Great food with good service always. Nice cozy ambiance but make a reservation because it's small and usually pretty crowded

Tight seating & small tables make for a fairly less than completely comfortable dining room. Food servers were not particularly gracious when given pushback to their demand that main courses be ordered along when appetizer order is placed. Aside from that noise, it should be recognized overall the staff is superbly attentive which was much appreciated. The few dishes we ordered were a mix between good & unremarkable. Baked claims-Outstanding; Chicken dumplings-Awful. Mediocrity deserves some reward which might explain why the restaurant itself was fairly busy. read more

Great, high quality and organic ingredient food at LB social. Also the chef is delightful. Nice place for a date or gathering with friends. Make rezzies as place is kind of tiny read more

Food is amazing, service is so warm and welcoming. A must to come over at least once weekly

Super dis-organized.... Service was terrible. Our appetizer came before drinks & we had to remind them. They put 3 of us in a 2 person table & the 2 appetizers almost didn't fit in the table. Seems that no one knew what was going on. Would NOT come back, even though food was decent read more

A nice and friendly little place with excellent food and pretty good servers. The Owner was very friendly making his rounds and greeting customers. Try their Chicken Perm. Its their signature dish. read more

Favorite place in Long Beach! Matt and all his staff are so friendly and inviting. Top to bottom perfection!

Located on West Park in Long Beach. Great friendly inviting service. This is a place where everyone knows everyone. Food was acceptable. My lobster dish was good . Halibut dishes were bland. Chicken parmigiana was chewy. read more

My group came here after volleyball on the beach, so we were tired, drenched in sweat and sand and massively hungry. We ordered some apps, the soft-shell crab and dumplings, which were both great. I'm not too fond of eating soft-shell crab because it kinda weirds me out, nevertheless it was tasty and was layered on a bed of great sauce. I ordered a Stella and the zoodles dish. All of our entrees came out at the same time. I really enjoyed the zoodles and seafood dish. Some places overcook the zoodles (zucchini noodles) not understanding they are best cooked with a quick pan fry, but LB has it right. The seafood sauce was well marinated and mixed well with the clams, mussels and shrimp. The service was great as well, the server was attentive but not overbearing and the chef came around a few times to chat and answer any questions we had. read more

We love LB Social! The food is excellent and the staff really works as a team, so they are very attentive, though low-key. The owner was working on the Saturday night we were there - actually working - alongside of the staff. He is opening another restaurant soon in Long Beach. We can't wait to go. read more

Delivery was on time and food was yummy. Mushroom risotto a favorite. Good portions.

Chef Matt can never disappoint This surprisingly small store front will delight your evening and palette: The staff is so knowledgeable, friendly, welcoming and amazing! Chef Matt is so talented, hard working & pleasurable We were greeted with fresh ricotta with a hint of crushed pepper and delicious soft bread We had and loved: Whole baked clams - delicious little necks - crispy bread crumbs - lemony garlicky sauce Angry Lobster - to avoid the Pasta guilty my waitress suggested the zucchini linguine swap after some questions! She was right on! Potato Gnocchi bolognese with ricotta my husbands fav! The pouring super tuscan wine was the best! I'm looking for it currently in stores Cocktail: bees knees (I had 2 and loved them) hard to find a good cocktail not full of sugar Dessert: was amazing! Pot De Creme rich & dark French style chocolate pudding accented with Garnier Marnier This place can please any finicky eater I will be booking my next family dinner here! read more

Everything is always DELICIOUS. staff is amazing and Matt is just a doll! The ambiance is really cool too!

Avoid at all costs. We had met the owner on several occasions and he seemed nice enough but our recent experience with his manager was very unpleasant. We had an inside reservation but this manager was a total control freak and after making us wait around she kept trying to seat us at a rickety table on the sidewalk outside that no one wanted. We didn't want to eat our dinner surrounded by drunken people staggering around on the sidewalk and fumes from passing cars. The outside table and chairs looked like they were purchased at a garage sale and didn't motivate us. The manager didn't show any respect for us and she probably thought she was Julia Roberts with her shiny silver mini skirt which was just tacky. If you like paying to be abused then this is definitely your place. But I can think of better restaurants with tastier food to mistreat you. read more

We came here with a group of 12 and the Owners were very accommodating. They had us seating and attendees to us promptly. Drinks were on the table when we sat down along with a round of shots for our friends birthday. The food was delicious and reasonably priced! I order to lobster roll, which was delightful and very filling. We also have the clams and octopus for an appetizer. Over all the environment, food and staff were above our expectations! We will definitely be back and recommend you give it a visit. read more

