    Tantalum is located right on the waterfront in Long Beach! The restaurant is in the Marina Pacifica shopping plaza, so there's a decent amount of parking. The lot also has an underground parking structure for additional parking. I came here for an event, and we were led to a private banquet room. It was a little warm inside, but we had a nice view of the water and seeing stand up paddle boarders/kayakers go by. Our table was provided with some shared appetizers including the Brunch-etta, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and Heirloom Tomato Salad. The Brunch-etta had mixed berries, mascarpone cheese, and honey drizzle on sourdough crostinis. The Chicken Lettuce Wraps came with crushed peanuts, carrots, cilantro, and butter lettuce cups with two dipping sauces. It was served deconstructed as a build-your-own style. The Heirloom Tomato Salad had fresh mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, Thai basil, garlic, and balsamic, topped with microgreens. Nice and refreshing! For my entree, I got the Asian Chicken Greens Salad that came with baby greens, mango, cucumber, red pepper, shaved onion, crispy wonton, and a miso dressing. Unfortunately, the chicken was dry and the salad had very little dressing. I also tried some of the Kobe Brunch Burger. This was much better than the salad in my opinion. It had butter lettuce, fontina cheese, avocado, tobacco onions, garlic aioli, fried egg, and apple bacon on a brioche bun with a side of herbed fries. Definitely a heartier dish! For dessert, I had the Pavlova Duo. It comes with two baked meringues, coconut and mango sorbet, passionfruit and some other berry sauce drizzle, and fresh strawberries and blackberries. This was yummy! For drinks, the Strawberry Fields cocktail can be made into a mocktail. They also have a couple of other non-alcoholic drinks available that aren't on the menu. Just ask your server!

    This restaurant in located in the Marina Pacifica plaza beside Acapulco and Nordstrom. Plenty of free parking space even on a weekend. We went without reservations, they were fully booked on a Saturday night but we were able to sit at the bar area. Their bar has plenty of seating which is facing the marina. Food selection is decent but not much options to choose from. I hope they add more items on the menu. In addition, I would say that their prices are pretty high. They have live music from Wednesday to Sunday.

    The view here is definitely the highlight beautiful waterfront scenery and such a relaxing spot. Service was wonderful friendly, attentive, and really made the experience better. Food was a bit hit or miss. The calamari was good and nicely cooked, and the Pad Thai had decent flavor, but something about the taste felt a bit off. Dessert wasn't our favorite either. Overall, great ambiance and service, but the food could be more consistent.

    Great view. Service is the worst though we still tipped. When Erma took a break, her relief came to the table once during her 30 minute break....I forgot to mention a couple got up and walked out after not being waited on.

    I have been to Tantalum in LBC many times, but its been a while. I can't believe I haven't reviewed it until now. The most recent visit was to meet some biz associates to enjoy entrees & apps. We shared calamari ($24), mussels ($23), fried rice ($30), fries ($7), and a couple of 18 oz bone-in ribeyes ($68/each) [sorry, not all items puctured]. My crew of five (including me), liked the calamari and steak & fries. The calamari was tender, the steaks were grilled medium rare, and the fries were GBD. However, the shrimp in the rice and the mussels were not fresh. Luckily, no one got sick later. Regarding the ambiance, its spacious in here. However, the amount of people seemed light on a Fri night around 6-7 pm. Our waiter Jason and the rest of the team were super nice & attentive. We received fresh plates and steak knives (we ordered a second steak later during the meal). I'd return for a good time w/ a large group. The place accommodates big parties well, and the service is really good. Nonetheless, keep in mind the food is hit & miss, and the prices are on the high side.

    Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10 Ambiance: 10/10 When I walked in the luxurious, verdant entrance of Tantalum lines with tropical plants and and sultry design elements, I thought, "SURELY the reviews are wrong! This looks like a solid fine dining establishment." I continued to be impressed as walked through the foyer and was greeted by a friendly hostess and elegant live jazz music. If my experience ended there, this would have easily been a five star visit. Unfortunately things went downhill. We've received a writer who had the most nonchalant cold demeanor I've encountered by White staff in a long time. I feel like he would be a better fit at a more high-end pretentious restaurant. He definitely didn't make me feel comfortable or valued. The food was good but not impressive, I'm afraid. It didn't taste authentic or unique. We ordered the ceviche, Miso caramelized mahi-mahi, and yakiniku calamari. The ladder was easily the best dish of the bunch, but it also reminds me of orange chicken squid. I love the flavor and the texture though! I plan to return for happy hour to see if I can appreciate the food more when I don't have to pay full price. I think the food is a Todd overprice for the quality they offer. We'll report back after my second visit.

    Tofuuuuu!

    Honestly this place gets 5 stars for location and music alone. And there food is really very tastey. From oysters to Buddha rice, the reviews are proof that it's all savory. I've been coming here for years and the establishment is starting to falter due to service. The tips must be good judging by the average cost per table, so I'm not sure why the service is becoming soo bad. It is slow, no bussing, and not very inviting. Basically a bunch of young workers stand around while you try to grab there attention. I will continue to dine here as it has an amazing date night ambience, great food, water front location, and decent drinks. However I plea with management, please watch over your servers and hosts a bit better. Slight caviette, the bussers are doing a great job.

    We recently visited to celebrate a birthday, and while the ambiance and waterfront views are absolutely gorgeous, the overall evening fell flat for us. Our main letdown was the service rhythm. After the host seated us and brought us water, we sat for at least 10 minutes and no one greeted us. I finally flagged a server down and then our server came over. When the server did arrive, they thanked us for waiting but didn't really offer an apology for the delay, and the service for the rest of the night just felt very basic, impersonal, and transactional. The host had noted the birthday at check-in, but it wasn't mentioned again by our server, which was a little disappointing for a celebration. I have worked in the service industry and even when I waitressed at a pub, we were trained to greet tables within two minutes, even if just to pop in to say hello and tell them we'd be right over. As for the food and drinks, everything was decent but didn't quite hit that standout mark we were hoping for at their price point. The fried brie with peach chutney was tasty, but just a standard good appetizer, didn't have enough chutney on top, and was served with what tasted like stale bread pieces. I was really excited to try the famous miso Mahi Mahi, and while there was nothing overtly wrong with it, it was just okay; the potatoes paired with it felt like a choice that was too heavy for the flavor of mahi mahi and made the dish feel one-note. My husband got the burger and was very underwhelmed and said he's had better burgers at much more affordable venues. My Tahitian cocktail was just okay, though my husband really loved a virgin coconut drink he ordered. I can't remember the exact name, but it was delicious. It's such a beautiful space, but after paying the $150 bill + tip, we left feeling like we should have chosen somewhere else to have celebrated. It seems they rely too heavily on their prime location and aesthetic rather than focusing on attentive service and memorable food. After sharing this in a local food group I learned that pretty much everyone who commented feels this way now about Tantalum. I guess there is new management and there are also a lot of stories of poor management, high server turnover and abuse of servers by the chef, so I will definitely not go there again.

    Another pleasant visit Love the decor and ambiance here where you step into another world Located right on the water The views are pleasant This corner location offers a pleasant spot away from the hustle Food is packed with so many flavors Beautiful colors and nicely plated

    Was meeting some friend for brunch, and had never been to Tantalum. Vibe looked great in photos, so made a reservation and to Long Beach we went! Walking in to the restaurant, just a great marina/tropical/tiki style vibe, which continues into the restaurant with views of the marina. Started with drinks in which we grabbed a couple cocktails asking with a bottle of champagne to make mimosas. Fit cocktails, the Tahitian Sunset is very flavorful but not on the alcohol level. The Asian Pear is strong, very spirit forward but you get that forgot of pear. The Bali Dream gives you a hint of banana and coconut while the Mai Tai was very good. For food, we started with the beef & chips and the calamari. The calamari comes glazed topped with sesame seeds and toasted cashews. Very good. The beef and chips is short rib sitting on a bed of duck fat fries with a white truffle cheddar sauce. You can never go wrong with duck fat fries and the short rib was cooked well. For entrees, we tried a few items. The scallops were decent though they did seen slightly overcooked. The Ulu Watu is udon noodles with sliced filet. Meat was cooked well but it felt like something was missing with the dish to really bring it all together. The bearded sorry rub was cooked well and it comes with two eggs cooked the style of your coffee. The Kobe brunch Burger is loaded with apple bacon, avocado, egg, fontina cheese and garlic aioli. You really get a taste of everything in each bite and it comes together perfectly. Overall, a restaurant with great vibes, solid cocktails and quality food. If you're on the area for brunch or lunch, probably even dinner, and want something with ambiance, so by Tantalum

