We went here for Father's Day. With reservations seems to be organized sitting us outdoors with lout the hassle of waiting. The everything we order was well prepared and delicious. I ordered a dozen of oysters but surprisingly they were very small ($49). You should ask what type of oyster to give an idea what you're ordering. Overall, the food and service were great. I would go back and experience the evening atmosphere. I'm sure it must be pretty.

Our Famous "Garlic Cheese Bread" Burger

Ambience: 15/10 Service: 10:10 Food: 10/10 Wait time: 10/10 I was here celebrating a graduation and the ambience is absolutely perfect right on the water. There were seating options both inside and outside which I absolutely loved and everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. My absolute favorite was the warm butter cake and I truly enjoyed my shrimp cocktail nice huge jumbo shrimp. The service was great and the drink menu is pretty extensive. Well I did not have a cocktail. One of my family members enjoyed their version of a bloody Mary OMG. I think what I like about this place most is that if you want to have an upscale experience, you totally can. However, if you're not in the mood for all the extras and you just want to go dine somewhere nice this fits the criteria also. I'm literally trying to figure out a reason to go back now.

Reserved for a pre-Mother's day celebration the night before. Service was great-- friendly front staff and attentive server. Our server was able to recommend us the best type of shucked oysters to pick that were "beginner-friendly." We went with the East coast derived oysters, and they were actually really good with no fishy aftertaste. Appetizers and entrees didn't take too long to come out-- around 15-20 minutes for all to arrive at the same time. I actually like their bread they offer as a courtesy because it had a hard, thick outer shell but was soft in the inside. Their butter is also heavenly, loved that it was sweet! Entrees were decent-- I got the scallops and they were soft and quite delectable. Prices range anywhere from around $30-$75 for their entrees, which I understand comes from the freshness of the seafood and that it is a fine dining restaurant. Ambiance definitely sets a low-lit vibe that would be best for date nights. Kind of hard to see the menu if you don't place the little table lamp in the middle of the table. But again, understand it's probably for the fine dining aspect. Do wish we were able to sit outside to get the nice breeze and view, so maybe next time!

Haven't been back here for a long while. The 1st time was here was for my HS prom's dinner back in the 80s and it's still standing and went back several time afterwards. Parking is fine with private paid parking lot (they do validating for it) or you can find paid or sometime free street parking or meter parking spaces. The place is overlooking the water and quite a view, especially during sunset. Spacious, nice, clean restaurant with great vibe. Services can be 80% hit and 20% can be miss. Most foods here are good but off the prices, so so, but you're most likely paying for the views and the location more likely. I really enjoyed the fresh oysters, calamari and fish & chip...well battered and well cooked. But overall, it a good place to hangout for sure.

Be ready for a spendy meal. We had a large group of 16 for lunch. It was very nice inside. Parking with validation was $10.40. I had the ahi tuna sandwich and eel sashimi. Eel is always good. The ahi seemed overcooked. He had the Chilean sea bass which he loved. We all shared oysters, calamari, garlic cheese bread(SO GOOD). I had a mango mojito which was delish even though the mangos in it were a bit under ripe. $1227.00 was our bill! They tacked on 18%. So his tip was $169!

I was really disappointed here. The food was okay, they told me a few minutes after ordering that they didn't have what I wanted and then the waiter hovered until I picked something new and I hadn't thought of a backup option and he seemed annoyed. They also took away our appetizer plates while there was still food on them and never asked if we wanted them cleared. Filled up half the table with water and then didn't come back to fill up the rest for 16 minutes.

While on a staycation in Long Beach, my wife and I found ourselves strolling all over The Pike area. We stumbled upon the Parker's Lighthouse and decided to pop in for a quick snack. We orderd a couple cocktails and some appetizers. I had an Old Fashion my wife went with a Pomegranate Basil Smash. For the appetizer we went with the Karage Chicken Lettuce Wrap, Crispy Calamari, and The Queens Roll. The service little slow, but thankfully we weren't in a hurry. Although we sat in the bar area, it seems to be a kool place for a date. There are bunch of window seats with ocean views that could set the vibe. The Lettuce wraps were our least favorite due to the lack of flavor. You most definitely will need to use the sauce it comes with. The sushi and the calamari were wonderful. The sushi was nice and fresh, and the Calamari was crispy and flavorful. The cocktails hit the spot. Overall its a good spot for drinks and light bites.

Broccoli
Alex Z.

