is a great spot to people watch and take in the beautiful weather. The crab cakes are massive and delicious. The lobster tacos were a hit with a hard shell and special sauce. The crusted mahi mahi was outstanding.. very crisp but light and very flavorful with a fruit salsa on top and served over asparagus. Overall the food was excellent. They also have a wide variety on the menu.. tacos, burgers, fish sammies, prime rib specials, plenty of steak choices... there is a lot of choice and you can't go wrong because the food is all great. Service was friendly and our server gave us nice recommendations that turned out to be winners. We shall return.

Came to celebrate a Birthday. Got the seafood food tower, boy this was wonderful!! The seafood was so fresh and the Horse Radish that came with it was the best we ever had. I know that odd thing to bring up but it was that good. I really want to make this an Annual thing to get the Seafood Tower. They have the prime rib on Sunday so might come back or do a delivery just for that. They were celebrating their 25 years Anniversary got the Navy Grogg, which was super tasty and sweet. Got to take the glass home for this celebration. Last but not least, the cream brulee was unbelieveable. The crust on top usually it is thin but their cream brulee top portion is thick and it was heaven. It was so heaven in mouth took 2 for to go. Also got the irish cream and boy that was strong and tasty. The service was Superb. Our Waitress was the sweetest. Thank you for a great time and delicous food.

Our family had a fantastic experience for dinner. Jackie was our server and was so wonderful! Very knowledgeable of the food and helpful in suggestions on what to eat and drink. All of the food was prepared well and delicious. The grilled Artichoke appetizer was amazing! The signature Navy Grog was average but the Fish House Punch was on point. Highly recommend.

In town visiting our son for Christmas and we enjoyed a delicious dinner with family here! Our waitress, Tricia, was outstanding and very knowledgeable at suggesting our entrees. I had the mahi mahi and the prickly pear coloda and they were fabulous! We definitely recommend this establishment over and over again!

Really nice seafood restaurant right in the heart of Manhattan Beach. They serve the biggest oysters I have ever seen. The fish are very fresh and have no fishy flavor at all. The coconut shrimp were big and crispy, packed with flavor. The interior decoration is great and the staff are very friendly.

"Rock’N Fish starts with the best bartender in town: Ian Hutton! 🥂 Ian is a total pro—he knows the menu perfectly and just feels the vibe. Tonight, Kristina and I had the Rib Eye with Mac 'n Cheese and a Baked Potato (so good!). ​The Daou Chardonnay was the perfect pairing. Big shoutout to Cruz from the kitchen for the assist—the service here is professional and on point. We love this place and we love Ian! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

We stopped in because of the location and the atmosphere. We loved the food and the service. I know that the lobster was cooked the way many like, just cooked, but I do like mine cooked a little longer, shrimp too. Ate it all of course, it was that good.

Casual spot with great service, a fun beach-side atmosphere and tasty seafood focused bites.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Spencer & team (hostess, manager, and bar staff) made our night memorable! Thank you so much for accommodating our requests on seating (reserved best seat to watch the sunset) & foods (coconut shrimps, halibut catch of the day, salmon)/drinks (Hawaiian) recommendations. We ordered/tried everything Spencer suggested and they were ALL SCRUMPTIOUS/ PERFECTION! My friend from Germany is now considering moving to Manhattan Beach and your restaurant is now one of our favorites. You'll be seeing us again! THANK YOU & KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING HOSPITALITY/CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Hadn't dined at Rock'N Fish in ages, but I've now added it to the rotation after some very good, recent lunches. They've got a good lunch special that includes clam chowder or a salad plus Blackened Rockfish or salmon and choice of side dish. The rockfish is served in a sauce (beurre blanc?) with capers. Perfectly cooked. My companion got the brussel sprouts as her side, I ordered the spicy mac & cheese- nice flavor and made for a nicely-portioned lunch. I've tried the fish & chips, the grilled fish tacos, and the macadamia-crusted mahi-mahi on other visits. All solid, well-prepared choices made with quality ingredients. Another highlight is their selection of local spirits. They have locally-headquartered NEFT Vodka which makes for the smoothest Bloody Mary ever. Street parking and parking lots along the beach. Nice view and people-watching from the front patio. Excellent service by Christian, the bartender. When you dine at the bar, he'll make you feel like he actually enjoys serving meals (which I didn't personally love back in my bartending). Bon Appétit!

