Exceptional restaurant ! Fantastic, friendly service and amazing food. Favorites are the puruvian scallop , oysters , hamachi crudo , salmon tartare , mussels . They also have a very accomplished bartender .

Eater

Expect a mixed batch of old and new seafood dishes , alongside a thoughtful list of intoxicants. Early standouts are the Thai Shellfish Coconut Soup , Albacore Tartare , and Loup de Mer.

Jim McMicken

We did the Dine LA menu, what an incredible deal! I had the raw bar appetizer , blue crab po'boy entree, and salted caramel pretzel bread pudding with mascarpone ice cream . So good!

Michael Ashley Schulman

A notable seafood dining establishment. Reservations are highly recommended Food tends to be very good and service tends to be outstanding.

Penny Halvorsen

Every dish I have tried here is outstanding. The fish dishes are done to perfection . A great accompaniment to your meal are the Parker House Rolls. Highly recommend the Key Lime Pie for dessert .

Kelli Barnes

This is a great restaurant with authentic food for a good price. I really enjoyed a variety of dishes on the menu and all was presented well . Kudos to the owner and the management. Highly recommended!

Bianca

Crescent moon oysters , seared scallops and crab cake , all with some glasses of champagne 💫 Delicious!! The heirloom tomatoes & tuna tomato tostadas are amazing, but that’s seasonal.

Danny Trejo

The sea urchin , and the NZ oysters where on point. Also the key lime pie was amazing and I'm from Florida. Very impressed. Can't wait to go back!!!

Mariefe Ramos

Quick! Get the Maryland Soft Shell Blue Crab Po' Boy b4 it's off the menu . Today is the last day! Peruvian Scallops w/grapefruit is so refreshing together. Squash Rolls w/Rosemary Butter are great.

I assumed that MB Post was the head and shoulders champion of MB, but didn’t realize it’s less hyped neighbor may be superior. Caesar and tuna tartare at lunch , both amazing!

Priscilla @shescookin

Sit at the bar . We enjoyed having Kevin as our server and the chowder , hamachi and Arctic Char salad with a runny egg were all excellent!

Josh Wood

Everything is amazing. Get oysters then let them guide you through their well thought out menu.

Vinny La Barbera

Everything was incredible, but two things I'd say that you MUST try are the Hamachi and the Key Lime Pie .

John Cassillo

Reservations are a must due to small space. Try as much of the amazing seafood dishes as you can.

Jim San-Martin

Amazing King Crab , Blue Crab , Crab cakes , ceviche and hamachi !!! Get it all....oh and the service was the best I've ever had!!!

Tamara D

Peruvian scallops ,Hamachi,Cape cod squash rolls with rosemary butter, Rockfish and shrimp ceviche all amazing !

Tasting Table

This tiny fish spot on Manhattan Beach aims to please with deliciously fresh seafare. Try the Peruvian scallops and shrimp ceviche . Read more

Mike Wise

Always include Puruvian scallops in the mix from your raw bar selection and save room for pumpkin pie with salted caramel whipped cream or that key lime pie !

Matt Szenics

Dude, all the seafood is dope af. Make sure you get dat key lime pie at the end, though. It's major 🔑 (🍋 ).

Scott Messer

Try to snag one of the two "reservation tables" on Opentable, otherwise its walk-ins. THIS is the best seafood restaurant in the South Bay .

Eugene Ngai

The platters are very good but highlight was the Thai Shellfish and Coconut Soup . Chowdah was good too, not thickened like the one at Legal Seafood (in Boston).

Devon B

The scallops , sea bass , and beet salad . Service was top notch, too!

Corinne Lee

The small plates are larger than the average tapas . Go for 2 and a side for a lunch for 2.

Chris Gampat

The people here are as lovely as their food.

Tamara D

This restaurant is amazing. This is the pretzel pudding amazing!

Mike Wise

You have to try the pretzel brownie with homemade ice cream - trust me!

Bill Lyons

Only twelve tables. Super tiny spot but worth it. They turn the tunes up loud just incase there are any real #loudtalkers around (you know the people that have no inside voice)

Roy Chin

Get the Peruvian Scallops , Hamachi , and the Koshihikari Rice . All are amazing dishes!

Tasting Table

Forgo the usual mignonette and cocktail adornment for ponzu , yuzu koshu mayo or saffron aioli . Read more

Odile Roujol

Santa Barbara urchins and the soft shell crab 🦀

Dan Goodwin

Great seafood and terrific cocktail list .

Los Angeles

The raw bar , which includes a dozen or so varieties of oysters , is one of the best in LA.

Curt Gibbs

A visit to fishing with Dynamite is not complete without an order of squash rolls

Tasting Table

If you're all in, a fat Mothershucker ($160) platter serves them all prettied up on ice and garnished with strands of seaweed . Read more

Oscar Trelles

If you try one thing, let it be the Peruvian scallops . They are truly amazing.

Tina Abouraya

Order some Kusshi oysters , jumbo shrimp , the crab cake and a glass of Sancerre .

Brian Smith

Pretzel bread pudding is amazing. Expert tip: pair it with some Don Julio 1942.

Eugene Kovshilovsky

Try the key lime pie for dessert . It's a good size for 2 people to share.

Aaron N

Swordfish , fish tacos , pretzel and choko bread pudding- outstanding!
