    Cucumber mint Agua Fresca.
    Lisa B.

    FOOD: Kevin had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fries. I had cheese enchiladas Suiza with rice and beans. We had cucumber mint Aquas Frescas to drink. Kevin really enjoyed his sandwich. The bread was delicious and not too thick. The inside was yummy with yellow bell peppers. I enjoyed my enchiladas and the beans and rice. The drinks were well proportioned and refreshing. SERVICE: I ordered takeout and the woman at the counter was very nice. I forgot to get her name. AMBIENCE: the restaurant is clean with lots of well spaced seating. I went between 230 and 3 PM on a Friday so parking was easy.

    My favorite go to spot in Bixby Knoll. Right on the Atlantic strip. Always solid!! SERVICE*** I've been coming here for 2-3 years now. Such nice people work here, nice neighborhood feel They have booths, tables and a cool bar top looking out the front window FOOD*** My wife got the Cali Burrito, always delicious, I think she got this 3 times in a row now! I got the Blacken Chicken Sandwich, I love this sandwich, the bread they use pairs amazingly with the blackened chicken and avocado! PARKING*** Parking on the street right in front or in the back. They have great breakfast too! I'll post that next time

    Was expecting this place to be delicious for the good reviews on google and tiktok, but food was tasteless! We ordered two orders of chilaquiles and added steak for $10 ea. The steak was very small and dry, seems like they used one steak and divided it for the two plates. Pancakes were dry as well and "rubbery" Definitely not worth the price for the quality.

    I can't say it was necessarily bad but it wasnt that good either. I want to chalk it up to me coming right before they close. I ate a Philly cheese steak sandwich and fries. It mostly tasted like a bell pepper sandwich. Skimpy on the meat, skimpy on the cheese. Fries were seasoned bland if that's possible. Didn't like the drink but that could be just a me thing. Try at your own risk. It's very beautiful inside. It was a little dark in there and some of the lights were actually off when I entered. The fried zucchini were fresh, succulent and crunchy. My favorite thing there. The service was great despite the food not being so. I would come back but at a different time of day, try something different and someone else paying.

    Chicken caesar wrap with fried zucchini!

    Honestly, walking by this place you would not be sure what to expect. Mexican food and lasagna tapered on the front window!? Surely making everything can't be good right? Boy was I wrong, and I can see why this is a bit of a hidden gem in the area. It's not your typical trendy American diner, but they have great food and fits all kinds of things you might be feeling. I like that they serve breakfast all through the lunch hour, so you can have your french toast even in the early afternoon. I got the chicken caesar wrap which was pretty solid; the chicken was really flavorful and there was a lot of it. It's one of those caesar wraps that is a little lighter on the dressing, so you might need to ask for more if you prefer more. But, the surprising standout was the fried zucchini you get on the side. It is absolutely fantastic. It's served with ranch but tastes great on its own. Comes out hot and fresh, basically like zucchini fries. Would highly recommended selecting as your side. One of us also got the loaded nachos which honestly is enough for like 3 people to share. This was also pretty yummy, with the chips clearly being fried fresh. Service was great--very friendly, food came out pretty fast. There was no wait for a weekday lunch. The inside is pretty cute and you wouldn't really be able to tell from the outside, with a nice mural on the wall. It almost gives a "fine dining meets casual" type of vibe. Unfortunately certain dinner items were not available for the breakfast/lunch hours (e.g. the pasta which many people seem to like), so keep that in mind! Overall I'll definitely be back to try out some of the breakfast items as well as their additional dinner options!

    This is the end.

    The place is clean, and you can sit wherever you want. The waitress was very pleasant, and I loved that the orange juice was freshly squeezed! Their menu has a lot of variety--I wanted to try the French toast but opted for the chilaquiles instead. They were alright--too much sauce, and the sauce was a bit bitter (a little heavy on the tomatillo). The eggs were perfect, though, and the plate came out hot, which I appreciated. The music was nice too, creating a cozy vibe. Overall, it tasted like a home-cooked meal, and the prices are reasonable. I'd go back and maybe try something else on the menu next time.

    This is the second time we have lunch here. And we're definitely returning. The food is delicious. The portions are big, so come hungry. The chilaquiles had an authentic Mexican taste. The service was top noch. The 2 servers were very nice and attentive. The restaurant itself is clean and comfortable. It looks a little outdated. There were only 2 parties having lunch. I don't think many know of this yummy eatery.