It was beautiful this past weekend and we had cousins in town. They asked us to meet them at the beach and this place was feet from the strand. Calamari was delicious, French fries always a good choice , Tortilla soup and Lobster Ceviche was so good 8/10 for sure. A nice glass of white wine on this beautiful Saturday. Jill thank you for your service you were amazing. See you guys soon. Thank you!!

My two guests and I dined here for the first time. Overall it was a decent and worthwhile experience. I'll give you my highs and less than highs. The restaurant is located close to the beach. There are many other nearby restaurants within a couple of short blocks. We parked about 4 blocks away in a parking structure and glad we did because, as we walked to Rock 'N Fish, we didn't see available street parking. I'm rather used to this because finding street parking anywhere in Manhattan Beach business and dining district is always a challenge. My best advice is to know where parking lots and structures are rather than driving around hunting for a place to leave your car. We were greeted by the host at the restaurant. We had a reservation and were seated at a very large and comfortable booth that could have accommodated 6 or even 8 people. I noticed three separate dining areas - one upon entering with informal seating, the main dining room with booths, tables and a bar, and upstairs dining that looked down on the main dining room. Our waiter was very efficient and gave us plenty of time to go through the menu. We started with the Garlic Cheese Toast that was served with tomato sauce. It was a little pricy at $15 but it was very good and fresh and enough to share by two people. The sauce was basically tomato soup and was very flavorful. I had the New England Clam Chowder soup. The server brought it to our table and didn't know who it was for. I told him it was for me and he set it down. But he left the soup spoon at the other far end of the table which was unnoticed even while I was asking our waiter for the spoon. The soup was pretty good, not exceptional and came barely warm (I won't say "cold" but it was just a notch above that level). I've had clam chowder soup at many restaurants and this recipe was filing and full of flavor and essentially met my expectations. We had arrived at 7 pm and, by 7:30 pm, the noise level inside was so energetic that it was nearly impossible to communicate with my guests. I'm not saying this was a bad thing and I only mention it in case people are looking for intimate dining. Two of us had the King Salmon which included two sides. I ordered the dinner salad and baked potato and so did one of my guests. The downer part is the food looked less than appetizing on the plate. The salmon was on the small size and the baked potato had a very rustic appearance. But both were very good. The salmon was cooked properly, pink inside and served at the right temperature. The baked potato was also hot and not overcooked. Looks and presentation aside it was a good meal. My other guest had the Burrata with Braised Leeks and, although we didn't talk about it, he only ate half of it and said he didn't like it. The server who cleaned the table noticed the burrata was only half finished and didn't say or ask anything about my guest's satisfaction. All things considered this is a nice restaurant, especially for those who like the energetic group scene. The food is good, not spectacular and, for the cost, a good deal. I'd say give it a try and, remember, if you drive your car there try to plan ahead and know where to conveniently park.

Great service. Great food. Great drinks. You can see the ocean Our waiter was great and her recommendation s were on the spot

This is one of those spots that you can go to and enjoy every moment no matter what you're celebrating or if you're just coming to hang out. I can't tell you how awesome the staff is and how good the food is. Love this spot. The crowd is great the views are even better and it's just an all out great time. Wait time is normally 30 minutes. Parking can be a drag. But it only takes about 15 minutes on a busy day to find a spot. You do have to pay for parking.

Really nice seafood restaurant right in the heart of Manhattan Beach. They serve the biggest oysters I have ever seen. The fish are very fresh and have no fishy flavor at all. The coconut shrimp were big and crispy, packed with flavor. The interior decoration is great and the staff are very friendly.