    Came here for my birthday and wanted to try something different, so we picked this Asian fusion spot. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight; right by the water with stunning sunset views that make the whole experience feel special and aesthetic. The food and drinks were okay, not bad but nothing particularly memorable. Service was good and the staff took care of us throughout the visit, which I appreciated. I'd still recommend coming by, especially around sunset for the vibe alone;but overall, it didn't quite stand out enough for me to return. VERDICT: I WILL NOT COME BACK

    Salmon small mashed potatoes with sweet mustard seed sauce

    I've been noticing this restaurant tucked away in the corner and decided to give it a try. The ambience in the dining area leading out to outside seating is aesthetically pleasing. we were seated immediately. Our waitress came up right away and we placed our orders. I'll do a fancy Cadillac margarita which I forgot to take pictures of however, it was not it as I watched them make our drinks. It seemed like it was more sweet and sour than the actual contents of the drink itself however, once the waitress knew that I wasn't a big fan of the drink, she opted to correct immediately. Proportion are slightly on the smaller side and you're better off starting with appetizers because once your main course arrives, you will still find yourself hungry the steak salmon the mashed potatoes and asparagus was pretty good unfortunately they are unable to add chives and shredded cheese to the mashed potatoes. However, you just make it work with what they have. Right around six.. I could be wrong.. a 3 person band showed up and was singing different melodies so that was quite nice to add to the picturesque environment.

    Nice location bear the water with free parking. You can watch the boats go by if you sit outside. They have umbrellas so it was nice and breezy to sit outside. Food is average but over priced. It seems the prices went up $10 to $20 per dish in the last few years. My friend & i ordered a wedge salad, brussel sprouts, calamari, & hummus with pita bread. The total after tax and tip was over $100. Too pricey for a light brunch for two people. Wait staff was friendly as well as the receptionists.

    This place is honestly a joke…read more We waited in line for almost 2 hours while security kept people outside for no reason -- and when we finally got in, there was so much open space inside. It wasn't even close to full. They're clearly holding people outside on purpose to create fake hype, which is honestly pretty messed up. You're telling me dozens of people are stuck waiting forever while there's plenty of room inside? It's giving manufactured crowd and poor management. To make it worse, they stopped serving drinks and turned the lights on at 1:15 AM, way earlier than literally any normal bar. So after wasting hours in line, you barely even get time inside. And it somehow gets worse -- at 1:35 AM they were literally kicking people out of the restroom. We weren't even allowed to finish or wash our hands before being rushed out. That's not just rude, it's straight up unhygienic and disrespectful. Overall, completely overhyped, disorganized, and not worth the wait at all. Don't fall for the line -- it's fake.

    This review is only for their salsa/bachata dancing night and the bar…read more The bungalow has weekly salsa/bachata nights that include free dance lessons from 8 to 9:30. The instructors are great and the crowd is fun diverse (in terms of age, background, and experience dancing). The djs are also awesome play a lot of good music. The vibe is fun and high energy. It's nice to see a place that is filled with dancers of all skill levels just having fun and learning to dance. The venue itself is beautiful. They have a large open air dance floor that overlooks the marina as well as a smaller dance area inside near the pool tables. The decore is classy and elegant overall. On salsa nights they have drink specials in addition to the regular drink menu. Lastly I once lost my key fob there and someone returned it to their lost and found. I'm forever grateful to whomever returned it and the staff at the front door / lost and found. Overall it's an awesome place to come out and hang out and dance.

