The house for the restaurant made for a unique, warm, and inviting experience! The tasting menu they offer is pescatarian only and we loved every dish!! The dishes were elevated but still hearty and left me stuffed. We didn't try the wine pairing but they have a small collection of well curated wine list that fit their farm to table food menu. My favorite was the 3 amuse bouche at the start: the uni, the tart, and squash blossom salad in a bite (actually have no idea what that was but it was AMAZING and would petition for a bouquet of those). Also the dessert: a balance of sweet, salty, umami, and freshness melted together with that sesame toast on top of the chocolatey goodness with a hint a citrus. Yum!!! The service was just as warm and matched the ambiance of being welcomed in a familiar, reminiscent summer beach home.
I first came here when I was in Long Beach for work a few years ago and I loved the entire experience. Fast forward to a conference I was attending in Anaheim with my family. When I heard Heritage had received a Michelin star, I jumped at the chance to take my family. They all loved it and it was a hit from start to finish. It is definitely won't it to hear reservation. The best part, everyone on staff is truly friendly, helpful and attentive. The dining room is a little bit dark. It's a small price to pay for the amazing food from tonight's dinner. The flavors continue to be creative, inventive, and unforgettable. I never thought I'd ever enjoy passion fruit and crudo together, but I'm a fan! The sea urchin toast intimidated me but was actually a perfect little bite. And dessert was a work of art.
Celebrated my daughter's birthday dinner and the whole staff was lovely. The restaurant is on the smaller side but cute. The food was solid, some bites were full of flavor and tastier than others like the first bites and scallop and some were just ok like the beef. Dessert was also just ok. Definitely worth a try at least once.
Came in to celebrate a birthday. Parking is not easy to find, so show up at least a few minutes early. We were let in to our kitchen counter seats at the reserved time. And the tasting experience began. First up was a trio of "first bites"--the Sea Urchin Crostata was an explosion of flavor, one of my favorite bites of the night. Also up were a chunk of pickled pineapple and a lobster gougere. This was followed by some seafood courses: Wild Kampachi with passion fruit, jicama, and house yogurt--very much like you would get at a good sushi restaurant. Then, Abalone Rice... I'm not a fan of abalone usually, but the wild rice by itself made this dish great and "Live Scallop in Shell", with a smoked trout roe that took this to the next level. Finally, Line-Caught Black Cod. The lobster bisque that served as a sauce could have been its own dish, and would have been one of the best of the night. Finally, the "main" of the night, Aged Duck & Smoked Leg: a perfectly cooked duck breast, accompanied by duck leg confit. The persimmon was a genius accompaniment and made this dish the overall star. They finished the meal with a trio of deserts: a sunchoke ice cream with honeycomb, carrot cake with candied walnuts, and a final two bites of pate de fruit and a chocolate bonbon. We left not overstuffed but still satisfied.
The food was very good! Each dish felt light yet complex, which I really enjoyed. The vibe is intimate, and from the outside the restaurant almost looks like someone's home, which adds to the charm. That said, for a $175 meal, I did leave feeling a bit hungry, and I'm not someone who usually eats a lot. The portions are on the smaller side, which I didn't mind, but I think one additional dish, or a more carb-forward course (we didn't have one), would have made the meal feel more satisfying overall. Service-wise, the pacing felt uneven. There were noticeable pauses between dishes. Given the Michelin star, I was expecting better timing. Note: Definitely plan to arrive early for parking. There's no valet, and street parking in this part of Long Beach is very difficult to find.
After long await, we finally decided to splurge on Heritage. Heritage is a no doubt a highly talented kitchen, but for a Michelin starred restaurant, the experience did not justify the price. The food was generally well executed, though several dishes were overly salty. Portions were extremely small throughout the meal. Many plates were literally the size of a quarter. The main course was especially disappointing, consisting of a single slice of duck breast. Yes, a single slice. Dessert followed the same pattern with a very small chocolate bite and another tiny fruit bite. It did not feel like a proper finale. The lighting was dark and intimate, which I appreciated, but the dining room itself was cramped and loud. Instead of feeling private, it felt like sitting closely packed with other diners. There was no live music, though the playlist was good. Presentation was inconsistent, particularly early in the meal. With portions this small, stronger presentation would have helped elevate the experience. Pacing also declined toward the end of the dinner, with noticeable delays, which disrupted the flow. Overall, while there were aspects to enjoy, the combination of tiny portions, uneven pacing, and crowded atmosphere made the experience not worth the cost.
