Best restaurant in the South Bay (of LA)

If you’re looking for a nice dinner in the South Bay, Christine is the only place to go. The cuisine is
“contemporary Pacific Rim and Mediterranean with French influences”, but I just call it Californian.
This place feels very much like Chez Panisse. Tucked away in a tiny business plaza, it’s very easy to miss. The dining room is intimate, but has a very casual, relaxed vibe. Overall, Christine fits right in with the affluent-yet-informal city of Palos Verdes (which is right up the hill).
As far as the food goes, the brick-flattened chicken is excellent, as well as their risotto (usually) and pork chops. Their Oven Roasted Filet Mignon Medallions are also very popular.
But, you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu- at the very least it’ll still be good.
