When you go, def order: Bone Marrow Board, Shrimp & Melon Salad, Rillettes Crostada, Chicken Piccata, Pappardelle, and the massive Short Rib Al Pastor.

Would be a great place for a date night or any celebration. We'll definitely be back!

We came here because I was craving oysters. The only downside is that parking around the area is…read morereally difficult, so be prepared to spend some time looking for a spot. The oysters were served with a sauce already on them, which wasn't my preference since I like adding my own. Thankfully, the manager was quick to help and had them changed. I really appreciated the excellent customer service. The steak was flavorful, and the pasta was absolutely delicious--my husband and I both loved it. Overall, I'm giving this place 4 stars. The food and service were great, but the parking situation is definitely a challenge.

Crust on both pizza was the perfect balance of crisp and thiness. Pepperoni - Not too oily or salty. Super generous with the pepperoni. They use smaller pepperoni which I always prefer. White Pie - I'm usually not a fan of pizza with no meat, but this was an exception. Incredibly delicious and I didn't feel like it was missing anything else.

Tried Little Coyote for the first time after stopping by the brewery next door. Kept it simple and…read morewent with a pepperoni slice to start. Overall, it was solid--sauce had good flavor, cheese was decent, and the dough was nice. Nothing mind-blowing, but definitely a respectable slice. My only issue was the balance--there was a bit too much cheese for the crust, so even folding it New York-style, it didn't hold up well and kind of fell apart. A little more crisp on the bottom would've made a big difference. I also tried their Sicilian grandma-style focaccia pizza, and honestly, that was a huge letdown. It had this dusty, raw flour taste right away, was dry and spongy, and way overpowered with Parmesan. It just didn't come together at all--pretty disappointing, especially for the price. I've had frozen pizza that tasted better. Ended up just picking at the cheese to salvage something. On the plus side, the service was friendly and the space itself is chill--nice casual vibe with a few tables inside and outside to hang out. All in all, the regular slice was decent, but the focaccia pizza really missed the mark for me. Probably not a spot I'd go back to.

Boy was I pleasantly surprised by Saffron. We decided to go here on a weeknight. There were not…read morethat many people hanging out, but we still decided to get some Mediterranean food. We saw that Saffron was a good choice, so we made the move. Okay, Pine avenue in Long Beach has experienced some empty locations. This spot is located behind Chipotle where the movie theater used to be. Although it's nestled in the back of a couple of other restaurants, Saffron is easily displayed. I decided on the chicken skewer meal. That will run you about $20. The meat was tender, the hummus was delicious and homemade, the garlic sauce was exquisite, and the rice clearly had saffron in it. The pita bread that they served with the meal was definitely homemade and delicious. All in all it was a $20 well spent. If you're in downtown Long Beach on Pine avenue, I highly recommend going to Saffron for some excellent Mediterranean fare. Give them a try. You will be happy you did.

I love Mendocino Farms & the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon sandwich!…read more However, i'm removing one star only because I asked to change the bread on my sandwich to the ciabatta bread instead of the sesame one, which the associate acknowledged, and I still got the wrong bread. Of course, I didn't ask for my receipt nor did I check my to-go order before leaving the restaurant, so it was frustrating getting home and seeing that. Another thing was that I got there around 3 PM & a lot of their drinks were low. I just wished my directions were followed, especially since i'm paying almost $20 for a sandwich. Still, I love Mendo & will be back. I'll just make sure to check my order before I leave!

I downloaded the app and got a free cookie. Btw .... I'm picky with cookies and this was AMAZING. Warm and not too sweet. It was the cranberry white chocolate. I had the monthly special, the steak bowl which was delicious! It was a big portion for me so I had the rest for dinner and it was still great. The meat was cooked just rice and the mixture of the veggies and sauce was very complimentary. I also had their dragonfruit agua fresca which wasn't too sweet which I prefer. I added a dash of lemonade and it was yummy. I came around lunchtime and it wasn't too crowded. The parking is inside a lot with target and a few other food stores so plenty of parking options. definitely coming back and love the healthy options!

I stopped by for some lonche & I ordered their salmon bowl, hold the edamame. It comes with a piece of focaccia that I assumed was their signature thing .... But it was not that great. I think it is way too doughy compared to typical focaccia. I like my focaccia airy, with some bounce. This one was like a dense bread. Definitely not my forte for having focaccia. You're able to see in my attached photo just how thick and dense it looks. The salmon bowl itself was pretty refreshing. I think the dresssingggg was perfectly tailored to the bowl. Not too acidic, not too sweet, not too salty. It dressed the bowl up real nice. The salmon was tender, nicely cooked, not chewy-- I hate when I get cheewwwyyy salmon I want fish not gum. The rice and sweet potatoes were perfect! Absolutely a nice bed made for the salmon to lay on. I tried the Shirley temple it's way too sweet, more grenadine than anythang. I just optd for half unsweetened tea & half of their lemonade. It was average. The cranberry cookie was pretty good! Not something I usually lean towards but I was wowd to taste how good it was. Cranberry gave it that nice kick of tang on your tongue. Service was friendly, I ordered through the kiosk screen. It's clean inside and in the restroom as well. Plenty of parking in the plaza.

The whole set up makes this place so inviting but also entirely cozy feel it's fantastic! I had an absolutely great experience on a Saturday! It was so good that I came back the very next day on Sunday to get the same thing. Unfortunately, I couldn't even consume my order the second day. I ordered the green machine smoothie which was absolutely phenomenal the first day the second day it was an entirely different color and crazy sour taste. The front end person making my drink told me that this was due to the differing amounts of spinach each person makes it with. The crazy thing was this second smoothie wasn't green like the first day so how does less spinach make it sour?? Honestly it seemed like the milk went bad and they didn't want to say anything. They didn't remake my drink and seemed offended when I asked clarification on why it was an entirely different color and taste. (Included in pictures) Those things aside the chocolate donut was phenomenal and I did really love my experience on Saturday. Sunday just left such a horrible taste (literally) in my mouth that I wouldn't be back. *Edited to show "green machine" not just "green smoothie" as previously stated.