Great service, our waitress was super attentive. The food was good, we got the broccoli, burrata, seafood linguine, and strawberry salad. I wish the toast for the burrata wasn't so soggy. We came here for our second date so we came here for our anniversary this year :)

We had a great time...the view deserves all the stars. The service was great and our server was very kind to the kiddos and indulged them the whole time. The kids menu was a hit with our little ones, who enjoyed popcorn shrimp and a kids size fish and chips. We also shared a mixed grilled plate that was serviced with skewers and the fish of the day. It was a good and healthy plate. We also ordered the tollhouse pie which hit the dessert spot, but had a lot of nuts. All of the pier spots are clearly for the views. The food was good, but not the star of the show.

New York Cheesecake

Went here for a company dinner, and we were seated in the private room which has a water view. Gorgeous day, so it was perfect! I got the steak (medium) and the guava groove (cocktail). The steak was cooked right. The veges that came with it were good, and I especially like the gravy for the mash potatoes. The cocktail had a good ratio of alcohol and sweetness which were to my liking! The cheesecake was decent and nothing special. Servers were friendly.

Oyster
Maria R.

Stopped by here and had an amazing late lunch. I was hungry for this one. I ordered a poke bowl with more salad than rice. I loved the sea weed the salmon and tuna was beyond delicious it also cane with a miso soup and i loved that as well. We also had the oysters they were pretty good but one region forgot Which one had more fragments of the shell not cool really annoying to be honest. Service was fast and easy. The ambiance during this time was great honestly quiet and intimate with really nice views.

There is a narrative around Mother's Day and well other major holidays associated with going out like Valentine's Day and maybe Easter for Brunch that paints them as pit of wait and rush. My mom clung to that theory as reason why not to go out. But I believe that opportunities arise for grand dining even on days froth with guests. And Parker's Lighthouse, in many ways, in many genuine ways, offered the opportunity for us to experience a lounge-esque expeirence when we arrived without prior reservation and kind of just showed up. After having our first morning experience, my mom and I went to Parker's Lighthouse because continued rest for us was the move. We walkedt the Pier's/Village's end to find the restaurant. It was packed, clearly. There was a lot of movement, a lot of rush, and a lot of stalling as people let people pass. I explained that we did not have a reservation and we would love to sit by the water. The first host explained that there was no area for that except the stools that were exposed to the heat. She did not say that, but that is what they were . I said ok. We were going to figure it out. If we had grit, and hope, we could enjoy a mother's day happy hour. And then the most wonderful thing happened, the server who walked us, saw a booth opened that was right by the water and under the shade and asked if we would like the booth? And I said yes. I am not sure if she opened that option to us when she saw it, or she got the green light before, but that small choice of hers allowed my mother and I to be comfortable because we were sitting in a coveted spot. Every other person that came sat in these high chairs and they were under the sun. People asked for one of these booths that me and my mom had, and they were denied because there was nothing open. So yes, I am thankful and glad that everything went just right for us to just walk in and get one of the best seats in the house. It was not a Christmas day miracle, but a Mother's Day Gift. Izzy was our server and she was a gem. My mother's go to move is to get fried calamari and the joint had it in their Mother's Day Specific Bar Menu or Lounge Menu because a separate brunch was happening inside. The calamari was fried not to a standard golden crisp, it was a standard above golden fried calamari. It is more than just good, it was delectable. In fact, she ordered a second helping to take to someone she knows. That in itself is an undeniable marker of success. I got this sushi role- Salmon Ponzu role and it was just a great set of bites. The onion waas fresh, and clean, not fried or anything. You got the purpose of the onion immediately, and I am glad because the onion gets a lot respect but I know a lot of people leave onion behind on their burgers. The whole dish had this umami taste that made me feel like I was eating something fresh in flavor. The sea across from me would approve of the bite. I also ordred a rasberry lemon drop. Izzy kept me in the loop as to why it was delayed. She was busy, yet still made the effort to not make me feel like we were on after thought. A prudent strategy against let us not make this customer feel like he is a hog to feed on this busy day. And the drink when it came was fruitty and ptoent and like I only need one, it did its work well fast. Of course the view was perfect. A spring day that mirrored summer heat. We had the shade, we got to lounge, we got to eat great food, and we were comfortable in a way that made us want to stay. So in short, the whole experience was either a system's error on what is suppose to be a day filled with barriers or a simple case of us being at the right place at te right time.

Brussel sprouts appetizer.
Staci F.

