We did Thanksgiving, I was impressed with the communication before day of and after our visit. We all opted for the Thanksgiving dinner plate the stuffing with andouille sausage was excellent. We enjoyed the turkey and the ham . The pumpkin pie roped everything off well. The service was excellent . And everyone was welcoming. We were seated where we could look out on 2nd St. we all enjoyed the night and will return read more

I was staying in Long Beach for the weekend, and ended up coming to this restaurant two days in a row. We were so impressed with food and the vibe, we needed to come back the next day. The first day I ordered the French Onion Soup and the Croque Monsieur. We came for lunch on a Friday and practically had our choice of any seat in the restaurant, which was really nice. We came back on Saturday, and it was super busy - although they do have a really nice brunch menu on the weekend. I ordered the Smoked Tri-tip hash, and I can't say enough about how good it was. Our group also split the Gochujang-glazed Pork Belly and a mimosa tray. Both were excellent. I'll definitely come back to this restaurant next time I'm in Long Beach. We easily spent over two hours here on the second day. They create such a welcoming atmosphere. read more

Bougie brunch fare but with real flavors that stand out! Love the French Toast and the cheesy potatoes and eggs! I'm always a fool for a dessert-like French Toast/Waffle/Pancake situation that is always the centerpiece of the meal. read more

We were in Long Beach because it's where our cruise ended. My nephew was in charge of finding a place for lunch, and this is what he chose. It's a nice looking restaurant. The staff was very friendly, and made a point of saying that the food is as much farm-to-table as they can do. I had a fish sandwich and it was really good. I was sad that I could only eat half of it, and since we were travelling, it wasn't likely that I'd get to finish it. I did take the other half to go, just in case. But sadly, that wasn't to be. As I'm from Michigan, I found it very pricey. That would be the only negative comment I have to make. read more

The quality of the food went away down ... I don't know if they change the chef.. I was very disappointed, still super expensive and quality is not there anymore . The only good thing going is the wine whiskey and cocktails.and lobster bisque is the worst thing one can serve at the restaurant like that ... read more

Went to this place for the first time for brunch and was blown away by the ambiance, great service and terrific food. Everything we ordered was fantastic: Tri tip hash Pecan French toast Lobster roll Gochujang pork belly My favorite dish was the pork belly, you have to get it every time. Service was stellar, our waiter was hilarious, kept us laughing the whole time. Only problem is parking, but it's worth it. read more

Stopped in over the weekend. Overall, the experience was positive. We came in with reservations, so once we walked in to check in, the welcoming and friendly hostess sat us down less than 5 minutes. He was super friendly and engaging. We sat in the booth near the bar, the restaurant is beautiful, the ambiance is open and it just provides an overall good feeling. Our server: He was amazing, super friendly and checked in on us a few times. Loved his personality and not rushing us. Drinks: I usually order the same drink when I visit this restaurant regardless of the location. At this site, it's been a hit usually, unfortunately this time for what ever reason, the perfect martini was excessively sweet. Our server was kind enough to take it back and have it redone, unfortunately not much difference. I'm not sure if there was a new bartender, perhaps since I did not see the usual guy bartenders. Manager stopped by to bring the new drink, not necessary, but clearly they care. Drink was not great, but I let him know it was ok, just needed to enjoy my dinner date and great food, Either way, everything was wonderful, the dinners (Burger and Fish) were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. I hope they can get the drink down correctly, I think it's a matter of perhaps ratio being off with the vermouth. read more

Such a great dinner with my girlfriend. We had amazing service from our server John Bex B. We enjoyed our dinner, we had the s&s burger and the braised short ribs. Cooked perfectly! Great patio setting as well. read more

We had high expectations for Saint & Second, but the food did not live up to the price point. We ordered the calamari, fish and chips, lobster risotto, halibut, and pork chop. The fish and chips were extremely soggy with a thick, pancake-like batter, and the fries were soggy as well. None of us found it edible and we did not want to take it to-go. The lobster risotto was lackluster. While it came with a generous amount of lobster, the rice lacked flavor and had a mushy texture. The pickled enoki mushrooms added an unnecessary acidity. The halibut was okay, though the white sauce was not a hit. The pork chop came out overcooked. When the manager asked for feedback, we were honest, but the response felt defensive. We did not want our food remade. We simply expect better quality from an upscale restaurant with $40 to $50 entrees. Lily, our waitress, was wonderful. She was bubbly, friendly, and made the experience much better. If it were not for her service, this would have been a one-star review. read more

