Hostess was very welcoming when we arrived and Barbara our waitress was very good. Oysters very good, Blossoms were excellent, Coffee rubbed steak was well seasoned but not sure it was middle rare as ordered. Twice baked potato very good. My wife had the grilled shrimp appetizer for her main course which wasn’t very good. Manager was nice to come over to apologize.

I've enjoyed everything I've eaten here, everything I come. That is to say the food is really fantastic. Maybe the scallops are saltier than I prefer, but not by much. Incredible service and bartender.

Slay is tasty and nice. Good place to eat and drink. Fancy restaurant

I went to this restaurant for the first time in mid 2024 and the experience was amazing. Steaks are good and cooked perfectly according to your preference. A good selection of wine too. I came back to this place again last night and all the food are perfect as usual. Our server was amazing too. I hope to come back to this place again soon.

Wish I could give this place 10 Stars! I Had an amazing experience when I came to dine here for dinner from the moment I walked in the door. The food was delicious and hot, and they timed each portion of my meal perfectly. I had an amazing server but I also felt like I had 5 amazing servers as different people checked on me throughout the night from my server, to other servers, one of the chefs and even the General Manager stopped by for a conversation. Hospitality was crazy good and I can’t wait to visit again soon! Shout out to that team!

Good people. The service here was top notch. It's ran like a family owned business, and the family has a great heart. David Slay was at the restaurant greeting every table. I was truly impressed.

Slay in Manhattan Beach – A Delightful Experience Slay in Manhattan Beach delivered an excellent dining experience with great drinks, delicious food, and thoughtful service. We started with a spritz, a nice wine selection, and a Porto wine for dessert, all well-paired and enjoyable. For the appetizer, we ordered the smoked salmon pancakes, which originally came with two, but since we were a table of three, they kindly added a third—arranged like a Mickey Mouse, which was a fun and thoughtful touch! The service was attentive and accommodating. For the entrée, I had the sea bass, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor—savory and satisfying. Overall, the combination of great food, drinks, and hospitality made for a wonderful evening. Definitely a spot worth revisiting!

Slay's Steak and Fish House is an absolute pleasure. The decor is classy yet comfortable and the service is impressive. Their Rack of Lamb and Ribeye Steaks are excellent as well as the Caprese Salad and the Lump Crab Cakes. They offer a very good selection of wines also. We love their Slay ll pino noir from Santa Rita Hills, it pairs perfectly with the lamb and steak and is easy on the palate by itself. We will definitely be making another visit. Thank you to the chef and staff for making our anniversary special!

Overall, we had a nice birthday dinner at this restaurant. The restaurant itself is very cute and cozy, they also have outdoor seating. Inside has a very Manhattan beach-like decor. Strangely they were playing music from the '60s '70s and '80s.. maybe was trying to give the beach town vibe. The menu itself is quite extensive. We went for the sea bass special, the chicken parmesan, The fish cake and the filet mignon tip appetizers. All were quite good, with the filet mignon tip appetizers being a nice and delicious surprise. Service was decent. The reasons for not giving a full five stars are the very high prices for the wine glass options and the beer options. Frankly, they are overpriced by $4 to $7. Also, the staff... Including the manager knew it was my birthday and did nothing special for it. Earlier in the morning I ate at a local breakfast spot and the owner came over and gave me a free scone. So if you're coming here, expecting to celebrate a special occasion, come with no expectations.

Dined at Slays for Valentines. Had the good fortunate of having Barbie as our server. Excellent food as usual especially the squash blossoms. Barbie just made our dining experience even better. Such a sweet and friendly server.

This restaurant was on my list to try and I finally tried it and it was lovely. They had amazing unique entrees, drinks, and desserts. The service was remarkable. Paulo, our waiter was so kind, personable, funny, accommodating, and caring, and made sure our first time was enjoyable. Great atmosphere with nice modern decor. We had the warm salad, Caesar salad, butter rolls, stuffed pork chop, chicken Parmesan, banana nut bread with peaches, and several cocktail drinks. Their coffee martini was delicious. The manager was very nice too. They serve a twisted baked potato but I don't like cheese so she had the cooks make my baked potato normal without the other ingredients. The bartender was friendly and made sure our drinks were delightful. Note: Around the corner from the restaurant is the Manhattan Pier and beach. Indoor and outdoor seating. They are only open for four hours daily (5pm-9pm) and have several different sister restaurants within walking distance from each other. Parking can be challenging but they have parking structures and parking on the street.