We made a reservation for an early Mother's Day lunch at Parker's Lighthouse. We haven't had a chance to eat here in years! I'm so glad we finally made it back because it was a wonderful experience. We were seated at a beautiful table with a full view of the ocean. The restaurant was immaculately clean with beautiful decor. I love how it is modern nautical style. For appetizers we ordered calamari, Brussel sprouts and the warm crab dip. All the appetizers were delicious! My favorite was the Brussel sprouts. I have never had Brussel sprouts cooked with chili honey and served with hummus. It was so ono! For entrees, we all ordered the seafood Cobb. Although it is served with a Louie dressing i asked for Bleu cheese instead. The salad was so fresh and delicious! A perfect lunch entree! I had mimosas and my husband and and son ordered from the beer menu. The alcohol beverage menu is nice and extensive and has a little something for everyone. We such a wonderful time and we're so pleased with our food and the service. Our server Brandon was amazing! We were so lucky to have him as our server! 5 stars for Brandon! I highly recommend Parker's Lighthouse if you want amazing service, food and views! It is a bit on the pricier side but you definitely pay for what you get! Absolutely worth it!

Ask the Community - Parkers' Lighthouse

Is there valet parking or nearby parking lot?

Yes, there is nearby parking. It is pretty expensive. You have to pull a ticket. Restaurant will validate ticket to reduce cost but it isn’t free.

Thinking about my attire. Is shorts and flip flops to casual for this place?

You will be fine we were very casual when we went!

Do they also serve sushi?

Yes, they have a small sushi menu

Are dogs allowed at outdoor seating? A small dog inside doggie carriage? Also, any buffet brunch?

They don't offer a buffet brunch and your dog should be fine.

Do you serve kids menu?

Yes

How's the parking situation? Do they have their own parking lot/structure, valet?

There is a general lot for all the shops/restaurants in the area. With validation parking is $10 for a couple hours. It's not a big lot either. You may take a few laps during peak hours.

Is Thanksgiving menu limited to fixed price three course menu?

Yes

Is sit down now available?

Yes, both inside and outside.

Is the patio dog friendly?

Is the menu still the same as pre covid? I know some restaurants have changed to a more limited menu..

Michelle, I dined on their opening weekend and there were no special menus. The options were quite extensive. And of course as in the past, the food was impeccable.

What's the dress code here...casual, semiformal, formal?

I visited just recently when they reopened and the dress code is casual. The staff was wonderful and not stuffy at all.

Will they have a Thanksgiving brunch?

Brunch buffet is only served twice a year. Easter and Mothers Day.

Does anyone know what the corkage fee is here? Thanks

$25

Can you make reservations?

Yes, you can make reservations. The outside patio is nice if it's not chilly.

Do you guys have brunch? Endless Mimosas? If so can I have pricing.

Yes you can make reservations on line

Where is the happy hour? Are there still mice views at the bar?

I would call for the happy hours. And the best view is going to be the outside seating. The bar is inside.

If I wanted to sit outside and have a view of the queen mary and the water, where would I request to be seated?

Just ask to be seated on the patio facing the Queen Mary.

This place popped up, and it was happy hour. So we thought why not. We got lucky and found parking close (rare for that street). And walked over and immediately loved the vibe. We walked in and were greeted immediately, and then brought upstairs. The decor on the way up was awesome. The old school nature, with paintings and abstract vintage pieces.. love. It felt like we were in an old industrial building. We were surprised that it was pretty empty when we got up there. We sat at the bar, and love the decor upstairs too. There's a view of the street from up there as well that's beautiful. The bartender greeted us fairly quickly, and we each ordered a speciality cocktail on their happy hour. Both were delicious. I will say that the prices are a bit steep for me. Very glad we came during the happy hour. But really want to return to try the food and more drinks. Maybe on a special date night out!

She was gracious enough even with there being little to no wiggle room- so shout out to her. Our servers were great, appetizers came out hot and delicious.

The restaurant was…read morefairly quiet at that hour, so I expected attentive service, unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I ordered the burger and fries. Visually, the burger was impressive and looked exactly like something you'd want to dig into. However, the salt level was overwhelming to the point where I genuinely could not finish it. What made matters worse was that our server was not attentive with refilling our waters, and when you're working through an extremely salty dish, hydration isn't optional. I left the meal feeling dehydrated and honestly a little frustrated. The bright spot of the visit was the Brussels sprouts, which were genuinely well done and showed some real kitchen care. If I were to return, I'd probably stick to the vegetable sides. For a restaurant with a 4 PM lull and minimal table traffic, there's no excuse for that level of inattentiveness. A simple water refill and a quick check in would have saved the experience. As it stands, the combination of an over salted entrée and absent service made for a tough sell on the value. If you're in the area craving a burger, you might want to save your money and head down the street to Louis Burger instead. Ellie's may shine in other areas; I've heard good things about the pasta, but this particular visit missed the mark.

