Playa Hermosa Fish & Oyster Co. provides an exceptional dining experience right on the Hermosa Beach front. With rave reviews highlighting the vibrant atmosphere, fresh seafood, and outstanding service, this seafood restaurant has quickly become a local favorite. Customers like Eva S. and Carissa Zimmer sing praises for the unforgettable service—Joey, in particular, has been noted for his infectious enthusiasm and commitment to customer satisfaction.

The culinary offerings do not disappoint either. Reviewers frequently mention the freshness of the seafood, with dishes like lobster bisque and crispy fish 'n' chips earning high marks for flavor and presentation. Amy Vetter recommends the refreshing cocktails, especially the "Jack Sparrow," complementing the laid-back vibe perfect for sunny beach days. Despite occasional delays due to staffing, as noted by Daein Park, the overall experience remains enjoyable.

As Sally emphasized, dining on the patio while indulging in delicious dishes and sunset views amplifies the charm of Playa Hermosa. This is not just a meal; it’s a memorable gathering that beckons you back for more.

I came here twice on my last trip to LA for work, once with a work colleague and once with my husband and I wasn’t disappointed either time! The cocktails were yummy (my fav was Jack Sparrow!) and the food was good too! We had lighter bites both times and would recommend (in fact I did to a few other work colleagues). All the wait staff were super friendly and just the vibes were laid back and cool. A great beach place to catch some sun & enjoy the area with good food and drinks.

First off, our server Joey was amazing. Literally one of, if not the best server our group (of 13) has ever had. He exuded joy and a genuine “I’m here to make this a great experience for you” vibe. Secondly, yum yum yum. All of the recommendations were spot on and our group definitely left more full than we thought possible. A must visit in my book!

Great food. Seafood was very fresh. Pasta was great. The location is right on front of the beach. The service was good overall. Seems it was a little bit short staff which caused a bit of delay. Definitely recommend

My mouth is still watering!!! The food was DELICIOUS!!! The shrimp was so fresh and tasty, the lobster bisque was divine, the fish n chips was cooked perfectly and nice and crispy. It was so wonderful to sit out on the patio and enjoy the sunshine and the view. Their cocktails are equally amazing and delicious. You honestly can’t go wrong here! Everyone was so nice and welcoming and knew the menu well and definitely did not steer me wrong. I. Can’t wait to go back!!!

We had an excellent lunch with a group of 12 of our friends before the beach Life festival. Check out some of the pictures and videos of beach life which is right next to this restaurant.

Ideally placed on Hermosa beach this restaurant offers a good menu, of course mainly fish and seafood oriented, however they do offer also a couple of vegetarian options such as their green veggie curry. They also have a decent lobster roll and swordfish sandwich. Good service, and great location. A bit pricey but you pay the location and terrace sightseeing...

We have been here numerous times inside as well as the patio and it has always been good food with relaxed, friendly service, making it feel right at home on the beach. There is some nice variety and spice on the menu. The restaurant has an open window to the kitchen and a bar at the back where they are known to put out some excellent drinks by locals in the know. There is a nice vibe and cool ocean island themed art on the walls. Parking is available in the parking structure just to the north of the pier plaza and also in the open lot just to the south. Overall this is a nice place you could do an informal event or a casual meal and you will have a great time.