Came here for my birthday and had a really great time! We opted to sit at the bar and were able to watch the open kitchen work. We even got to speak to some of the chefs working, which added to the experience. Now the food: the menu looked promising but the first few courses were not exciting. Flavors were confusing, some weren't punchy enough, others over seasoned, and yet some just didn't go together. We were getting a bit worried until we arrived at the middle of the menu and the dishes were homeruns! My favorites were the proteins: scallops and duck. Both were expertly cooked to perfection and seasoned well. The desserts weren't mind blowing but tasty and ended the dinner on a good bite. I would definitely return at a different season to try a different menu and see what they have to offer.
July 5, 2025 was our second time at Heritage. We decided to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary. Since our first dinner here a year ago was so lovely, we were eager to return! Marissa and the rest of the staff were attentive and friendly throughout the night. We were impressed with each course and kept talking about our favorites long after dinner was over. I really enjoyed the wine pairing in our first dining. They have many NA options too for those avoiding alcohol. Heritage has a cozy, intimate vibe overall and it's no surprise many others were celebrating there too. If you haven't experienced Long Beach's 1st Michelin Starred restaurant, don't wait!
Updating review since my last visit was when Heritage first opened and prior to earning their Michelin star. They have truly elevated and refined their service and execution of dishes. With just four seats at the counter and six tables in the dining room, guests still get the warm home hospitality feel in an intimate setting. Their tastings are now set at $160 per person, which comes with 12 thoughtfully curated bites of umami, textures and variety. The majority of their produce and herbs are grown in the Heritage Farm, just a mile away from the restaurant. Staying true to their zero-waste philosophy, they repurpose any excess ingredients into compost cycling back to the gardens. Sustainable dining at its finest! They respectfully do not allow substitutions, but it is understandable with their mission in mind. Summer 2025 tasting menu: Palo Santo Mint- an herbal shot to open the senses Steamed Baby Corn- loved the shaved truffle on top Box Crab- lovely pastry bite Pickled Plum- palate cleanser Slow-Cooked Farm Beets Celtuce, fennel, house yogurt Live Scallop in Shell Dashi, smoked trout roe Braised Sweetbreads- not really bread but yummy chunks of bacon with spring onion, fava bean and greens Mt. Lassen Trout Beluga lentil, herb pistou- Loved! 32-Day Dry Aged Rib Chop Delta asparagus, spring onion Crème Caviar: Heritage caviar, manzanilla oil - soooo good! Mille-feuille: Strawberry, rhubarb, pistachio Pâte de Fruit Boysenberry- like gummies :) Wine pairing is an additional $95. We opted to bring a bottle of wine for a $40 cork fee. Valet is $25, but you might be able to find street parking on 7th Street. Incredible experience and so happy to have this gem in Long Beach!
RSVP for 8pm.. we didn't leave till about 11:18pm.. Personally, I felt like service was wayyyyyy tooo slow.. chairs are super uncomfortable to be left sitting for so long... Food was great but definitely were left with an appetite after which was kinda upsetting since it was almost $200 a head without wine.. plus tip This was a one time experience for us.
Loved the entire meal and experience! Our server was very knowledgeable about both the menu and the wine pairings. A very comfortable environment with zero pretense. I wasn't sure what to expect since this was my first Michelin Star restaurant visit but it was great! The open kitchen made the bar and front room seating a little warm, kind of like eating in your kitchen with the yummy smells as well. I am a big Food HD watcher and I enjoyed watching the preparation. The menu was superb and the wine pairing was outstanding! Cost was $650 for two of us, one with wine pairing and one without. Honestly, it was well worth it!
Summary: has potential but not quite Michelin 1-star. I'm rating this restaurant based on food, service, and ambiance. Food overall didn't impress me. There were a few times where the right utensils weren't provided. For example, the pineapple pickle was considered a finger food. The first few courses were extremely disappointing. They were either too strong in a specific flavor (sour, saltiness) or too bland. I only started enjoying the food starting from the kingfish, which is technically the 8th course. Service was a mixed bag. A waitress provided a bag hook and they gave complimentary champagne for our anniversary. However, we didn't have a dedicated server. Depending on who served the dish, we either received a thoughtful explanation of the dish or a plain statement of what's presented. Ambiance was probably the lowest of the 3 pillars. I understand that the restaurant used to be a house so things might look funky and the noise may be amplified. The place was crammed with so many tables and it was a full house. With all the talking that echoes, I couldn't talk and listen without leaning in. There was very little room between each table so i felt like a sardine in a tight can. 5/10 for the experience. Definitely not worth the price tag or the Michelin compared to Melisse and Providenxe when they were 1 star.
Cozy spot, great staff and friendly service. The spot has a warm home feeling. The food was amazing, the deserts are unforgettable! I couldn't do the win pairing but my party did and it was some of the best California wine they've had. Will bring my parent's next team to enjoy this mouthful of flavors. Got lost in the flavors that I kept eating before remembering to take pictures. Don't worry, I'll go back again to take them.