The short rib is just about the most tender, melt-in-my-mouth piece of meat I've ever eaten. I ate it joyfully solely with my fork. The sauce was so flavorful, I would have liked for them to pour it in a wine glass for me. Before that, my companion and I shared the French onion soup which is something I save for only places that can make it well. The cheese was a delicious Gruyere or similar and the onions were so yummy and not at all too salty. And we then shared a tiny portion of lamb sliders. These two were a little overcooked, but tasty and a nice palate cleaner for that short rib. The host is charming, server was attentive and the chef (owner?) was taking great care of his diners tonight. read more

We recently dined at LB Social for the first time with friends who had highly recommended it, and they were absolutley right! The size is deceiving. It looks about the size of a pizza place from the street, but when you enter there is a dining area to the right. Behind that is a lovely curved bar, and then two steps up to a larger dining area. And then there's the food. The menu selection is varied and interesting. For instance, we started with the appetizer special of the day, Steak Tartare, which was excellent. It is also rarely seen on any menu. I had the Pappardelle Carbonara, which had shrimp, bacon and brussel sprout leaves. My husband had Braised short rib orrechiette, another interesting and great choice. For a Wednesday night, the restaurant was fairly busy and seemed to be filled with locals. Matt, the owner/chef, made the rounds of all the tables, checking to see if his guests were enjoying their meals. Our server, Olivia, was bubbly, informed and attentive. A great evening out, I would highly recommend a visit! read more

Great food, great service, but I'm not so crazy about their ambiance. The seating here isn't particularly good unless you sit at the bar.

Matt does an Awesome job. I really enjoy date nights here. The food is tops ! Very well run operation good food and chill atmosphere! Love it . Actually our favorite spot to eat in Long Beach read more

New favorite. Rack of lamb was moist and flavorful. Appetizers were the grilled octopus and thick cut bacon. There is a nice menu that everyone will find to there liking. Chef Matt checks tables and greets everyone when he can get a break from the busy kitchen . There is a nice selection of wines and cocktails. read more

Matt and his staff provide the very best food and service in Long Beach. The food is always consistent and delicious.

From decor to food, this place is a definite win! Delicious food, great ambiance and fantastic drinks. The service wasn't anything special but definitely wasn't poor - the place could definitely use some more staff since the it's busy but they handle it well with what they have. The chef came over and asked us how everything was and he even helped his staff clean up and handle the bill. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the pear and beet salad! But nothing we had was short of excellent. Also a great cosmo! All four of us were satisfied with everything we ordered. Also extremely impressed that they had a sommelier walking around. Food we had (all recommended): Little beck clams, raw Chicken dumplings Pear and beet salad with feta and almond slices Linguine with chicken meatballs Pappardelle with shrimp Scallops special over corn Zucchini linguine seafood Will definitely go here again! read more

I loved my time at LB social from start to finish! Our waitress was awesome she was so attentive and really nice... I came here with a friend and we split everything: bottle of wine, steak tartare, chicken dumplings, and the seafood carbonara.... I LOVED their steak tartare... it was amazing and perfectly prepared with capers and the egg on top really did it for me. The silky feel and taste of the yolk mixed with the tartare really amped it up a notch. The dumplings were gone in two seconds... yes they do look just like every other Asian spots appetizer but the meat inside was chicken! And it had a really nice taste, perfect for splitting (order came with 6). Lastly, the seafood carbonara.... I'm actually not a pasta person sadly... but this pappardelle was so light tasting, not dense like most pasta. I was worried Bc of the thicker noodle but we loved it. They split our portion in the back with out the hassle of a splitting charge so that was great and much appreciated (I hate when places do that).. the shrimp that were tossed in were also cooked perfectly and they were juicy (no tails!, another plus). I like that this place paid attention to their detail.. I saw a lot of what people were ordering and each plate looked better than the next... they had a really nice menu. Def a little more on the fancy side unlike the other typical LB digs.... I wore heels :) read more

I have been here twice and while the food is delicious, the bartender has no social grace. He is unpleasant and unwelcoming . The first time I was there, my husband I wanted to have a drink at the bar and we were " scolded" by him for our seat selection- he wanted the ends clear . I understand that, but there is a polite and welcoming way to say that instead of "you can't sit there." Tonight we again tried to sit at the bar and walked to two empty chairs. Instead of a "hello" or " welcome" we were accosted by the bartender with " those seats are reserved, are you the reservation?" Again, I understand reservations , but there was nothing to indicate the two seats at the bar were reserved but more importantly, his gruff manner was so unwelcoming that we left. A good bartender can make or break a restaurant and no matter how good the food, why should I return if the vibe when I walk in is unfriendly? We left and went to Baldoria where we sat at the bar, and talked with the pleasant, upbeat bartender over two bottles of wine and a great dinner. People want to be valued and welcomed - the food is important, but the experience and feelings we have at a place dictate whether we come back. read more

