Table Manners - Redondo Beach

We 've been coming to this spot since it was Bouzy several years ago. While we weren 't overly keen about the original order through the app at the table method, we understood the importance of it during COVID. Was glad to see that there are now servers instead. However... this place really needs to get it 's business together. The last few times we visited, they were so short-staffed! There are never enough servers, and only 1 bartender (who had to double as a server during a busy trivia night. I talked to one of the servers who told me this is a regular thing for them. And at our last visit last week, they were out of the lobster they 've been advertising so much, they ran out of broccoli and corn, both of which are supposed to be sides on their menu. The lobster was also overcooked, unfortunately. The chef also oversalted a lot of things. When I was presented with the supposedly 1 pound lobster, and an appetizer size lobster was presented, I questioned it. They had actually planned on charging me for the 1 pounds lobster if I hadn 't said anything. They finally admitted it was not the 1 pound lobster, and that it was this appetizer size. I don 't understand how they 'll stay in business given these things. If you don 't hire the staff to serve people, you 'll have angry customers who are less than thrilled about how long they have to wait. (Our drinks always seem to take FOREVER here. Also, while they 're out marketing Trivia Night, AYCE Lobster, Karaoke, etc., if you don 't have a good product (i.e., enough staff and the food you say you have on the menu available , how will you succeed? I hope they get it together because I do like this place. It 's a great location, parking is free, and the food (other than being a bit oversalted is generally quite good.

Their drinks are really good. I liked the skinny Cucumber. I don't recommend their food. The Lobster Mac and Cheese didn't have a really good cheese sauce. It did have tasty crumbles. I got the Habanero wings which were not spicy. I got a side of Nashville Hot sauce, which had zero spice or flavor, it just tasted like oil. The black garlic sauce was very helpful to finish the wings.

Excellent happy hour. Best kept secret in the Riviera Village. The food and service are top notch.

Table manners is my favorite happy hour place in redondo beach. I go here a lot for some after work drinks. It’s location is unmatched because it’s near the beach and the happy hour prices are excellent. Service is attentive and the food quality is always on point. I love their oysters. This is the best casual upscale dining in the area.

The lobster burger it's out of this world! It is pricey yes I understand but I think once in a while it's worth it! The Cuban waiter it's super funny and Amazing!