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. Call me lucky!

Very solid restaurant super close to the beach. We booked a reservation for Father's Day. Walked right up here from the main part of the pier after a great day at the beach. Mac n cheese was definitely the star of the show imo. Top notch flavor and perfect texture. For entree had the surf'n turf. Although the lobster was delicious, it wasn't the best steak I've had. I wish I would have tried more of the seafood options that were being recommended. Mashed potatoes were nice and creamy and the asparagus had a good texture. Service was on top of it. They have an outdoor area, lower level and upper level. Parking is scarce in this area so plan accordingly.

This location is real close to the shore and on the hill. There's metered parking that extends to two hours that accepts quarters or card. The atmosphere here is really neat amd obviously marine themed. I like the fish artwork! The service was great. Our server was really nice and friendly. The food arrived at a good time. I got the blackened Fish Tacos (recommended by the server) and it was delicious. The tortillas seemed homemade and has a nice texture to them. They are generous with the avocado. I liked the seasoning on the fish. You get two cups of sauce but I was mostly tempted to eat the tacos as is. The dishes are well portioned. I was full by the end. I'd definitely return to try more of the menu.

This is just a few steps from the Manhattan Beach pier and it's well worth a visit! Honestly, maybe a little touristy, but the food was genuinely good and so was the drink. I can't remember what it was called, it was their specialty rum drink, but it was nice and sweet and had crushed ice. Our waitress was great, she did upsell me on the drink (on my visit, it came with the glass for their anniversary!) but it was a very low pressure sale. She made good menu suggestions after asking our general food preferences. We were able to be seated at 11am on a Saturday with absolutely no wait, but it was busier when we left.

Great tasting, quality food! I've been here a few times growing up, and the food is just as delicious as I remember. We ordered their Beer Battered Fish and Chips, New England Clam Chowder, Blackened Oregon Rockfish, ROCK'N Scampi. Their Fish and Chips are pretty good, not dry, and are perfectly crisped. Their fries are just normal fries but they're good. It also comes with a coleslaw salad which was fresh, lightly sweet, and a bit creamy which I liked. The clam chowder was also pretty good. It sort of reminded me of the clam chowder from Erewhon. It consisted of a good number of clams and was nice and creamy. The Blackened Oregon Rockfish was delicious and very fresh. I also really enjoyed the mashed potatoes that came with the dish. The ROCK'N Scampi is a pasta dish. This dish was good and contained shrimps that tasted fresh. Although, I preferred their non-pasta dishes more. Overall, had a great dining experience and the food here was excellent. The servers were very kind and helpful. The restaurant is also super close to the beach, so you can get a pretty nice view of the beach if you dine outdoors. There's no designated parking lot, but I was able to find free parking minutes away walking distance.

Love this place! Great location...close to the beach. Lovely outdoorish seating. Came to celebrate our anniversary! Perfect spot for delish drinks, views, yummy food and dessert! And the best service. Great happy hour! Got the espresso martini, beer, and shared the seafood tower. All delish! After a walk around the town & down to the beach, we had dinner later on ... Artichoke, cheese bread, Rib Eye & Cioppino = all delish! We had 2 different servers and they both were super attentive and friendly. Recommend!

Yummy spot near the ocean however as you know in a high tourist area prices are also marked up. Parking is terrible as to be expected. Coconut shrimp and the fish tacos were super fresh and tasty. Good quality products with lots of flavor. Even with the coconut shrimp bring fried, it wasn't heavy or oily.

First off, here's what's great about this spot: Great location and great service. It's near the water, near other bars and our group of 4 was able to be seated immediately at 12:30pm on a Saturday. What's sadly not so great is the food. We really enjoyed the cocktails and the raw oysters, but the rest was pretty bland. We ordered the fish tacos and the seafood pasta and both lacked flavor and absolutely weren't worth what we paid. Maybe we ordered the wrong items? Unsure.

