Chez Melange/Bouzy Gastropub/Bar 150

Bouzys is great! I love the dark ambience with round booths. Their bottomless mimosas on Sundays are truly bottomless and they will hold the juice if you want. Too bad they don’t have it on Saturdays any more :(I like the eclectic menu with a variety of choices. The staff are so nice and accommodating. A very comfortable place!

So we came here for some Sunday vacation breakfast. My brunch guide was a handsome highlander known by the name of «Matt» (see photos attached). First, this «Matt», suggestively sold me on the «bottomless mimosas «. Delighted by the suggestion! They literally never went dry. A pleasant refill specialist names Stephanie ensured that never happened.
I ate something called «panchitos», this is what Matt (see photos and reference above) suggested. What a mench! Love this man. The photos show crazy great value for an ultimate venue close to the beach. And it was all bomb baby! BOTTOMLESS MIMOSSAS!

Had a great meal tonight at bouzy’s. The ambiance is a pub feeling with menu items that will dance on your palate. The beverage menu is also top notch with vino and beer that will meet most needs. I actually had a great talk with the owner Michael. Very cool guy who has a passion for great food and drink.

Had a great time in the private room for our party of 15. They recognized our special occasion with a table sign and complimentary dessert; a cake/​gift table was set up for us to use. Entrees were good, I’d stay away from the Kungo Pao asparagus appetizer, 6 bottles of wine were decent but not outstanding, desserts were good and cocktails were just okay. French waiter was over the top but very attentive. We appreciated that they allowed us to stay 45 minutes after closing. Valet parking. All and all this was a great evening.

Love this place! I’ve been coming here for years now and always receive the best service. The food quality is incredible, Bouzy’s has by far the most eclectic and interesting menu in the South Bay. You can even bring in your own vinyl records and they’ll play them for you at the bar! The owner Michael is a lovely human who will always stop by your table to make sure you’re enjoying your meal. Roxanne and Matt are extremely personable servers that have become more so friends. Whenever I have friends in town visiting, I always bring them here.

Rating is for THE BEST SPICY BLOODY MARY I have ever had! And I’ve had my fair share. They know what spicy means! And the salty green olives are divine.

I’ve been coming here for 10 years now!
The owners, Michael, Lisa and Robert are like family now. Don’t forget about our favorite waiter, Gary (he’s the guy with the French accent– you’ll know who I’m talking about)
Let’s talk favorite dishes:
Truffle Fries
Avocado Toast (I love their brunch!)
Chicken Parm
Beef Ribs
Mac & Cheese
Bouzy Burger
Chez Burger
Sicilian Spaghetti
Twice Cooked Pork (if you can snag it before it sells out!)
The Wedge Salad
The Sunmer Salad
The Beet Salad
… Now that I think about it, all of the salads are amazing!
Dessert: all of them are tasty but the key lime tart is a winner for me!
Thank you to the wonderful staff here for always take amazing care of my family. I hope everyone who reads this, gets Gary as a server because he will quickly make you laugh. I’ve known him for 7 years now! He’s so personable and definitely a favorite here. I love that the owners make their rounds nightly just to say hi.

Pretty pricey per person $$$. My table ordered a few bottles of wine and there were 12 of us and we all ordered entrées. A few desserts and apps. We paid $ 100/​person. The bone marrow appetizer comes with a grilled artisan sourdough bread. It’s burnt and so I asked the server if this was normal and he said no and that he will replace it. We already finished the marrow and the burnt toast was never replaced. Another appetizer we ordered was Kung Pao asparagus. It’s sweet and not really good. For my entrée I ordered the Zarzuela. I was intrigued by it because it reminded me of a Cioppino. The sauce was tasty but some of the shellfish were empty. All the mussels in my bowl were empty. My husband ordered their ribeye, medium. His ribeye had the wrong temperature it was medium well but it was still tasty. For the dessert we ordered the Chocolate Soufflé and Budino. The Soufflé was not really a Soufflé the chocolate didn’t ooze out. This was more of a cupcake. As for my Budino it was quite tasty but it lacked texture.