I am perfectly impressed. My husband picked this Michelin star restaurant for our anniversary dinner, and I had some doubts. Did we need to go that fancy? Did we need to drive to Long Beach? Yes, yes we did. Wednesday at 5pm, that's where it's at. Wine bottles were 50% off, what a deal! Since my husband doesn't drink, I just had a glass of the orange wine, which was perfect. I wish my second (half) glass was comped since I turned down (what I assume was) complimentary champagne for our anniversary, but oh well. I just feel like places that are generous make the experience feel so much better. But I'm being greedy. The ambiance was great. A few reviews complained about the decor/bathroom/noise, but it was pretty empty when we were there so I found no issues with that! Service was perfect. Everyone was so so friendly and helpful!! Timing of the dishes was perfect. Silverware replaced every time, and they accommodated my half glass of wine request when a second glass felt like too much. And the food. Of course, 5 stars. I'd give 6 if I could! I've never had such flavorful, thoughtful dishes. Like the apple on the crudo, perfection. The romesco was out of this world! I was nervous about duck but it was so tender and sweet and savory! The desserts were amazing. The cabbage was yummy! Everything was so so delectable. We will come back for sure! read more

We came in for our first visit tonight for date night. Everyone on the staff was so great and the food was amazing! For dinner they do a four course pre fixe menu for $75. - oyster in dashi broth - hamachi crudo - pork belly - dry aged duck (my favorite) - rack of lamb - marshmallow ice cream with honeycomb crumble (this stuff is heaven) - passion fruit pavlova Everything was prepared perfectly and not only were the proteins cooked to perfection, the sauces and veggies in the dishes paired perfectly together. I cannot wait to come back here again! read more

From the outside the restaurant looks like a house (maybe it was initially?). There is Valet parking for $25, but we opted to look for street parking and found one a street over. It was pretty packed, and parallel parking skills are super helpful. It was very casual but the service was amazing and the servers were very knowledgeable. The music they played were very nostalgic for me; lots of 90s hip hop. 1st course: Dungeness Crab Tart - started of strong. Very good, the crunch of the tart helped with the smooth texture of the crab. There was also avocado on the bottom! 2nd: Beets with peaches, cucamelon - I'm not a fan of betts but this was actually a very good way to present beets in. Not too much, but still is the showcase ingredient. The peaches added an extra flavor to the dish. 3rd: Brown Butter Endive - This was unexpectedly delicious. It had so many layers to its flavor and so many different textures. This is probably my favorite dish; I wanted to lick the plate! 4th: Black Cod with 1500 year old beans - This was disappointing. The fish was cooked well and the skin was crisp, which added a good texture. However the whole dish fell flat to me. The chard were large and hard to cut and the bitterness lingered, and didn't have enough acid to cut it. There wasn't much flavor as well. 5th: Country Loaf with cultured butter & salt - Good bread and butter, but nothing super special. 6th: Iberico Pork with truffle jus - This made up for the 4th dish. The pork was super tender, and the truffle just added that special touch. The morel was also a pleasant surprise. 7th: Pineapple Froyo - I'm not a fan of tangy/sour desserts, but if you are you would love this. It was very tangy with lots of different textures. 8th: Caramel Corn Pavlova - This was an explosion of confusion. I personally was not a fan. The corn cream I wish was a little sweeter. The addition of the pavlova added a random sweetness that didn't match the corn flavor. 9th: Watermelon Pate de Fruit - Think expensive Sour Patch. I wish they gave more of these to take home! haha Overall, my experience was great with awesome service. I just wish the desserts were a little better. Regarding desserts, I think it's good to explore flavor combinations, but sometimes it just doesn't work. read more

I really wanted to like this place - I'd seen good things online and booked it a month in advance for my dad's birthday. Service - Things started off quite rocky, we arrive on time for our reservation and were told to wait. Several couples were able to get seated ahead of us, and we ended up getting to our table 20min after our reservation time. We waited another 20min before receiving our first dish, and then things dragged along even further. We were at the restaurant for 2.5 hours for just the dining component. Food - The flavors were generally good, food was well-executed, but the dishes can be quite misleading, ie the Black Cod and Abalone contained a 0.25in cube piece of abalone. I don't mind paying for good food (and I'm quite used to NYC prices actually), but I don't think it's right to have a long menu where a slice of bread or a gummy deserves a whole line item. TLDR; not great value, especially if you consider there are far better options if you just drive up a little to Venice or Culver. read more