Curb appeal is stunning. It's giving cabin and industrial vibes. We got wheeled in. Upstairs is open seating with a view. We got to people watch while sipping on some cocktails. I can only recommend my favorite dish which was the Prime steak frites. Cooked to perfection. The steak tartare was good but a bit tangier than I'd like. The server was attentive but he was hard to hear since his volume was lower than usual. Overall good experience. read more

We went to this lovely and lively restaurant on a Thursday night and the atmosphere was electric. You definitely need reservations. Our server Haley was attentive and friendly. A real joy. For starters they have a charcuterie selection and I absolutely loved the duck pate. It comes with grilled sourdough bread and tasty jam. We also had a goat cheese. It was divine. Our friends ordered a specialty drink with lavender and bourbon and said they would come back "Just for the cocktail" as it was interesting and so good. The wine sommelier, I did not get her name, was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. She suggested a bottle for my friends and her descriptions of the wines were unusual and original. Her choice was spot on. What an added delight to have her in the restaurant. Our entrees of mushroom, truffle pasta, grilled salmon and fish and chips were each perfectly prepared, tasty and a nice size portion. Definitely a great restaurant to go with friends, on a date - I do recommend you try it!! read more

I have a headache from hell but wanted a Caesar salad so bad. I got it with the grilled chicken. Beautiful amounts of parm, loved the crispies, not an overwhelming amount of dressing. While the chicken was juicy and a beautiful color, it was surprisingly Blanddd. They accommodated my request for truffle fries with ease. The waiter (I believe his name is Richard) and young lady runner were both kind and very helpful. Once I'm feeling better, I'll be back to try and entree and cocktail. read more

I've been here a few times with a large party and have had great experiences. Food comes out fast and is delicious, there is a wide variety, and the restaurant is so cute inside. Because it was busy, the wait time was long even though we had reservations. Not the most accommodating place for my grandpa who is in a wheelchair, as they gave us a table with stools that were bar height and did not offer to change seating. read more

One of the best places of all time. The drinks and food are excellent, and the patio is especially enjoyable. If you're looking to relax and have a great time, this place is 100% recommended. Thank you to Gio, our server, for the best customer service. read more

We came here for dinner without a reservation a week ago after waiting for about 15 minutes we were set near the bar. The noise level was loud, busy night. The food was good. My Onion Soup with freshly baked bread was yummy. The Pasta with Meat was a hit at our table. Our waiter was a busy bee at other tables and never came to check on us if we needed anything after our food was brought to us. Nice environment well decorated. Parking is awful, street parking only. read more

Cool spot! The upstairs area is self seating, and recommended as it provides rooftop- like views and cozy outoor seating. Although there are various options for seatings, including bar seating and indoor dining. I came here mostly for drinks during social hour, however did order the Calamari to snack on. This Calamari is different from other ones I've tried, as it has chorizo that adds a slightly spicy and smokey flavor to the Aoili. The only downside is that it was on the smaller side and the portion was a smaller than expected. I didn't get to try other items, but there were many that sounded unique and delicious. The hosts were very friendly, the service was decent but not as attentive as we had to wait longer periods to order, pay the bill, etc. read more

Not going back but it's too bad because I actually liked the place. We went here last night, had a great time, the food was alright, but I specifically said I had food allergies and had a not so great reaction following the dinner. Please make sure to tell your waiters to take food allergies more seriously. Oh well. The steak was definitely not worth $50, I can say that though. read more