Absolutely 5 stars around!! This has been in my bookmark for quite sometime so I tried it and it was BOMB!! I love the atmosphere in Manhattan Beach so I had no complaints with the ambience. It was cute inside and a nice outing! I had the Chicken Parmesan for my entree, Caesar salad which was all phenomenal one of the best dish of chicken Parmesan I had in a while!! I highly recommend this option for your entree and the Caesar as a starter!!! My drinks were very good and tasty! The bartender was marvelous! Made me the best expresso martini and Hennessy sidecar ! No error with the ingredients at all!! So for the customer service! Everyone was attentive and very nice! The manager was accommodating with my sister order, and Paulo our server was so chill and down to earth! They have 4 other sister restaurant within the same block! I definitely want to try the rest after SLAY being so delicious! I highly recommend here and I will be back here ! They have plenty of street parking, but it does get busy! -Marshay

Quaint spot with beautiful decor. Little details in everything like the pseudo set up of glassware with "S" or "Slay". Menu is the perfect size that captures something for everyone. The service was on point - wait time, spacing between food, and details of specials. I would come back for another date night. It's a cozy and lovely spot to dine.

Yuk to today. What have they hired. I want to feel at home but can't.jrjrjdjndndndnrnrnrnnirjrjndndr

Slay Steak + Fish House in Manhattan Beach is a standout dining destination that expertly combines a modern vibe with classic steakhouse elegance. The interior is chic and inviting, making it perfect for both special occasions and casual dining. The ribeye is exceptionally tender and flavorful, while the selection of fresh seafood, like the grilled octopus and pan-seared scallops, showcases the restaurant's versatility. It's definitely worth a visit for anyone in the area!

Hands down top five restaurants in Manhattan Beach. A classy joint without feeling stuffy. The service was top notch and the food was even better. We sat inside and ordered the Ribeye and Chicken Parmigiana with zero regrets.

Came here on a whim and loved it. Service is excellent, the steak bites and charred greens were delicious. We also had the fish special which was also lovely and we will definitely return

Had Xmas holiday dinner here with the family and it was sooo bad. returned two entrees. They came back out the same super salty. The staff was not helpful and I cant recommend going to this restaurant again. The other Slay Italian was much better.

This was an awesome impromptu birthday dinner find! We savored every bite of every item we ordered. The charred shrimp, satori oysters, red snapper and dover sole were all so delicious! I am very picky with my fish and this simply one of the best. The service was excellent and we are definitely going back to try additional menu items!

WOW! Incredible service, incredible food, incredible drinks, and incredible dessert! Everything is incredible here, down to the twice baked potatoes. I ordered the peppered flat iron steak, subbing the seasonal corn risotto for the fries. I am usually a filet girlie, but WOW I will be dreaming about this steak for months. The tomahawk was also incredible and plenty to split between 3-4 people. Highly recommend ordering an old fashioned, espresso martini, or sambuca. And don't skip the dessert! The tart was a favorite at our table. The crust was a little hard on the banana cream pie.

I don't know what to say. The staff is very friendly. The food was.......Bad. Totally under seasoned. The squash blossoms were overpowered by lemon. The rack of lamb only tasted of black pepper, the rice was undercooked, and the salmon tasted fishy. My wife left feeling ill. The vibe was stiff in the restaurant. Dark walls and weird paintings. They need to step up. What's the point of selling expensive cuts of meat if you don't know how to properly prepare it?

First time dining at Slay Steak & Fish restaurant in Manhattan Beach but definitely not my last! The restaurant is small but instead of feeling crowded it feels very cozy and comfortable. The food, filet for myself and sea bass for my daughter, was delicious and attractive. Service was prompt and friendly but never pushy. A five star experience for sure!

