Surprisingly this place was not full of people yet it sits right on the pier. Maybe it was timing but I got a seat right at the bar but there were plenty of tables available. I don't recall the time but after about an hour or so, it was filling pretty quickly. I watched the bartender make drinks while I ate my calamari, which was very tasty but a tad well done. They took so much care in making each drink paying special attention to detail.
Christopher was an awesome waiter. Waiting tables and making drinks and taking great care of us all at the same time. Kudos to Christopher!!
Great service from the waiter Jack , everyone was very nice and attentive we really enjoyed the food and the service, even stayed for dessert and got my son's birthday celebration going with the delicious churro dessert and crèmeburle
This place is soooooo cool! I got food late and rats are in the kitchen!!! :DD it was fun I liked this place
If you have lived in various beach towns anywhere, as I have, you will instantly get the vibe of R10 Social. It is basically what I would call a "shell shack", a fish joint decorated in shabby chic (maybe, unintentionally?). That is, casual, marine atmospheric, funky, worn, OG, you name it. It's all that here and more. That is its strength and possible mild drawback. Don't come expecting upscale or fancy digs. The food is good, even very good, but what you really come for is the setting. It is the pure luxury of the lazy boating life of the coupon-clippers. Just float up to the dock, pop on some flip-flops, and dig into fish and chips with beer. I was at a private party over the weekend, so I cannot speak to the menu or the service for regular meals. The food was good, i.e., steak, asparagus, salmon, and roasted potatoes. The dessert was a variety of amuse-bouches, mostly creamy, as in mini cheesecakes, etc. The staff were efficient and casually friendly, buzzing around almost unseen, making sure everyone was fed and watered properly (and we were). Unless you live nearby and can walk here, take a minute to consider the entire parking situation. When I arrived, driving 1.5 hours from home, the entry gate for the parking next to R10 said "closed". So, I elected to park on the street at a meter. Not the end of the world, but I was toting gifts and would have appreciated parking behind the restaurant. Apparently there was a second gate, but I couldn't know that. So, as a courtesy to fellow Yelpers, look for that second gate if the main one is closed. However, the street fare was good, 3.5 hours for $6.00. Further note of caution: don't try the upper floor unless you are completely nimble. There is no elevator, no ramp, nada. Our group included a 95 year old, a couple of people recovering from various bugs, and me, who had sprained my leg. I found the stairs to the top to be a punishment. Also, again, unless you are schlepping here early in the morning or after sleeping in, and want some sun on your face, this place will sparkle and glow more after dark. I recommend coming as sun sets, for out of towners. Good place, easy eating, no fuss.
stopped by for a quick lunch and was quite satisfied ordered the risotto and fish tacos: risotto was so delicious!! basically inhaled the whole plate the fish tacos are also great but lacked sauce. would ask for tartar sauce next time. otherwise, the rest of the dish was perfect service was ok, nice but nothing out of the ordinary overall a solid place to come for a bite near the beach

This place, I trusted, as one of the pit stops in my primary birthday celebration of the past birthday month. I am the type of person who celebrates a birthday month. The reason is simple--not everyone gets to live to see their next birthday. And each time I do, I want to thank the mighty forces of the Earth and beyond for keeping me around: to be silly, to be loud, and to help when I can and when I am allowed to. So yes, I want to blow out candles, eat frosting, and hear "Happy Birthday" in lyrical form because life has granted me another spin around the sun. If you remember that, then a person's birthday will not be just another day but a true cause for celebration. This belief led me to R10 because, when I am there, time seems to slow down--perhaps because I am having fun. R10 (I wonder how the joint got its name) is located at the Redondo Beach Pier, or close to it. When you get a booth next to a window, you can see the Redondo Beach wharf, full of boats and wood. I allow myself to imagine that I am a weary sea captain who has stumbled into this place, eager to escape the sea for a spell and enjoy the land while sipping on cocktails. When I want to enjoy the land, I do so at this place. My cocktail of choice here is the "Blackbeard," a twist on a vodka sour with blackberry. What would a seaworthy captain do to acknowledge the greatness of a drink? Burp in delight, wipe the suds from his face (some remaining on his beard), and open his single eye--the one not covered by a patch--widely, also with delight. I know I said "delight" twice, but I assume pirates are not profoundly eloquent. I mean, they used an X to mark a spot and didn't require people to find treasure behind a riddle or clever puzzle. I digress. The drinks and atmosphere conspire to make the air sweet in metaphor, as one cannot escape the salty air of the beach. In terms of food and service, the place is stable--like a plank should be, because you want a person to walk the plank and drop to their death by force, not due to substandard craftsmanship. This place is great! The imaginary parrot on my shoulder agreed and echoed, "This place is great!"
A night out with the family that consisted of long walks along the beach while the princess rode her bike; we worked up an appetite. Trying not to drive around town looking for a spot to eat, we decided to stop at R10 Social House..... And I'm glad we did. There was little to no wait time to be seated (busy night). The staff was friendly and made recommendations on what we should try and what pairs together nicely. I settled for a Pull Pork sandwich with fries & beer and my wife got calamari with a sangria on the side. The food was delicious, fresh and hot. definitely a new go to spot when we are down by Redondo Beach. If you haven't stopped by, you should give this spot a try.
R/10 has the best fish and chips in Redondo Beach. You will just love them. They are not super crispy so if you want that order something else. They are deep fried and there is real cod as the fish and the batter is just yummy. There is nothing not to like about R/10. It has a beautiful location at the Redondo Beach Pier, it is always kept super clean, reservations are seated on time and often you don't need a reservation. It is large with pretty booths and great table and chair seating. Parking for free is nearby or better to just pay the fee and park, you can then walk the pier after. The service is great. The servers know the menu and it is a mighty menu and can guide you. Our server was ever so kind and was very patient with my speech delayed grandson. He got his order right and he made him feel like he mattered. You are never rushed. The food comes pretty fast. They also have the best chowder and we love their sea bass and soul. They even have burgers that are great. We have been a few times now and are just so happy and relaxed to be there. It is never too loud. It is just lovely.
