If you just want to spend some money on dinner - go to HT Grill in Redondo.
The best thing about our experience was the bread brought to our table by our friendly busboy kevin. Sit on the front patio if you'd like to inhale the cigarette smoke of every diner, wait and kitchen staff in need of a puff out by the valet stand.
All of our food - appetizer, salad and meals (cioppino and salmon) - was of an average dining experience. AND our server was a grump when we asked about the specials and wine.
The only safe bet for this place (which did I mention was a big disappointment) is to go for a nightcap and sit by the outdoor fireplace. Sorry HTs the Village Bistro is a great concept in an area in need of some non-bar dining but you just don't shape up.
Pros: Outdoor Fireplace
Cons: Price, Average Food, Loud, Crowded