    The cocktails here are always so creative but what really impressed me is that they're actually…read moregood Drinks with interesting flavors lately often end up tasting gimmicky, artificial, or just... off. Here you can actually taste the ingredients they describe and somehow work really well together. And it's not just one or two drinks that feel unique and interesting it's basically their whole menu. Most recent time we went was when they had a guest bartender (Polo Chang). Some of the best cocktails I've had recently. I'm a huge fan of tea in cocktail his menu was amazing. We got way more drinks than we usually do that night because each one was better than the last. Only thing tho I really wish they kept their old menu. The drawings were beautiful and it had so much character while very easily communicating how each drink will look and taste. It went so well with the overall vibe of the place. But I may just be nitpicking because I have hard time reading the new dark menu in the dim light lolol I honestly would come here wayyyy more often if it wasn't for the very limited parking. Even with reservation it feels like never a guarantee we will make it there because we may or may not be able to find parking. If you are lucky to be nearby highly recommend uber.

    This was my first time at this establishment, and I have very mixed feelings about the experience…read more The food was very good and the drinks were creative, but I really wish the service had been better. We sat at the bar, and I expected to receive service from the bartender, but he didn't acknowledge us for the entire night. Instead, our server took our order. After a while, she informed us that the crispy rice we ordered was sold out. She mentioned that the bartender was supposed to let us know, but he never did. What made the experience more uncomfortable was that the bartender seemed to be giving most of his attention to the Caucasian customers on the other side of the bar. We were the only Asian customers there, and unfortunately, this left us feeling like we were being treated differently because of our race. The good food and drinks helped compensate for the poor service, so we decided not to let it ruin our evening. However, things got even more disappointing at the end. After I paid, I noticed that I had been charged for the crispy rice even though we never received it. When our server tried to address the issue, the bartender appeared to ignore both her and us, so we eventually left. I hope management sees this review and reaches out to me to address the overcharge and the overall experience. Overall, although the food and drinks were good, the service and the way we were treated left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

    So this is a review that's been a *long* time coming (I've just been chronically overwhelmed for an…read moreequally long time.) I haven't been here often, but I *was* here right around when they opened, wherein I determined that the food ranged from quality but a bit overpriced, to just overpriced, a feeling I would still hold, generally speaking. Great vibe, solid service, but maybe a little pretentiously priced (and/or it's just stupid expensive to run a restaurant in this area, granted.) And with *super* pretentiously-priced cocktails, for how relatively simple they mostly are (if I'm gonna spend $18+ plus tip on a drink, I expect Baby Gee-level cocktails.) They also had an impressive wall of craft beer on tap, but also a bit pricey, especially compared to places not on 2nd street, so there was never a particular *draw*. But then I never actually finished reviewing it, because I'm super behind. Anyway, then also not particularly recently, they launched a happy hour, which at the time, especially for this particular part of Long Beach, was pretty stupidly good, with $5 decent sized smashburgers (6 with cheese, 10 with cheese and also fries), as well as $5 craft beer, pretty much all of them, including the fancy, exciting stuff (exciting if you're a nerd like me, the barrel aged stuff, for instance). They also had one specific half hour at the time, which I'd like to immortalize as a super fun idea, where one specific cheap but craft beer was some stupid price, I think like a dollar, but since they had a whole wall of rotating craft beer, a *different* specific cheap craft beer any given day. That's not relevant at all to my current review, but it was fun. Anyway, I still didn't write a review like a year ago when I took advantage of that happy hour, though I did take advantage of it a solid couple of times. Skip forward again to just a few weeks ago, I happened to be attending an event in the general area again, an event that was going to involve more alcohol than food and for which having a happy-hour-timed dinner in the area was going to be useful, so I figured I'd check out whether the happy hour was still there, and it was. At least as of a few weeks ago, the happy hour (3-6 weekdays) was still a thing, and it had gone up a whopping 55 cents per item. Ends up being effectively ~$17 plus tip for a quality smashburger, quality fries and a craft beer, though they didn't have as *many* of the fancy (barrel-aged or equivalent) stuff as they had the first time, they did still have some, and it was still $5.55 for any beer on draft they had. So happy hour wise, that's a pretty good price for this part of the country, I'd say. Obviously only since the burgers and fries *are* also absolutely quality burgers and fries. Not quite as wonderful as my gold standard smashburger at The Stache, perhaps, but still a great smashburger. My opinion on spending almost 20 bucks for what is effectively still just an old fashioned, hasn't changed, though. :p