Chez Mélange continues to be a trend setter and leads the way with new and innovative dishes and starting new trends, they have been the first with a number of exciting things in the southbay from seafood carts to trust the chef and many other exciting ideas. now once again they are leading/​bringing back a wonderful old/​new again concept «the supper club».it has been held twice now, usually around the end of the month and always sells out. not only are there incredible food items recreated from the past, such as steak Diane, veal Oscar, duck ala orange, sole Florentine and others, they have a magnificent jazz band complete with vocalists crooning out the old standards… the staff also joins in the fun with period dress led by the lovely and talented Lisa, ably accompanied by the knowledgeable and affable Gary and Stryker, and don’t miss the throw back cocktails perfectly mixed by Drew, and very fitting for the evening, yummy… we have attended both previous «Suppers» and are so glad to hear they are continuing them. don’t miss it, Check with Chez for the date of the next, but i think it may be Sunday June 26 don’t miss this, you will not disappointed we are so lucky to have this incredible restaurant with wonderful food, new ideas and attentive staff in our own backyard. we love you Chez, Bouzy and Bar 150

We have been going to Chez for years and it is one of our all time favorites. The menu offers great variety and keeps changing with the seasons.
One of the main reasons for our loyalty is Gary, one of the most professional servers in the South Bay. He goes to great length to give advise regarding seasonal menu items and suggests the perfect wine pairing. even when the place is jammed, he keeps his sense of humor and provides great service. A true gem.
During our last visit we had the Octopus appetizer, Brussels sprouts, the seafood pasta zarzuela and the hangar steak. It was all prepared to perfection.

Great service and atmosphere. Food is a little inconsistent, but generally quite good. We come here frequently as a couple for date night, or drinks, and when guests visit from out of town we bring them here.
Their brunch is one of my favorites in town, and they often have fun live music. We bring the kids for brunch!
Love the place overall. I’d like to see them overhaul the menu and modernize a little bit, but really its a star in the neighborhood.

The food was pretty good but the waiter that had a strong French accent was very arrogant and somewhat rude at times. We went there a couple of nights ago for a girls dinner and he was very pushy about making us order alcoholic drinks. When we declined, he rudely took the menu away and was condescending from then on. We enjoyed the dinner regardless but this man needs to acclimate himself with American customer service.

My Fiancé and I celebrated our anniversary there last night and I am just so grateful for all the gestures from the restaurant.
They had a super cute «Happy Anniversary «tag and they greeted us with some delicous champagne!
Our Waitress was so helpful and kind it just made our night!
I wish I would of gotten her name!
CAULIFLOWER & CORN dish with pesto was amazing!
& last but not least they gave us a complimentary chocolate cake just for our anniversary!
I recommend this place for any type of intimate celebration or just to hang out and have a delicious glass of wine!
THANK YOU SO MUCH CHEZ MELANGE!

Thanks a lot for your amazing customer service!
Last night, after a series of small incidents (they were out of what we wanted, the food took a very long time and the fries were cold when they arrived), we were not complaining, we only pointed out the cold fries. The owner came, apologized for the wait, served us more wine and at the end, comped our food! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for going above and beyond good customer service!
It had been a while since I had been to Chez Mélange and Bouzys, but I will come back soon. And often. Thank you very much!

Duck Burger — SO excellent. It got the award for best dish at the table (see photo). The goat cheese and the vinegar on the greens went extraordinarily well with the duck patty itself which was perfectly cooked, juicy, and melt in your mouth-​y ⁵⁄₅.
Shrimp Po’ Boy — This was also a decent sandwich — bread was soft, shrimp weren’t rubbery and had nice flavor. It wasn’t spectacularly different in any way, but a solid performance. ⁴⁄₅
Shrimp avocado toast — Very tasty, creamy and fresh avocados and the toast was nice and crispy. The shrimp were large and well-​prepared but annoyingly had the tail on. I get it needs to be cooked with tail on for maximum flavor but I do not understand why during final preparations the chefs cannot remove it. I’m always worried I’m going to leave a leetle bit of shell on there! Either way — it was tasty and I give it ⁵⁄₅.
Meatloaf grilled cheese — this sounded great but didn’t end up being very tasty at all. As a rule, I prefer a creamy and perhaps less-​refined quality to my grilled cheese (American cheese not Swiss!) so I had high hopes! But this sandwich just seemed cheap when the meatloaf was cooked all up in it. The meat didn’t add any salty offset, like a ham or bacon would, just seemed mealy when mixed in with the melted cheese ³⁄₅.
Truffle fries — These are VERY truffle-​y, whereas at some restaurants it’s barely a little smack of truffle oil. However, as other reviewers have noted the fries do seem a bit overdone. I don’t think it’s the age of the oil I think they just leave them cooking for longer than I personally would prefer. Others at my table seemed to be ok with it tho ⁴⁄₅.
Bloody Mary — My favorite drink at any hour of the day — and this one did the trick! A nice rich, thick mix is the best for making house vodka palatable. I added a little pepper because that is my jam. ⁵⁄₅
Other things I enjoyed about the restaurant include the ADORABLY decorated patio, dog friendly seal of approval on said patio, and the relatively affordable price for the quality of food.