There is no parking other than on the street where Meter Maids patrol as if they worked at The Shoe at Pelican Bay. If you find a spot that doesn't require a Bird or an Uber then buy a lottery ticket because you're on a roll. Once you secure your sled, make your way to Slay. It's a handsome black box in the middle of the Manhattan melee. Go inside, it's dark, serene, and calm, except for the buzzin' wait staff. The space is small with an 8 seat Bar anchoring the entrance. An overhead Flat Screen dominates the room. Hey, it's Manhattan Beach. Conversation? Only during commercials. A partition separates the Sports Bar front from the fine dining back dimly lit for the half lit diners. Think of this place as a civilized MB Post without Cheddar Cheese Biscuits. Who goes there? Locals who don't care about Meter Maids and can easily afford a sitter on a Wednesday. The Staff: Manned by relaxed Manhattanites. No complaints on this side of the experience. The Bar Program: The Bar is full, and fills up fast with only 8 seats. If you choose a Bar table they are barely large enough to hold two Parker House Rolls. Prepare to juggle. In the meantime, Cocktails, Beer and Wine await. My Maple Spice Sour had all three tastes playing nice together. Bullet Bourbon, Amaretto, Real Maple Syrup and Egg Whites which I forgot to ask the server to hold. Egg whites bring little to the drink party and then what do they do with the Yolks? No matter, as a riff on a Whiskey Sour it was a deep well done well. The Roederer Redemption had Empress Gin, Lemon Juice, Blueberry Champagne Syrup, and Roederer Champagne. This drink was so memorable, I can't remember drinking it but as I write about it, it sounds good and I hope it was. The Food: Parker House Rolls to sop up anything laying around. These warm yeasty little beasties did their job. A Spinach Salad was nicely done too. Peppered Bacon Bits, a healthy sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese, Fried Garlic Chips, Herbed Bread Crumbs and a warm Vinaigrette. You could put all that on a Bust Bunny and this dish would be a dinner winner. A lovely Crab Cake showed up next. Remember that the table is sooo small that dinner comes out one small late at a time. The Crab Cake was just Crab formed into a little cute cake with no filler. Delicious. It was nestled on a bed of Apple slivers, Shaved Fennel, and a dollop of Remoulade. Wonderful, even if you're allergic to crab...get some. If I get back here I'm having mine and yours. The Steak Frites (Flat Iron Steak) was cut into 4 strips the size of Stephan Curry's fingers. The steak was settled on a mound of French Fries with a serious pour of Peppercorn Sauce which turned the whole thing into a Poutine, (read, soggy mess). The menu boasted House Made Ketchup which tasted like it was made in the Heinz House. Ketchup is, after all, just ketchup. Something to dip a fry into because it's expected or scrub out of your shirt if you can. So, skip the limp fries and spear that steak, which despite a mystery chew or two, was actually pretty good. Hide those unchewable wads in the center of the left over Parker House Roll. Finally, a fat Stuffed Pork Chop appeared. It was packed with a mush of Granny Smith Apples, Golden Raisins, a glop of Sourdough Bread and then drizzled with Soy Sauce and Molasses to make sure nothing was unmushed. Yup, there was a lot going on. Once I scraped off the innards and the glazes the chop was not a flop and ate well. Slay has a slew of spots spread around town that all mimic his flagship Park Ave. and IL Garage in Stanton. None of them slay me, but they are all decent in their own way.

Great food Awesome ambiance Service top shelf South Bay prices, $$$$, but expected. Great bar scene Parking can be tricky but again expected. Eat it!

Im not the type to leave any review, but this is the exact place that words are not enough to describe the experience ! Let me start here, the food was just outstanding, and while that is great, when you have the chef/owner walk out in his white nikes and shake everyones hand, now that is touching! Then when he was walking down, he came across his employees and patted his shoulder, acknowledging his hard work. They have their own wine/ winery in santa barbara and i was thinking, the owner probably enjoys his life with his wife making wine, they I see him walking out in his white Nike's just being a regular guy! Thats how I know the world is not gonna end because of people's dedication to the world! let this be my most meaningful yelp review!

The baked avocado was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was sweet and friendly. I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant

My girlfriend was excited to try Slay on her birthday. We made a late reservation (9pm), I noticed that google said they closed at 9pm so I called to verify that they would be open. They assured me that they would be open and that the kitchen would take our food orders. After driving across LA to the restaurant and arriving at 9pm we were told the kitchen was closed. Such a disappointment. The restaurant was decorated nicely and staff was nice.

Food was absolutely delicious! I had the Mediterranean sea bass and it was sooo good!! The seating a little tight but we still enjoyed our meal and our waitress was a little mature and a little slow but that was overlooked as the food was amazing!