It's right in Belmont and one neighborhood away from the water. Great date place and bar too. 2026 update: This breaks my heart. The menu has changed, the chef has definitely changed and service has unfortunately gone down. First off they cut a good portion of the menu and the physical design is not the easiest to read. (that's not really a problem tbh but it's something to note) What is the problem are the following: Ordering food for 3 took 20 minutes for servers to come, get food, and water + drinks we ordered. food took almost 45 minutes to arrive at the table. I get the kitchen makes a lot of stuff but this is crazy. at this point we were here for over an hour without eating. Not only were the orders wrong but also food portions were noticeably smaller. Credit due here, they fixed that (ofc which takes an extra time). Final straw here: To get someone's attention, get the bill, then for them to come get the bill, pay, and give us our cards back took: TWENTY MINUTES. Just to pay. tldr: food prices went up, staff not attentive, food still decent but different chef. Food is noticeably saltier. This place is still cute and servers as a great bar but oh my gosh has it gone down hill. Full context half the restaurant was empty. we are so disappointed. this place used to be great :(

The beef itself was a little chewy and in large pieces. I prefer the meat to be cut a little smaller and would like more lettuce and cucumber. I got a little taste of the spicy fried rice, which was really good. Some of us ordered Thai tea and didn't expect what we received, which was the tea with a Thai tea popsicle. What a treat! The Thai tea itself was pretty standard, but that popsicle was like the icing on a cake. The places, modern and clean. Staff is helpful and nice.

They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them. Perfect service, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food will definitely have me returning very soon! Parking is free for 2 hours at the nearby garage on 3rd and is a very short walk. The closer garage on Broadway is not free. You can make restaurant reservations on their website but it wasn't needed when we went.

I am here to review The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie, that's how late my Yelp reviews are coming…read morein. Sorry!! TLDR; It's expensive, and not worth the routine visit, but worth the one-time stop in to experience the festivities. The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie is somehow even more decorated and extravagant than you'd expect from a seasonal pop-up. The line looks long outside, as there are no reservations, but it moves quickly since they hold everybody to a pretty strict 2-hour time limit. The drinks are good, the cups are cute, and everyone is festive. It's an all-around fun experience.  I think because of this, you do pay a premium price tag for food and drinks that are just good or okay. I think it's something that is worth the visit if you've never been and you enjoy getting into the Christmas spirit. I think that outside of the pop-up, The Ordinarie is a fun spot to check out in Long Beach. It't not a pillar of the food scene if you're a tourist, but it is a good, late night spot if you work in the industry nearby. They have a great late-night menu with a killer smash burger.

Great food. Amazing service. Outdoor seating w umbrellas…read moreand heat lamps. Inside is very classy and warm.

I hate having to leave this as all the other experience has always been amazing. This was the first…read moretime we stopped by after the name change for brunch during pride weekend on Sunday. There was already a good amount of people waiting when we arrived. They actually were able to seat us right away on the side where the street was at one of the high top counter. Don't think people wanted those seats. One section was empty which we asked if they could moved the umbrella a little to shade us and the other section. We couldn't sit there as we were told that it was for a group of three that was waiting already and they requested it shaded. Ok, so we can't share the umbrella.... Anyway, we sat down and did move the umbrella a little where it would shade everyone but the hostess came back minutes later and moved it back. And of course, the group didn't even sit there which they ended up putting two other people who didn't even care if the umbrella was there... Enough of that. Service was on the slow side. It did take a while till someone came over to take our order as well as brought over some water. Menu did look similar but I'm not sure if they added new items on the menu. After we ordered which did take a while a drink did come out. I had to walk over to the bar section to ask for a straw. Appetizer did come out pretty fast which was the onion blossom. It looked amazing, a little salty but good. The waiter that brought it out for us, I asked for an extra side of dipping but that never came out. As for the main, the honey chicken sandwich and the breakfast croissant. Well, when the dish came out, one of the order was wrong. Instead of croissant sandwich, it was a breakfast sandwich instead. Server was a little taken back and asked the waiter which they looked somewhat confused. Don't know if it was an honest mistake or they just put in the wrong order. Anyways, had to wait for that to come out. Again, still didn't get any extra sauce which I ended up walking to a table to grab some ketchup instead. One of the server did notice but was like whatever. Rarely did we get checked on until I asked for a refill which was once the whole time. When the bill came, I had to ask again. Not once did water get refilled the whole time till the end. Service was just not the same as prior visit. I don't know if it's new management or just a change in name but it wasn't a nice experience. The food was good I give that but service this time, major fail. Hopefully it's not alway like that. Hopefully, next time will be different.
