This was a great place! Especially just dropping by on a whim between LAX & OC. Love the cozy shipboard feel: Fun graphic design + tight spaces like the impossibly cozy yet not uncomfortable bar. Service was great, our guy knew all the oysters a
Met a client here for lunch and wow was I ever impressed.
The staff was so friendly and helpful. Oysters were amazing ambiance was cute sea themed, plus the name sticks out too. Not a big place but very impressive and lived up to their Michelin Star

The koshihikari rice FIREEEEE if you don't get it you are a weirdo. It's so damn flavorful it's ridiculous. This shall be my go to when I'm sick or on my deathbed

The shrimp cocktail appetizer was small ($32.50), not large as the server described it. The lobster sandwich was more bun than lobster, ($44.00), absolutely ridiculous for the price charged. Our meal consisted of 1 appetizer, 2 entrees and 3 beers fo

The best!!!! Love their food.
Akela and FWD team were so accommodating and super sweet. Thank you all for being kind at the utmost level. We had the Peruvian scallops, rolls, koshihikari rice, sea bass and ended with their famous Key Lime pie. Such a perfect experience for a Sund
I just absolutely love this place.
Small, tucked in little spot with some outdoor seating. The raw bar options are on point. But honestly, so is something basic like fish and chips. The host is organized and kind. The staff thoughtful. Just can't think of a better spot for a late
Amazing food (had oysters and lobster roll).
The staff was attentive and welcoming. They managed my food allergy well (only messed up on one of the sauces but I caught it). I sat at the bar and it was cool. Thanks.

They had an orange wine on the menu which was basically just a "skin-contact" savvy blanc. Got to pull out my "so how long do they stomp on the grapes? what do you mean grapes have skin?" joke. Cute, date-night, seafood spot. Th

The best food and service and staff.
Very cozy take friend or two to enjoy the oysters, clam chowder, crab cakes and key lime pie. I love their wine selection and the service is outstanding. Its a michelin catering. I recommend reservations. There is city parking in the back on 12th Str
Used to be really good, but unfortunately not anymore.
I've been to many Michelin restaurants around the world, but the food here just does not justify the price. There so much better tasting food in the area with less expensive bill. It's just the location you're paying for. However...th

Lovely Restaurant
This is one of my friend's favorite restaurants so I was looking forward to eating at FWD. Our table was on the sidewalk which was completely fine. My only recommendation is make sure you wear something warm because it can get chilly outside a

We booked this place weeks ago and could only secure a place at the counter. When we arrived 2 guests were still in our place so after a short wait the staff managed to accommodate us at a large table which was excellent. Oysters, octopus, clams, s
Delicious and Fresh Seafood
Our first dinner in LA, on this trip, was at the Fishing with Dynamite. Our server, Sophie, was very knowledgeable and suggested great pairings with our selected appetizers and entrees. She made our experience even more enjoyable; thank you Sophieπ
The rave reviews for FWD are justified!
This seafood restaurant has everything: a perfect location in the heart of Manhattan Beach, excellent service, creative and absolutely delicious food, cozy interior decor, and one of the coolest restaurant names I have ever come across. My experience
Great Food, Service, and atmosphere. An excellent option in North Redondo Beach
I was a single walk in at prime dinner time on a Thursday night. They actually had great outdoor seating, which when available i will always take. The staff were all wonderful and the food was incredible. I tried 4 oysters and they threw in two scall

Explosions of flavors in my mouth like dynamite! It has been a couple days since, but I am still thinking about that Japanese Hamachi Sashimi. The apple ponzu itself is to die for and pairs so well with the Hamachi. It was resting on top of a bed of

Whenever I get the chance, I'll book a reservation for this place. I've been here over a dozen times and it is always amazing. They are awesome and the food is gray and the view afterwards is spectacular. It doesn't hurt that salt and straw is right
I came here several years ago and I really need to return.
It is pricey but the food, especially the raw oysters, was amazing. One of the freshest seafood places I have ever eaten at. It is a tiny place so I had to squeeze in between the tables to go to the bathroom, but the intimacy only added to the exclus
Delicious food wonderful suggestions from our server.
We sat outside and I highly recommend taking advantage of the beautiful Manhattan Beach weather while dining here!
Adorable New England beach cottage feeling.
Staff is excellent. We go in the afternoons when it's less busy and sit at the bar. Peruvian scallops are life changing -- I eat one and take time to just sit there and meditate on it. Also love the oysters, crudo, salads, and cocktails.
I was really disappointed.
We ordered take out and our food was soggy. The crab cake was soggy and so were the fish tacos. The fries were not fresh and pretty cold. The order was late in being ready for take out. I expected so much more and had heard such good things but foun

Had a 5pm Sunday dinner reservation here for my girlfriend's 26th birthday. Just the 2 of us. I could not have asked for a better dinner experience. I called ahead to let the staff know about the occasion and they handled it wonderfully even covering
Delicious dinner!
After we got a table in a good section of the sidewalk (read: flat surface and no slope, close to the restaurant and not their neighbors), we had a five star experience - service, cocktails and food. Peruvian scallops, Hamachi sashimi, tuna tartar
Fishing with Dynamite is our favorite downtown restaurant.
Great ambiance, excellent service, and incredible food/drinks. Our go to items are the Peruvian scallops, the hamachi sashimi, Mexican white shrimp ceviche, the crab cake, squash rolls, steamed mussels, and the halibut. You really can't go wrong!
Fishing With Dynamite has been celebrated for serving only
Fishing With Dynamite has been celebrated for serving only the most pristine seafood with accolades that include "Best Oyster Bar" and is among Chef Lefevre's diverse family of restaurants. The restaurant is located off of Manhattan Avenue,
The food here is so good.
The background was so beautiful. It was a little chilly so we ordered the New England Clam Chowder was delish. Afterwards we had the Savage Harbor Blonde Oyster and the taste was so good I don't know to describe it.The Fish tacos were amazing but nee
Great seafood, top shelf!
Expensive but great. European flair. Small place but very nice selection of wonderfully prepared seafood. Gem in the South Bay of LA.
Best oyster we have ever had! We loved them.
Small hidden gem. Staff was amazing too . We will definitely be back
Fresh and delicious seafood dishes.
I could eat the Peruvian scallops every day. All staff know the dishes and can explain the complexities.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Fishing With Dynamite Manhattan Beach at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Fishing With Dynamite Manhattan Beach page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 now uses their connections at Fishing With Dynamite Manhattan Beach to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CoolestCough45 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CoolestCough45 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Fishing With Dynamite Manhattan Beach!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