We ate here with a group of friends on a random Thursday night. The service was excellent, and our group felt very comfortable seated in the dining room. Our waiter did a great job all evening.
The drink selections were plentiful and well thought out. We had several great options for wine with dinner.
The menu was about half small plates ot apps and half entrées. We had fried clams, parmesean fries, pâté, and calamari. The portions were average, and all of the dishes were thoughtfully prepared, but other than the pâté the food was about average.
The rest of the meal was okay. The Shepard’s Pie came highly recommended, and it was pretty good. I’m not sure anyone else’s meal was amazing, but there were no bad surprises either.
Overall, this is a a great place for a date or quiet dinner for people who want to try (or share) several dishes and have sophisticated food preferences. It has an old school and personalized feel to it, but doesn’t have a huge menu (the dessert menu only had two items).

I had dinner here last night with a few friends, and everything was superb. I ordered a glass of Tempranillo, and I had the swordfish for my entrée. It was exceptional! Other dishes that were ordered were the chicken Parmesan, rack of lamb, and the scallops. Every portion was large except the scallops. I believe there were only two, which for $ 27 is a bit steep.
My friends all had Moscow mules, and everyone seemed to enjoy them!

Once again – this village favorite delivered a great meal as the end of a perfect day in SoCal! We popped in at the last minute, six hungry souls including an over-​tired young’un. Seated right away at two patio tables – the heaters were a nice touch. The girls opted to share the Southern Fried Chicken Salad (so glad this has remained a tradition on the menu!), mac ‘n cheese and truffle fries. The boys went for a variety of burgers – can’t go wrong there. All plates were cleaned, so we earned our dessert – crème brulee and chocolate cake.
Our server, Roxanne, was spot on and we appreciated her attention to our quasi-​rowdy group.
Always a fun time and we never miss a chance to enjoy the great food and service!

Another fantastic evening at Chez Mélange! As usual, the food and service was first rate. I’ve been dining here since they opened their doors 30 years ago. It’s still our go to restaurant in the South Bay!

Haven’t been here since they were at their old location, found them by mistake while driving to Redondo beach brew Co. Was exited to find their new location so decided to stop in. Ordered some wine and it was delicious, after reading the menu, (lots of odd dishes) we decided to finish our wine and go to Brew Co to eat, before we finished a server was delivering some food to another table and it looked so good we decided to stay and eat, I have Chicken Parmesan and WOW it was soooo good! And VERRY happy we stayed.
The reason I’m leaving this review is because I can honesty say I’ve never had such great service before. Food came fast, drinks and food were EXCELLENT! And the service was second to non. I’ll be back regularly now as I live down the street.

