This is my new favorite place. They have organic juices, smoothies using TruVani protein powder (which I love) and amazing bowls. No soy, no corn, no gluten. The macro bowl was fantastic!! Highly recommend!!! Please consider opening one in Redondo Beach - we need something just like this. I would be you biggest fan!

Absolutely delicious! I had the butternut squash enchiladas and the chocolate mousse, along with a mocktail. I appreciate a vegan restaurant that has plenty of satisfying gluten free options, which Seabird does. The service was friendly and attentive. Enthusiastically recommended!!

NOT GLUTEN FREE: Shouldn’t Advertise as Gluten Free. You cook your so called GF chips in the same oil as everything else that’s not GF. Good thing I asked. Didn’t matter though, got cross contaminated eating the GF tacos and was sick for 2 days.

This place is great. It's a good place to get some work done. It's spacious with lots of places to sit inside and out. They have charging docs if you need to reup your tech juice. They have some specialty menu items. I personally love the bullet proof that has cacao or the turmeric latte. They have non-dairy milk alternatives which is great. I loooove their gluten free banana bread! They also have some pretty good jams playing in the background and the staff is super friendly.

They had a lot of soy sauce free options and most of the topping were naturally gluten free! They had gluten free soy sauce as well! We had the tuna and Octopus 🐙 with brown rice and it was very fresh and tasty! The spicy proteins are off limits because of soy sauce sadly. Overall had a nice experience and the staff was pretty friendly!

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Social and it was phenomenal. The head chef, Jeffrey Boullt, crafted a custom 5-course menu for us that fit our guests’ dietary restrictions (some vegan, some gluten free, some allergies, some small children). Every course was beautifully presented and delicious. We were blown away by his talent. Prior to the dinner, we had some preparatory phone calls with Marisa, who gathered all of our details and coordinated all aspects of the evening. She made the process easy, provided a quote to us the same day as our initial phone call, and even went so far as to print our menus with custom designs based on the “vibe” of our wedding - such a thoughtful surprise! We truly appreciated the personalized service from the entire team at Social. It was the perfect venue for our wedding-eve. We will definitely be back!

Descanso Restaurant is right next to Mokkohi Shabu Shabu and The Kebab Shop or The Shops at Mesa Verde. Tons of amply parking and additional spots to visit around the vicinity. Ambience was clean and customer service wasn't too bad. Overall a fun experience and can't wait for them to open up at The Grove in Los Angeles. We had the Clasico Guacamole Hass Avocado, Lime, White Onion, Serrano Chiles, Cilantro, Tomato on the side and Tortilla Chips Crispy Carnitas Skillet Seared Slow Cooked Pork, Pico de Gallo, Pickled Jalapeños, Refried Pinto Beans, Shaved Onion, Serrano Chiles, Micro Cilantro and Corn Tortillas. LOVE this about the restaurant which is a WIN IMO Only fresh, high quality ingredients sourced from local farms. They do not cook with lard and don’t believe in can openers. A majority of their menu is gluten free
