Manhattan Beach Post

Absolutely standout experience from start to finish. Excellent charcuterie selection, the skirt steak was cooked to perfection. Our waiter Carter took it to the next level when he realized we were lactose-intolerant, but their dessert menu had dairy on everything, so he went around the block and got us a vegan ice cream on the house!! Truly an unforgettable evening.

Beautiful spot. Food was delicious. couldn't give a 5 star for service, we never got some of our food and second order of drinks. We waited 30+ minutes and then had to go find someone. We had to leave by that point so didn't get to have. This is a staffing issue I would assume Not the waitress issue, she was good.

I went for a solo dinner at Manhattan Beach Post and had a great experience. I started with the garlic herbed pretzel bread — a bit too spicy for my taste, but still good. The grilled Caledonian prawns were absolutely delicious, truly the highlight of the night. The bread with the chile butter and aioli was amazing as well. The vibe at the bar was really nice, and the bartender Bree and Lucas was super friendly. She even made me two delicious mocktails that weren’t on the menu. Great food, great service — I’ll definitely be back!

MB Post didn’t just roll out a fall menu — they dropped a culinary mixtape that hits harder than a Thanksgiving food coma and tastes so good your mama might get slapped twice. Every dish feels like Chef David LeFevre raided autumn’s pantry, flexed his technique, and said, “Watch this.” Here’s the play-by-play of the heavy hitters: ⸻ Lobster Risotto — 5/5 Slaps (the good kind) Creamy, buttery, perfectly al dente risotto crowned with sweet, luxe chunks of lobster. This wasn’t risotto — this was therapy. The depth of flavor? Nearly illegal. The kind of dish you pause after each bite just to admire what’s happening in your mouth. Certified Slap Ya Mama Good. ⸻ Chilean Seabass Special — Fall’s MVP The seabass came out melting like it forgot how to have structure — silky, delicate, rich without being heavy. Paired with autumn aromatics and just the right hit of acidity, it was a “stop-talking-to-me-I’m-eating” moment. A masterclass in balance. ⸻ New Scallop Setup with Fall Carrots — Fall on a Plate Perfectly caramelized scallops with that sear you dream about. The fall carrot setup brings this earthy-sweet backbone that ties the plate together like an orchestra warming up in harmony. Elegant, seasonal, and straight-up addictive. Slap-worthy elegance. ⸻ Slow-Cooked Short Rib Special — A Hug in Entrée Form This short rib didn’t “fall off the bone” — the bone probably fell off it. Deep, rich, slow-cooked perfection with a sauce so glossy it could double as a luxury car finish. Cozy, comforting, and absolutely savage in flavor. A double-slappin’ soul-warmer. ⸻ Lobster Pot Pie — Sheer Culinary Disrespect This is the dish you tell your therapist about because it awakened something in you. Flaky golden pastry hiding a steaming cauldron of lobster decadence — creamy, rich, loaded, and ridiculously generous. You don’t slap your mama after eating this. You call her and apologize for every bad thing you ever did. ⸻ Caramel Apple Cheesecake — Fall’s Crown Jewel Imagine the best caramel apple you’ve ever had… now imagine it became a cheesecake and joined the Navy SEALs. Silky texture, warming spices, lush caramel, and tart apple cutting through the richness. Autumn in dessert form. Certified 10-finger lick, knock-the-chair-over good. ⸻ Final Verdict MB Post’s fall menu isn’t just good — it’s dangerously good. It’s the kind of menu that makes you consider ordering round two just to relive the moment. A seasonal knockout from top to bottom. 👋👋👋👋👋 Five of Five Slaps Slap Ya Mama Certified.
