Saint & Second

Kevin a month ago

My partner and I had a reservation for Saint & Second for the weekend and we were seated immediately during our outing. What I found out is that they have three separate menus, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Staff were super accommodating and had some good recommendations. Parking can be tricky as there's a small lot behind Saint & Second but we parked in a nearby lot (parking meter) and walked over to the restaurant. 1. We ordered three dishes and the first one that caught our eye was the Huevos Rancheros, which had beans, onions, corn, tortilla wrap, avocado, and eggs. The mix of ingredients definitely had me taken aback but after the first bite, I was amazed with how flavorful it was. It melts super well even without the tortilla wrap but highly eating it with the wrap. Only downside to the dish is that it can easily fall apart, but still super tasty. Highly recommend. 2. Next is the Maine Lobster Roll, a nice dish thats just lobster meat in a toasted rectangle bread. It also comes with a side of fries which is a nice complimentary to the lobster roll. A bit messy to eat but rich in flavor. The toast is well made which is underrated in how it affects the lobster roll. 3. Lastly, my favorite was the Mac & Shrooms. A dish I would highly recommend to get as a shareable, the bread crumbs on top of the dish makes munching on it 10000x better. Super savory, rich, and crisp. Overall, the food here is incredible, atmosphere was really nice and chill, busy restaurant but very well managed. Will definitely come back to try their other menus.

We came here on a Wednesday afternoon in the pouring rain and there was tons of seating available. Parking is metered parking on the street and I imagine that it would be harder to find parking on a regular day or in the evening. The ambiance is quite upscale and this restaurant would serve well for date night. We ordered the French onion soup, Crispy chicken sandwich with truffle fried and the Fish and chips with regular fries. The French Onion soup was delicious - warm, melting cheese, bread soaked in completely...it was excellent! It was also quite heavy so I'm glad that we ordered only one to share. The fish and chips was surprisingly good. The haddock fillet was cooked to perfection and the breading was light but crispy. The tartar sauce with it was very very good. They didn't provide any malt vinegar. The fries were thin and crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside which we liked. The crispy chicken sandwich was also very good. The chicken, again, had a thin but crispy breading that was beaded with black pepper, chili and I guess, some peanut powder as per the menu. It was lovely to eat. The sandwich was filled with kimchi sauce, cabbage and Korean pickles to give it an Asian zing. The truffle fries were delicious but I would have liked a little more truffle oil. The service was mediocre. The server was ok. They would also disappear right around the time we needed something. But outside of that, the food was good and I recommend this place for their food.

Great food, great service! We came here for the burger and food over at Saint and Second. Made a reservation ahead of time and walked right in! Bar and place is clean, modern, and our waiter was top notch! Definitely a good bar, when it's warmer out to get a drink and hang out on the top level!

Saint and Second has become the newest hotspot in East Manhattan Beach, situated on the new area of the Manhattan Village Mall. For couples, the prime seats are the bar stools on the patio, offering a cozy view inside. Ian, our bartender, was fantastic, and Ray also provided excellent service. The menu boasts a wide variety—from delicious burgers to the finest cuts of beef available. With the kitchen staying open until midnight, it's a great alternative to The Kettle. Kristina and I had a wonderful time, and it’s now a regular addition to our weekly list of favorite dining spots.