    My wife, son, and I had an absolutely amazing lunch here, and I can honestly say this is one of…read morethose restaurants where we were already talking about coming back before we even finished our meal! It was hot outside so we asked to be seated next to the windows, which were open allowing us to remain cool and feel the ocean breeze. We started with the Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, Spanish Albóndigas, and Pan con Tomate with chorizo butter. Everything was delicious, but the Pan con Tomate with that chorizo butter was incredible. Such a simple dish, but packed with flavor. We paired everything with the Teleferic Sangria, which was refreshing, not overly sweet, and went perfectly with the tapas. For my entree, I ordered the Wagyu Ribeye Chuletón, fire-grilled asador style and served with patatas and piquillo peppers. I love a good steak and usually order mine somewhere between medium-rare and medium, so getting the temperature right is a big deal for me. They absolutely nailed it. The steak was perfectly cooked, incredibly tender and juicy, with a great char and tons of flavor from the grill. Not much else you can ask for from a ribeye! My wife ordered the chicken kebab with sofrito hummus, and that was another winner. The chicken was tender, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor, and the sofrito hummus was a great complement to the dish. Overall, we had an amazing experience. Great Spanish food, great sangria, and most importantly, everything we ordered delivered. There wasn't a single dish we wouldn't order again. Big shout out to our server, Justin, who was fantastic and very attentive. We will absolutely be back!

    Lets start with the positive. The place is beautifully decorated, the ambiance is wonderful and…read morethe music is on point. That said, I regrettably must give my personal experience here a 1 star. When we were seated our Waiter appeared disengaged and in a hurry to get us ordering. He was incredibly unfriendly as well. At first, I thought it was my imagination my my party also noticed and commented on his attitude. We placed our order for drinks and he didn't even crack a smile. The drinks came back, mine was ok but one of the drinks in the part wasn't and we asked the waiter if could change it. He was so rude and made us feel so uncomfortable. The replacement cocktail was much better. Next, the meal: while we asked for recommendations becuase it was our first time the waiter failed to adequately describe the various dishes we inquired about. We took our chances and ordered the Patatas bravas, which were the highlight of the meal. next, we had the paella and it was not good. the rice was hard (Undercooked) and felt more burnt then anything else. The meat was over cooked...specifically the roasted pork. However, the pork belly was cooked correctly. we ordered the shrimp, which was not deveined and really had little to no flavor (Very surprising.) We were never checked on by our wait during our meal. Our water glasses were never refilled until just before the check and we were never asked if we wanted a second drink. There were a few more small inconveniences as well but I won't mention them...it just added to the overall disappointment. all in all, the meal was lackluster. I really wanted to like the food...I honestly tried hard to overlook certain things about the evening but in the end, it didn't feel like we were in Spain or eating real Spanish tapas & Pallela. Instead it felt like an American interpretation of Spanish food.

The eggs were fresh, the sausage was flavorful, and the homemade fries were crispy and delicious. I also added a side of their crispy bacon, which was definitely worth it -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing since I got there right when they opened, which made it even more enjoyable. It's a smaller spot, but cozy, with both indoor and outdoor dining options. Overall, it was a great breakfast experience and I would definitely come back again.

In the summer when I'm in Seal for two months I go every Sunday for brunch. It is fabulous. I was looking forward to my last Sunday about a month ago, the day before I was headed back home. I arrived at my usual time about 15 minutes before brunch is scheduled and advertised to end. The bartender, who is not my usual server, informed me that I could not order brunch. When I politely inquired as to why, since the time had not expired for brunch, she condescendingly told me that since I don't work at a restaurant, I wouldn't know that the kitchen shuts down before the actual time. I noticed that the owner didn't happen to be there that Sunday as he usually is. We left.
