Beechwood Restaurant

The food was better than average bar food - but don't expect to pay bar food prices. We ordered appetizers, a mix of entrees and dessert (the works) and everything was ok. The cherry on top of our otherwise mediocre evening was to have the

Great drinks and good service. However a bit expensive but what do you expect in the Marina. It's also not that crowded usually so you can actually have a conversation without shouting for the most part. A good chill weekend lounge spot.

Pros: Great atmosphere and generally not too crowded

Cons: Expensive

I couldn't believe how bad the service was and there were only a hand full of customers. It got way worse from there. My wife got a salad that was BROWN and smelled like garbage. When we tried to return it, the manager told us that it

Cons: The food is SOOOOO disgusting! Never go! Yuck!

We (7 people) spent three hours drinking and eating and then were asked to move inside because another party showed up. They movedus near the bthroom area indoors. Manager was the worst - snapped at me and told me to sit down. Waste of

I went there with a party of 10. We ate in the "back" room. The front part of the house seemed much more happening so if I were a small party I'd recommend going without a rez and eating apps there. Scallop app was good as was the Duck

Pros: Menu, Service

Cons: Spagetti Squash

I have been to this place few times now and I honestly always enjoy the experience. I like the place itself and the atmosphere, and I love sitting around the fireplace. The food is pretty good, just not enough for the 4th star on my

Pros: ambience

A great place, Food and Service....\r

Went last night the the place was packed, We first had dinner in the back dinning room. After filling up on a great dinner, we moved to the lounge to finish the night.. \r

We always love

Wow. I used to come here alot and dealt with mediocre service, whatever---to be expected. But tonight= outright RUDE management.\r
Way too long of a story to spend time on, but as a previous bar / club manager...i was met with the most

All reviews on this site commenting on the rude and arrogance of the staff here are entirely true. My husband and I went here for a nice quiet Saturday night dinner. We were led into an EMPTY dining room, with 3 of the approx 10 booths

Pros: When we left before even ordering, valets did not charge us

Cons: Service, attitude, its empty

I went to Beechwood for a friend?s birthday. Service was extremely slow. It took over 45 minutes for our dinner to arrive once ordered. I ordered the red snapper. When the waitress brought out my dish a horrible odor of fish engulfed

Pros: Nice atmosphere.

Cons: Service, food, management

This hole in the wall is full of 21 year olds tring way too hard. The same is true of the staff. The place smells and everyone is standing around like there in a nice place. They dropped an order of fries on the floor and picked it up

Pros: easy to find

Cons: ambience, parking, service, food safety

This could be a cute dive, but the snooty staff and car noice destroy any chance for a nice dinner. limited bar mean you can't get the brands you want. Staff not well trained. the patio is like a trash bumpseter enclosure. It's like a

Pros: near beach

Cons: Staff, car noise

We went to Beechwood the other night, the service was good. My girlfriend had Snapper and I had the chicken. Both were very good. I like the chicken more, but I ?m more of a steak and potatoes guy. My girlfriend loved the snapper

This is a hard one to write. I once loved Beechwood and would bring anyone there who came into town to visit, but until recent this place has gone from "Great food and service" to "STAY AWAY." I actually signed up for Citysearch just to

Pros: The food is great and the restaurant looks cool

Cons: Management and staff are rude and not worth the trip

We have been to Beachwood numerous times. The food is really good, the drinks are weak/overpriced and the pompous waitresses and management are disgusting. They act like their patrons are lucky to be there, total jerks with no

i took a friend from manhattan and a friend from denmark to this dump. neither of them could figure out why in the world the doorman/bouncer or the bartender were so dang arrogant. the bartender told me that i "need to tip" him. uh, yea,

Pros: valet parking

Cons: its existence in entirety

I had a great time here. The only downside was that I had a reservation, but still had to wait about 30-45 min. to get a table. Fortunately, there's a great bar and heated patio. I highly recommend this place for drinks, dinner, or

In two words, baseless arrogance. Despite a decor that would be cutting edge for a suburban Chili's in Wisconsin, the staff at the Beechwood seems to think that they belong on a movie set. After taking a friend from out of town to this

Cons: Service, outdated decor

Ah, yes, the rude, pregnant brunette hostess. I have read that others have felt her icky stare and her overbearing presence also. My date and I had just sat down with a couple nice glasses of wine. My date had her feet tucked under her on

Pros: nice, relaxing atmosphere

Cons: bad, tense atmosphere

Ok, first off...to the people who wrote the awful reviews of this place, don't have a sense of a great discreet flavorful eccentric gem of a restaurant if it got lodged in your throat when you were eating it. The food at this place is

Pros: Great service, inexpensive for most LA hotspots, great drinks, great bottled wine menu

Cons: A bit noisy when room is full, you might need to drive around a few times to find the place.