My husband took me here for my birthday and I loved it! I will definitely be back for more.
What we ate:
— Started with the baguette, which was AMAZING
— Then we had two salads: beet salad and Cesar. Both were very good. There was a bit too much dressing on them, but they were still great
— For our main course, we shared a grilled fish. The fish was cooked to perfection. The skin was crispy and the fish was really juicy and soft
— We ended with two desserts: the butterscotch pudding and the key lime pie. Both were sublime
Overall, in terms of food, I’d give Chez a 4
The service however is definitely 5+ stars. Throughout dinner, our waitress was very attentive, refilling water and checking in on us without being overly burnsome. In addition, when I told her our potatoe (which came as a side to our fish) was burnt, they immediately made us a new one AND gave us dessert on the house. The new potatoe was delicious and the desserts, as stated above, were sublime
I have eaten at restaurants with 3 michelin stars and the service at Chez was just as good (if not better since they were not pretentious at all, which michelin star restaurants sometimes are)

This is our Sunday spot. I found it while looking for a breakfast/​brunch place on Open Table. The fact that their tagline is «A Boozy Gastropub» definitely piqued my interest. They have live music in the front area and nice dining area in the back along with a big room for parties (which there’s usually a party every time we’ve been).
My hubs loves his steak and eggs and I can not tell you how many restaurants he’s veto’d because of bad steak and eggs. Thankfully he loves the steak and eggs here. The Parm Truffle fries are legit. And I have to tell you… even though it might sound weird… a fried egg on top of brussel sprouts is seriously amazeballs. I try to get something different every time and so far, after about 7 meals here, I have yet to find something that isn’t tastylicious. Their Bloody Oink is ridiculously addictive. Prices are reasonable, service always on point, and you can bring your dog if you sit outside on the patio. Absolutely love this place. I doubt we will ever try anywhere else for our Sunday brunch. They usually have a few news things on the menu each week and I always wish my stomach were as big as my eyes cuz I want to try everything!
Go here. You will not be disappointed.

Went here at ten am on Sunday for brunch. The patio is cute but it was too cold to sit outside so we took a seat inside. The decorations are old and a little outdated but if you can get past that the food is great. I got the avocado toast and lentils with egg. The salmon on the toast was fresh and the avocado was creamy. The lentils were good but nothing special. My husband got the French toast with fried chicken. The chicken was great and the ranch dressing was yummy. The coffee was hot and our cup never empty, good service. Will definitely come back to try the dinner menu.

I took a large family gathering here the day before Thanksgiving. We were fortunate to get the back room for groups. This was really important as the front room had a loud band that would have made dining miserable.
The wait staff was responsive and knowledgeable about the rather large menu. Great wines and great food!
Chez Mélange is not inexpensive, but I think their pricing is fair considering the type and quality of fare they are serving.

The food was OK and so was the service. I might go over there one more time to give it a second chance, but not anytime soon.

Came for our anniversary, it was our first time here. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our server was very professional. Then there’s the food… wow…everything was delicious. The corn bread was so good we took an extra piece home. The chili verde was very tender and seasoned perfectly. The Zarzuela seafood stew again couldn’t have been better. This is a gem in the South Bay!

I really enjoyed this spot. I met up with my friend for happy hour, and we both brought our pups. I love nothing more than when friend wants to meet up, and I can bring my dog! Luckily, my friend has the same mentality. It’s heartbreaking to leave your pup at home after they’ve been waiting for you to come home from work all day.
Any who… back to the bidness! Bouzy has a dope outdoor seating area with heat lamps, couches, tables, coffee tables. In short, it’s a comfy place to sit. It’s also in the shade during happy hour, so you don’t have to worry about the sun in your face while you’re dining. My friend and I grabbed a couch in the corner which is perfect for people watching and lounging. The happy hour menu was not huge, but it had plenty of options for food and drinks. We got empanadas, buffalo chicken bits, and fries. Everything was pretty tasty, seasoned well, and the drinks were good too! My friend sipped on wine, but I ended up getting one of their rum cocktails.
Our server was really great too! He was really friendly, and made menu recommendations for us. He told us Bouzy has a really dope burger, which he exclaimed is the best he’s ever had. I will have to test that recommendation on another visit.
My pup and I will totally be back here! We had a great time :)

Service– a+
get the pork belly noodles! u cant go wrong with that its so awesome.
the server (owner’s wife) Lisa is one of the servers and shes super attentive. Today is my 2^nd time in a week
Gary is the bomb!!!

Came here for dinner since someone i know recommended to me .
It was good to try at least once not so sure about what i ordered that night because according to my waitress was amazing and it was just ok .
We started with their corn bread me personally i liked it alot cuz it had walnuts inside i ate it all bymyself :)
I had their Burger i cant remember the name anymore but it supossed to be wow and it was just ok it had ot of buffalo sauce .
He had the pork chile verde and that was very good the sauce the meat was tender the flavor was good.
Service was good, romantic ambience, good for a date night.