F#$% Crocks I needed a restaurant in Long Beach as I'd never been, took to google and came across LB Social. This was my first time out at a restaurant with a new "special special special" "Emphasized" friend. Quality ingredients, Simply prepared. That's what got me. +Plus the menu looked great. The food was perfect, so good! I could not have had a better time. Great people, shout out to Noelle (hope this is the right spelling) and a great atmosphere. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend this spot enough. I live in Brooklyn and never leave the city to eat but that all changed last night. I will be coming back many times for sure. I ate oysters, short rib, cod, clams with collard greens and andouille... you should do the same. So f%&*#n' good. As a matter of fact, I hate writing reviews and never do but this place is so good and I had such a great time, we promised Noelle (shout out to Noelle!) ...give her a raise. Just a note, and this was confirmed by Noelle (hope this is the right spelling)... F#$% Crocks!... you should never wear them in public. Do better. They are only ok for small children and gardening. I can't stress this enough. Even if they're snake skin Crocks which for a Crock is probably the best you can do but still F#$% F@#$ F#$% Crocks. Not in public, keep that to yourself. Oh yeah my ex was a food critic for a major publication so I know what I'm talking about. Peace...

Excellent food and service!! A meal you remember and talk about. Any wait to go again!

Beach vibe fancy but you don't have to dress fancy. Delicious food. An owner that's present and a staff that cares.

This place is perfect. Literally. I love this place. The food was incredible. We had the pork chop and wow it was so good. I love the ambiance of this cute little place. Give yourself a favor and a nice quality meal and go here. The staff is also very nice and accommodating . Thank you LB social! read more

I've been dining at LB Social for many years. Whether I'm going there solo, with friends, family or clients, the service, food and ambience is always top-notch. The food is consistently delicious, the staff is always friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this gem for any occasion. I had my baby shower there and they did such a beautiful event. I highly recommend their chicken meatballs, steak, tartare and eggplant Parmesan. Also, the pot to crème or sorbet is my go to for dessert. If you haven't been there, yet, make your way there, and you will not regret it. read more

Don't eat here. The wait staff is fine but the owner/manager is awful. So many things went wrong tonight and no consolation. First I ordered a Manhattan and received 1/2 of a Manhattan. I ordered another one and jokingly asked if my glass would be full this time - no I got another 1/2 Manhattan. Ok no Problem I can live with that. apps were fine. Our Entree's came out and $42 special Lobster Fra diavolo with Andouille was a bowl of Spaghetti. I ordered special Orecchiette with short ribs - I got Short Ribs with Spinach no Orecchiette. I send mine back and they bring back same dish and say the Orecchiette is coming out so I eat some of the Short Ribs. Nancy is searching for Lobster and Andouille in her bowl of Chef Boy AR dee Spaghetti and none to be found. Really a bowl of Spaghetti for $42. We express our displeasure and send back the Spaghetti. Now I'm asked if I want mine to go and I say OK. They throw out my 1/2 eaten short ribs and wrap my untouched Orecchiette - yes really. I'm trying not to explode and explain all this to the Colorado girl and she offers us a desert or another 1/2 drink which I declined. I said no just do something for us on the check so we can get out of here. They charged us full price for everything. Nancy did not eat her dinner and I ate 1/2 but we are charged for everything at full price. Close to $200 tab for a horrible night out. I gave a super generous tip like I always do because it's not the waitress fault. The owner should be ashamed of his unwillingness to adjust the check. I've been there a few times before but will never go back. LB not Social - The owner/manager did not have the decency to come out and talk to us either after he shook my hand earlier - He's a cowardly slovenly tool. Stay away. read more

Visited on Friday night for the first time and LOVED it! From appetizer to dessert, every dish was absolutely delicious! We had the grilled octopus and fresh oysters to start, seared duck breast and short rib entrees were cooked perfectly, and the chocolate pot the creme dessert was heavenly! We shared the dessert which was a mistake - definitely getting my own next time!! Also shout out to the staff for being super friendly and attentive the entire evening. Wonderful experience at LB - We will be back :) read more

By far the WORST service I have ever had! We were there over 3 hours and had to flag someone down to clear plates, fill waters and take orders. No one came by to check on us after food was served(it took over an hour for food to come. I did not like the zucchini noodles and wanted to order something but, we were ignored. The zoodles were flavorless and in so much oil. Every time we asked someone for something, the response was like it was an inconvenience. I know places are busy but, this was horrible. read more