We had a great meal of Blackened Halibut and Fish & Chips with a Calamari starter. The chocolate soufflé dessert was delicious too. Our table, which the hostess was nice enough to give us, had an ocean view (for one of us) and there was a nice breeze. Our server, Karina, was very attentive and personable. It was a really nice night.

I used to love this place but they have seriously gone down hill. We went here a few days after Vday to celebrate & got the lobster tails as always. I should have taken a picture. They were SO tiny! & TOUGH & CHEWY. gross! What a waste of $300 for 2 people. The only thing I can say anything good about is their spicy mac n cheese... that's about it. BOO!!!! We have been here countless times, but that was our last. never again.

Hands down, one of the best seafood restaurants in Manhattan Beach! This place is excellent. Great location right off the beach, great food, great drinks, and great service. We were able to get a reservation, which I definitely recommend doing. The inside is nice. We got to sit in the bar room and really loved the vibe. Our server was so nice and very helpful with all our questions! Had great recommendations on the menu as well. The food was fantastic! Everything was fresh and made perfectly. Our group had a variety of entrees but the two that stuck out were the Barramundi and Classic Lobster Roll. Absolutely recommend both! They have a great selection of sides that you can swap out as well. The drinks were delicious as well. The Navy Grog is their specialty cocktail, and it is so good! Comes in a fun glass as well. Overall, Rock'N Fish needs to be on your list of restaurants to try in Manhattan Beach, especially if you're looking for seafood. Cannot go wrong here!

One of my favorite seafood restaurants to date. Rock'N Fish serves all the classics. The only thing I wish they did differently was how they prepare their lobster roll cold vs hot. Other than that, the food was really good. My favorite were the scallops and poke nachos. Service was quick and efficient. I'd like to come back and try other menu items soon!

Went into rock n fish for dinner with my husband and thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. Our server Bradley was very nice and gave us great recommendations for food! The Macadamia crusted Mahi Mahi was delicous. Will definitely be returning!

Located up the street from the pier, this was a nice place for date night, family night or a quick drink. Extensive bar and attentive servers. The jambalaya was great and the cob salad with seared ahi was too. Large portions and an inviting atmosphere this is a win if you're in the area. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars was the lack of water service until the end of our dinner.

The amazing location of this place and its delicious food make it a top tier restaurant. This place is a very short walk from the pier/beach which is ideal. I think they do the classic beach-related food items really well. The fish in the fish and chips had great crispiness on the outside and tender fish in the inside. The clam chowder was tasty and did not have an overpowering creaminess to it. The fish in the blackened oregon rockfish dish had perfect tenderness and paired well with the mashed potatoes. The rock'n scampi was not bad but not as strong as the other dishes described in this review. Overall, great go-to place for seafood when in Manhattan Beach.

The rockfish, mashed potato and green bean dish was exquisite. The cold IPA off the tap was noteworthy! Ambience was S. Cal Pacific beach casual finesse with class and quality.

I saw reviews rave about the spicy mac and cheese and like a little kid, I love the stuff. The mac and cheese here with the spice was fine, but it seemed like velveeta cheese is used or that is the consistency. No solid cheese added with the mac in addition, and I feel like this would up their game as a casual not so casual food critic. But, if so many others are crazy about it, then it's better to keep it as is. I also had the rockfish. Grilled and seasoned so well, fresh green beans, quality mash potatoes that seemed like they were made from scratch. It was real busy here on Mother's Day naturally, my time was kind of short, so I just decided to take out. Clean restaurant.

I brought my friend visiting from Hong Kong here since I wanted to take her around the beach area and she's pescetarian. After searching for spots, this place looked the most promising, and it did not disappoint! The fish was cooked perfectly and the sides were packed with great flavors. We both loved it. Plus, the staff was super accommodating when we asked to sit under the warmers (we were definitely cold girlies that day!). I'd definitely come back again, maybe for a date night or brunch with friends next time.