    We came at around 3 on a Saturday afternoon. Not too busy, so we got seated and served drinks right away. Interior is pretty with papel picado hanging from the ceiling. They ran out of Ravioli so we got Chicken Parmigiana instead. We got Al Pastor Quesadilla, Chicken Parmigiana (comes with garlic bread), Lasagna (comes with garlic bread), and Mac and Cheese. Al Pastor Quesadilla: Good, served with Guacamole, Sour Cream, and Pico de Gallo on the side. Chicken Parmigiana with Alfredo Sauce: okay, generous amount of chicken and it was super tender. We still prefer the Ravioli over this. Lasagna: always yummy. This is the second time I've ordered it and still could not finish it in one sitting. Mac and Cheese: would definitely get again. Tastes so good when it came right out. Garlic Cheese Bread: softer than the usual Garlic bread (maybe because of the cheese?). Still delicious but I prefer the crunch of the Garlic bread

    French toast

    We noticed this restaurant on yelp and were curious since it was close by! We decided to try it and were impressed with how good the food turned out for breakfast. My husband was very impressed with the French toast because the bread used had infused cinnamon so it gave it a different flavor than traditional French toast. It felt like I went to Mexico for a second. I ordered the green chilaquiles and I was happy with my selection! I prefer savory breakfast than a sweet breakfast like pancakes etc. It looked like the restaurant was family operated but I didn't get to ask. They came around to check on us often, and asked if I wanted more coffee. I had added carne asada (steak) to it since it was an option. I should have done without it because I didn't like how it was marinated. The restaurant had cute wall murals that reminded me of pueblitos in Mexico. It is a little small place but overall it was nice to sit inside.

    Shrimp Burrito
    Kris B.

    Came here for Fourth Friday and it was stupendous! Got a seat right away event though Fourth street was crowded. Fast, efficient service and my shrimp burrito was delicious. Very reasonably priced. We will definitely return again.

    Al pastor and asada tacos. I scarfed the chicken taco before I remembered to take a photo.

    Tony's has been an important part of the Bixby Knolls neighborhood since it opened. Family run, the chef brings great skill and care to all of their offerings. The menu is not huge, but there are a nice variety of items: Italian dishes, burgers, Mexican dishes, desserts, and a collection of rotating specials. I know it's probably boring, but I really love their soft tacos. I usually get one chicken, one asada, and one al pastor. I must confess that, in general, if there's al pastor on the menu, that's what I'll get, but their chicken is insanely delicious. I am not sure what they do, but the chunks are moist and beautifully seasoned. Their al pastor is deeply flavorful. Their asada is tender and beefy. The portions are generous, and I struggle with finishing all three. (Don't worry. I do.) I also love their salsa verde, which is tangy and fresh, with just a little heat. Now, if I'm feeling ambitious, I'll order churros for dessert. They're about 6" long, and 6 to an order, served with a thick chocolate dipping sauce. (You can order them with ice cream, too, for an additional charge.) I did not finish all six, and took the rest to go. The service is friendly and, if you go there more than once, they'll probably remember you. The ambience is lovely, both casual and welcoming, with bright colors and other festive touches. Street parking is generally available, but arrive early so you can find a spot.

    Best Breakfast Plate

    No matter when and no matter what time no matter what item I enjoy from here!!! Everything is full of flavor. Great environment best service, beautiful location. I love Tony's.

    Vegetarian Lasagna

    I love the vegetarian lasagna at Tony's kitchen. It's so delicious. They made a special batch on request. Highly recommend the specials this weekend.

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers.

I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them. Perfect service, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food will definitely have me returning very soon! Parking is free for 2 hours at the nearby garage on 3rd and is a very short walk.

TLDR; It's expensive, and not worth the routine visit, but worth the one-time stop in to experience the festivities. The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie is somehow even more decorated and extravagant than you'd expect from a seasonal pop-up. The line looks long outside, as there are no reservations, but it moves quickly since they hold everybody to a pretty strict 2-hour time limit. The drinks are good, the cups are cute, and everyone is festive. It's an all-around fun experience.  I think because of this, you do pay a premium price tag for food and drinks that are just good or okay. I think it's something that is worth the visit if you've never been and you enjoy getting into the Christmas spirit. I think that outside of the pop-up, The Ordinarie is a fun spot to check out in Long Beach. It't not a pillar of the food scene if you're a tourist, but it is a good, late night spot if you work in the industry nearby. They have a great late-night menu with a killer smash burger.

