We came here on the Sunday night before St. Patrick's Day, after a hellish drive from Las Vegas…read more We were staying at the Courtyard Marriott for a family funeral, so we weren't in the mood to explore. We wandered into the restaurant less than a half hour before closing and we were greeted warmly and treated like VIPs. Pacifico on tap, surprisingly delicious burgers, and what's this, tostones (crispy fried plantains) on the menu! Tostones were quite tasty topped with shredded meat. We had such a pleasant time that we returned Tuesday evening for beer and cocktails with my brother-in-law. Thank you for turning a sad occasion into a pleasant family reunion!

But anyways our server was very kind and friendly making the dining experience even better. I ordered the gourmet skillet which has eggs, spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes. It's topped with cheddar cheese, and has guacamole. This has all my favorite veggies so I was very attracted to tis dish and it did not disappoint. I really liked the guacamole as well! I added the hashbrown for only $1.99 and the portion is HUGE! It's so worth it and I'm glad I ordered it because it was cooked perfectly, nice and crispy! They had options for the bread and I got sourdough, there was jam on the table so it was a very filling meal. I paid around $20 for this food and to be honest, I could've shared this with someone and it would have been more than enough already so they do not skimp on portions which I appreciate. They also have a couple outdoor seatings facing the park, a lot of indoor seating as well as a bar section, they have desserts (the cakes looked really good) too which I would've got it but I was very full but for sure next time. Anyways I really enjoyed the food and service, will be back again.

This diner is located right by Bixby Park. There is no parking lot, but if you come early on a…read moreweekday then you won't have trouble finding parking. It has a calm atmosphere and friendly staff. Our waiter spoke both Spanish and English. He checked up on us the whole time and made sure we were comfortable. The prices were a tad high but when the food came it became clear why as the portion sizes are large. The pancakes and French toast were huge and fluffy to perfection! The eggs were good and the bacon was as well. The coffee wasn't good (I'm a coffee lover always on the hunt for great coffee) but I never expect decent coffee in these places so it is forgivable. There is a display case with cakes by the entrance. For one pancake breakfast, a French toast breakfast and a coffee it was 42 dollars.

Easy to utilize when staying at Hyatt Centric The Pike, since it's in the lobby. We've eaten here…read moreon past stays and it was good. Today, I would say it's ok. The night before we popped in to see what they offer, and were alerted that the waffle iron was broken, but the batter was the same as the pancake. I also asked if they made ham/cheese sandwiches on croissant and was told no, they use to, but not anymore. That's what we remembered being good, that and the chai. I asked if the chai was still from a local, Long Beach, vendor and he got the bag out to show me. It was not the same brand I remembered, but it was labeled as a chai masala, so it sounded as good, and having had it this morning, I can confirm it is delicious, with a little kick. Sadly, the cup was not full. Stopping about an inch from the top. At $6.95, I would think it was full. Hubs had his coffee with "room for cream", so I went back up and asked if it could be topped off. 'Yes, help yourself, it's at the end over there', directing me to the coffee bar at the end of the counter. Ok, I guess the chai was made with half/half, since that was the jug I noticed sitting on the back bar and again at the coffee bar. Meh, It worked. Since the croissant sandwiches were out, I asked about the granola parfait and fruit cups in the display. I didn't see any prices listed, but Patricia thought 'they might be around $10.' Seems that should be an easy question, but it was a pass anyway since the fruit expiration I picked up was today's date. Hmmm.... I asked what flavor the muffins were and was told Cranberry Orange and they're delicious. Ok, Hubs went with a cinnamon roll, and I chose the muffin. Got my chai and he his coffee and sat down. Took a rather unladylike large bite of my muffin and discovered 2 things right away. First, my heated muffin was cold inside. Second, it was blueberry! Since I was looking forward to the seasonal cranberry orange flavor with my chai, I returned it to the counter. 'Oops, sorry, they all seem to be blueberry. Can I get you something else?' asked Patricia. I chose a heated, plain croissant. Good. Light and airy and worked in a pinch. Hub's cinnamon roll, with cream cheese frosting was good. Not heated all the way through, but he found it satisfying. The cream cheese was light and not super sweet, which was good. His coffee was .... coffee. lol It was obvious the tables hadn't been wiped down. A table of tourists finished their meals and wondered where to bus the dishes. A Hyatt employee, passing through, told them it was fine to leave them. Those dishes stayed there until after the 11am shift change. Seems the employee plan was to "let the next guy deal with it". It wasn't so busy that a multitasking, efficient worker could handle the barista and clearing/wipe down duties. This was first morning of our stay, but I think we'll look elsewhere tomorrow for breakfast. Cheers! "CC"

In the early afternoon this was a very casual, laid back bar with one bartender holding it down. It wasn't crowded or loud, just a peaceful break in between the day to sip on a refreshing cocktail.

