    My friends and I had such a good time here! We came on a Friday afternoon but a few of us came early to grab a table around 7/7:30 to get some drinks and food. I'm so glad we did because it was shoulder to shoulder by the time 9 came around and the line to get in was extremely long. I was obsessed with their fries! I almost ate the whole plate by myself. I also really enjoyed the drink "What a Prick" and their Espresso Martini which I believe goes by a different name on the menu but it was really tasty. The wings were just okay and didn't really have a ton of flavor but I don't think most people come for the food anyways. Just as a heads up, there is a possibility that a group could reserve your table at anytime. So if you want to keep the table, you'll need to buy it or be prepared to get booted in case another party decides to purchase it first. 4 stars for the wings and just the crowd was a lot in my opinion. If I didn't have a table and had to walk around I'm not sure how people would actually dance or lounge (at least in the outdoor area) but I had such a fun time here! The DJ was playing great music, it felt age appropriate (20s to mid-30s) and overall it had a great vibe. I'll need to try them out on a Sunday :)

    Every time I go to the Bungalow it's a great time! My friends and I got there early in the evening on a Friday around 7:30pm. It was perfect because it was no line to get in and we could find a seat and order food and drinks. The waitress we had was very nice and attentive. We got appetizers for the table including fries and spicy wings. Both were pretty tasty! Around 9pm it gets extremely crowded. The DJ starts to play and it turns into a club vibe. Highly recommend getting there early to find a seat but keep in mind if someone buys a table you may have to move. It was a great time!

    BEWARE OF RIPOFF!!!!!! I went on a Saturday night with 4 friends. The place is nice and the ambiance is cool which earned it a an extra star. BUT the bartenders are scammers. I had a gratuity already added on to my drink receipt and then they gave me a receipt to give them an EXTRA tip. If I didn't look closely I would've gave even more. They are ready to prey on drunk patrons. If they see you drunk they will take advantage I was observing them. On another occasion, they said 2 vodka redbulls was $30. Another bartender said 3 vodka redbulls was $36, doesn't add up! ALSO- do not pay cash at the bar they will not give you a receipt and you won't even know how much you paid. Shame on management for allowing bartenders to take advantage of people!!

    My friends and I had a great this at this restaurant. We arrived early so I feel like our experience was different than what the other reviews may be but I would absolutely come back. My friends and I came to the Bungalow around 6 pm and were able to get a table overlooking the pier. We were able to park across the street and had no issues finding a spot. This place has a homey vibe to get it and I appreciated the different rooms and spaces people could occupy. The music was great and we didn't feel at all cramped in the space. Food and drinks were great! I ordered the sangria which was delicious and my friend got the pigs in the blanket. The only negative was that there was glass on the floor near our seating area. They had no issue cleaning it up but it was definitely a hazard. This place is great and if people visiting wouldn't mistreat it, that would make it even better.

    Great place to hangout with friends. Its more of a bar and lounge, rather than a restaurant, though they have decent food too. We went on a Saturday evening with friends. There are many different places to sit and chill. The decor is beautiful. We opted for the patio and watched the sunset over the bay. The DJ was cool and did a great playlist. She even played a few oldies at my request. The staff are friendly and helpful. We left at 8 pm, before it got super crowded. I would definitely recommend as one of the best places of it's kind in the area and definitely better than the HB or SM location.

    Great spot to hang out and decent food.. good vibes. But don't ever give them your email.. you will get an email EVERY SINGLE DAY as an assault on your inbox. It's excessive and a turn off. #unsubscribe

    Checked out Sunday GOLDEN HOUR * they got rid of their regular kitchen menu. They have pretty much bar food choices, but quite a few items to choose from. Music was hittin', crowd eventually multiplied as the day went, service & staff are friendly & accommodating; RSVP to get a table! Exiting/paying the ticket was a hassle!!

