Reviews for Tower 12 in Hermosa Beach, CA
This is a very strange restaurant. The lower floor has almost the vibe of garden cafe, with a sports bar upstairs. The furniture... and decor in the garden area is very inconsistent - there is almost nothing that matches, some tables are beautiful while othersare dirty and stuck with paper, etc. The cocktails were perfectly fine. As for the food: White bean hummus was bland, and all Icould taste was lemon. The celery was browning/floppy/not very fresh. Pita it came with had herb butter and finishing saltvisible, but all I could taste was the salt. Blue cheese burger had a mountain of arugula and pickled onions. The only bluecheese I found was a strange aioli that wasn't terribly appetizing. The meat itself had no seasoning whatsoever, and tasted verymuch like a frozen patty that was dropped on a grill. The arugula and fennel salad is, in fact, a salad consisting of onlyarugula and fennel, which is an odd choice. The dressing that comes with it seems to be a lemon juice/olive oil vinaigrette;however, it is not nearly enough to cut through the arugula's bitter earthiness. Overall, I am deeply underwhelmed and will notbe returning. This restaurant is probably not worth it unless you are visiting for the sports bar upstairs. Read more
Basil Chicken Pesto was good! Sat at the back bar which was quiet on a Sunday afternoon. Kind service
My overall experience was mediocre, we had the meatballs that were bad. Not much flavor in the meatballs themselves or the... sauce.. we also had the short ribs, they were close to an hour to come out but were pretty good. Sorry I don?t have a pic myphone died.. Read more
Food and drinks are good here. The view is the reason to come here. The bartender was very good and was apologetic when my order... was forgotten about. The online orders were taking more importance over the in person customers. Read more

We ordered a drink that was advertised as a souvenir glass to take home, but when we went to leave the bouncer wouldn't let us... keep it. We tried to show him the menu listing the offer but he refused to look. Excellent way to leave a bad impression.Recommend any of the other bars in the area to avoid rude surprises. Edit: Also just realized the prices on my receipt are allhigher than advertised on the menu. As mentioned in the original review, be prepared for many rude surprises! Read more
Pretty good place. Service was excellent. Most of the food was really good. The only complaint or negative really would be the... "seasonal vegetables" an alternative to fries which weren't cooked thru and had very little flavor at that. It's weird tocombine brussels and root veggies. It just didn't work texture or taste wise. Hopefully they fix that otherwise the chickensandwich (grilled instead of fried) was epic flavors + thanks to our server for making that recommendation! Read more
We went pretty late at night around 10 PM. It was pretty crowded. There was long wait time. We had few beers on bar rather... waiting for food. Service was good. Atmosphere was like party ambience. Loud music, enjoyable atmosphere. This place will begood for small group planning for drink and music. Won't recommend for kids. Read more