Well... sometimes it's unavoidable and I can happily say that the Enclave at the Long Beach Hilton is a solid and consistent pick. I ordered the enclave burger which was listed as being a 50/50 mix of beef short rib and brisket - which sounded amazing. Overall, a solid (and very filling) burger that was also impressive to look at. IMHO, this would have been better if the meat had been seasoned and the "Killer Sauce" had been more killer. Overall, these issues made the burger somewhat bland and in need of a little ketchup to make the flavors pop. It was good, though - just not realizing its full burger potential. The fries were great. Crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside with a perfect amount of sea salt. No ketchup required for those. We ate at the lobby bar and service was initially fast and responsive but shortly after we arrived, the only server working became very overwhelmed by a flood of hungry people. Definitely not her fault. If I have to eat at my hotel, the Enclave is at least a solid pick that I know I will not regret.

What we didn't expect, but absolutely loved, was their R&B brunch experience. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was lively, fun, and full of energy. The music completely elevated the atmosphere. The DJ not only had an incredible voice but truly knew how to engage and hype up the crowd, making the whole experience feel like more than just a meal. The location itself is beautiful with trendy and upscale decor. Very picturesque. As for the food, I ordered the Maui French toast, and it was phenomenal. It is not your typical French toast--it had a crispy churro crust and this unique whipped cream, the flavor and presentation really stood out. Sweet, rich, and perfectly prepared, it's something I've never had before and would absolutely order again. Overall, this was such a pleasant surprise. Great food, great music, great service, and a good vibey brunch experience. I have another trip to Long Beach in June and will be back to enjoy it again. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area!

Very disappointing experience. We ordered the steak, and it was incredibly dry, while the mashed…read morepotatoes tasted like frozen mashed potatoes you would buy from Walmart. The food was so bad that we barely ate any of it. When we brought this to the manager's attention, instead of addressing the poor quality of the food, she immediately told us we still had to pay for it. At first, she only offered 10% off and a slice of birthday cake, which was honestly insulting considering we couldn't even eat the meal. What made the experience even worse was that she tried to justify the poor quality by saying we came in late and that the food isn't the same at that time. That's simply not an acceptable excuse. If a restaurant is open and serving customers, the quality of the food should be consistent no matter what time you walk in. After going back and forth, she eventually increased the discount to 50%, but still refused to remove the meal from the bill, even though we barely touched it because it was inedible. We weren't looking for a free meal--we just expected food that matched the quality a restaurant should serve and customer service that takes legitimate concerns seriously. Unfortunately, this experience fell far below those expectations, and I won't be returning.

It was pretty much empty in the main bar area and not really full in the patio area. We didn't know what to expect on the weekend as to how busy it might be. We lucked out. Our server was great. She was very helpful when we asked about the beers on tap and offered us samplers to help make up our minds. We ended up getting the Moose Drool dark beer and just gloved it. We ordered an unusual appetizer called an Irish egg-roll. Corned beef and Swiss rolled in an egg-roll batter. These were fantastic. Really good. For our main coarse I ordered the special of swordfish wrap with steak fries. Absolutely great. My wife had the fire burger with a side of fruit. She loved it. I've seen a few negative reviews of the place but our experience was truly 5 star. Great service, great food and great atmosphere. We will absolutely be back. Well done everybody.

Extremely Dangerous My son ordered plain rice and was…read morepromised there was no dairy. He is extremely allergic. He double checked a 2nd time letting them know it was important and they again confirmed no dairy. When he got the rice he took one bite and he thought it tasted like it may have butter he asked again saying "this tastes like it has butter." The employee assured him saying there was no butter. My son was very hungry and so he decided to trust them and ate most of the rice cup. He started feeling sick within minutes and went up a fourth time to ask them. At that point, the employee asked the cook who informed them that butter was used. My son had been dealing with health issues the last two days due to his severe allergy. He is having difficulty breathing, in addition to all the other symptoms that come from dairy allergy. It's very sad to see him in pain knowing the restaurant did not take his allergy seriously and misinformed him. To the owners and staff members please take food allergies seriously. I inner stand people make mistakes. I hope that my son's pain will cause the restaurant to change its policy to take food allergies seriously and that the next person won't suffer. Thank you for your consideration in the request to change your business practices.

The staff is friendly if a little slow on the service side. Our server was doing multiple jobs on a busy evening , serving and bar tending so each suffered a bit. There were 4 of us. We shared the guac and chips (the chips were the colors of the Irish flag), really good and recommend. I had the corned beef sliders, and one family member had the full corned beef and cabbage plate. We both agree the corned beef was exceptional, but the horseradish sauce was so mild you couldn't taste the horseradish at all (and with the slow service we had no opportunity to ask for straight horseradish to enhance it) Two went with fish, one the fish and chips, one the grilled Mahi with mango salsa. Both throughly enjoyed their meals. The biggest disappointment of the evening was the bread pudding. My brother LOVES bread pudding, if it's on the menu, he is ordering it. This one was terrible. Very dry, and if there was the whiskey glaze on it, he couldn't find it. It was so bad he didn't eat it, and the server didn't offer to take it off the bill either. If you are driving, the parking is paid, but most restaurants will validate so your fee is lowered.
