Note… the name is changing to Bonaparte Bistro tomorrow. Don’t let the small cafe fool you… the food and service is off the charts amazing! Our server Melanie was wonderful. She was on top of everything and oh so nice!

I love sitting on the outdoor patio to enjoy the sunset and the fresh air. The service was very quick and friendly. Quite a bit of options to choose as well as drink selections.

Overall, I was not impressed with my experience at this restaurant. While the servers were friendly, the service was just terrible. Our food took over an hour to arrive, despite the fact that the restaurant was not very busy. Despite the wait, the food was decent – the pizzas, burgers, mac and cheese, and fries were all good. However, the poor service really put a damper on the experience. The waiters only visited our table a few times, and that includes bringing the food. Given the subpar service, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant and wouldn’t choose to return myself. While the food is good, it’s not worth waiting over an hour for and the lack of consistent attention from the staff is disappointing.

It’s def worth checking out, brand new spot (as of 06/2023) or at least a name change. Related to the cafe across the pier) Main focus is French and a little Italian. There is something for everyone. The food is well done.

We tried this place while visiting Hermosa Beach… We were a little apprehensive as no one in the restaurant but it was enclosed which was great because it was cold. Well we were very surprised. The food was good, although they were out of the first 2 appetizers we wanted, but we made due, and the service was good as well. My husband and I split the burger and an appetizer of the wings – very good. They were crisp skin not chewy and a great sauce on them. The burger was very good and the fries…. wow. cooked to perfection and hot! We’ll definitely go back and we hope others will try. They changed owners from previous but the food is good.

Nice little restaurant focused on clean, healthy food. My Prosciutto pizza with spinach was delicious! The pita and humus appetizer was unbelievably delicious, and my wife LOVED her salmon entree. The service was excellent! We’ll be back!

First time here & it was amazing. Waiter was incredible. My 2 active & at times screams kids didn’t phase him. He expedited their food & was always happy to get more catsup for them. We had the mussels, crab avocado rolls, lamb, shrimp salad, salmon. Kids had chicken fingers w fries. Everything was delicious! Even the chicken fingers! I can’t wait to go back & try rest of the menu!

We were on vacation and walking around when we decided to eat here for lunch. There honestly wasn’t a single thing we didn’t love. My daughter has an egg allergy and they easily accommodated this. Not only that, but we had all of our children with us and they were very patient with us. If we lived in the area, we’d certainly go back. The experience was amazing
