    Butter cake
    Andrea D.

    I went to Nick's on 2nd for lunch with family that came up from San Diego for a day visit. I have been to Nick's a few times and the food always hits the mark! I have never had a bad meal here. Today I had Cha Cha's Spicy Rigatoni and asked for blackened chicken on the side (we love protein ). It was so fresh, creamy, and cheesy with some Parmesan on top. I usually have the chicken piccata but decided to try this dish today. We also decided on butter cake for a sweet treat after our meal. Our waiter mentioned a lemon cake so of course we had to try that as well. The lemon cake was HUGE! And incredibly delicious. I am not sure if it is a regular menu item but if they mention it while you're there, it is so worth the try! The restaurant can get a little noisy inside but it's manageable. It is always very clean and the staff is really great at taking care of their customers. I would definitely recommend this spot for lunch, dinner, or even just some drinks at the bar.

    I thought the staff was a little robotic but they were helpful and attentive. Everyone's food was delicious and filling! I had the fried chicken sammich with fries that were cooked perfectly!! We were a party of four with two appetizers (artichokes and tartar I think) and four entrees. A couple of us took leftovers so the portions were good. The tables are all very close - someone with a disability needs to be extra careful navigating through safely.

    Busy even in a Monday but we got in on a bar table top, not my favorite but the service made up for it. Menu had quite the variety but what stood out was a small combo with a petite filet mignon, salad and soup of the day; perfect proportions for my appetite. My filet was cooked to perfection, with great flavor. Seviped eggs as an appetizer were good not fabulous as I had hoped, tasted like egg potato salad but beautifully plated. Hubby had a sirloin steak and baked potato, nothing stood out in his plate. Butter cake was outstanding for dessert. Simply decorated, sestinf inside and out; large bar seating. I would definitely return!

    I can't stop thinking about the Original Ribeye Melt! It's cooked to a perfect medium rare, insanely flavorful, and paired with hot, crispy fries. My friend and I made the mistake of sharing one and immediately regretted it. Lesson learned: order your own. The Baby Back Pork Ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and hefty - big enough for 1-2 people to share. The Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass was firm, flaky, and a rather small portion. I needed more than just a drizzle of that amazing lemon beurre blanc! Save this spot for your next brunch outing or dinner date! The outdoor patio felt calm and cozy, while the candlelit indoors buzzed with energy. The warm, enthusiastic staff made every visit feel welcoming and fun. Final verdict: Order the Original Ribeye Melt & don't bother sharing!

    Whoever said Nick's on 2nd has good food, they lied. I ordered the blackened fish sandwich, and it completely lacked flavor and seasoning. It was so bland I had to add salt just to bring it to life. Now, whoever said Nick's has the best butter cake, they were telling the truth! Ooh wee... that butter cake is GOOD. I've had butter cakes all over, and I've always sworn that Mastro's had the best one. Not anymore. Nick's officially takes the crown. The service was great, so I'll be back, but it'll be for the butter cake, not the food.

    Just had another amazing dinner, and the service was great as usual! We were greeted by Mia, who is always so kind, warm, and welcoming. She always makes us feel so special and truly adds to the wonderful experience!

    Taquitos.

    Tasty or WasteY??? A bit of both. Our first time in. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. Such a great vibe, especially for lunch time. I can only imagine how nice the dinner vibe is. My favorite things here, were the chips, salsa and guacamole. The food itself is a bit too technical! Meaning, they are adding way too many extras to try and make it different. Remember that old saying, Less is more! Try a more simple approach, so people aren't scraping ingredients off their food. There was so much added to my meal that I couldn't quite grasp how delicious the meat must have been. The wait staff was great. Very very attentive. Maybe we'll give it a second try, if we come back to Southern California.

    Food at Nick's is usually very consistent. I typically order the Bistro Plate or some other Meat dish and it is cooked to perfection every time. Their Asparagus fries are also one of my favorites. Service is always intimate and outstanding, servers always seem well seasoned and experienced. I absolutely love the ambiance at Nick's it's very unique and it seems like the restaurant is kept well. I give it four stars only because I feel like their menu has some strengths, but the rest of the food is alright.

