I had zero expectations walking into this place, which is usually the best way to approach an unknown bistro where the menu might range from oysters to... confusion. But the moment I stepped inside, I spotted a glorious plate of pasta being eaten by some fine gentleman, and it looked like it had been hand-delivered straight from Bologna. After 10 days in the U.S., my Italo-reflex kicked in hard - I was practically crawling for real pasta. Flash-forward to me, mildly panicking, as I scanned the menu and couldn’t find that majestic dish anywhere. We had rushed the gathering to make it in time for the happy hour window (which, by the way, is totally worth rearranging your day for), and our six-pack party went all in on finger foods and shareables. Pasta dreams... crushed. Still, the gentleman who carried that mystery plate had the energy of someone serving art, and I swear the deep red color and oversized circumference of that dish haunted me for the rest of the meal. If you go and find it—please report back. For closure. In the meantime, let’s talk about the food I did get to try: top-tier share plates, great soul-food vibes, and burgers that make you reconsider your commitment to kale. Everything was on point, including the staff, who handled our slightly extended happy hour with a wink and professional grace. Now, one minor heartbreak: the margarita glass. I expected a half-gallon, salt-rimmed, two-handed goblet, and instead got a regular glass. Not tragic, but mildly insulting to my vacation mood. Thankfully, the happy hour discount came through like a hero, slicing our bill, and my bitternes, in half. So yes, San Pedro, your seaside bistro gets my stamp. Just save a plate of that pasta for me next time. And bring a bigger glass. Grazie.

Cozy place, food was delicious, well serve amd prepare. Large menu with plenty of choices. The service was slow,.we need to request everything from refills, missing items, napkins, water, basic toppings, etc. And it will take a while to be brought. Over all is a hidden gem in Palos Verdes

Went to Seaside Bistro for the Happy Hour (4-7pm, Mon-Sun, 40% off advertised price). They had a lot of delicious appetizers and drinks. We had the following: 1. Filet Mignon tacos (4.5/5) 2. Blackened Salmon tacos (3/5) 3. Dozen Oysters (5/5) 4. Tomato Basil Bruschetta (4.5/5) 5. Chicken Wings, Buffalo (2.5/5) 6. Roasted Artichoke (3.5/5) We didn't have any drinks this time but the menu looked extensive. The prices were super reasonable and the food was great. The server was helpful and friendly. Would come back here when in the area!

In a quiet little corner by the ocean you’ll find a beautiful tucked away restaurant. The Seaside Bistro! The atmosphere is lively and nice. The waitress was quick to serve and help with the menu. The food here had great flavors and came out hot along with some refreshing nice drinks. The two dishes we got knocked us out of the park. The Cioppino with salmon, scallops, clams, and more was something I was blown away by. The soup tasted perfect with the spices and simmering of various mixtures of seafood. The bread they give had a great crunchy exterior and soft interior. The diablo shrimps we also got were the best spicy shrimps we’ve gotten around here. Not over the top hot but enough to clear sinuses. It was given with a side of cheese that you can put on top that together make it taste even better for those who enjoy that combination as well. If you’re looking for a place to just relax and sit with your partner. Family. Or come by yourself and sit at the bar. This place has you covered. Along with great hospitality this restaurant is a must if you’re around San Pedro.

Came here with my family. We were a group of 12 with my aunts and cousins... The food was good overall. Everyone seemed happy with what they ordered. The appetizers were great. We had raw oysters, Rockefeller oysters and calamari. Some of the main course items were slightly salty. Oddly, the kitchen felt the need to draw Seaside on each plate. We did not really like the desserts. Desserts didn't really taste all that good. Our server was excellent. Overall we had a good time.

Great food and staff. Serves brunch, dinner and has weekly specials. Parking is a little tight as it is in a strip mall, but depending on time of day you can easily grab a seat. Many locals come to this place and tourist as well, as it is a short drive from the Friendship Bell. I almost don't want to give it a good review out of fear it'll be packed. But it really is a nice restaurant.