This review is way overdue. Staff is super nice and very accommodating. I made the reservation on Open table. When we arrived to the restaurant they could not find us. After checking for a few minutes they told me that I made reservation ok Slay Italian kitchen instead but fortunately they were able to accommodate us right away. We were seated outside but it was ok because the have a lot of heaters to keep us really warm. I ordered the 5 spices salmon. As soon as I had the first bite I knew I was going to eat all maybe in 5 minutes . I don't remember what my fiend had but it looked delicious. We shared the apple tart and finished it all. We drank a lot of wine too!! And I had tea at the end.

I'm not sure when Darens closed but Slay is a nice addition to Manhattan Beach. The menu here is not large but everything is fine really well. -mussels were really good. Loved the sauce. -swordfish special was ok. I think it could've used a tad more salt/flavor. -crab cake was excellent Staff was friendly and patient with our young daughter.

I was a little thrown off by the name Slay...let me just say I am not that trendy, so was a tad apprehensive. With that said this place was fantastic! And the reason for the name is because they have their own winery. So of course we had to try it, we were not disappointed! The wine was fruit forward and medium bodied. We ordered the steak, sole, and oysters and all three were perfect. The sauce on the ribeye was delicate and complimented the meat. And the sole was out of this world. I would happily take a bath in that lemon, garlic butter! We will definitely return for another date night!

Slay did not slay. I came here with my husband and family for his birthday and ordered the Chilean sea bass. They tried to pass off a branzino as the sea bass. I actually like branzino but when I order a Chilean sea bass and pay for a Chilean sea bass, that is what I expected. It's a shame as the service was good and the rest of the meal was great but both of us who ordered sea basses at our table could not get past the duplicity.

Underwhelming. Made reservations for 2 but the table they gave us was behind the hostess? It felt like we were at a sports bar instead of nice restaurant so we finished our drinks and went to MB Post instead

There's a good amount of seating in this establishment and the interior looks really nice. I thought the food was good but nothing spectacular. I went in thinking the steak would be great but it was just good. It's a bit pricey but I'm glad I tried it. Service was outstanding and we got checked on regularly.

Meh, over priced for mediocre food...ordered 4 fish dinners , every dish was meh, except for the salmon. our friends were town from Texas, "treated" them to slay, I'll likely never return based on our first experience at any Slay restaurant. I'd rather cook at home, save your $$$$

The experience here at SLAY was amazing. We had just gotten married the day before so this was our very first dinner as husband and wife. We were not disappointed at all. So, yes, I had chosen the most perfect restaurant to go. Not only was the ambiance perfect...but the service! Jose was such a great server, from giving us recommendations to allowing us to enjoy the food and really take in the whole experience. The food was incredible. One the best dishes of our lives. We are 100% coming back and perhaps visiting other SLAY locations as well!! Thank you for everything (the owner also came by the see how our table was doing and ended up giving up a complimentary dessert).

First, I'll admit I've know David and Gayle Slay for a long time and his artistry has never wavered. My first visit to his steak house was due to a random run in with David yesterday and he said "where are you eating?" Duh. Starting with great cocktails and the chicken liver patè. I'm already in Paris.... Next great wine and his iron steak with peppercorn save and hand cut fries. Try his Slay wines and all the fresh veggies like the flash fried greens. Service was handled by Art and his staff and the space is date night beautiful. Super fun night, thank you all!

My mom can't stand loud restaurants so we decided to seat outside, which worked out nicely for us. It was a beautiful day to seat outside and the heat lamp kept us warm throughout our meal. My sister in law loved the Panko Crusted Filet of Sole, my mom wasn't too impressed with her filet mignon (it was rather dry), Prime New York Steak was a hit, and the Cape Cod Scallops were really a bit too salty. Deviled Eggs with Bacon was good, but I found the bacon to be a bit too chewy and way too salty for my taste. Both the chocolate Molten Cake and Apple Crumble were scrumptious. Our drinks were all good. Overall experience was good and our wait staff was awesome. I just wished their foods weren't so tongue numbingly salty.

The food here is always amazing! Great service. At times I like to pop in and just sit at the bar to eat and enjoy a good martini! The bartenders are great!

We love Manhattan Beach so any excuse to go there is always great! We tried Slay about two weeks ago and loved every about it! The restaurant itself is gorgeous and the service is top-notch. The raw bar is incredible with many different types of oysters and shellfish. The iceberg wedge salad was fantastic and we loved the chopped pepper bacon. The panko crusted filet of sole was delicious and we loved the citrus wine sauce and fresh veggies. We also enjoyed the flat iron steak. The wine selection was excellent and we can't wait to bring our friends back!

