Mediterraneo

I love this place!! I came here for a birthday party and its now my favorite spot! Not your typical cheesy South Bay restaurant. Great menu, wines you'll love and a great view. Dinner is wonderful and lunch on the weekend is worth it!! Its a definite must - plus, its the best mediterranean food you'll find in LA.

The food here is amazing. I don't think there is one bad thing on the menu, so no matter what you order, you can't go wrong here!!! The specialty martinis are great also. This is the best tapas restaurant I have been to. Friendly and fast service too.

Ok- to be fair, I don't even know if the 2 star rating is valid, because I didn't stay here long enough to eat.
The reason I decided to come here was because I was meeting up with a first date who lives in Redondo. But, when I looked around and noticed the great deal of spill-over from the Hermosa Beach Pier party scene, along with a good number of tourists, I decided this wasn't the place to have my first date.
Sure- if you're down at the HB Pier and want to go someplace a little more upscale than what surrounds it (Like Hennessy's, the Poopdeck, etc.), you may fare well, its just not the secluded out-of-the way tapas place to go for a first date...

IF YOU ARE IN THE SOUTH BAY, DONT MISS THIS SPOT. HERMOSA IS KNOW FOR ITS PARTIES AND BARS. FINALLY SOMEONE IS LEADING THE CHARGE IN FOOD! FUN AND WELL PRICED! GREAT SELECTION OF DRINKS TO COMBO WITH FOOD. ONLY DOWN FALL, SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE IN HERMOSA, BATHROOMS NEED SOME WORK!

Visited this establishment for the 1st time this past Friday evening with friends and a guest visiting from out of town and had a fabulous time. Took the time to make reservations - highly recommended because this place gets packed on the weekends - and specified an outside patio table which is really the way to go. There are heaters on the patio so no one got cold even though our reservations were for 7:45pm. We all ordered from the tapas menu and shared amongst ourselves. The portions were actually well-sized and very tasty. We ordered 1 or 2 per person and it was plenty for the entire group to graze on. There are a variety of cold and hot tapas to satisfy most tastes and as a vegetarian, I was very pleased with the number of meatless options. EXCELLENT PLACE to people watch whether you are checking out the rest of clientele at Mediterraneo or watching the maddening crowd surge down the Hermosa Pier -- really it is half the fun of going there. Highly recommended for an entertaining and tasty al fresco meal about as close to the beach as you can get.