We came here for brunch recently and had a nice time.
Pros-​Beautiful area, good food and nice outdoor seating. I loved the chicken and french toast! It was the perfect combo of sweet and savory! I also really enjoyed the beignets as they were lighter than any other ones I had. It also was pretty kid friendly for a nicer place.
Cons– We had called the day before to make reservations and were told they do not take reservations for the outdoor seating. When we arrived, several outdoor tables had «reserved» signs on them. We had shown up before the restaurant had opened so we were able to snag an outdoor table but it just seemed weird that we were told we could not reserve a table. Maybe the table was reserved for regulars? Also, our waiter was a little cold at first and said the kitchen may be too busy to make my family member plain scrambled eggs-​she has severe food allergies and could not have anything on the menu. However, he eventually warmed up and the rest of his service was fine.

Ambiance and service is great (although for the décor I wish they could get rid of that office ceiling in the restaurant).
Food was ok but was seriously lacking in spices. No salt, no pepper. Got the scallops, they were well cooked but felt too simple, nothing special. The broccoli was just steamed. Nothing fancy there.

This is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to, hands down. Their menu is full of fresh, perfectly cooked food, with dishes ranging from homey classics to twists on classic dishes that make you look at them in a whole new light. Their desserts are to DIE for — get their pot au chocolate with their four port flight, it’s a religious experience — and the server is exceptional. My boyfriend and I were treated to complimentary champagne and a cute little «Happy Anniversary» sign when we went earlier this month for our third anniversary.
If I could eat here every night, I would!

My wife and I chose this place for my birthday. Had reservations and was seated immediately. The service was exceptional (Gary). We ordered escargot, had some champagne, she had duck and I had steak.
We really enjoyed the experience and will be back.

The food, the atmosphere, the service is absolutely Bar None!
This was truly a superior dining experience. It is the first time that all of the reviews of 4 and 5 stars were spot on!!! I still can not believe that after living here in the south bay area for most of my life, I had not dined here before last night!
As many of the reviews already stated, this is a delightful gem in the Redondo Beach area. I do not think there are many restaurants in the area that come close to preparing the dishes this Chef (s) turns out nightly.
Sorry, no pics– I was too busy enjoying the dining experience!

Not bad! Tried their brunch with a few friends. If you are doing their bottomless mimosas I did notice that they don’t use pre-​mixed juice and sparking wine, which is a bonus in my book. This way you can go light on the OJ if you want.
We sat inside, although I would recommend sitting outside if there is space available. We tried the beignets to start which came with what looked like a house-​made jam? Plus whipped cream. They were in the shape of sticks which was different. They were pretty dense, but the flavor was great. We tasted the chorizo tostada, migas con huevos, and the chicken and french toast. They were all delicious. The chorizo tostada was the lightest but still filling with the chorizo plus avocado. The shell was stale though, very hard to break. The migas con huevos were great! Probably my favorite. The chicken and french toast was also delicious. The french toast was almost bread pudding like! Went great with the chicken, didn’t even really need syrup.
All in all it was a nice brunch! The staff is very friendly although they are constantly upselling you.

Michael and Robert at Chez Mélange set the standard for South Bay restaurants more than 30 years ago. That’s almost unheard of in the restaurant biz so you know they’re doing something right.
Tonight I had a filet of beef stew over Yorkshire pudding — perhaps you have to be British to appreciate how wonderful this dish is but, really, it’s about to become a classic. Don’t hesitate… try it.