Came here for date night before walking around Manhattan Beach during the sunset. I'm always a bit skeptical of $$$ places -- the higher than average prices I feel like don't always meet expectations for value. BUT, not at Slay. This place is AWESOME and really hits a number of important notes: great food, thoughtful service, beautiful setting. We started with the stuffed squash blossoms which are freakin great. Unique and a little decadent. Then, we had the seafood platter starter that came with oysters, shrimp and crudo. All fresh, all delicious, but also beautifully presented. She had crab cakes -- very tasty-- while I had a filet mignon which was perfectly cooked. The sides, a baked potato and broccoli were both sooo much better than normal potatoes and broccoli and I'm not even sure I know why. That, and Jose our server was super good and accommodating while the owner/manager was also delightful. The inside is beautiful.

Came first time on Fathers Day for dinner and was excited to try. I'm gonna jump right into it. Appetizer- calamari (which was a special) was probably one of the worst Ive ever had or been presented. Soft, clearly a reheat, rubbery and tiny rounds. The "tartar" sauce was 99% mayo. This was abysmal. (F) The wedge salad- The blue cheese dressing was watery and not thick; pretty subtle taste-wise too, not bad but could be much better. (C+) Ok, onto the entrees: Pan seared seabass (a special) was clearly the best item. Tasty, and nice mashed potatoes tasty pieces underneath. This dish was just about perfect (A). I opted for the panko crusted dover sole...this was awful. The "crusting" was falling off the top, the inside was undercooked and like runny eggs, which is common for undercooked sole. The "veggies" on the side? Reheated lifeless cauliflower bits, and I think 1 or 2 tiny pieces of broccoli stems. (D) Steak over fries (my sons dish) again lukewarm, he loved it. I sampled some wasnt impressed. Fries would be ok....if fried and served quickly. It was so-so. Homemade ketchup is good, albeit less than 1/3rd of cup filled with it. Id grade it a B- at best. And where's the peppercorn sauce listed on the menu? Barely any had to look through some fries to see evidence underneath. Onto desert: Chocolate lava cake. Wife wanted to order or else was predicting another reheat, and...yes prediction came true. Taste ok, freshness not quite. (C+) Not a snob, but can easily differentiate quality food and fresh or nuked. Its a blessing and unfortunately, a curse most of the time. 2 star food in general, besides the good pan fried sea bass. Upping 1 star for Colin's great service and apologizing for sole by taking off bill. I just left as an additional tip closing out a gift card and wont be back here anytime soon.

This was a really nice find in Manhattan Beach. Parking is a bit difficult especially during dinner time just because there are a ton of different spots that attract people. But I do recommend checking out SLAY. I got their Prime Ribeye Steak with Onion Rings and Sautéed Mushrooms. The first bite of the steak was a concentration of pure flavor. You could really taste the way the seasoned the meat and the fattiness of the ribeye really brought everything together. The onion rings and mushrooms were pretty standard but were a pleasant addition to the main course. For dessert, I got the lava cake. Not all places make lava cakes the right way so it's always good to find the spots that do. SLAY was able to keep the gooey chocolate center so when I cut through the cake, the chocolate started oozing out...as it should be. To drink, I got the Priest Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon which was great with the steak. They have a good variety of red wine and other adult beverages. The wait staff was very kind, professional, and patient. I also recommend making a reservation or getting there early because not too long after it open did the crowd start rolling in. The inside is not too big so there aren't a lot of tables. The ambience is very nice and is perfect for a date night.

I cannot think of any restaurants with as good of food as this one. I know it is a bit pricey, but there is a reason for that. The food and the service are just amazing, with a cozy, upscale ambiance. We especially love the squash blossoms (which are a seasonal item)! They also have these incredible beer, battered onion rings, along with some of the best fish we've ever had. This evening gave me a whole new level of respect for this restaurant. We were seated outside, and a homeless lady asked if we could buy her a cup of coffee. We said of course, and asked the restaurant to get her a latte (they make incredible ones). They sat her at a table, and they also brought her some food on the house. A little while later, one of the busers at the restaurant came out and gave her money. Mr. Slay, himself, was at the restaurant and even came out to check in on her and on us. I highly recommend this wonderful place! On a final note, Barb is the best waitress we've ever had.

