The quality of the food was mediocre at best. Our waiter, Scott, handed me straws with his bare hands which completely grossed me out because he was moving his hands on the floor trying to adjust a table just a few minutes before that. I also asked an employee there for change. His response was "I don't have change". He might as well have told me to get out of his face. Also, our shrimp plate had a hair in it once we got to the bottom of the plate. Sufficed to say, for the first time being there, I wasnt impressed and I wouldn't come back.

I secured a timely reservation for Mother's Day and when my mom and I arrived we were seated right away, my mom is elderly and didn't want to chance getting cold sitting in the quaint patio so we asked for a place inside. The host had us place at more private table inside, thanks for the quick work!

It was a set menu which offered a good variety of their breakfast and lunch fare, my mom settled on the Simmzy's burger of all things and they easily accommodated her tastes on how she liked it, plus since I sharing the large burger they presented it nicely halved.

Our meals where all enjoyed and our server was sweet and attentive, the ambiance was on the noisy side but the energy was good. I had eaten here before so I knew my mom would like it, thanks Tin Roof for a last minute reservation booking!

I've had client lunches here several times and highly recommend this place. Each time the food was amazing and everyone liked what they ordered. The service was efficient and the staff very friendly. We were always seated promptly and there was no rushing us at the end of the meal to leave. I will definitely retrun

We just visited this restaurant with a few friends it was about four of us on 11/6/2020. We hadn't seen each other in a while (Thanks Covid). And came here because of the outdoor seating and one of friends spoke highly of this place. To be More

This is a hidden gem! I almost passed this place up for CPK. So glad I didn't. The lobster ravioli was absolutely amazing. The MSG pizza (without sausage) was good. The apple crumble... we ordered 2. I plan on going back again. Cute little date spot.

Went in to enjoy a lunch for a party of five for lunch. Arrived a little early and told them the name the reservation was under. Actually, I sat for one hour until I got a call from one woman in the group. I asked where they were. They sat the four women on the patio with me waiting for them to arrive inside!
Never again !!

The food was amazing! Got the lobster ravioli and a "mezcal me sometime" the BlackBerry cheesecake was the best dessert I've ever tasted! Hunter was a great server. Definitely coming back

Terrific experience all around. Burgers were perfectly cooked to order, very good wine, friendly and attentive service. People working here appeared genuinely happy and collegial, so the place had that sort of relaxed and friendly vibe. Good value, too, in terms of price. Nightly special fish looked fantastic, will try it next time

There is a server Ryan who was fantastic. Interacted well with myself and all the families sitting in our area and the family with kids. I will recommend The Tin Roof to all at Tesla and SpaceX and in my area. Thank you

Went here for dinner on a Thursday evening.

Terrible service and teamwork by staff. The waiter Scott seemed to be in his own world as did every other employee . I shouldn't have to hunt down my waiter for something or wait 15 min intervals until someone comes to us. He didn't even make eye contact with us and also didn't make eye contact with the table because my drink was empty for half the meal and nobody felt like getting me a refill or nobody saw it. He brought food to the table as did others and nobody noticed to ask or get me a refill? I finally asked myself. The refill came with my desert. This place had good reviews so I'm guessing this was an isolated incident because they were a little busy but that's what separates good from great We really felt neglected, as if the larger group guests were more important. There's no reason why my head should be swiveling for 10 min looking for someone and everyone walks past without asking if we're fine and helping other tables. I was literally staring down every employee with a plaid shirt, even a guy that probably wasn't an employee because he gave me a odd look. We were 2 people. Maybe the larger groups were more important. Food was good though and came out really fast.

I was even pissed at the tip principle. The people that are not waiters that just bring food came to our table more than the waiter. I tipped because it's a societal norm but my check was 70+. So roughly 12 bucks. For what?... I don't understand. I should have gotten tipped for having to deal with this experience.

All I have the power of is the review. Lol

Not going back though.