If you're looking to impress, make a reservation at the new Michelin-star recipient, Heritage, nestled in Long Beach's historic neighborhood Rose Park. This venue not only holds a Michelin star but also proudly displays a green Michelin star for its commitment to sustainable dining. A quick tip: Heritage has two addresses in Long Beach, so confirm you have the right one; one location is a delightful restaurant and the other, a picturesque venue ideal for small weddings and events. Inside a Craftsman-style building, Heritage offers a fresh and relaxed ambiance, somewhat like visiting a friend's Nordic home. Seating is limited, creating an intimate and sophisticated dining experience. highlighted by a ballroom adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows and hanging green plants, offering an intimate setting for about a dozen guests. The restaurant showcases a detailed approach to gastronomy, emphasizing local and seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby farms and markets, including bread from a local bakery. The six-course menu, priced at a reasonable $110, offers an elegant and delightful dining journey with the option of a perfectly paired $60 wine accompaniment. The wine list might not feature widely recognized labels, but it promises refreshing choices that harmonize wonderfully with the dishes, many sourced from small vineyards in Sonoma. Highlights of our meal included a beet starter that managed to avoid any earthy aftertaste and a cabbage dish that echoed the expertise seen in creations by chef Josiah Citrin. The standout was undoubtedly the scallop course, paired with a delightful fish roe sauce that everyone raved about. The ribeye entrée was skillfully cooked to perfection, leading to a refreshing mango sorbet and ending with a Pavlova that pleasantly lingered on the palate. In summary, Heritage is a space where fine dining meets sustainability, offering a memorable Michelin experience without a hefty price tag. It stands as an excellent choice for a romantic and immersive culinary outing. read more

Everything you've heard is true: the food is sublime. The wine pairings inspired. The vibe relaxed. The service outstanding. I couldn't wait to try it and our dinner at Heritage did not disappoint. The menu included fresh ingredients that burst with flavor and our server, a level 1 sommelier was knowledgeable and friendly which only added to our conversation and enjoyment of the evening. Yes, it's pricey, but it's an experience, not just a dinner. read more
I wanted to try this place after they got a WELL DESERVED star. It was totally worth driving all the way from LA for this feast. The food made me so happy :') They accommodate vegetarians and pescatarians. I chose the pescatarian menu and my boyfriend had a regular menu which had a ribeye dish instead of bass. It's a really cozy place. You can tell that the building used to be someone's residence. The only thing I noticed is that it is very loud in there. You barely hear the music because people talking are super loud like it's a bar. It probably didn't help that we were seated right against the wall. Anyways let's talk about the food which is most important (duh). Fermented pineapple soda - they saw me scooping and eating those pineapple cubes from the glass and gave me a small cup of tasty pineapple cube gems!! I wish I asked for a straw tho, since all the sweet syrup stayed at the bottom of the glass and I kept stirring with my fork lol Beets - love the flavor profile. The yogurt brings everything together nicely. Pickled persimmon added such gentle tartness. Tasted like one of those dishes that you think could make at home but it's actually pretty impossible. Cabbage - I'm still daydreaming about this cabbage dish. The char gave such nice depth to the flavor. Such badass of them to put sauerkraut soubise under the charred cabbage. Cabbage on cabbage never tasted this good. My boyfriend said it reminded him of elote. It's the char and the creaminess. Yum. Scallop - it's the thickest creamiest scallop that melts in your mouth. I feel like the scallop flavor was very subtle. I still enjoyed it a lot. My boyfriend got a $15 caviar bomb right before this dish which was fun! (I'm not a caviar person because it always tastes too fishy pungent for me, but i kinda regret not trying it.) Bass - who knew striped bass and lentil could taste so juicy and flavorful. Bomb. Sunchoke ice cream - ok. People at heritage are savage. In the best way possible! Who says "what should my next ice cream flavor be? Sunchoke". I like sunchokes, I like their toasty nutty dirt flavor but to experience it in an ice cream form was on another level. The crunch of praline was perfect. It kept every bite unique and fun. Chocolate cake - I was kind of surprised to see chocolate cake on the menu because tbh it sounded too basic lol but then it was almost like a deconstructed cake, not a slice, and was drizzled with passion fruit seeds which gave nice fresh tartness. chocolate cream was nice and fluffy, it didn't feel heavy or too sweet. It was a perfect way to end the meal. My boyfriend enjoyed wine paring for $60 which is a steal!! This place made me so so so happy. I can't wait to come back in a different season for a different menu! read more

I went recently and given the considerations of the Michelin Star, and price point, I was underwhelmed. The food was definitely good, but out of the six courses the only one that impressed me (and seemed worthy of a Michelin star) was the cannon ball cabbage dish. The scallop dish was good but didn't wow me, ribeye was standard for any decent restaurant, and the dessert courses seemed a bit flat to me, especially the sun choke ice cream which had a particularly heavy / chalky mouth coat similar to days old home made whipped cream. Service was above average and ambience was great, albeit very loud. If there wasn't so much hype around this restaurant, or the price point was lower, I may have given 4 stars. I'll revisit upon a menu refresh. read more