My friend and I went to Beechwood pretty late on a Friday night. The place was packed, playing great music, and since we just wanted drinks and dessert, we weren't sure where to go. The hostess was really nice and told us to grab a drink

Pros: service, music, decor

Cons: crowded, noisy

I went to this restaurant for my birthday dinner with a few friends,the worse night. \r
The food was ineatable, The chef had a very heavy hand with the salt.Called when we told the waiter this he had no response, usually if you have a

Cons: valet parking

I love this place! You can get dressed up or where jeans! Anything goes. The food is great, they have great yam fries! It has a nice restaurant section that is seperate from the bar area. So you can have a romantic dinner, and then

Pros: Good prices, great food, amazing atmosphere

This place doesn't have great service, nor does it have enough room, but if you're lucky enough to grab a booth and a menu.. order the Burger. It's amazing... and I don't want to rock the boat here, but it may be better than Fathers

I want to preface by saying I am in the business and I know the challenges of running a restaurant.\r
Our experience at Beechwood Cafe was unforgivable and I choose not to bother to write to the management because I don't want anything

Pros: one nice server

Cons: food, rude staff

Anyone who had a negative review about this place is a moron. I was there this past Saturday for my birthday. We had a table for 8 people and everyone of us were very impressed with the whole night. The service was great (Mia was our

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Beechwood is the kind of restaurant that seems too trendy to serve great food; but this is in fact not the case. Despite the orange booths and undulating chandeliers, Beechwood's menu is stocked with great surf n' turf dishes, most notably

Went on Saturday around 11pm, so the place was packed but my 3 friends and I were fortunate to snag a table. Service was very nice and fast. Had the lamb meatballs - the definition of delicious! Also had the burger which was ok but

Pros: service, location, ambience, lamb meatballs

My boyfriend and I tried out Beechwood b/c we very curious why this trendly looking place was doing in the middle of now where. We went on a Wednesday night, so it obviously wasn't very crowded. We were given the option to sit at the

I brought my girl there for the Valentine's day dinner thingy, I thought well, since they have a fix price menu the food should be okay. NO ... it's not okay. I had a duck confeit and turn out it's green bean, potato, and 2 tiny pieces of

I was at Beechwood on the night that user "mrichland" was here. Let me tell you that this person is a liar! I was on the patio with a couple of friends and this idiot and his pals were completely intoxicated, obnoxious, loud and

Pros: ambience, amazing bar menu and cool local joint

Cons: don't come here on a weekend night! all idiots that aren't locals causing trouble!

I recently visited this establishment on a weekend night. It was in fact my bday celebration. After having a good time and consuming some beverages our friend's girl friend was kicked out and left alone on the streets of Venice, CA to

Pros: No pros, this place is terrible

Cons: If you'd like to be attacked by a bouncer this is the place to go. Mgmnt is terrible and rude

Order your drinks and head out back for their firepit. It's a great place to meet up with coworkers and toss back a few, along with some really good food.

Skip the dungeon-like dining room and sit outside by the firepit. You can order the full restauarant menu or the bar menu (mmmmm do I love their pulled pork sandwich and their skinny fries with aioli....)

I took my in-laws from out of town to Beechwood for a nice, LA dinner. First, we waited, and waited and waited...sat outside, drinking wine, too much wine...and then FINALLY after an hour wait, we were seated. Our server was nice and

Pros: Outside, Price

Cons: Loud, Long Wait, Crowded

I live a short walk from Beechwood and make regular visits. I've only eaten in the dining room once, where the food was good, but the room was loud. The real place to be is the bar/patio. It's classy but low-key, with a great menu -

Pros: Food, ambiance

Cons: so-so service

I was not impressed with Beechwood. It was so dark on the patio I could barely see my friends. Furthermore, a cocktail waitress actually elbowed me out of her way! The bartender wasn't much nicer.

Restaurant overcharged our party by two plates. Granted it was a large party. One of the plates on the receipt, no one ordered. The other was a duplicate.

Pros: N/A

Cons: Restaurant overcharged our party by two plates.

Great food, and an EXCELLENT value (only one entree over $20). A beautiful space, as well...the lounge is comfortable, the service was very friendly.\r
\r
But the food and the prices were terrific. 4 apps, 4 entrees, 3 desserts, a bottle

Pros: Food, Lounge, Price

Best sweet potato fries I have ever had. All the other dishes were good too. They have a good selection of bar food for the lounge/patio area that is all decently priced.

Pros: Sweet Potato Fries, Outdoor Seating, Valet Parking

Cons: Crowded on Weekends

I've been here a few times and usually enjoy everything I try which has included the burger, sweet potato fries, lamb meatballs, various salads, albacore and a couple other things. This last time I had the pressed pork sandwich and it was

Pros: most of the food

Cons: Drink prices

Most of us like to go the Westside to escape the bouncers with attitudes. Unfortunately, the doormen at this place think they're in Hollywood. This is one of those places that will build a line up to the sidewalk to make it look like

Pros: Location

Cons: Rude Staff, High Prices

Sadly, this place has all the makings of a flash-in-the-pan establishment, which is a shame; because we really love it. Delicious entrees, a cool atmosphere and great bar vibe make this a good place for starting out the weekend or for

Pros: Cool bar, yummy apps & dessert

Our evening at Beechwood started out well enough. No problem making a reservation even though we were a large party. The food was quite nice. The skirt steak I had was one of the best I've ever had. Everything was a bit over-priced but

I can't believe how many people they let into this joint! It is impossible to move, let alone get a cocktail. I went with a few of my girlfriends this week-end and we were bombarded by annoying over-done men who must have gotten lost on

Pros: close to other good b

Cons: OVEROWDED, OVERPRICED

Cool interior, but lots of noise. The hostess counter is easy to miss, as it blends into the bar. The outdoor firepit/louge area is a neat twist, but dining here was less than impressive. It took 15 minutes to get a drink order and water.

Pros: great food, fun bar menu

Cons: lack-luster service, really noisy
