    Crab sliders.

    I've been here multiple times for lunch and drinks. Kind of an odd location by airport and offices. Space is bright, airy and clean but not super huge. Service is ok, could be faster but I've never had any negative experience. The cocktails are phenomenal. I can't stress enough. Totally under the radar place for drinks. If only they were open on the weekends for some day-drinking. Food is great, however I don't care for the charcuterie board; it feels very grocery store-ish. I enjoy the turkey sandwich, Cesar salad and the soups. I also love the rotating specials they have. Everything is very fresh and simple. Great for a nice lunch with healthy options but also burger and fries if you want to indulge a bit. Aldo, house made potato chips are fantastic! Tons of parking and a cute little patio is a plus.

    Cute spot on the 1st floor of an office building. Stopped by for a quick lunch with my friend and the food was decent. The Italian sandwich highlight was the soft bread and balsamic glaze. The chips were ok. Not as crispy as I would have liked. The bolognese was very cheesy without much sauce but good. Portions were on the lighter side so perfect for those on a diet haha. The lavender lemonade didn't really have much lavender flavor. It wasn't too sweet which was good. Overall the atmosphere is quaint and perfect for drinks. The cocktail menu looks delish.

    Amazing food served by some of the friendliest people in Long Beach. Great for a weekday break. I can see this as a perfect spot for a business lunch. Extensive menu of fine cocktails. Cute decorations. Don't skip on the tomato soup!

    Hidden Gem! Excellent food with personable service! The hummus plate was delicious and the Chilaquiles was the best I have ever had. Their cocktail list also looks very tasty and they have my favorite Bourbon! I had just flown in for a meeting and was blown away by this place! Highly recommend!

    Great service and nice ambiance. I wish I knew the waitress' name so I could give her a shout out. They had a dog friendly patio and they brought out water for my friend's pups I had the endive shrimp salad which was good, but it was a very light meal. Easy parking in the front This seems like a great place to get some work done or have a business meal/meeting It's literally a hidden gem

    Lavender Lemon Drop
    Dena T.

    Came here one Friday after work with several co workers. Small restaurant with ample parking. Small and intimate restaurant. Modern decor is nice. Service and food was even better. For drinks, I ordered their Lavender Lemon Drop. It was very good and actually refreshing. My colleague mentioned they make their own lavender (don't quote me on that) and it definitely is good and refreshing. They have a lavender lemonade which I plan on ordering when opting for a non alcohol drink. For food, we ordered appetizers for the table: hummus, pepperoni and sausage flat bread [probably the best flat bread I ever had and it was devoured before I took a picture], chicken lettuces wraps, and spinach and artichoke dip. Everything was good! Service, food, and ambiance was on point. Would definitely return.

It's located in Bixby Knolls, surrounded by coffee shops, restaurants, bars and breweries, yet it's the only true wine bar right there. Honestly, Long Beach has more wine bars than most surrounding areas, and since the South Bay is packed with breweries, if you're tired of beer this is your sign to switch it up. You will not regret it. The food menu has cheese boards, salads and sandwiches, and everything I've had here has been delicious. The cheese boards are better than sex. There is seating indoors and outdoors. It's minimal, but somehow we always manage to find a table. The service is consistently great and the owner is wonderful. She will be leaving soon and she will absolutely be missed, but what she has built here will definitely be cherished. The new owners fell in love with the place, so you can expect it to be well taken care of and to remain just as charming. Parking is street only, so read the signs carefully so you don't end up with a ticket. If you go on a Sunday there are no restrictions or time limits, which makes it even better.

At first we were a little unsure, but the food quickly won us over. Buvons feels more like a cozy wine bar than a traditional restaurant, but that's part of its charm. The seasonal menu (which I think rotates monthly) offered some really thoughtful dishes. The asparagus was excellent, but the mussels were the star of the night. We could smell the curry broth coming from the kitchen before they arrived and immediately knew we had made the right choice. Served with frites for dipping, it was one of those simple, satisfying dishes that you keep thinking about afterward They were also streaming the Korea match and thoughtfully seated us near the projector, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Located off the fun Retro Row on Fourth St. with the last Friday event happening, we noticed a good amount of people walking in and there was a security guard out front. The crowd was lively so it must be good. First off, I was totally surprised about this place. It's a pretty nice spot. There's the main bar right along one wall that offered both wine and beer. There was also a corner that hosted a live band. When we arrived, no one was playing yet. The crowd seemed to be more of the younger hipster vibe. A completely different crowd from the LA scenes. Getting a drink wasn't that bad even though it was busy. I happened to get lucky when someone moved from the bar stool for me to approach. I was a little surprised when the wine I ordered was in a box...lol... I mean, it was whatever. Some options were for a glass only or for both a glass or bottle. But when it came to checking out, tipping options went from 20 25 percent to 30 percent. Wasn't used to that as an option as it's not like you're dinning in. Anyway, the surprise was when we walked out and seen that they had a massive back patio. It was hard finding a seat as it was packed. There was also a food trunk on deck but wasn't sure what they were serving. We noticed people with hotdogs and someone with a box of pizza. Not sure if it's from the vendor or if you're allowed outside food in. The vibe was fun, the crowd was lively and everyone there for a good time. It's more of a younger scene.

Bartenders are cool and not pretentious for how cool the space is. Friendly, welcoming and diverse. Come out and support. Parking sucks. It's 4th Street.