    I've never had a bad experience! Security will check you at the door. i've been able to sit anywhere (that's not reserved) but honestly theres no bad seat in the house. the setting is beautiful, beach vibes like some house conversion that makes you feel homie yet almost at the club LOL food and drinks are pretty good, staff has been friendly

    I usually go to the Huntington Beach location but I was pleasantly surprised to how much nicer this location was. Not only was it bigger, but the crowd seemed more open to having fun. There was also three different bars so not everyone is crowding and the lines go faster. The tequila they offer, however, is just as bad as the other location. The DJ is also somehow worse than the one in Huntington Beach, and I didn't think that was possible. We didn't let that stop us from having fun and we had a great time.

    Chicken wings with no sauce

    Food, service, and ambiance were great! We ordered the chicken wings with buffalo sauce on the side and ranch. The ice cream sandwich was incredible and there were three ice cream and cookie flavors to choose from. It was a very mixed-age crowd for a Friday night but they have a DJ and several bars in each room, which makes it feel like a large beach house party.

    so funny that it's within a shopping centre/ mall lolol i think i did like the vibes of this location more than huntington beach (more chill) because it was energetic and crazylitmovie :P

    Karen G.

    I definitely prefer the vibe here over the Huntington Beach location, especially at night the mood just hits different. Drinks are decent, nothing mind blowing. Service could be better though felt like I had to get their attention a few times. Came on a Thursday night and most of the servers were hanging around the bar instead of checking tables.

    ALTER EGO wasn't even on my radar until tonight, and now I'm wondering how on earth did I miss this…read morelittle slice of date‑night gold? HELLOW! This hidden gem lives inside the newly renovated Fairmont Breakers in Long Beach, and for all my Fairmont regulars: relax, you're in good hands, their world-renowned elegance remains intact. PARKING Valet is only $10, which in Southern California basically qualifies as a love language. (Note to Fairmont Breakers Management: Listen up, my friends! Please keep it that way, gas is $5.97/gallon and my wallet is already in therapy.) I handed the valet a $5 tip before I even stepped out of my car, just so I could glide into the lobby feeling like a full‑blown princess making her grand entrance. Before you leave, you simply pay the valet in cash or card and they'll have your car right there before you can even blink. AMBIANCE Walk in and boom! A towering, beautifully decorated Christmas tree greets you like it's auditioning for a holiday movie. Check out my photos; the whole lobby whispers one word: sophisticated. Oooh, I love that tree! Hang a right, stroll to the end of the hall, and you'll find ALTER EGO, a dark, cozy lounge that feels like the perfect hideaway for a date where you actually want to hear each other talk. Live music starts at 7 PM, the bar closes at 10, and honestly... that's ideal for those of us over 50 who consider 10 PM the witching hour for pajamas. Rob Fontana was performing tonight, and his music was so good I found myself time‑traveling back to the good old days. Every song hit, Rob. Good job! SERVICE Our server, Nia, was a star. Attentive, sharp memory, and smooth service all the way through. Zero notes. FOOD The menu is small, so if you show up ravenous, pace yourself or plan to Uber home after a cocktail‑heavy evening. I'm allergic to cheese, so I had to double‑check ingredients, but the Mushroom Flatbread was outstanding, flavor was superb and the best part was they did not skimp on the mushrooms! A+ for that. I also tried the Prosciutto di Parma with melon, which is a strange combo for a California girl... but hey, I never said I wasn't a weirdo. Drinks are not my thing since I enjoy company without alcohol's help, so I can't help you with that. DATE‑WORTHY OR NOT? Absolutely. Alter Ego gets a double thumbs‑up from me and a strong recommendation for your next Silver Singles date. It's easy to find, the seating is comfortable (even for those of us with backs that like to complain), and they even offer tube pillows for extra support. Tell me that's not romance.

    Went there for girlfriend time! Nice ambiance…read more I ordered the mushroom flatbread and thy used the nice mushrooms,not the white button mushrooms. Service was good, we had a great server. The only thing I wish is they have a little bigger menu.

