Tin Roof Bistro

About the Business

History

Established in 2009.

After moving back to Manhattan Beach from Napa Valley in 2005, I was on the hunt for the perfect location for my dream restaurant. The idea for Tin Roof Bistro came from my experiences living and working in St. Helena, Napa Valley. I loved the chef-inspired dishes prepared with local products and the exceptional wines made by friendly, passionate farmers. I knew I wasn't the only person with this appreciation and felt that with my family's history in the restaurant industry here, Los Angeles would be a great platform to open my first spot. After 18 months of location hunting, It wasn't until I left my dentist's office, replaced by our current neighbor Susie Cakes, I noticed a billboard advertising restaurant space. Having been office space for nearly 30 years, I had a lot of fun dreaming up a plan to convert it to a restaurant. Three years later, my vision finally became reality and we opened our doors on July 27th, 2009.

Business Owner

Besides the most important fact that I love to eat great food and drink delicious wines, I'm also an Aquarius who loves to live by the ocean.  I created Tin Roof Bistro to be a place where I would go to eat.   My experience managing upscale restaurants in Napa Valley showed me that gourmet food and boutique wines don't have to come at upscale prices.  Further, I learned I don't like to wear dress suits and ties while working or dining.  So, I made Tin Roof's atmosphere fun, comfortable and inviting.  I mentioned earlier that I'm an Aquarius.  As my Aunt once put it, being an Aquarius means I have to throw a party even when paying my bills.  Between this and being a fourth generation restaurateur, you could say I was born to serve you.  Please join me at Tin Roof Bistro to share in my dream and passion. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