This restaurant is more intimate than I expected. Our server was very patient and friendly. I'm pregnant so I had to get the steak a little more cooked than I normally would like. They still made it very tender and juicy. Twice baked potato is delicious, creamy yet still got the potato texture. Seasonal veggies is broccolini which is one of my favorite. Very well-seasoned on everything. Dinning ambiance feels pretty casual, nice but not too formal.

I was extremely disappointed with this restaurant. My husband and I decided to celebrate Valentine's Day a day early to avoid the crowds. He made a 7:30 reservation here. When we arrived at exactly 7:30, we were told by Anne that the only available table was this teeny tiny table that was located in the bar area of the restaurant. We saw other empty tables but she told us they were reserved for others who had a reservation. Well, we had a reservation too but she wouldn't seat us at the other tables. She told us it would take at least 15 minutes for us to get seated at another table. It's too bad that they don't honor reservations. We walked out and found a much better restaurant.

A fine dining place in a very nice street. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and the manager is so much into details thus running a very nice restaurant. The food is perfect, I ordered rib eye steak, it was perfectly done with broccolini and potatoes.. thanks god I ordered the sauce on side, it was very peppery and too spicy for me.

What a wonderful place! Such lovely attentive employees, especially Jose. He provided exceptional service. We had a party of 14 and I can't even explain how well we were taken care of. From the second we walked in we all felt so welcomed. Food was amazing! Can't wait to go back! Definitely our new favorite spot for dinner!

Manhattan Beach. Does it get much better. Let's start this out by saying this was an extraordinarily fabulous experience. It began with the great company of a close friend who I haven't seen in a while. RESTAURANT // Authentic pillar candles placed inside of thick glass sconces lit the way to your table, enhanced your dining experience and created a memorable ambience. During the week (weekends it is expanded) they have a sizable outdoor area that is handicap accessible as well. They have done an extraordinarily well planned "patio experience" that includes a portion off of the street. This is a very well defined area. There are physical barriers that are up to ensure the safety of those dining. You will hear the ambience of the music coming from the interior of the restaurant. The interior decorator who is now the exterior decorator. Has gone to great lengths to bring the ambience of the inside to the outside. She was extremely successful in parlaying a storybook lit outdoor dining experience. There are topiary trees, there are plants, there are lanterns, there are candles and outdoor heating elements to keep you warm to name a few. It really changes your dining experience. Personally I wish they would be able to keep this forever. The tables are more than ample to accommodate a party of four or more. I have sat in some restaurants where you're very cramped with two people at a table. You're not going to run into this problem here. PERSONNEL // Upon arrival, I accidentally walked into the restaurant to confirm my reservation, the staff was incredibly polite and appropriate in redirecting me to the host stand outside. I was greeted by the General Manager ~ Johann. And I must share with you what a wonderful individual this person is. He was very authentic in his conversation, very accommodating in the seating and you can tell he has a genuine enthusiasm for this restaurant. He is very well versed in many topics and the conversation while I was waiting for my friend was delightful. Our server ~ Anjelica could not have been more on point. Her timing was impeccable, her knowledge of the menu, surrounding area and her friendliness only complimented Slay. For every question I had, she had the correct answer. She was absolutely adorable and has a fantastic memory. She quickly remembered all the details of our order . . . without a pen and paper. We never had to request a single thing. Her intuitive timing was impeccable. Personally, I could not have asked for better service. I will definitely request her on my next visit. FOOD // We began with an appetizer of their Lobster Mac and Cheese. it was incredible! It was the perfect balance of lobster, cheesy creaminess and a crispy crust. Every bite had a piece of each of this in it. They definitely don't skimp on the ingredients. For my entrée I chose the filet mignon, which I must say has probably been the best filet mignon I've had in over 10 years. It was perfectly seared on the outside, the medium rare that I ordered was exactly medium rare & it was accompanied with green beans that were cooked to perfection. They were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Not under cooked and not overcooked. A twice baked potato was as it should be. Golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside and moist, creamy and flavorful on the inside. My friend had their ribeye. He wasn't able to completely finish it. It was also accompanied with green beans and a twice baked potato. I am usually not a restaurant/dessert person.... Who am I kidding of course I am. I just try not to be. This time I did order a dessert. Angelica suggested the banana cream pie. Holy Moley! Get it if it's offered. The dessert was outstanding. The pastry chef, her pie crust was the best that I've seen/tasted in over 17 years. The combination of light flakiness was flawless. You can always tell when an individual is truly doing what they love because their product is beyond unami. And that's what this is. The presentation on both were stunning. Simple, elegant and tasteful. His flourless cake came with whipped cream and was adorned with fresh raspberries. RESTROOMS // The restrooms are accessible through the restaurant towards the kitchen area. The restrooms are unisex, single rooms and there are two of them. They were very clean, fully stocked and well lit. KITCHEN AREA // As I walked through the restaurant to access the restrooms, I glanced into the kitchen area, it was clean, well-kept, organized and free of any encumbrances. PARKING // Parking is street only. It is actively metered up until 9 PM. It's very well lit, and I encountered many locals going for evening walks with their children, families and pets. Slay has quickly become one of my favorite dining experiences and goes to the top of my list for places to dine in LA County. I'll absolutely be back soon. Thank you Johann & Anjelica for a memorable experience.

