"The Strand House’s food is fine. Some of it might even border on being quite good. But it doesn’t matter, because that’s not why you’re here. You’re here for that view. Located in a giant three-story building with unobstructed ocean views in Manhattan Beach, you’re not going to find much better sights than The Strand House’s. Sitting in the main dining room and watching the sunset with a margarita in one hand and hamachi crudo in the other is something we could do every day for the rest of our lives." - Brant Cox
"A dinner-focused spot recommended for planning an evening around sunset, known for ocean-view dining and a menu that pairs a coastal setting with well-regarded food." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.

"In the wise words of Taylor Swift, "haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate..." Okay, so El Segundo isn't technically a 'beach city' (no resident of ES can claim 'beachside property'), but we have a beach! So hate all you want, but while you visit our stretch of beach, make sure to visit the new cafe and enjoy the scenery." - Eat.Sleep.Work.
"The Strand House’s two-level dining room is something to behold with a 180-degree view of the Pacific. Though the menu leans heavily towards seafood, be sure to order the buttermilk roll, wood-fired pizzas, and a rack of lamb with a green olive and caper mint relish." - Eater Staff
"The thing about The Strand House is the food is fine. Some of it might even border on being quite good. But it doesn’t matter, because that’s not why you’re here. You’re here for that view. And residing in a giant three-story building with unobstructed ocean views, you won’t find a better one than at The Strand House. Sitting in that main dining room and watching the sunset with a margarita and plate of hamachi crudo is something we could do every day for the rest of our lives.
