    Sliders and Buffalo Wings.

    The Eldo wasn't my pick for HH. Being in walking distance is a bonus. $2 off appetizers, nothing to write home about. What we had was good. The service, good. The ladies bathroom was like a dive bar. I get why after Covid, they only open until 4.

    RIBEYE!!! If you are looking for one look no further! They have a nearly 30 day dry aged ribeye and all I have to say is WOW! Blows me away every time! They have the typical salt and pepper at the table and they also elevate the experience by offering "gunpowder" seasoning which is their own blend! AND their own recipe of ketchup. I literally use the gunpowder seasoning in my whole plate (Don't get the ribeye if you aren't a fan or rich marbling) Service is typically very fast and attentive... they work in a very pro dominate "team style" literally so many different faces per meal and everyone helps each other it's actually nice to see! The inside is darker and they have a lot of tv's if you want to watch sports... they have a full bar and amazing diverse selection of food. The patio has some of the most unique art pieces for decorating to give you a whimsical and tropical feel!

    The Eldo will always be an epic local go-to and a must-visit for anyone who's never been. They have a great drink menu, and the vibe is dimly lit with a cozy atmosphere, but still very family-friendly. I personally love their Beef Wellington, pork chops, and their zucchini (which is amazing), along with their ranch... honestly, all of their sauces are so good. The only bummer is they used to have the most amazing chicken strips--my friends and I would literally drive miles just for them--but the new ownership changed them. :( The service can typically be a little slow, probably because they're almost always busy, and they could definitely use more parking. That said, I still love this place, and it never fails that I run into old friends every time I'm there. :)

    First time visiting to celebrate a birthday, and the restaurant was much bigger than I expected. Parking is pretty limited -- your options are either the small lot, a darker area behind the building, or nearby residential streets. The portions are HUGE! We ordered appetizers, and about 10 minutes later our entrees came out too, which felt a bit rushed. There was so much food that we couldn't even finish half of it. I ordered the salmon pesto and absolutely loved it -- tons of flavor and really delicious. For dessert, we had the butter cake, and it was amazing. Overall, I'd recommend giving this place a try. I'd definitely come back to sample more dishes.

    I passed this place for years. Finally tried this place out with reservations. This place gets really packed. Parking can be difficult to find, pending on the hours you arrive. Parking is tight, meaning if you have a large truck it can pose a problem to fit in the tight spaces that are provided. Checked in with the front host. Wait time was 15 minutes. We were greeted and seated at our tables. The ambiance was very nice. Since this is a South Africa establishment, you had some type of sense you were in the Saraha. Ordered drinks of Beer and cocktails. Delivered to us in 5 minutes. Prompt service! Ordered Beef Straganov and Beef Pot Pie. Entrees did not dissapoint! All was fresh and delicous. The portion size were very large! You get what you pay for at this restaurant! Big Kudos to Aiden! He was a fantastic server. Great customer service. He always checked up on us. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be back. My to go spot for now on. Great food and Service! Large establishment.

    Shrimp Au Gratin
    Sally W.

    The Eldo has a super fun and casual vibe. Their menu really does have something for every palate, making it a great place to gather with friends, family, and more. It gets pretty loud because of the crowds, but it's still a nice and fun ambiance. My friend and I tried the Shrimp au Gratin, and it was amazing!! I would definitely get this appetizer again. For the main, we shared the ribeye after all the rave reviews. It was a very good steak, and the onion rings were amazing! The veggies were nothing to write home about, but we figured we better get some veggies in. We also tried the Malva Butter Cake, and it was HUGE. Delicious, and would've loved even more of the drizzle. They do take reservations. Also, they have big screen TVs for the various games. Can't wait to come back!

    Creamy chicken pesto
    Sophia K.

    Okay long overdue review. We went here for Valentine's dinner. Originally we had their signature steak in kind. But we saw the pasta menu, and quickly changed our minds. It did not disappoint! I got the creamy chicken pesto and he got the short rib gnocchi. Both were absolutely delicious. It's quite a popular local spot. Parking lot is small but there's plenty of street parking in the neighborhood. We'll definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu!

    I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! so my wife and I had a family day in Long Beach aquarium. Unfortunately, they had a power outage. So we were going around trying to find a place where we can just have some drinks and relax and decompress. I've been disappointed since the pandemic with every place we've been to. Unfortunately, we live in Santa Monica. This place is in Long Beach. This is my new local place. Keley is fabulous. She's a bartender there Dan near seven days a week. The drinks spectacular. We ordered the shrimp linguine amazing creamy Rich decadence. I have a new is that I need to drive an hour just to get decent service with a smile. You will not be disappointed. I'm hoping my wife and I can come here at least once or twice a month for date night. Just wanted to say once again, thank you kelly thank you to the staff. You guys are incredible.

    We walked in without reservation and they make us sit right away on a Saturday night. Place was happening, ambiance was chill and everyone was in their own element. They got cool outside patio too. Food was simply delicious. We tried Mediterranean Salmon, lamb shank, and Malta butter cake for dessert and everything was great. All dishes tasted delicious and was made it to its perfection. Really love this place and we will be coming back soon.

    Barbie loves her salmon. Great piece of fish.

    Love you all - brought guest in for the Rib Eye- but the reservation I put in with open table - wasn't there. Had it on my phone- oh well. Shendoah at the Arbor got us in. Next time I hope.

Clean bathroom, gender & family friendly, changing table, essential oils, hands-free flush. Lots of memorabilia showing women in all sports. Food: Ordered a BIGYAY drink by Leisha Hailey & Kate Moenig from the original series "The L Word". And a BLT. Sandwich delicious! Crispy bacon, nervous about lettuce but I trust God lol. Diversity score 1-5: 1.5 Need pics of women's Negro Baseball team and other Black women athletes. Excluding the efforts, successes, and accomplishments of Black Women in sports negates all effort to be diverse. Environment: nice, chill, great sports bar vibe! Needs more marketing to really bring in the women as the place is a bit male heavy (although not suggesting to exclude them) but if it's owned by women, meant for lgbtq+ women, they need to do more leg work to draw in that population, especially Black women, especially the Black lgbtq+ diaspora of women, femmes, masc etc. Unless it's intentionally not meant for us. In that case, keep doing what you're doing. Message me for consultating if you'd like to tap into that market. Go again score 1-5: 2.75 When I walk into a space I want to see me reflected in the space and staffing. With those updates I'd definitely come again...especially during a beautiful day with major sports events happening. Just hope to see some of my people there!

My son was very hungry and so he decided to trust them and ate most of the rice cup. He started feeling sick within minutes and went up a fourth time to ask them. At that point, the employee asked the cook who informed them that butter was used. My son had been dealing with health issues the last two days due to his severe allergy.

What was most disappointing happened at the end. The waitress who had originally seated us actually mocked my friend when he said the wait time was ridiculous. She laughed and repeated the word "ridiculous" in a sarcastic way instead of addressing our concerns. It was incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful.
