Went to Fonz's last Saturday night for a b-day party. The place is wonderful. Owner Danny Boehle is at the door and welcoming you in. Service was great as always. My steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. Great oysters to start. The dessert menu is the best kept secret - we ordered one of each and nada was left behind.... More

Just flew in from China. Meeting rest of family in AM. Hungry & tired & it is late. Thursday night & all the restaurants are packed & most of them noisy. Looking for something a little quite & not crowded. Past Fonz's Restaurant & looked in the window. Sighted an empty table, so went in. Was seated immediately in a... More

Fonz's always great food and service. I especially like in the winter easier to get a table and good value. Sometimes we eat at the bar and watch a game .

I have been to Fonz many times on business. Their Rack of Lamb is excellent and their fish dishes are very good. On Tuesday they offer selected bottles of good wine at 1/2 prices. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel like home.

I had a dish with shrimp and mushrooms served with risotto and a Ceasar salad. The salad tasted very good but had an odd texture as the lettuce was chopped. The entree was disappointing for something with the word "shrimp" in the title. If my interest was a mushroom and risotto dish with shrimp as an afterthought, this would fill... More

I am a frequent traveler to Manhattan Beach and I have always been made to feel like I was an important regular when I step into Fonz's. When you are traveling on business it's great to have a place that makes you feel like you are at home. The staff is great from Walter on down, it's a fun atmosphere... More

Went with a few buddies the other night. I had the lamb which was great and cooked perfectly. Started with calimari and tuna which was great. Two guys had steaks and one had pork and everyone was very happy. Knocked down a couple martinis and a couple bottles of wine, didn't have a ticket on my car, got home safely... More

I've been there a number of times over the years (I live nearby in Hermosa Beach), and have found the food to be consistently excellent. For an upper end restaurant, the price point is good, too, better than most of the other upper end places in the Manhattan Pier area. Highly recommend the NY strip with the bacon cheddar mashed...

Thud! They encourage a sauce to go with your steak. Um... I'm sorry. Since when does top quality beef need a sauce? Well, I'll tell you. Once I dug into my overpriced cut, I just wanted to get up and go somewhere else but society frowns on that. So you just gotta grind it out and not go back. Lots... More