    Spinach & artichoke dip, shrimp taquitos, tuna tartare, San Francisco Cioppino Specialty, espresso martini
    Cindy P.

    Truly one of my favorites! Food is always amazing and service is top notch. Shrimp taquitos and butter cake are a MUST. We put our name on the waitlist around 5:30pm and was seated around 7:13pm on a Saturday night. Honestly not bad at all as we were able to walk around the area while waiting. Can't wait to come back!

    The food was amazing but Evan provided the best service EVER!!! We accidentally ordered something we were allergic to and Evan said he wanted us to enjoy our meal and got us a new plate. THANK YOU SO MUCH EVAN YOU ROCK!!!

    Cioppino!
    Dana A.

    Nicks is always a five star experience! We had the Chilean Seabass and the San Francisco style cioppino with the most awesome sourdough garlic bread yummy! We had to get another round of bread just to dip in the soup! We never leave enough room for butter cake. I guess I need to get that sometime maybe just as my entire dinner. lol! Our server, Steven was awesome. He was super attentive and very nice. Did a great job!

    Center cut, cooked to a perfect medium rare as requested.
    Brian M.

    With one night in Long Beach, so happy we choose Nick's for our get together. Shrimp Taquitos were delicious as was the Scottish Salmon and the center cut filet. Great Mixologist on staff, the martinis were consistent and "on point". Definitely recommend and encourage a reservation - place was at capacity. While it can obviously get a little loud, we opted for an outside table. In hindsight if conversation is center stage, perhaps inside despite the crowd may have been a better choice - as the roadside noise in Long Beach is not for the faint of heart. Ending with service. Having Jonathan take care of us was like winning the lottery, always present when you needed him - but never around when you didn't. 5-star service / 5-star food - will definitely be back and highly recommend.

    I love Nick's so when a friend invited me to go out to Long Beach, I recommended this location. This one is in the heart of Belmont Shores. The parking is like any other metro city...street or parking garage. It's got lots of different shops and restaurants nearby. We had a reservation so we were seated quickly. The server was very nice and friendly. She was helpful with selecting options from their menu. We landed on the fried chicken, prime rib dip and the shrimp taquitos. The chicken was crisp, juicy and flavorful. It came with mashed potatoes, biscuit and gravy. The prime rib dip was also good. The bread was notably fresh and soft. The shrimp taquitos were ok. This restaurant is pretty inside. They had a fireplace at the lobby and a pretty big bar at the front. Enjoyed our time here with friends!

I've been about 2-3 times now, and the food has consistently been really good. That being said, I would definitely recommend a little more customer service training for the servers. Everyone I've encountered has been very nice, but sometimes it's the simple things, like showing that you're happy to serve your paying customers and making sure they feel taken care of. Each time I've visited, we've found ourselves waiting close to 30 minutes for our server to come by for refills, a to-go box, or even the check. I completely understand that mistakes happen and that things can get busy. I've worked in the restaurant industry before, so I really do try my best to be understanding. However, during one of my recent visits, my order came out incorrectly. There was an item on my plate that I had specifically requested not to have. Of course, mistakes happen, and I had no issue communicating the mistake to my server. What bothered me was that instead of apologizing for the error, she looked at me and simply walked away with the plate. I assumed it was a minor mistake and that she would have the order corrected. I could have just removed the item myself, but at the same time, I shouldn't have to pick through my food after receiving an incorrect order when I'm paying for it. When she brought the plate back, she simply left it on the table without saying anything or acknowledging the mistake. I actually found myself apologizing to her for making her do the extra work, and she just walked away. Overall, I really do think Luna is a great restaurant with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. I'm sharing this feedback because I think with some improvement in customer service, communication, and wait times, Luna has the potential to be even better. I would definitely come back, and I hope this feedback is taken as constructive criticism rather than anything negative.