Annie is a great manager and she was very smoooth my son and I. We love that they have a nice TV with some sports. It is a nice distraction and adds a nice touch to this fine place. Wine by the glass list was superb btw.

I went here for my 31 birthday. The service was amazing and fast. I had the salmon, when I say it was perfect! It was for sure top 5 salmon dinners that I had! This place is a must try

Best ciopino I had in a very long time. Service was exceptional , nice ambiance, music was a little loud but it's ok, I was too focused on my food anyway.

Decided to break out of our usual mold, our stomping grounds of Hermosa, and schlep the extra mile, literally to MB and check out Slay Steak + Fish House which had been on my Yelp list for a while. It was what I had anticipated and I really enjoyed our dining experience! I made a reservation for two for a Friday night. We started off with cocktails (of course). I ordered the Salty Lips, refreshing and a good, strong drink! Definitely recommend! The hostess was friendly, and our server was very personable. Johan, the GM, as well as the owner, stopped by to say hello and checked in on us throughout our meal. The demographic is reflective of Manhattan Beach, more Boomers and affluence dressed smart casual but not pretentious. There's an elegant vibe throughout (outside along the sidewalk and parklet) with attention to detail from the pretty candleholder on our table scape, outdoor lighting which gave a warm, welcoming feel and a very clean restroom facility. The streamlined menu lists a few special entrees like the Chicken Pot Pie and Kurobuta Double Bone Pork Chop. We ordered and split the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake appetizer. It was just one cake, expensive but OMG worth it! All Maryland Blue Crab and no fillers. I miss Maryland Blue Crabs, so this was a nice surprise. We also said it was the BEST crab cake we had. We also decided to split our meals family style with a Kale Salad and Prime Rib dinner. The Kale Salad also featured charred shrimp and pretty watermelon radish which is uncommon and really delicious. Our Prime Rib Eye Steak needed just a touch more seasoning, but better than if it was too salty. Our medium prepped Rib Eye also came with twice-baked potato which was awesome, and the Spaghetti Squash which had a toasty unique texture and a nice complement to this entrée as well. No room for dessert but we'll definitely be back! This is a great place to try if you're visiting from out of town, to meet friends for dinner, and of course, a great date place to impress. Street metered parking.

Was strolling around town with my fiancée. Saw this place for the first time. It looked really classy and clean. Walked in for dinner, and I am completely blown away by the service and the FOOD. AMAZING. Started with the Crudo, Osyerters, and Crab Cake. Finished dinner with the RibEye Steak. And , WOW! Just wow. Phenomenal.

Fantastic place for fine food and atmosphere. Small setting and great feel. We got the fish stew (Cioppino) and the stuffed pork chop. Most amazing pork chop ever. Get Barbara as your server.. she is the BEST !

They have a nice outdoor dining setup for COVID-19 season and the tables were far enough apart that I felt safe. The service was great and the food was delicious. The owner even came out to greet us, which I thought made the experience more personal. The quail was my favorite dish of the night due to the perfect balance of the gamines from the quail, sweetness from the jam, and a hint of tartness from the fried tomato. The plating was nice but the fried tomato was very soggy sitting under the quail. The peppered steak was tender and juicy, while risotto was creamy and flavorful. However, the 5-spiced salmon fell flat for me, as the sweetness was a bit too overpowering, rendering the spices indiscernible. The brown rice was one-dimensional and didnt bring anything more to the dish. Overall, I appreciate the farm to table concept, but think some dishes can be more refined.