This place was pretty darn good. Definitely a hidden gem in South Redondo, and it’s a Gastropub!
My fiancé and I came here on a Friday evening around 7:30pm, without a reservation. Not smart, since that’s prime dinner time, but we lucked out with a table for 2 on the outside patio. We didn’t mind being outside since there were heaters right next to the tables.
We started off with some appetizers. Fried Jalepenos, with ranch, along with some Parmesan truffle fries. Both jealous and the perfect amount so we didn’t get too full for our entrees. For our entrees, my fiancé got some sort of pastrami sandwich. I don’t remember what was in it exactly because I didn’t try it, but he loved it and finished every bite. As for me, I tried the most popular dish they had. The Pancho Burger. My fiancé was surprised, given I don’t eat burgers often, but I couldn’t resist. It sounded great on the menu and tasted even better in my mouth. So good! Perfect amount of spice, and flavor. Can’t go wrong with bacon, and a stuffed chile relleno. I thought the franks red sauce was going to be questionable but it was so good! I want to go back just so I can eat that burger again.
5 star restaurant for sure. Great ambience, good service, amazing food.

Chez Mélange was really good, but somehow we manged to make it a really expensive meal (close to $ 200 for two). Must have been that bottle of wine (gets us every time) since I don’t think that it’s a really expensive restaurant.
This is part of the 3 restaurants-​in-​one-​location concept they have going — Bouzy Gastropub, Bar Comida, and Chez Mélange (the most formal of the 3). It is a bit weird that people walk in periodically and look around as they choose which of the 3 establishments they want to dine out and the concept is definitely a bit confusing, but once we had it all figured out we were good to go.
Escargots (Sauteed, Garlic, Butter, Spinach, Fregola, Stilton Cheese) — delicious. I’d never had escargots before but I’m definitely a fan. There’s a lot of garlic, butter, and cheese so it’s hard to tell if I actually like escargots or if I like garlic, butter, and cheese, but either way it was very good.
I had the Black Cod in Curry Sauce which was very good, but I had a bit of food envy for my bf’s Seafood Pasta that was just amazing. the pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce was to die for. I only had a few bites but would have loved to have that as my main.
A solid spot for dinner (and it seems brunch as well, from other reviews), but be careful not to let it get too expensive like we did.

Oooooopsie poopsie. I was informed that the place I reviewed below is actually one part of their three-​parter restaurant (bouzys and bar comida, too). Below is actually for Bouzys, not chez. each has their own menu. Guess I’ll have to come back n check out the others some time :)
Sashimi, ok. Oysters, ok. Wine selection was ok but I def chose a glass, actually two lol, that was on the mehh side of the spectrum.
Oddly, the service isn’t what I would describe as slow but just plain confusing. Our waiter would come by, look at an empty bottle of beer– ensure it’s empty by holding it up to the light– and walk away without giving us a chance to order another :|
They’ve created a very sports bar type a feel so their fancy pants name seems a lil deceiving. When I hear a name there are, right or wrong, presumptions that come along w it. When I hear anything remotely french-​y, I immediately
Location is nice since it’s located near the water and in walking distance of many small lil shops and restaurants– the downside for them is that it gives ya plenty of other options to choose from when you’re in the area.
Chez m is a solid three but most days I’m lookin for a legit 4+, we’re in SoCal after all w options abound… Although perhaps fewer in redondo :/

The four of us decided to come here last minute because Redondo Bistro was closed and the 4 Star Unilocal Rating.
To our dismay, we left the place in disappointed. The service was great our French server was friendly and funny. The food was not good and definitely does not live up to the reviews and the cost.
Menu changes everyday so that night we had:
1) Roast brussel sprouts in a beet sauce. It was palatable. It wasn’t bad but nothing stood out.
2) Winter Salad with pumpkin seed, squash, and arugula. The dressing was light. Nothing was phenomenal. It also looked boring.
3) Escargot with Pasta — wow soo bland. We didn’t want to but we had to sprinkled salt onto each one to make it taste better.
4) Sicilian Spaghetti — Spaghetti tossed in truffle oil, parmesan, sausage and then topped with a fried egg. It sounded fancy but whoa it sure tasted boring. The only flavor was coming from the sausage. It also had way too much oil!!!
5) Roasted Duck Breast — Probably the best thing we had here. We had pretty good slices of the duck breast. Tender and and flavorful. I am glad this was our last savory dish.
6) Chocolate Soufflé with a scoop of raspberry ice cream — Not a huge fan of desserts. The soufflé was good but I am more of fan of souffles with the chocolate syrup. It helps make it rich and gives it a fugdy texture. Still with the ice cream, I found the dessert to be too dry.
Definitely not worth my time and money.