    A New Job, A New Milestone & A Chance to Rewrite the Narrative…read more My best friend and I have a tradition of celebrating new jobs with a nice dinner. Since this was her new job and a major milestone, I let her choose the restaurant. She had visited Bo-Beau last year but didn't get the full experience, so this was her chance to rewrite the narrative. And it was truly night and day. I researched the restaurant beforehand and was excited to see that Bo-Beau is part of the Cohn Restaurant Group, which I mostly associate with San Diego and South Orange County. After this experience, I really hope they're here to stay. I noted on our reservation that we were celebrating her new job, and for once, the restaurant actually read the note and acknowledged it. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was excellent. The hostess welcomed us downstairs, another staff member greeted us when we reached the rooftop, and our server quickly followed up. Then came the surprise: complimentary champagne for both of us. It was such a thoughtful gesture, especially because those little celebratory touches seem to be increasingly rare. Our server was also patient with our questions and attentive throughout the evening without being intrusive. We spent about 2.5 hours enjoying dinner and catching up over: Baked Brie Brussels Sprouts Steak Frites Everything was flavorful, and the entire experience felt relaxed, peaceful, and worth the price point. The food was great, but the hospitality is what earned the 5 stars for me. Real hospitality is paying attention to the guest, recognizing the occasion, and making people feel genuinely welcomed. My best friend got the celebration she wanted -- and a much better Bo-Beau experience this time around. Will definitely be returning!

I'll definitely be back, and the cheesecake alone is worth another visit.

    DINING While Black…read more The 908 Restaurant Environment 1-5: 5 I really appreciated the ambiance and decor of the space. After enduring weeks of record breaking heat in Long Beach, this was the perfect place to land as the Summer Breeze... Makes Me Feel Fineeee again. A very well but gently lit space that still feels cozy and spacious. The outside gives no indication of how well the inside has been designed. Great for lunch or dinner dates. Noise level was low and there's no feeling of a chaotic restaurant environment. Food/Service 1-5: 4.8 I order the shrimp and lobsters fettuccine, bone marrow as an appetizer. My company ordered the lamb burger. All dishes we beautifully plated; true works of art. Neither of us had any complaints about presentation and creativity. As far as taste and as excited as we were to dig in to our food, the ONLY setback was the lack of seasoning mainly salt. I'm aware that a Chef does their best to meet the expectations of their guest. I'm also aware that meeting everyone's expectations is impossible. To confirm my advice of needing some salt in the food I patrons the restaurant twice, two days in a row. The food needs more salt and I stand solid on that opinion. The service was great and I thanked Mel for taking such great care of us. Mel is a rockstar! Diversity score 1-5: 4 The restaurant definitely appeals to diverse crowds. It reminded of the days I frequented Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster in Harlem, NY. Go again score 1-5: 5, Absolutely. I do hope I don't have to keep bothering the server for salt and pepper.

    We arrived in town the night before the IANA 2026 Trade Conference and we were promptly seated at…read morea table for six. I had a Japanese barreled whiskey for starters and the others chose a domestic brand. The ambiance is always fantastic at the restaurant and the maître d', was prompt, courteous and professional. The atmosphere was busy, but classy and visitors and locals alike seemed to all be pleasantly, smiling and milling about which is always fun to watch. My colleagues relished in ordering the savory farmed, New Zealand King Salmon main dish with a side of garlic mashed potatoes, my younger colleague enjoyed the Teriyaki Filet Mignon Tips while I enjoyed a more traditional New York Strip with garlic and Parmesan along with Sautéed Spinach, with garlic, shallots, salt and pepper. Now you have to grant a good review when the presentation, professionalism. and the deliverables are all pristine and delicious, 555 is a magical number that represents a shift in the universe as the universe cleanses itself of old and tiresome routines as the number five also stands for curiosity and 555 Eastern Steakhouse hit the mark dead on the nailhead. 555 Eastern Steakhouse will not disappoint so book a table and enjoy today !

But, their butter cake dessert is incredible! I would come back just for the butter cake alone! Parking can be difficult as it's Long Beach parking, be prepared. Would love to come back to try their oysters!