We were excited to try this spot after we read that it just received it's first Michelin star, and also being that it was the first restaurant in Long Beach to have one! The restaurant is located in a neighborhood street, in what looks to be a house, (so Long Beach), which added to the experience. So cool having a gourmet meal in what looks like just a random neighborhood street. The food of course was all so unique and amazing. We loved everything we had, and the service was great. It definitely felt it gave the Michelin star experience. We will be back again for another special occasion soon. read more
Heritage is the best of both worlds. Fine dining food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. They are serving up some seriously good food in an unassuming space which doubles as a sandwich shop by day. The four course prix fixe menu changes with what's in season. Kudos to the chef who clearly brings a deep love of food and an adventurous spirit to their work. An added wine pairing is available for a pretty reasonable price or order your drinks a la carte. If you want to try something in addition to your chosen four courses, you have the option to add on to your meal. I recommend dining with friends so you can order the whole menu and share. You're going to want to try everything. The current menu boasts a beet starter unlike anything I've ever seen. Yes, there's the traditional roasted beets and yogurt, but then add basil oil, strawberries, and a cucumber granita (!). I didn't think the rest of the dishes could live up to it, but the seven day aged duck gave it a run for its money. The whole ensemble (polenta, French lentils, peaches) was delicious but the wine soaked grapes were an amazing and unexpected treat. Despite the low-key vibe, the prices are spendy but on par with the quality. Plan your next special occasion here, you won't regret it read more

My hubby and I typically don't venture out this way but we were in the area this week for work and we decided to come here for dinner after seeing their reviews on Yelp. Heritage is a quaint little restaurant that looks like you're walking into a friend's home with an aroma of a home-cooked meal. We had reservations for dinner and we're seated by the window. We enjoyed a pre-fixe meal for two ($70/pp) and opted for non-alcoholic drinks as it was a weekday. I got their house-made Blood Orange soda which I asked to be less sweet, and it was perfect, and my hubby got their lemonade. We enjoyed a Deviled Egg as an appetizer, the Heritage Pork Belly, Hamachi Crudo, 7-aged Duck, and the Milk & Honey ice cream and Pavlova. Everything was really tasty, especially the Pork Belly and Duck! It was cooked to perfection and paired with a delicious sauce. The Hamachi Crudo could have been a little better -- the sauce wasn't as flavorful as we had hoped for. But overall, it was a fantastic meal. Great and friendly service as well! Would recommend this quaint little spot for anyone who appreciates fine dining with an unpretentious feel. **Just a note** They require a credit card to hold your reservation. read more
Beets and cabbage dish blew my mind! Who would think I would ever rave about these two random veggies?! The beets dish was just so refreshing, I am now a huge fan of cucamelon (1. Because it's so cute and tasty 2. I love saying the name). The cabbage salad blew my mind with how much flavor was packed in! I loved the other dishes as well, especially the scallops but I think the first two were my favorite. I am so glad Long Beach has this little gem in its city, I look forward to returning to see what they come up with next. read more

Absolutely wonderful experience. Our server was nice and knowledgeable. First three courses were fantastic. Our favorite was definitely the wedge salad. Their Caesar dressing dressing was to die for. The place is quaint and clean with simple lines. Great place for a date. The tasting menu is only $110, which is a phenomenal value for 6 courses. The only dish I wasn't a huge fan of was the parsnip dessert. I appreciated the effort, but it didn't feel enough like a dessert to me and I LOVE my sweets. Would come back in a heartbeat though. Hats off to the chef! read more
Delicious. The door gets stuck sometimes, so you have to nudge a little, but they're open, open, open. My friend and I shared: -cherry tomato salad ($8): bocconcini, sunflower seed, pesto -rancho gordo beans ($8): chorizo, house creme fraiche, cilantro -smoked Santa Carota brisket ($17): pickles, slaw, garlic aioli on a country loaf All the sides were rather small, but stupidly good - the Rancho Gordo beans were out of this world. The house creme fraiche melted into the bean stock and it was damn good. My sandwich, on the other hand, could have been better. The brisket was nice and smokey - lots of flavor, however, I'm a slow eater. The country bread became real soggy because I couldn't eat fast enough to keep up with the slow soak from the slaw. My bad, but sucks to suck. Perhaps there should be a shield of something to keep the bread from becoming soggy because otherwise, was a dreamy bite of brisket. Oh, and the fat. I couldn't deal with the pieces of fat. Super cute Long Beach spot. I highly recommend coming here. read more