Came here for the first time to try out their DineLA Restaurant Week special lunch menu. Loved that each reservation at any participating restaurant supports LA wildfire relief. Unfortunately, the food that I tried here was nothing remarkable . The fish tacos lacked a lot of flavor and seasoning. The taco was also very wet and soggy- the tortilla didn't hold up well. However, I will note that the location is beautiful- only steps away from the ocean.

Here from NY. Fell into this place. Outside front patio which was nice but fighting off too many flies. A block away from the pier. Nice menu. Ordered sour dough which was amazing, warm and crunchy Broccoli side. Fish tacos and a diner side salad (comes with it). 2 sauces one of which was a little spicy. If felt the tacos just needed more flavor. A lime slaw topping would have been nice. My friend had a Caesar salad with chicken. Good size portions. Humongous bar inside. Very clean restrooms. Moderate prices. Good service

Service was phenomenal Ambience was good and the food fantastic. The fish melted in my mouth, and the risotto perfectly cooked. I would definitely come back to this spot.

It was a great experience. Fast service, quick on drinks and appetizers, delicious food, and great drinks. Waited to be seated for a bit because we wanted to sit by the road to people watch. Will visit again!!

Stopped here to eat during a beach walk and I'm so happy I did! I love this cute place. It is nothing like what you would think from the outside. There's plenty of seating and a really cute bar. I love how they have it decorated for the holidays. The service is great, and the food is okay too.

Exceptional! Soooo good decided to come back again tonight. Loved the chilled crab legs and chopped salad!

The food is always so fresh since they're celebrating their 25th anniversary I was able to keep the glass. Thank you!

Paid meter parking was easy and right next the restaurant. I came here with an old friend. The food was okay. Nothing truly special but the food was edible. The sword fish was okay and a little bland. The jambalaya was not with the traditional red sauce, which was ok but also a little bland and we didn't finish it. Service was good. Overall, just an okay experience. We sat facing the outside so we saw the sunset which was pretty.

I came Rock'N Fish for dinner at the meeting. Good service here and need reservation. It was a bit disappointing that our seats were not very comfortable near the entrance and chili evening. I chose asparagus and potatoes as garnish for bracken Halibut. Halibut's taste is a little unsatisfactory. I liked the place where the restaurant is.

Wrapped up our weekend trip with happy hour on the Manhattan Beach Pier. Rock'N Fish had the best happy hour so we made a reservation. When we arrived, a few tables in the patio were occupied but it was otherwise very quiet on a Monday at 4. Our server Jill was right over to take our drink orders. Although we were not in a rush to order food, we were conscious of the end time for HH being 5pm. I started with a Navy Grog rum cocktail, served in a tiki glass. It included crushed ice, which made the straw less than effective. I really enjoyed this tropical cocktail and the first one went down so fast, I had to have a second! Husband ordered a Big Wave beer, not noticing there were only a couple of drafts on special for HH. When I asked if he was sure, our server gave him two chances to switch but he stuck with his original order till the second beer. The IPA and mexican lager on HH, with wine and the rum punch, are about it. It seemed to make our server uncomfortable that we weren't in a hurry. So, eventually we ordered second drinks and snacks. I can't resist a grilled artichoke, and the oak grilled one here is yummy. And the garlic aioli accompaniment was amazing. I asked for a spicy remoulade that I saw on a nearby table's platter, and our server brought me that to try as well. I could eat this dish every week! I also ordered two jumbo prawn cocktail style. My husband ordered the chowder cup (a bowl but not deep) and one more giant shrimp. The shrimp were cold and crisp, steamed then chilled to perfection. The cocktail sauce was appropriately zippy. The chowder was creamy and delicious. Truly no complaints!

in regards to the service, ambiance, and overall vibes, everything at Rock N Fish was immaculate. a super fun date location, or if just hanging with friends. however the food was just okay. 7/10. peruvian scallops were good, not as tasty as Saffy's, but i'd def order again. We also ordered a surf n turf with a medium rare steak, but it was cooked well-done :~( as well as the mac n cheese (bland and also over baked) since I'm too shy to complain, and we didn't wanna wait for the food to cook again, so we just ate it. lobster was good, would definitely order that again too. and the oysters were scrumptious! I suppose if we came back here, we would just stick to the seafood.

