Playa Hermosa Fish & Oyster

We always stop here whenever we are in Hermosa. We're obsessed with the menu. A few favorites are the calamari, lobster, cauliflower, and shrimp spring rolls. The service is always fabulous! Our guy checked on us a lot and was accommodating.We usually sit on the patio overlooking the beach but even the inside is comfortable and a cool beachy vibe. Thanks for great memories!!

Came here a couple of weeks ago on a Friday evening. It was quite slow. Our server was a friendly blonde woman. She was bubbly & had good energy. She was very knowledgeable about the menu, and provided good recommendations. I told her I didn't like seafood so she was sure to provide options for me. I ordered a holiday colada type drink (which I didn't much care for, it was a little watered down), a margarita (very strong & to my liking), and my date had a couple of Moscow mules. For our food order, we had: a seafood tower, I had the ribeye with fries, and my date ordered the salmon. The food presentation was done well, very pleasing to the eye. The food was delicious. My steak was a little on the fatty side, but it was cooked well & very flavorful. I tried several items of the tower, and it wasn't half bad (for a non-seafood eater). The sauces definitely helped. I tried the mashed potatoes and they were very buttery & silky smooth. Overall I was impressed. The service was great, & the food was above average. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Playa Hermosa Fish & Oyster is a solid dining spot along the Hermosa Pier area. Food: This was good seafood and I didn't hate anything I had. I kept it pretty standard to fish and chips while my son had Lobster Mac n cheese. It was tasty but not "I can only get this here" types of dishes. Maybe my opinion can change if I try other dishes.Service: It was good but not super. I had to ask for my water refills and there was a shift change/waiter change during the experience. I was never denied anything but there wasn't any extra catering to at the same time.Atmosphere: This is a good hang out area to have some fish by the beach next to the Hermosa Pier. Great people watching opportunities while able to have some drinks and food.

Came for my dads birthday. We ordered the seafood tower, lobster mac and cheese, clam chowder, calamari, and fish n chips. Everything we ordered was so delicious! It was a lot of food but it was so delicious we finished everything! The servers were all so kind it made our visit more pleasant. Being right by the beach and beautiful weather was the icing on the top!

Excellent serviceExcellent foodDelicious drinks Beach side in Hermosa, this place e has a lovely outdoor seating area as well as Indoor dining space. The menu is a wonderful selection of fresh options, of which I chose the scallops, oysters and sashimi albacore ... everything was delicious. Swing by and grab a drink with friends, or some lovely raw bar seafood .. you'll love it, no matter what you choose.

Super understaffed!, we wait for 15 mins.....nobody came. Others complained or walked away. Don't do it

Came here off of a recommendation from a friend when we were in Hermosa.First time in Hermosa (i love it here) and loved that this place was so close to the beach! Everything screamed welcoming from the outdoor seating folks who were having a good time to the staff welcoming us in when we arrived. Our waiter was great! He was super chill and friendly. He gave great recommendations for drinks and food.I loved that in the end they offered us a complimentary cheese cake! It was thoughtful and really why aside from the food itself we'll return!The food was delicious and the portions were great!I also use their restroom and appreciated how clean it was.

Very expensive food for what you get or don't get. But it is fun to sit outside and people watch.

Came here at 11 AM on a Saturday morning for a birthday/Mother's Day weekend celebration. It was empty even until we left at 1 PM so service was really attentive and top notch. Not sure how it would be when they are busy. It has a very cool Hermosa Beach vibe. There is patio seating and a bar area indoors with 4 flat screen TVs. The place is on the smaller side but we were able to fit our party of 8 comfortably (keeping in mind that the place was empty). Despite its cool hip vibe, it's good for kids, supplying high chairs for the little ones and Taylor Swift and Barbie activity place mats with crayons for the slightly older ones (these were a huge hit with my girls!). The food was unexpectedly really good. We had ribeye steak, the Tower appetizer, the Alaskan King Crab, breakfast burrito with carne asada upgrade, the curry mussels, and the kids grilled cheese sandwich with fries. My first taste were the kid's fries, which I loved! I could've done without the skinny Alaskan King Crab legs but everything else was good! Everyone in the party commented on the food being flavorful and tasty. Our server recommended the curry mussel as the chef's special creation. It did not disappoint. Everyone was thrilled with it and my husband, who is a self-proclaimed curry connoisseur, stated it was one of the best green curry's he has had. We ended up getting more bread (we thought it was complimentary but alas, it was $5++ more) to dip in the curry and just lap it all up.Our server even set up something special for the birthday boy. It was a really nice touch and a great finish to a great meal. The only cons are that it's kind of pricey and parking can be a pain. Otherwise, a really great spot that I'll visit again to re-live the experience.

Overall amazing experience! Great location, great food, and great staff- especially Joey. He was so attentive, kind, and funny. He really made the experience that much better! The lobster tail pasta is incredible, some of the best lobster I've had. Clam chowder as a starter is a must. Highly recommend- and ask for Joey!!