My husband took me here to celebrate my birthday and, let me just say, I'll be thinking about that meal for a while! I do miss Heritage as a sandwich shop (RIP pork belly sandwich and deviled eggs), but their tasting menu really delivers and flows well. Marissa was our server, but every staff person took great care of us. Each dish was delicious and beautifully presented without being pretentious. The candle and card they added for my birthday was a thoughtful touch. Long Beach is lucky to have this little gem. I look forward to coming back! read more
Firstly, congrats to Heritage on earning Long Beach's first Michelin star. Well deserved! Kanpachi Crudo was a highlight. The amberjack was buttery smooth, and paired so nicely with the sweet pineapple sauce and jalapeño slices. Sweet and spicy - very well balanced dish. The Cannonball Cabbage and Diver Scallop courses were nice, but both quite creamy and rich. The cabbage had a delicate char to contrast the soubise, really enjoyed this. The scallop was reminiscent of a refined clam chowder dish. The other highlight was the Iberico Pork Presa. The pork was pull-apart tender, well seasoned, and complimented with the snap pea puree and caviar butter. The caviar butter was the most indulgent element on the menu! I did find it odd that there were two desert courses. The Blackberry Froyo felt like an unnecessary afterthought when compared to the Burnt Sage Honey Cake finale. I would've much preferred an additional savory course to follow the pork instead. In all, Heritage was a pleasant experience. Service was good, the open concept kitchen allowed for a level of intrigue and observation, and two dishes were memorable. Worth the price of admission for the Michelin star? I'd say at least once, but probably not for a repeat unless the prix fixe changed drastically. read more
Perhaps a bit overhyped to be honest. There were only two dishes that really blew me away as part of this $110/person, 6-course menu when I went on 1st September: - Farm beets: Burnt strawberry, cucumber, granita While I'm a fan of beets (they taste like dirt to me no matter what), I didn't think this was a terrible dish - a refreshing starter; I quite preferred the strawberry, cucumber, and granita, and wish there was more of that, with maybe potato to balance it out as a neutral ingredient - Canonball cabbage: Sauerkraut soubise, Caesar, brown butter [My favourite] Absolutely loved it - like a giant Caesar salad but not quite; the fermented aspect had a lovely balance with the brown butter and a great portion size too - Grilled diver scallop: Crab, corn, farm squash [My favourite] I had no idea how large the scallop was going to be but this was not only cooked so well (tender/soft) but seasoned wonderfully with a hearty amount of crab, corn, squash, and sauce - Iberico pork shoulder: Polenta, fennel, jimmy nardello The pork shoulder came off as a tad salty, but the polenta had a wonderful cheese-y balance to it; I did like the chilli as well as the side salad it came with - a good balance of flavours - Toasted sunchoke ice cream: Sunflower seed praline, caramel, banana [My partner loved this] The praline was delicious and I wish there was more of it; the sunchoke flavour was a new one for me and everything went very well without being overtly sweet in any way - Pavlova: Parsnip pastry cream, grape The cream was delicious, but the Pavlova itself was extremely sugary for my taste (although that is the ingrediente in this dish). Didn't do the wine tasting, but that is another $60/person. You also get a choice to do a caviar bump betwen the scallop and Iberico plates; we didn't do it, so I don't know the price or quality for it, but I'd much rather just buy caviar from the store instead. Heritage used to be listed as a sandwich shop, but they only do a tasting menu - that's it; so when you make a reservation it's solely for that and you have an option to add on wine pairing for each course. They recently received their first Michelin star along with the Michelin Green star for sustainability, and I fully understand why they deserve the latter with their farm-to-table, seasonal-only menu - that doesn't mean automatic 5-stars though. Since this is in a converted Craftsman home in Rose Park, the dining area is split into two parts - a left (through the entry door) with the open kitchen, and a right that's away from the open kitchen. You only get a clear view of the open kitchen and the kitchen staff if you sit in the left-hand room and its staff hard at work. The service was part odd and part wonderful. Upon entering - make sure to go through the door that says "Entry" -, we were not greeted by anyone immediately. We had to walk in past a table on either side before someone (the hostess) noticed. I gave my name and we were led to a second area (what may have been the living room) to our table. The hostess gave us the tasting and drinks menu, and let us know that our server would be along; our server was great. She took our drink order and then every time a dish came (either our server or the food runner) would explain what it was. Special shout-out to our server for removing the candle from the small table because the scent and heat were bothering me. No questions asked; super considerate. I do have to note that it did take some time between plates, so I wish that the dishes were more closely spaced instead. The ambiance is meant to be casual-cozy, but the dining room is poorly organised with one side feeling more spacious and the other feeling extremely cramped. I'm a very petite person and ourtable was very small table - looking around, I felt almost claustorphobic. The table was solely aesthetically pleasing faux marble with wicker chairs - not at all comfortable. And, even worse, they kept the second door (facing the entry way door) open, causing all the street noise to filter right in, making everything louder and causing people to speak louder - I had a hard time hearing my partner speak. The decor is extremely minimal, but that's fine; anythign else would make an already cramped space more cramped. Where is the soundproofing? A/C? Very dismayed with this entire experience. Parking is extremely hard to find - it's all street parking in a residential neighbourhood. There are two spots with the house, but they get taken quite early (given they open at 5 p.m.). If you want to experience a neighbourhood Michelin star restaurant for the sake of saying you have, then I suppose this checks that box. I won't be returning for the price tag and don't recommend it for the price & quantity. Mind you, the same menu (with slighlty different items) used to be $60/person last year, so that price jump is not justified to me; now (late September), the menu on their website has 6-courses but is $120/person. read more