What a beautiful surprise, as we stepped inside of this gorgeous restaurant! The entrance and winding path easily had me at hello! Miso Greens Salad | I'm a salad girl and this is definitely a memorable bite! Between the juicy slices of mango, crispy wontons strips, red pepper, tangy miso dressing and more... I was craving each bite one after the other with the quickness! Haha! Every single bite and I'm not kidding, was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor, & mouth watering! I would 100% get the salad again and highly recommend it! Decor | Beautiful! What a stunning restaurant! I found myself looking around constantly!The lighting, presence of Buddhas sprinkled throughout, cozy seating with colorful pillows, wood interior, the colorful lighting... and don't even get me started on the gorgeous waterfront views! Tantalum easily transports your senses to Indonesia via food and atmosphere! I'm all for it and loved every moment of it! Customer Service | Irma was incredibly friendly and helpful with the menu! Thanks again for helping me decide between the heirloom tomato salad and the miso green salad; tried something new! Overall | Yes, please! If a single salad was so memorable, I can only imagine a full meal! I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu on my next visit! Let's go!

    As a long time patron, I had to give them another chance after the bloodbath of mothers day…read more It was a Monday, so probably not a fair comparison, but service was excellent and so was most of the food. We overtipped, to probably compensate for our last visit. However, the new kitchen manager has clearly changed the calamari (10/10 before, 3/10 now, to the point I felt embarrassed that I'd waxed poetic about it to my out of town guests, who didn't have more than a few pieces, and the ones I ate were just to kind of toe a line), and this is pedantic, but sesame buns for the sliders was a weird choice. So they're no longer on my shitlist, but I do think I'm going to need to try different go-tos. I'm almost scared to try the tuna tartare (my other go to) after the change in the calamari and sliders. I really so desperately urge management to bring back the former chef, because the current one really seems to expending the least effort possible. And for the record, there was a "specials" slip left on our table, with one of the items noted as "sold out." On a Monday, by 5p. Something is going wrong here. I'm going to try yet again, but the changes that have thus far been made absolutely suck. Ambiance still a 10/10.

    False Advertising and Total Failure of a "Speakeasy"…read more This place should not call itself a speakeasy. According to their website, they are strict about dress code, reservations, and no large parties. None of that was enforced. People arrived wearing sports clothes, tennis shoes, and flip-flops, and a group of more than 10 people was allowed in. That group was loud, drunk, and screaming, completely destroying any speakeasy ambiance. We had a reservation booked one week in advance for 2 tables of six, yet by 8:30 pm, we were told no food was available, despite the bar being almost empty. The water was already on the table when we arrived and tasted strongly of chlorine, with no ice. The waitress was clearly new, untrained, and unprepared. She did not know the menu, didn't know how to take an order properly, and provided no guidance whatsoever. There was one bartender Ricardo, who took over an hour to prepare cocktails and showed no sense of urgency or care. The dramatic cocktail descriptions sounded impressive, but the drinks did not match the descriptions at all. Because of the delays, we were never even able to properly toast or celebrate our friend. The charcuterie board took forever and arrived with an absurd amount of cheese and only six pieces of bread. To make things worse, part of the food we ordered never arrived at all. The live jazz band advertised and promised never showed up. When asked, the staff responded with: "I don't know, they were supposed to be here. I don't have their phone number." That level of disorganization is unacceptable. At the end of the night, we were shocked to receive a check close to $600 for two tables, despite each person only having one cocktail and shared food. The bartender, Ricardo, approached us and said: "Well, sorry, we really tried tonight! It wasn't the best, but we tried." Honestly, that comment made the experience even more frustrating. I can't imagine how bad it would have been if they hadn't "tried."That statement perfectly summarizes the problem -- trying is not enough when everything fails. I would not recommend this place for a speakeasy experience. This is not a speakeasy. It's a poorly run bar hiding behind a concept it does not deliver. Do not recommend.
