A fresh coastal vibe has arrived in the South Bay. Montauk — the highly anticipated new restaurant in Redondo Beach — opened its doors with style, welcoming friends, neighbors, and curious food lovers to experience its warm, East Coast–inspired ambiance. Thoughtfully designed by Palos Verdes resident LaVae McClinnahan with impeccable attention to detail, the space blends modern elegance with beach-town charm. From handcrafted cocktails to elevated seaside plates, Montauk signals an exciting new chapter for the local dining scene — and we were thrilled to capture the celebration from day one.
