Casual, Comforting Eats At New Eatery In Seal Beach

SEAL BEACH, CA — A new restaurant is opening its doors in the heart of Seal Beach, and residents can join in on the grand opening celebration this Wednesday as The Backyard gears up for business.

Barbecue-forward eatery The Backyard will offer Seal Beach residents regional American cuisine and comforting, casual environment.

The Backyard comes from Anthony Ko, Owner; Charbel Adaimy, Executive Chef; and Amanda Arebalo, Bar Director, the team behind Messhall Kitchen, the well-loved Los Feliz concept known for regional American cuisine.

On Wednesday's opening day, The Backyard will offer residents $3 smashburgers until supplies last, owner Anthony Ko said in a statement.

“The Backyard is intended to be exactly that — a backyard. We want guests to feel as if they are stepping into a loved one’s home, and enjoy that comfortable, casual feeling," Ko said in a statement. "Seal Beach’s Main Street is the perfect backdrop for the concept because it is so community oriented here. We look forward to serving the Seal Beach community and earning our place as a Main Street neighborhood staple.”

The menu features classic American dishes that both comfort and satisfy, such as lobster rolls and "Buffalo’ed Eggs," as well as complementary beer and wine curated by the restaurant's Bar Director Amanda Arebalo.

The Backyard in Seal Beach is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and is located on 136 Main St.
