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. 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. 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!

The food we ordered was ok, it feels more like Cisco quality. Oysters was already pre prep in the shell not fresh, my fish and chips was lame i can barely taste the fish and coated with lots of batter the coleslaw was definitely old, it looks dark enzymatic browning. My boyfriend had chicken and pasta, the sauce was good but the chicken was not fresh cook the texture was like microwaved or pre heated. The only food I was happy was the bread and the olive oil dip. Service was not great either, we had to ask for silverware, for an appetizer plate fir salt and pepper, no water served, server wasn’t really attentive. Athmosphere was ok smaller than I was expecting.