Wonderful service by Kristen wheeler. Food was amazing , fresh fish and wonderful sourdough. Definitely go here !

What an incredible experience!! My first time having lunch by Manhattan beach, wanna give a shout out to my server Lindy for taking my order and being very kind and a HUGE shout out to the expo Jesus willing to drop anything to make sure I was comfortable and had what I needed. Food was delicious and served quickly! Everything was clean and the vibes were astounding. Will be coming back very soon :)

Clam chowder, blackened halibut with two sides. The chowder has lots of clams and nice flavour but lukewarm at best! Disappointing at this price point Halibut had nice flavour not overpowering on the blackened. Maybe tad overdone Service was excellent and suggested good sides and attentive Ambiance casual but very attractive. Huge bar Would I come back? Yes 4 star due to the soup and slightly over done halibut.

Great addition to Manhattan Beach restaurant line up! Large menu that accommodates everyone. The bar and high tops are so inviting as well as the entire wait staff. I will be back!

The food and experience here was amazing. We had the Ceaser, crab cakes, spicy Mac and cheese, French fries which were all five stars. And a space brain beer. The fish tacos were not as good but still good x. The service was excellent

Fresh fish cooked perfectly! Staff friendly and service great - prices up there, but hey, they're right off the beach!

My best friend and I enjoyed this place for a night away from the kids! For drinks, we had a painkiller and an espresso martini. We were happy both drinks were not too light on the alcohol! The painkiller was good, but the espresso martini was really good! We had a light meal with the brussels sprouts and tuna nachos. The nachos were excellent! The servers were very friendly, but maybe it was just too busy as drinks were not refilled promptly and we had to ask for the check after waiting for quite some time for our server to return. We loved the decor and atmosphere. I especially liked the etched windows and mermaid pictures.

Best grilled artichokes and Kona pie. Ambiance by the beach with outdoor dining..Sean the manager is so helpful as well as the friendly wait staff. Highly recommend!

Scallops were very fresh, shrimp and ribs were good, beer is ok. Service was really good, our server Paige was very great! Ambience is more family friendly unlike most restaurant bars around with options for large groups.

Good food, good portion size, priced perfectly. Sat in the front, not a bad seat in the house, but I thought the bar area was a cool spot. Started with the sour dough bread. Seafood jambalaya was excellent, as was the salmon sandwich, we also tried the tacos, and the lobster roll (ct style) was a good portion. Definitely try the Kona Pie. My only feedback is I was looking for a bigger variety on both their food and drink menu, despite both menus having a lot of options.

Great place to have a Instagram worthy meal because it's located right by Manhattan Beach! The ambiance was lively & busy. The servers were kind & fast. Coconut Mahi Sliders 7.5/10: was a bit pricey for 3 sliders & was advertised as a shareable meal for $22. Perhaps if there was one more slider it would have been a more of an equal share among two people. They were tasty, but could have used a bit more crunch & coconut for the breaded mahi King Salmon 8/10: delicious! The salmon was cooked beautifully, the honey broccoli was great. The honey compliments the bitterness of the broccoli! The mashed potatoes were tasty as well. Great dish Creme Brle 8.5/10: the sugar on top was perfect, however, the custard inside was a bit cold. Other than that the flavors were there & very tasty Overall a great place for a large gathering or for a more intimate date! Definitely would visit again to try other dishes.

I enjoyed their steak and their fish and chips. It is also nice to walk off the meal afterwards at the beach nearby

Love this cool bar in Manhattan Beach Mike helped me at the bar and made me yummy drinks to continue the day the location is perfect right near the beach
