Manhattan Beach Post in Manhattan Beach

We were looking for brunch on the way back to San Diego from LAX. My husband found this place and it was a cute one! The brunch food is fusion style, kinda different than a regular brunch place. The foods are nicely cooked and beautifully plated. But I won’t say it’s very delicious, I might love the normal style brunch better which is more homey and hearty. But this place is definitely great for dating or friends gathering.

Monday night arrived at 8:30. Hostess politely informed us of a likely power outage in 30 minutes. Waitstaff was prompt, helpful and on target. He crossed off the items not possible due to the Grill being shut down in anticipation of power outage. He brought our appetizer quickly and was super attentive. We ordered the cheese bacon biscuits. Two Flavorful biscuits arrived with honey butter. They were filling. We then shared the scallops which for me were overpowered by the other ingredients. I prefer them a tad crispy on the outside which they were not. We ordered a side of the carrots but they were also killed by way too many other ingredients.

The second time back here after 6 months or so and everything was exactly as good as the last time! That statement means more than I can explain but Ill try - I travel all around the US for work and at 90% of the restaurants I like have deteriorated in the food quality, hence staying as good as I remembered it to be was a very pleasant surprise.

I love this place and go whenever I’m in town. They are within a few blocks of the ocean. I had the fried chicken and their specialty old fashion. The chicken was crispy and flavorful! The old fashion was top notch. I recommend this place to anyone who is ok spending a little money for a great experience!

This place has a cool vibe to it. The food is good but nothing too crazy but priced fairly. The way they send out food the timing is a little off I got my entree but it took 10 mins before my husband got his so waiting my food cooled down when his came out. Service is nice though.

Jared provided exceptional service! It was the best Ive ever experienced. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience, and he succeeded! The hanger steak with broccoli and the gboci were outstanding, and the bacon biscuits were a wow factor. Overall, a perfect 10/10! I highly recommend and will definitely return!

Manhattan Beach Post has been one of my favorite dining experiences of the last year. This fantastic Manhattan Beach restaurant focuses on shared plates ranging from starters including Chef David Lefevres bacon cheddar buttermilk biscuits served with whipped maple butter, a recipe Im told was his moms. Let me just say, shes a genius, and LeFevre isnt to shabby either. My family enjoyed the tapas-style format and for four of us we did well with 6 plates, though one was the Jidori chicken which is a larger portion meant for two. Along with the chicken we shared the aforementioned biscuits, tamarind naan, blue crab gnocci, pork arrabiata spaghetti, and sweet thai green beans with crispy pork. For my daughters birthday our very helpful and attentive server brought us an incredibly delicious toffee infused bread pudding with bourbon vanilla ice cream with a caramel reduction. If all of that wasnt enough, we had gin martinis that rival what we lovingly make at home.If you are looking for a delicious meal with friends or family in a lively, modern, tapas-style Manhattan Beach restaurant, this is the place for you. Cheers!

I love coming here.The ambiance is lovely, the staff are as well, and the food is top notch.I love some dishes more than others (to be expected anywhere), but my favs to date are the chimichanga, eggs Benedict, and the lobster avocado toast.I used to love a steak dish, but I can’t recall the name.Come here if you haven’t been before- you won’t be disappointed.Most recent visit 5/6/2023:*** Cinnamon roll (my friends order) 3.5-5 /5Warm spiced brioche smothered in citrus marscapone icing~The roll was huge! It was a glaze with citrus rind sprinkled on top. I thought the citrus was a nice touch, but that’s because I don’t love cinnamon rolls because I find them too sweet, so the citrus does a nice job breaking up the sweetness.- One of my friends loved this. She said the roll was delicious.- My other friend said this was meh. He said the roll wasn’t hot enough and that the citrus took away from the usual cinnamon flavor. Then again, his caveat is that he isn’t a huge sweet person, although he does like cinnamon rolls.*** Bay scallop ceviche 3/5Aji Amarillo leche de Tigre, cucumbers, shaved radish,purple sweet potato chips~I’ve had this before here and I thought it was great. This time, the bay scallops were a little strong flavored (if you get what I mean when I say fishy). It made me question whether I really liked it in the past or whether I was misremembering and then I realized, the last time I had it, they used large scallops. In general, the larger scallops have less of that strong flavor. None the less, if that flavor doesn’t bother you, then you might enjoy this dish more than I did.***** Carnitas Breakfast Chimichanga 5+/5all natural beeler’s pork shoulder, Oaxacan string cheese and scrambled eggs wrapped in flour tortilla and fried crispy, served with salsa roja, charro beans, house made escabeche~Wow! Get this! I’ve never had a breakfast version of a chimichanga. This has scrambled eggs in it as well as carnitas and cheese etc. It has a ton of flavors and the microgreens add a touch of freshness to it. This is fantastic***** Lobster avocado toast 5/5Poached eggs, fried garbanzos, sunflower sprouts, harissa vinaigrette, sunflower dukkah, sourdough~The lobster was succulent and flavorful. The bread was fantastic- it was soft, but held up well to the ingredients. I wouldn’t have guessed this was sourdough, as it was brown. I thought it was a wheat, but either way, yum. The rest of the toppings complemented the flavor of the lobster well

We had a one night layover in LA and wanted to pick the best restaurant closest to the airport so we chose the Post and we are so glad we did!! My husband said it best, when the fried chicken (which was AMAZING) is the least favorite thing you ate you know the restaurant is good. We started with the biscuits, then had the green beans, i need to stop here! GET the green beans!! The sauce is so good and the bacon 🤩. Next up we had the incredible crispy scalloped potatoes, then the fried chicken and last the spinach /pork spaghetti. The spaghetti was unlike any other. What a special restaurant this is!

Highly recommend this place. Food was phenomenal. Especially the sticky toffee cake. The green beans were delicious. Don’t leave without trying there famous biscuits. Service was top notch and they made me and husband anniversary date memorable.