Welcoming. Inviting. Menu. Summer brunch turned out to be a great experience. From service to actual dishes, restaurant creates a thoughtful line of entree selections. Go with the lunchbox, that includes salad, entree, and dessert. Kitchen and service efficient. I'll be back. Server, Daniella was wonderful and knowledgeable about menu. read more
Just ate the most amazing dinner at Heritage. This is definitely the best restaurant in Long Beach. Every course was delicious and their wine pairings were on point. I called a few days before and asked if the first course could be altered because I just can't eat beets and they gave me a cucumber course. The sangria was so refreshing. Desserts were decadent but not too sweet. We can't wait to go back read more
Heard about this famous Michelin Star spot. Had to see if it lived to the hype. AMBIANCE Parking: Street parking so it can get tricky but there is about two spots in the back reserved for the Heritage. I would recommend carpooling or ridesharing. Seating: Inside seating from bar seating or small groups. Feels: It's off of the busy street of Cherry and in the heart of Cambodia Town. It can be hidden with other houses/apartments so keep your eyes open but it looks more maintained than the rest. The spot itself is great. It kind of reminds me of a family-run bed and breakfast inn set up but not really. It was clean, minimal with lights dimmed. The spot is decorated with plants and randomly organized books. This spot gave me date night vibes, catch up with a friend, or a solo unwind. FOOD: We did the four-course meal and the menu gave us four sections with different selections. Portions were rightfully small so my partner and I mixed and matched our orders Mushroom Cappucino (Recommend) Like no other! Lovely presentation. A tiny cup with mushroom cream foam. A very warm umami broth to warm up our palate. Local Rabbit Pappardelle (Recommend) Yum! Green pasta with white sauce with savory cheese flavors and a hint of lemon tart kick. The rabbit has a slightly rough texture which makes it different from your usual meats. Octopus Confit (Recommend) Well cooked! The octopus was great but I never had it mixed with beans. It's an odd mix for me but this worked well. Diver Scallops (Recommend) Yummm! Scallops are always delicious! This experience was pleasant. Soft, sweet, and smokey. In ways, it reminds me of bacon scallops. 7 Day Aged Duck (Recommend) Delicious! Not too gamey but they told us aging it makes the gamey-ness fade. It was pleasant! Savory with multiple textures from the crunchy skin to the juicy chewiness of the meat. The lentils helped bring balance to the meatiness. Campo De Montalban (Recommend) Great! Though it's not my personal favorite, I can appreciate it. In laymen terms - bread, cheese, jam, and a leaf. A light treat after a series of bites. This might be better mixed with wine. Pavlova (Recommend) Yum! Quite an experience indeed. This light foam-like yet sweet biscuit mixed with sweet custard and fruit jelly. Delicious! CUSTOMER SERVICE: Fantastic! Friendly people - professional and kind. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Love, love, love. This was a pleasant experience. Aligning it with the Michelin rubric, this was definitely a Michelin experience - fresh food, unique flavors. I definitely would love to come back here to try out their other dishes. Tips: * Menus change seasonally * During the day time, they're a sandwich shop. * https://www.longbeachize.com/articles/heritage-attic-michelin-guide-california-los-angeles-does-it-matter-addison read more
First time dinning at a Michelin start restaurant and what a experience! the staffs were super friendly! they don't rush you to finish your food if you're enjoying the food. The waiter, and waitress's are very knowledgeable on the wines and the foods. This place has been on my yelp bookmark for years and I have finally treated myself to this place. It's aodern European restaurant, with 6 course and optional wine pairing. I asked the waitress if I should do the wine pairing since it is my first time, and Marissa said, absolutely! Marissa was so awesome! Most of my friends wouldn't come here here because most fancy restaurants are known for small portions and food presentations, but you only live once right? I showed my food photos to my co workers and they are willing to come.. I got to talk to one chef, and their menu changes seasonally. so, if you come here during the summer, you will get different sets of food! this is a fantastic place! only bad part is parking.. if you want street parking, o recommend you come early, unless you want valet parking read more
Location surroundings aren't ideal but the simple minimalistic interior with farmhouse touches are endearing. Service was attentive and friendly with a casual vibe. Meal: ingredients were amazing and fresh but culinary technique and plating lacked the creative flair I was hoping for. Wine pairings were all great choices worth repurchasing for home. read more
Our biggest complaint here was how slow the service was. We were seated about 15 minutes after our reservation time and had to wait outside while it was pretty cold. After this we had what felt like long waits between each course they brought us. The food was good but we were definitely left hungry and actually went to get in n out later after our meal as it was not filling for us. I enjoy a slow meal and enjoying the ambiance and company but for us it was too slow and dragged on with small bites followed with waiting for a long time for the next dish. read more