My wife and I came for lunch, which was probably smart, because this place is great. Sierra was on the ball, water glass never fully empty, always there as soon as we'd look away from each other. We were lucky and got parking right out the front door. Wonderful industrial decor makes this one of a kind. The lunch crowd is interesting. People in very expensive suits talking about making the switch from business facing to customer facing. Laptop out working lunch. People like us in shorts and sandals. The whole spectrum. The food and drinks are why you come. We opted for the meatballs app and lamb Reuben. Wife does not like lamb and I am not a meatball fan. We took one bite of the other's dish and opted to share. I didn't know you could make pastrami out of lamb, but here we are. It's still clearly lamb, but you have to look for it. It didn't have that gut bomb quality of regular pastrami. Picking up the sandwich takes a sec, because it's so juicy it drips for a while, and now I have a spot on my shirt. A worthy souvenir to a memorable lunch. I got it with the side salad, expecting wilted lettuce and carrot straws. I got a crisp medley of tasty greens packed with little good bits of cucumber and tomato, with a dressing they should bottle and sell. The meatball dish was like the best parts of pasta. Juicy and packed with flavor. I'd have picked up the bowl to lick it had Sierra been less on the ball. The dollop of ricotta in the middle means each bite was different and spectacular in its own way. Even the bread that comes with it was worth note. Flavorful and toasted to perfection. My only gripe is they wouldn't tell me the recipe for the cocktail I got. It's the mezcal based apple one, I can't recall the name. It's tastes like eating the perfect apple near a campfire. Come soon, maybe we'll see you. read more

We had such a wonderful evening at Saint and Second! We sat upstairs and Vinny was the bartender and our server. He gets an A+ in service! He was knowledgeable on the menu and the cocktails. Even though he was busy managing other customers he was still attentive. The Paloma he made was so good! Our meals were brought hot and fresh. It was my first time trying the Branzino here and it was so delicious. The Parker rolls were also melt in your mouth good. My friends and I had no complaints. I can't wait to return! read more

Went here for my birthday dinner and it was amazing! I would definitely come back. I was told the menu can change based off popularity and what's in season, but all the dishes I got were really good. My fave was actually the Caesar salad! Service was so attentive and I loved the ambiance. Initially I wanted to sit upstairs and outside bc the pictures were cute but I actually liked the inside a lot more, esp in the evening. I loved the lighting inside. Parking can be crazy bc it's 2nd street so I recommend coming at non-peak meal times but would recommend this place for a special occasion or date night! read more

Came to this place across from Nicks on Second and I always feel that if you're across from Nicks you better bring your A game. And Saint and Second definitely did that! I forgot to take a photo of their calamari but my family and I enjoyed that with the crab cakes added an extra one for 4 of them definitely was worth it. While enjoying the antojitos we had a red wine bottle for ($48) not too bad and then enjoyed our Steak frites with medium steak so delicious with the pepper sauce! And then fish and chips with the Asian salad oooof I'd definitely come back for it the ambiance in here is very nice with dim lighting and upstairs is open seating with a bar. The seating upstairs is lounge vibes with high tops over looking the foot traffic so not so bad at all. Can't wait to go back and try other delicious entrees. read more

We had a end of the year ladies brunch, and the atmosphere is beautiful. We were taken care of by C. - she was patient, full of great information and wonderful recommendations. Between the eight of us, we had everything from 100 layer lasagna, fish and chips, super food salad, Caesar salad with salmon and avocado toast. All of the dishes were made to order, healthy portions, and served hot. A few of us finished our meal with the handmade apple pie. Super yummy. We plan on meeting together once per quarter and this just might be our spot. read more

Great Food, But Please Fix the Temperature! We've been a regular here because the food is consistently excellent. The meatballs and calamari are always my go-to appetizers - they never disappoint. The Asian chicken salad (with blackened chicken) is absolutely delicious and one of my favorites on the menu. However, I have to mention a significant issue that's been affecting my recent visits. The last few times I've dined here, especially on cold evenings, the restaurant has been uncomfortably cold inside. It actually feels like the air conditioning is running when it shouldn't be. While I appreciate that the manager has tried to adjust the temperature, it remains freezing inside despite their efforts. The food keeps me coming back, but the frigid dining room is making it hard to enjoy the meal. If this temperature issue isn't resolved, I worry you'll start losing loyal customers like me. Please look into your HVAC system - there may be something wrong beyond just the thermostat settings. I really do love this place and want to keep coming back, but dining in a coat including a beanie isn't the experience anyone wants! read more