We visited Tin Roof on Saturday and had what I would consider the BEST service I have ever had in my life. I don't hand out compliments too often and this is my very first review to ever be written by me, Tin Roof exceeded my expectations. I had been here a while ago for parties and been pleased with the food. We ordered the buffalo sauce shrimp app, Brussels sprouts app, salmon main, lobster ravioli main, strawberry rhubarb crisp, a beer and a cocktail. Everything was unique in taste, perfect temperature and it's just impossible to say enough about the service. The manager, Mike, checked in with us regularly and the waiter was beyond attentive and polite. I will be going here again and recommending friends as well. Who knows, maybe our next birthday will take place here as well!

What an outstanding night of food & fun! We went on a Tues night and live entertainment was occurring in the outdoor eating experience. First the food. Everything we ordered on point from the appertizers roasted brussel sprouts & chacouderie (sp) board to the salad (generous portion) to the meals. Beef frieas (sliced beef), braised beef tips (off the chart) and pastas were great. The Wagu beef burger ( Billionaire Burger) was not what I was hoping for. Flavor was okay but super salty seasoning and a little dry. Rhubarb and apple cobbler is a must for dessert. Definately go but suggest you get a reservation. Walk up may be wait without.

In my opinion Tin Roof Bistro is certainly one of the premier restaurants in the Manhattan Village Mall (perhaps one the best in the southbay). Highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Dined there last night for my husband's birthday. Our server Scott was wonderful making the evening very enjoyable. I had the steak and my husband had the beef rib. Both were delicious. The food is always very flavorful and served hot. All in all it was a delightful experience.

An adorable place to go for dinner that was also reasonbly priced. Service was extremely friendly and very helpful for helping us pick out dishes. I had the short ribs with a Syrah to drink and they both were fantastic. Unfortunately don't live in LA but would love to come back here some day.

I visited with my mother when she was in town for a conference. I ordered the brussel sprouts, french onion soup and the braised short ribs. Everything was fantastic and our service was superb. We had a reservation, which I recommend, and were seated right on time. Should I be in the area again, I am definately returning.

American casual, yet refined dining. The server, I wish I had caught her name, was attentive, fast, personable, etc.., based on how we were attended, I can safely assume thats how all the staff is trained. The main courses are a decent portion, and tasty. One appetizer of note: the Brussels sprouts, are to die for!

We had a great time here. Another exceptional meal at Tin Roof! Tonight we had the braised short ribs for two (or three). Tender and delicious with the perfect marbling and crust. This place was always be the best and serve good food that is worth to spend of with good customer service.

Very disappointing. Fish and chips were greasy and bland, tasted a little better after adding salt, which you have to ask for. Ordered the blackberry cheesecake, after reading good reviews- lump of cream cheese, piled high with unsweetened whipped cream and a few sour blackberries on top. The crust tasted like stale graham cracker dust. The whole dessert tasted like a mound of lard. The only good thing about my dinner was the beer. Service wasn t great either. Our waiter didn t ask once how our meal was or if he can bring us anything, I had to ask for dessert. Needless to say, I will never be going back.

Beautiful ambience, and super nice employees. The bartender Jeff took great care of me as I waited for my table. The drinks were fire! And the craft beer on tap is a must. I didnt catch my servers name but she was very fast and knew the menu well. It felt like a limo ride through the whole experience. After a awesome time Zack came by to see if my wife and I enjoyed our dinners! What a awesome team here! This is a must if you are in Manhattan beach area. Oh, and the burger... let just say out of this wagu-world.

The atmosphere was amaxing. The lighting was art in itself. My cocktail was tasty. I ordered the Indian spiced spinach dip as a starter, wine braised short rib with boccolini and polenta which were superb. Because we sat and chatted we ended up ordering the tiramisu for dessert.

So good I went there two nights ina a row. Great service! I was worried because I'm currently trying to drop e few pounds a Me to diet. They were very supported accommodating my totally off menu request.

Good food, good servers, but the host staff is completely incompetent. We live in the area and 3 of the last 4 times we have been there, we showed up on time with a reservation and still had to wait to be seated while there are open tables in the restaurant.

I absolutely loved the Thanksgiving Lunch and they were so fast and efficient getting it out for me just in time for me to leave and get to work that day. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a delicious meal. The beef and veggies was the short rib meal and I wholeheartedly approve. The cinnamon cup was the pumpkin cheesecake, the soup was some kind of butternut squash soup. Those green balls are their famous Brussel Sprouts and they were out of this world.
