Ambiance - neighborhood restaurant vibe Service - excellent Food - hubby and I had a late lunch here today. We shared a clam chowder soup for $14 (love that it had clam shells, tiny chunks of bacon and croutons; it was delicious), crab cake for $26
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
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

Really enjoyed this place! We had reserved a table inside which was great. Since it's super tiny in there you need to do so a few weeks in advance if you don't want to sit at the counter or outside. Our server was great and explained the me

We love this place.
Longstanding tradition to celebrate our anniversary here and we have been doing so for over 20 years.
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

Some of the freshest raw oysters and the best steamed mussels we've ever had. We also enjoyed the Koshihikari Rice. Service was a bit lacking, we never got our Tabasco that we asked for and not much check backs, but we still really enjoyed our t
Top Notch
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
4* FOOD, 3* SERVICE
I went for dinner Monday night with 2 friends before a flight home to Australia. The clam chowder was great, one of the best Iβve tried. I also tried oysters and Peruvian scallops which were also good, but took ages to come out, yet also with no kn
Great foodβ¦some beverage challenges.
This is a very nice, small, high quality and premium priced seafood restaurant in/near the heart of the Manhattan Beach restaurant/bar area. Start with 1/2 lb shrimp cocktail and tasty cup of Chowder, and the best entree in our group was the Cajun sh

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
Outstanding fresh food and excellent wine selection.
Had a great time. Will definitely be back

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!

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.

This place was adorable and delicious.
Aleks was a great server. We really liked the food! It would be good to get appetizers out of the way before dinner is brought over. All And all a great place. It is very small. Make a reservation!
We hear of this place from a LA Times article .

Great restaurant worth the drive!
Great food and excellent service! We had some oysters, sauces were excellent, horseradish, cocktail sauce (especially good), shrimp ceviche, lobster and fish sandwiches. Delicious! It came with very tasty coleslaw and French fries. For dessert, brea
Great seafood in casual, friendly environment
Great seafood (rockfish tacos were very good) in a casual and cosy space. Service was upbeat and friendly. Good for a casual lunch or dinner (we went Monday late lunch and didnβt need to book). Just two blocks from the beach so easy for a walk on t

4 of us crowded into the table right by the front door which meant people and servers were bumping into our chairs. There were multiple servers who were friendly and answered questions. We ordered the mothershucker to share. All of the seafood was pr
Fair to partly cloudy
Chowder Excellent, Fish Sandwich not that good, shrimp tacos were fair nothing to right home about. Wouldn't go out of my way
So worth it
Decided to splurge on a work trip and my goodness was it worth it. I sat at the bar and struck up an easy conversation with Carlos as he was making drinks; he made some recommendations that I'm glad I followed. Peruvian scallop, Hamachi sashimi, and
Fabulous mussels
Was told by a friend to try here when in LA and it didn't disappoint. I had fabulous Whale Coast mussels meuniere for lunch followed by the strawberry rhubarb pie well looked after by John the barman.
Total Gem
We came here after seeing the menu online, I am so glad we did. I had tried to book a table online but couldnt, however, the front of house found us a table.The service was excellent from the moment we arrived, Sophie, our server could not have done
A true MB gem! Amazing staff, high quality food and always
A true MB gem! Amazing staff, high quality food and always fresh - whether it be cooked vs raw bar, they even knock simple salads out of the park. Chef Alice is great too!
Hands down best shellfish spot in south bay.
Quality too. I wish they had better white wines but still decent options. Really tiny place but really good vibe and great food. Service usually spot on and fast.

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
* FluffyStar64, 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.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 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 FluffyStar64 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, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64'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.
