We’ve been here many times and unfortunately, each time is getting worse and worse. Went there tonight for my wife’s 50th birthday and the food was cold, the waitress never brought our drinks out and the whole experience pretty much sucked. Doubt we will be coming back here when there are so many other quality restaurants to go in the Riviera Village for better service and hot food.

We've been coming to this spot since it was Bouzy several years ago. While we weren't overly keen about the original order through the app at the table method, we understood the importance of it during COVID. Was glad to see that there are now servers instead. However... this place really needs to get it's business together. The last few times we visited, they were so short-staffed! There are never enough servers, and only 1 bartender (who had to double as a server) during a busy trivia night. I talked to one of the servers who told me this is a regular thing for them. And at our last visit last week, they were out of the lobster they've been advertising so much, they ran out of broccoli and corn, both of which are supposed to be sides on their menu. The lobster was also overcooked, unfortunately. The chef also oversalted a lot of things. When I was presented with the supposedly 1 pound lobster, and an "appetizer size" lobster was presented, I questioned it. They had actually planned on charging me for the 1 pounds lobster if I hadn't said anything. They finally admitted it was not the 1 pound lobster, and that it was this "appetizer" size. I don't understand how they'll stay in business given these things. If you don't hire the staff to serve people, you'll have angry customers who are less than thrilled about how long they have to wait. (Our drinks always seem to take FOREVER here.) Also, while they're out marketing Trivia Night, AYCE Lobster, Karaoke, etc., if you don't have a good product (i.e., enough staff and the food you say you have on the menu available), how will you succeed? I hope they get it together because I do like this place. It's a great location, parking is free, and the food (other than being a bit oversalted) is generally quite good.

Their drinks are really good. I liked the skinny Cucumber. I don't recommend their food. The Lobster Mac and Cheese didn't have a really good cheese sauce. It did have tasty crumbles. I got the Habanero wings which were not spicy. I got a side of Nashville Hot sauce, which had zero spice or flavor, it just tasted like oil. The black garlic sauce was very helpful to finish the wings.

Table manners is my favorite happy hour place in redondo beach. I go here a lot for some after work drinks. It’s location is unmatched because it’s near the beach and the happy hour prices are excellent. Service is attentive and the food quality is always on point. I love their oysters. This is the best casual upscale dining in the area.

Table Manners is where the famous restaurant used to be ..Unfortunately that new kitchen is not up to the challenge..Expensive for an average meal..You can tell they don't have a real chef there but Just a lonely cook from Monday to Thursday and the dishwasher is helping ..Staff told me and i saw it ..Unreal..

The lobster burger it's out of this world! It is pricey yes I understand but I think once in a while it's worth it! The Cuban waiter it's super funny and Amazing!

The spicy margarita is my favorite drink here. The lobster was succulent and sweet enough to enjoy without butter! We also like the spicy chicken sandwich. Good food. Good, friendly service. Highly recommend!

Best food and vibe I've ever been too. The owner Michael is awesome. The staff, Zack and Lazaro, are lovely and the food is amazing. This is my favorite spot in the South Bay, for sure!
We stopped by on a Wednesday night when there was Trivia! KC was AWESOME and the drinks kept coming. Unfortunately, our trivia scores were inversely proportionate to the quantity of the drinks, but it was a very fun night overall!The tots were tasty and the service was excellent!! Super welcoming and beyond attentive as the night went on.

Fantastic ambience and staff with phenomenal drinks to match. Food is just fine, you won't be disappointed, but in my opinion it's nothing to write home about. However, the craftsmanship of the menu as a whole will have you coming back for more with friends and the low-key vibe will have you hanging out for hours.Parking: It's in a tiny garage, so slight chance it might be full during the busy season.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs unless you park in the parking garage.

I saw this place on Instagram a while ago and put this on my bucket list because of their Black Garlic Honey Habanero Chicken Sandwich.I was surprised to see that there was free parking for this location since the Rivera Village charges for parking near Redondo Beach. The service was very nice and there was an option to eat outside. Unfortunately, the seat I sat in was a bit wet because of the rain.The sandwich is was very juicy and crispy but I didn't taste the black garlic or honey. The sandwich just tasted like a regular crispy chicken sandwich. Surprisingly, I was most impressed by the salad. It was light by very flavorful with a hint of bbq. I think that might have been the highlight of my meal.The food is a bit pricey aside from the hand held items. I was happy to try the crispy chicken sandwich but I think I will try eateries in Riviera Village next time.

I had the best chicken sandwich EVER in my life. The lobster roll comes with the squid ink bread is very delicate and awesome. I went there during happy hour and the chicken sandwich was 8 instead of 18 its original price. What a deal. Love this place.
