21 Square Bar Kitchen

Place was quite and very cute to say the least. staff didn’t seem like they wanted to be there. Overall decent experience but wouldn’t recommend unless your actually staying at the hotel.

Nice and quiet is your thing? This would do you fine. Not a fancy dinining place but reasonable food and bar selection. Lots of seats both in and out door situated in the modern themed lobby area and outdoor patio. I was bit disappointed with their coffee service.... Most restaurants I've ate in offers free refill of coffee if you finish your Americano or even a latte. Nope, not here. Hotel = first and last customer mentality? I hope not... Should seek to draw local crowd that will help sustain your business when hotel guests become thin.

First a bit of context, I would not seek out this restaurant if I was not staying in the hotel. That said, it is a good option for those who are staying and it is better than wandering around looking for something else in this part of Torrance. The food and service are fairly good for a hotel based establishment. The food has its ups and downs, for example, I did not care for the bbq sandwich, but the seared tuna is solid. The apps also seem solid. Staff is great and service reflects the price they have in their jobs. Ambiance is very good for a hotel and dining outside at a table or by the fire pit is really nice.

21 Square, the restaurant bar in the Torrance Marriott, has terrific seating indoor and out. The bartenders are mixed: they all pour a generous drink, and some are spot-on friendly and quick. A few, not so much. Those can be snippy and quite slow at providing service, unless you're at a bar seat. A few trips ago, one disappeared on us and the others, including the manager, couldn't figure out what he'd done with our tab. That took way too long to sort out. Takeaway: if you get the right server, you'll have a great time (the food is also good--first rate French fries, salads and ahi tuna sandwiches).

Came to the hotel in a pool pass (no outside food allowed). In other places we've found the hotel food to be edible, but not great. We were pleasantly surprised...the sandwiches were better than we expected. Got the Madrona Burger and the BLAT - both reportedly very nice (with a side comment on the bacon - thicker and crispy edges). I opted for the portobello-poblano sandwich and liked it very much. Sandwiches of a reasonable size and all came with fries. The order took a bit longer than we expected, but wasn't bad. In the to-go-back-to-the-pool bag was utensils and ket/must/mayo.
