“ So here is my review of this place. 1- Decoration: 8/10 the decoration is nice.It's on the 2nd floor there's a balcony where you can see downtown Hermosa Beach. It's a bit small but good enough for families. I'd love the pictures of the surfers and skateboarding. 2- Ambiance: 8/10 The ambiance is very nice. There's a lot of people. There's a lot of family. It's especially good for sports games. Or just going to hang out with your friends. 3- The service: 6/10 now, on this point I was a little bit disappointed. The 1st day, the 2 girls were amazing. The waitress and the host. They're very kind, very polite. Suggested me stuff, but on the second day it was bad , the host gave me a place to sit. I waited for 20 to 30 minutes, but no one came to see me.So I moved placed, and one of the boys that works there told me very rude that I couldn't be there.I said okay, fine, and I left. 4- food : 9/10 The food is actually pretty good. I had the chicken wings Korean and a hamburger. It was very delicious as you can see in the pictures. They also do okay cocktails. Not the best, but okay, it's more I. Would say a beer place. 5- cleanest: 7/10 The restrooms were clean, but one toilet had an issue that was missing paper to clean your hands the table where you. They are almost always done some not but in general, it's pretty clean. Yes, I do recommend this place. ”
“ Went there spontaneously with our group just to grab some drinks, without expecting much from the food — but we were pleasantly surprised! We ordered the Pretzel, Pita & Hummus, Tuna Poke, and a variety of pizzas. The hummus was the clear standout — honestly, the best I’ve ever had, and I didn’t expect that from an American restaurant! The tuna poke was absolutely amazing too. Overall, great vibes, good service, and surprisingly delicious food. We all ended up loving the place and would definitely come back! ”
“ Great atmosphere, it's was PACKED! small cover charge if you're just going to the bar, no fee if you want a table , but there's a wait. The music was good, the food was amazing. I would def return when I go to Hermosa beach again ”
“ Working with Tower 12's Manager, Eyler, to host my sister's 40th birthday party was an absolute pleasure. From suggesting what area of the bar to host 30+ people to supplying a ladder and tape to hang decorations to offering a selection of delicious appetizers to taking our group picture to providing a seamless cleanup, the team at Tower 12 gave us an A+ experience. We will definitely be back! ”
“ I had been to the sister restaurant The Hideaway several times and was interested to see how Tower 12 compared. The service was excellent. I had the Mac n Cheese and the Blue Fin Poki. Both were tasty . The restaurant space itself is really funky. There are good spots and some places that aren't that great. Really narrow spaces and the Elevator is really primative but the staff was helpful using it. I was there for lunch on a weekday and it got busy. From the looks of it I would suspect the venue is very popular at night. ”