I had difficulty cutting through the crust with a knife. There is a lot of cayenne in their hollandaise sauce, not my favorite version. The thick slice of tomato was the highlight. Side of bacon $6 for two measly pieces - overcooked and too crunchy. I could tell the bacon would have been good if it was more on the meaty/chewy side. This came with a potato pancake which was like mashed potatoes mixed with cheese and then fried. Service was okay, I think because it was pretty busy. They may need more staff to help the servers with drink refills and to check in more frequently. Lastly, our table was very wobbly and we had to fix it with sugar packets otherwise our drinks would have toppled.

It's right in Belmont and one neighborhood away from the water. Great date place and bar too. 2026 update: This breaks my heart. The menu has changed, the chef has definitely changed and service has unfortunately gone down. First off they cut a good portion of the menu and the physical design is not the easiest to read. (that's not really a problem tbh but it's something to note) What is the problem are the following: Ordering food for 3 took 20 minutes for servers to come, get food, and water + drinks we ordered. food took almost 45 minutes to arrive at the table. I get the kitchen makes a lot of stuff but this is crazy. at this point we were here for over an hour without eating. Not only were the orders wrong but also food portions were noticeably smaller. Credit due here, they fixed that (ofc which takes an extra time). Final straw here: To get someone's attention, get the bill, then for them to come get the bill, pay, and give us our cards back took: TWENTY MINUTES. Just to pay. tldr: food prices went up, staff not attentive, food still decent but different chef. Food is noticeably saltier. This place is still cute and servers as a great bar but oh my gosh has it gone down hill. Full context half the restaurant was empty. we are so disappointed. this place used to be great :(

We had the grilled artichoke, chicken piccata, and the cioppino. All very very delightful. During our dining experience I needed to use the restroom. The smell in their bathroom was amazing. Probably one of the best smelling restrooms I had ever. When I was leaving, I politely ask the hostess if she knew what the name of the smell was bc it was so awesome. She wasn't telling me the exact name. She essentially told me the essence. While in the middle of her talking, a female manager aggressively told us that they were not aloud to tell patrons the scent. Hey, I get it, but as a person who was a manager for one of the highest ranking upscale casual dining restaurants, who has worked in 5 star resorts, knowing how to provide kindness to both guests and staff, this manager did not present those skills. This manager was quite frankly disrespectful not only to her staff, but to me. There is a way to handle situations without embarrassing your staff member and making them feel small and showcasing your flex of power to a diner who was about to drop hundreds for a dinner in our volatile economy. This manager did NOT handle this appropriately. Like i said, she was rude, extremely aggressive to respond, and not once smiled and said, "I'm so glad you love it. It's our secret to get you to come back." She did try to say it was a secret, but seriously... with the way she treated her staff.... I think she better focus on hospitality rather than the scent in the bathroom. After this interaction, I actually watched and observed the manager during the remaining time of our dinner. I wanted to see how she interacted with her staff. I wanted to see if she knew how to manage without flexing on her staff bc obviously she doesn't know that words matter and what you say and how you say it can make or break your staff's entire night which can reflect on how they treat their guests. I get this is lengthy over a restroom scent, but as a person who thrives on seeing the beauty in how a management team can make a huge impact on the success of a company, if she's openly rude and aggressive to me and her hostess, how is she with the rest of the staff and guests? Just a little food for thought. I will say, that interaction totally changed my view for the remaining time of our dinner. I truly hope that the female manager who was working last night June 1 reads this and changes the way she handles situations. From what I saw and experienced, she needs to take a step back and regroup. She needs to be retrained on how to treat her staff, how to smile with kindness, and how to kindly make a joke about the scent kindly with laughter rather than an attack on her staff. To the hostess: I'm sorry you had to be treated that way. You were incredibly kind from upon greeting us even to the very end. You're awesome. I'll return back, but I do hope next time, the manager from last night is on a better wave length as the people who help create her position. There are a lot of great managers out there willing to take that place.
