In Manhattan Beach there sits a grand mission-style structure that resembles the kind you might see on a weekend tour of the wine country. This is the Tin Roof Bistro. The inside is decorated like an Italian villa, painted with warm creamy hues and accented with a tin-paneled ceiling. Wooden tables and bistro chairs abound and wine bottle light fixtures dangle above a long mahogany bar. Outside, guests can enjoy a picturesque fountain courtyard, or play a game of bocce ball. Though the scene is set for an exclusively Italian experience, the Tin Roof Bistro offers an exceedingly multinational menu. Sure, there is no shortage of wine offerings and there’s fresh pizza coming out of the flaming brick oven, but you can just as easily order an excellent dinner of fish ‘n’ chips, spicy tuna spring rolls, or a lamb burger. To say that the menu is regionally well-represented would be an understatement, which makes it all the more enticing! For private events, the bistro offers it’s lovely wine cellar for intimate dining, or the outdoor patio for an al fresco experience.
