    Sooooooo about lunch... you know how you're writing something and too many calls are coming in--…read moreyou get sidetracked -so I really meant to write this sooner (no lies here), but when I tell you the service was 10/10, you've got to come visit. My sister and I visited this past --our walnut salad was fresh, the Riesling hit perfectly, and the calamari came out with that golden crunch to die for. But our server... all we could say was Steve, Steve, Steve!!!! He took the cake! Talk about impeccable service and making you feel genuinely welcomed--that's an understatement. This was my second time here, and I've gotta say, I think this has officially become one of my all-time favorites. Downtown Long Beach has always had such a fun, foodie-filled atmosphere. I know some restaurants are struggling, but it's because they didn't have the same atmosphere & service. The food is great, but what really stands out to me are the PEOPLE. Even the servers who weren't serving our table intentionally, smiled, and said hello as they passed. I even remembered one of the servers from my last visit and her sister because they both have some of the most inviting personalities ever. That says a lot about the culture of a restaurant. We also had the opportunity to meet the new GM, which was another nice touch. Great food. Great ambience. GREAT people. And Steve,,,you're the best! 10/10. We'll definitely be back. Oh and to little sisters-- remember that big sister's rule.

    Food Spicy seafood…read morechowder - A very average soup for $11. Macademia nut halibut - This was recommended by the waiter and was a completely meh dish that costs $44. There's no macademia flavor, if you blind tasted it you would be shocked that there is any at all. It comes with an orange ginger sauce that literally had no orange or ginger notes either. The corn was the best part of the meal? It was really good. Service Fine, a little slow. I got a fistbump? Ambiance Nice restaurant that is too loud

    Easily obsessed with this place now. We've only gone once, but we love it…read more We were heading back to LA from doing something in Long Beach, and wanted to stop and have a drink somewhere quick. 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!

    Thought this restaurant would be perfect for my wife's birthday…read more Ambiance upon entering was good. Hosting staff was very nice. We had a 7pm reservation on the rooftop. The upstairs host Kori was amazing. She was bubbly, kind and super helpful. Now to our waitress, there was a bit to be desired there. My wife felt like with each thing she asked for she was bothering her. ( I will omit her name out of kindness, she may have been dealing with something personal and having a bad day. ) Now to the food. The Drinks, my wife's Paloma was delicious. I had a Makers 46 neat. Very basic whiskey selections but it was good. Our appetizer, the Artichoke dip came out to us tepid after 20 minutes of waiting for it and the chips borderline stale. I had the Bo Burger, the pork belly and aioli carried it. Fries were ok. My wife had chicken milanese it was fantastic, she just had to request extra sauce. Coke Zeros were flat, we sent them back. So my wife had a Proseco and she enjoyed that. Upon putting in the reservation I stated it was my wife's birthday, Kori even asked we told her and I'm pretty sure it was relayed to the serve who said nothing and didn't inquire whether we wanted dessert or offer anything. My wife asked for a box, she put the box on the table and walked away. We had to ask a busser for a bag and a cup for her sauce. He was very sweet, he filled our waters and asked if we needed anything else. The restaurant charges a 5% fee for the team, you can decline it. We didn't. I even still gave the server a respectable tip. Sadly she could have received twice as much because I used to serve when I was much younger. My wife is a Dorector in the Hospitality industry and she loves giving extra. I understand the struggle but if she was as charismatic as Kori she could make more and really add to the restaurant. Needless to say we will not make the hour and 15 minute drive again.

    It is a fish market and the lines are long but it goes fast…read more We ordered the fish, scallop and shrimp plate with fries. All of this was fried and the fish is red snapper. Also the Mahi Mahi and grilled shrimp plate with rice. Absolutely delicious. And the dungeness crab. Yum! Also if you want a hammer for the crab, it's a $2 deposit. They refund you after you return it. Obviously had to get the clam chowder in a bread bowl. Absolutely worth it. All of this cost $130. Mostly cuz of the crab at 29.99/lb. Bread bowls were $16 (we ordered 2) And the plates were less than $25 each. Plenty of seating around.

    If you're planning to come here and try this place after watching a YouTuber. Don't do it, they got…read morepaid to say nice things, you pay to taste bland mediocre overpriced foods. Went on Sunday for a quick brunch. Ordered grilled halibut plate, wife ordered fish and scallops, topped it off with a clam chowder and two sodas. Total came out to be around 65$. Fish was just grilled with a ton of oil on the same griddle as everything else, seasoning consists of old bay and that is it. Bland, old bay seasoning. Fish and chip was bland, no flavor. Clam chowder had minimal clams and mainly thick soup base. So unless you think those YouTubers are coming there to say nice things, edit the video, and then post it so they can make content money. Don't waste your time and money.

    Here to celebrate one of my diamond girls birthday. We had a party of over 16, and I made…read morereservations, but they did require a $100 deposit. They only require that deposit if you have a large party. Oh, I forget to mention that there is plenty of FREE parking. We order a little bit of everything. We also ordered a bottle of champagne with three different juices for mimosas. It was $19, and four of us shared it. It's a great value compared to $6 for a glass. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the beach outside was breathtaking. Everything was delicious, and a very special thank you to our server Brandon. I definitely cannot wait to come back with my husband.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm for a late lunch/early dinner and left with a bad…read moretaste in my mouth. Not literally, the food was good but the service was lacking. When our server arrived to take our drink order, instead of introducing herself and asking what drinks we would like to start with, she simply stood there and blinked a couple of times without speaking a word. It was so awkward for those first few seconds that I almost wanted to introduce mySELF and ask how I could help HER. You can't make this shit up lmao. Anyways, we started with some calamari which came out fine but there were no utensils or small plates or even a napkin to cry into, so we just stared at the calamari for a bit wondering who would be the first one to pick at it with their hands like some uncultured swine. She eventually returned and we asked for some cutlery. Overall the experience took away from the enjoyment of the food and the nice outdoor atmosphere by the water. Our particular server was inefficient and awkward. Hoping she improves her service!
