Darren’s Restaurant has been part of the fabric of Manhattan Beach for the last 20 years, and has recently announced the end of an old era and the beginning of a new era. “After almost a year of overseeing the planning, design and preparing for the renovation, I couldn’t be more delighted to share this labor of love with familiar faces and first-time guests alike,” says owner Darren Weiss.
They have revamped their menu, atmosphere, and are ushering in a new vision that is casual, and comfortable while maintaining excellent food and drinks.
The ‘new’ Darren’s Restaurant has reopened their doors as of July 11th, after having extensive interior and exterior renovations done, and the reinvention of their menu.

They also changed the interior of the restaurant,and are updating the menu to enable a more social atmosphere for their fun regulars and new guests.
It now has a centralized community table, a wonderful floor-to-ceiling glass exterior, with a very light and “airy” ambiance. They have created a contemporary European vibe that maintains the comforting and appealing environment that has made Darren’s so great.
Darren’s is hosting a dinner on July 29 at 7 p.m. that celebrates the reopening and also benefits the No Limits for Deaf Children organization. Tickets for this event go on sale Monday, July 14 and a percentage of ticket proceeds benefits the organization.
