Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

Xmas Eve Birthday celebration with my two daughters, all first timers here at Jane’s which was serving a special four course dinner. Wow, started off with great views of the marina, open kitchen and joint packed full of hungry guests at 6pm!! All I can say is the Jane’s staff execution of this event was absolutely impressive and outstanding in every way!! First hats off to the back da house gang sweating it out in the boiler room!!! All the dishes were Michelin Star fantastic, from the first course raw oyster appetizer, second course Asian style crispy shrimp salad, Hamachi Carpaccio, Mushroom/Chestnut Soup, main entrees of Seared Scallop with Risotto, Shrimp Scampi & Tagliatelle pasta and Surf&Turf Prime Fillet Mignon and Lobster Tail. Plus we ordered their signature Caviar with Fish Sticks which was loaded with sturgeon and ikura eggs in a delicious tartar sauce relish. But wait……the superb tasting dessert of a Chocolate Caramel Roll Cake with a birthday candle definitely deserves recognition for putting a smile on my face!! And of course kudos to the hard working floor folks including our wonderful server Grace and the hustling food runners ………every course came out in perfect timing, no long waits or pauses in between……a simply amazing performance considering every table in both dining rooms were full!! We will be back for sure…….seriously recommend Jane’s if you got a hot date or someone to impress…..Even the valet service is top notch!!

Our server, Agustin, was very attentive and professional. The food was excellent.

Terrific tasting menu experience. The kitchen nicely accommodated a couple allergies. The progression of dishes was wonderful, with an evolving theme that stitched together the evening. The presentation was amazing. The dishes were as beautiful as the food was tasty. The wine pairing was nicely structured with delicious, hard-to-find choices.

Consistently amazing food and the most professionally trained, warm, and considerate staff. Love Chinois.

Mike and Daniel and Ignacio and Hector took great care of us. The food is always great. Thanks guys. We had a wonderful time.
