位於Manhattan Beach​的優質季節料理餐廳

We love this restaurant, its staff, and restaurateur/chef, David Slay. He is so personable and visits every table. This is our favorite restaurant and "go to" spot. We always feel good being there. Wonderful vibe.

Thanksgiving Dinner at FwD!!! My daughter and I automatically passed on the yardbird and defaulted to the best hole in the wall seafood joint west of the Mississippi……..the sun was setting on a beautiful, warm day in MB and that called for the Queen Mary…..the “Mother of All Raw Seafood Platters”!! Oysters, clams, mussels, jumbo shrimp, Maine Lobster, King Crab, freshly chilled, plus all the special FwD dips and vinaigrettes and the Cape Cod Squash Rolls for some extra carbs. Next was the so delicious and creative Harissa spiced Octopus a la Plancha with a Peruvian cauliflower and hummus sauce…….Wow, that dish was so well executed by the boys in the back!! Of course I had to order the tried and true Maryland Blue Crab Cake and my daughter always gets the FwD signature grand slam Koshihikari Rice, a traditional Japanese umami dashi risotto style dish with raw egg yolk that I guarantee Shohei would love!! And of course that iconic Key Lime Pie is the only way to end a fantastic meal here……..hats off and super thanks to server Akela and Manager Katie, Server Jess and Hostess Kaylee, the entire FwD crew working hard on Thanksgiving!! Happy Holidays!!!

We ate here for Thanksgiving dinner and it was perfect. Atmosphere was festive, food was delicious and just the right amount, and of course we had the famous biscuits which were to die for. Will definitely come back and experience the fantastic service and food again.

The Arthur J is the best restaurant in Manhattan Beach and that is saying a lot. I love the room, the service is friendly and prompt and the food is excellent. You can't miss with this one.

Flavors of each dish were wonderful. Homemade & rich flavors for each pasta dish added to the enjoyment. Burrata w/ roasted fruits could be a dessert!