We are mostly plant-based in our lives but we wanted to celebrate a dear friend's hard earned promotion. He's long thought about visiting this restaurant since he lives nearby. Heritage is a Michelin-starred restaurant. We've been to our share of 1, 2, and 3 Michelin-starred restaurants over the years so our standards are high. I'm giving them 3 stars in this review because I felt the service and ambiance were so so when we're spending $300+ a person for food and drink. Thankfully, the food was the best part of the experience. We tried both wine pairings and enjoyed talking about each course and how it tasted with each wine. The Hen of the Woods was by far my favorite of the tastings. Though the Rainbow Trout and Crème Caviar were very tasty too! Overall, an interesting experience and an enjoyable time with loved ones. If you're looking for Michelin-starred experiences, there are better places in SoCal. But, if you're looking to support a local Long Beach place run by passionate people who create good food then give Heritage a try. read more

My wife and I dined here, based on the recommendation of friends of ours. The place is near our home, but I would take Uber/Lyft next time because the parking is not great in the area. The place and the menu are small. But the food and flavors are amazing. We both had the 3 course tasting menu, where we each picked a starter, a main and a dessert. We shared the roasted beets and smoked pork belly as starters. Both were really good. The beets had a herbs to balance them out, The pork belly was amazing. The polenta and apricot worked very well with the sweet and smoky pork belly. We shared the 7 day aged BBQ duck and the Natural prime hanger steak as mains. Again, both lovely. The plum and cherry were a nice accompaniment to the perfectly cooked duck. The vanilla parsnip purée worked really well with the duck and fruit, The beef was lovely with the artichoke purée. And we shared both of the dessert offerings. The Saint Agur cheese with a kumquat was a nice first dessert. The sweet corm Pavleva was a sweet and tasty end. This was simply a great meal. They now have a liquor license. So they have wines by the glass and drinks as well. We really enjoyed our meal. The service was great. This is a little gem in the LBC and we will be back. I'd just take Uber or Lyft the next time. read more

Is ther3 a vegan menu or vegan options?
No. This is a chef's table menu and you eat what you're served and lucky to get a table to enjoy the food. The website also states no menu changes
Any thoughts on sitting at the chefs counter versus in the restaurant proper? Is that really an option? I see it on Open Table for this restaurant.
Yes, it’s definitely an option. There are seats at the high counter that overlook the kitchen, and you can actually see people dining there in some of the photos. It looks like a fun experience — kind of like sitting at a sushi bar, but with a full…
Is there a dress code? How fancy is the dress vibe?
There didn't seem to be a dress code. The people wore anything from dressy to casual including jeans.
Can they accommodate for a gluten allergy?
Unfortunately, no. It's prix fixe with no substitutions.
How much is a dinner for 2?
$150/person...$75 each extra if you do wine pairing. Plus whatever you decide for drinks and special add ons
Can I bring my own wine and what is the corkage fee? Thanks.
Read it is $40 corkage fee

Not really! I found street parking pretty easy and now they have valet as well
What's the cancellation policy for reservations?
There is a 25.00 charge per guest if reservations are cancelled less than 24 hours before the reservation time.
What can they do for a vegan for 120$?
They do not make any menu changes. It's a set menu take it or leave it.
Are kids allowed?
This typically wouldn't be a place you'd bring kids to because the menu is set and can't be changed. Unless your kid has a seasoned pallet it might be better to have a grown up night out. You won't regret not bringing your kids here. It's so…
Is this place kid friendly?
Not really. The menu is pretty sophisticated and the restaurant is small.
Lunch hours terminated permanently, so it's dinner only now?
Yes. Just dinner now.
