Montauk: A New Benchmark in Coastal Dining
Redondo Beach’s vibrant Riviera Village is preparing to welcome Montauk, an East Hamptons-inspired culinary haven. This latest venture by Peninsula Hospitality Concepts, led by owner Lavae McClinnahan, aims to offer a distinctive dining experience blending refined coastal cuisine with a sophisticated aesthetic.
Slated to open this spring, Montauk seeks to redefine the South Bay’s culinary landscape. The restaurant’s concept centers on upscale yet approachable dining, featuring expertly prepared seafood and locally sourced produce curated by Executive Chef Rob White. The venue will also feature The Den at Montauk, an intimate after-hours experience, set to elevate nightlife options in the area.
Inclusivity, Representation, and Community at Montauk
Montauk stands out as a Black-owned business, embodying diversity and inclusivity in the Redondo Beach community. Lavae McClinnahan brings a rich background in music and luxury experiences, offering a fresh perspective to the region’s culinary scene. His leadership not only elevates the dining standard but also provides a cultural anchor for the community.
“Montauk is more than a restaurant; it’s a place where food, culture, and hospitality meet,” McClinnahan explains. “We want to create a space that feels like home while offering a world-class experience.”
Through initiatives like educational wine tastings and collaborations with local artisans, Montauk fosters a connection between guests and the community.
Elevated Design: Coastal Charm Meets Hamptons Sophistication
The atmosphere at Montauk reflects the tranquility of the South Bay with an infusion of East Coast elegance. Designed by Letisha Moody of the London-based Moody Factory, the interior boasts luxury finishes such as Phillip Jeffries Corduroy wallpaper and Ralph Lauren sconces. Every detail underscores Montauk’s commitment to crafting a space where guests can unwind in style.
A Menu That Marries Tradition and Innovation
Montauk’s seasonal menu focuses on sustainability and local sourcing. Signature dishes inspired by Montauk, New York’s seafood traditions are complemented by creative interpretations of classic favorites. The restaurant also offers a robust beverage program featuring sommelier-curated wines, inventive cocktails, and locally crafted beers.
