Saint & Second Opens in Manhattan Beach
Aug 27, 2025 10:31PM ● By Jeanne Fratello
The Manhattan Beach location is the restaurant's newest outpost, following the original location in Long Beach's Belmont Shore, and a second location in Topanga. The restaurant is part of the Hofman Hospitality Group (Hof’s Hut, Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que), a family-owned business with deep Southern California roots.
To build out the new location, the Hofman family worked with California artists to bring together curated pieces that embrace the coastal surroundings and textures, tones, and natural beauty of the area. Fans of Saint & Second will notice that the new space features a softer, sun-washed palette.

Hofman: Manhattan Beach felt like a natural choice for us. The beach cities embody the same spirit we celebrate at Saint & Second—coastal, vibrant, and community-minded. It’s the perfect fit for our style of dining and hospitality.
MB News: What are some of the most popular dishes (and cocktails)?

For cocktails, our classic Bonded Old Fashioned and The Missing Link - a seasonal cocktail made with Casa Dragones Blanco Tequila, Legendario Domingo Mezcal, lime cordial, and yuzu kosho are guest favorites. Ultimately, our ever-changing menu gives guests something seasonal and fresh to look forward to throughout the year.