The service shone here but not the brunch food, unfortunately. We started with the Gochujang glazed pork belly ($19) - the pork portion was tiny but tasted close to what a Korean restaurant would taste like Shakshuka ($18) - a strange take with chickpeas in it that threw off the texture and the taste was a bit bland. Also, they put the salad ON TOP OF the shakshouka so it would get hot and wilt immediately- what the heck? Gross. Smoked tri-tip hash ($21) - overwhelmingly filled with potatoes and just a few pieces of tri-tip (which was luckily well cooked) with a few shriveled pieces of broccolini scattered inside (weird choice). I thought the broccolini would be a side dish. Also the eggs were over-poached. It was a bizarre mishmash of food I would not recommend. I couldn't even finish the dish. Soft scrambled eggs with black truffle ($18) - decent but a smallish portion and the salad was a bit wilted. Luckily the waitress we had was wonderful and accommodating and took some nice pictures of us as we were celebrating a special occasion. The ambiance was nice sitting in the front patio section. We also got a lovely chocolate mousse dessert. Otherwise I'm sure there are other better brunch options in the area. read more

Saint & Second has a beautiful ambiance in a prime Long Beach location, but sadly, the food didn't match the setting--or the price tag. I ordered the steak and eggs, which came out to a shocking $52. For that price, I expected something memorable, but the skirt steak was incredibly tough and almost impossible to eat. The eggs were overcooked, the toast was dry and hard, and while the sauce was okay, it couldn't save the dish. It looked great on the plate, but the flavor and texture fell way short. The French toast was equally disappointing--just plain toast without the crisp or richness you'd expect, though the sauce that came with it was decent. Coffee arrived cold, and the service was painfully slow. For the price point, the experience was underwhelming. Great atmosphere, but I wouldn't return for the food. read more

STEPH UPDATE: Still has a great ambiance and wonderful bar. Could it really have been 8 years since my last visit? According to Yelp, yes it has. When I read my old review, I could see why: it seemed to be a place long on ambiance but short on great food. With so many places in town vying for one's attention, a mediocre, spendy experience in an area I don't frequent much relegated it to the lower end of places I wanted to revisit. That could change with my last experience, at least for the bar. The hubby and I ducked in here with some friends after dinner across the street, and luckily found four seats around a corner at the bar--perfect. The bar was as beautiful as I remembered, and the bartenders were friendly and welcoming. They were also efficient; you could tell they took their jobs seriously--no sloppiness, here, which I really appreciated. Our friends had some wine and the hubby and I decided to share a bourbon flight, which was delightful, complete with info card where you could note your impressions. I'd definitely return for the bar, especially since their menu doesn't have a ton of vegetarian options. read more

Came here on a whim when the restaurant diagonally across the street had a 2 hour wait! This place looked busy for a Saturday night, but we took our chances. Our choices were 45 minute wait, or bar or lounge now. We went upstairs to the lounge / bar and snagged the last small table. It was perfect! People watching, splitting dishes and chilling was the perfect way to end a spontaneous Long Beach hang out. Service was great. Food was great: the yellowtail ceviche, mezze plate and french onion soup were all notably yummy. I would definitely return if I'm in the area and seems like a great place to go whether you're on a date or with a small group. read more

We had a very enjoyable meal here last night on a Friday. Arrived around 5:30 and there was plenty of spots at the bar. We brought our own wine (corkage fee is $25) and they offered to decant it. We also had the mule cocktail which was refreshing. The best part was the fact it was still happy hour and we were able to get an assortment of appetizers to try. The salmon tacos were amazing as were the pork belly lettuce cups. I would go back just to have those again! Service was great and the ambience pleasant. read more

Ok so I never get to go to brunch on Sundays because I teach from 9am - 2pm. So when I had my first free Sunday in 6 years, I went right to Saint n second. And it was the best. We sat on the patio downstairs - perfect temps and spot to people watch. We drank our coffee slow. And ordered slow. And just enjoyed second street. The food is always good here. The staff here has always been the best. Friendly and know just when to be chatty and when to keep their distance. The drinks are so good! Try the fig one with the sage leaf. Or their Paloma - the best. Anyway - I'm so glad this is where I spent my one Sunday off. (If you sit outside downstairs, you have to be ok with dogs) read more
