We've been here a few times before, which is why this experience was especially disappointing because the service and quality have never been like this. The food came out warm instead of fresh and hot, and the glass and silverware were dirty. I also requested bottled water, but after it was poured, another waiter came over and poured tap water into the same glass. About 15 minutes later, the same mistake happened again. There was clearly bottled water on the table, so this should not have happened twice. Overall, this visit did not meet expectations. read more

Great spot! First of all, the service was great. Immediately the hostess was so nice. She greeted us and helped us find a table where I would have a good view of the football game on tv and stay warm. Then our server was very nice and knowledgeable. Afterwards our bartenders at the bar were so friendly and nice. That made for a really good experience. The restaurant is chic and trendy but you don't have to dress up. Love Long Beach that way! There is bread service which is much appreciated. We started with the octopus (amazing and perfectly cooked) with the lobster roll (I wasn't crazy about it-didn't think it was anything special but my friend really liked it). Then we had the pasta with duck ragu (very good and a large portion) and the Cesar salad (standard, nothing special but solid). The best part? If you go to the bar after for a "nightcap", it's half off your cocktail! I think just one though and your server needs to tell the bartender. What an awesome way to end the night! read more

Lobster sushi was good but def needed that soy sauce so you have to request it. The chicken pot pie only served Mon and Tues. The crust reminds me of like a flaky puff pastry and you need salt and pepper but yes worth the drive to long beach. They also had a cute view of the water. The drinks were yummy and def would be back to dry some other items. Service took a bit to greet us but once they did everything was good. read more

Came here for a summer dinner. Service was actually quite good - it's a shame the owners and management are doing everyone dirty pretending to know anything about food and restaurant design on any par with their pricing. You'll realize something is off the moment you walk into the restaurant - this is prime waterfront real estate, yet more than half the seating and the bar are blocked off from the view. Poorly chosen seating arrangements and design makes it feel like two entirely different restaurants - a classy open dining area with natural light where you can take in the sunset...and a gaudy dark dive bar with oversized booths and awkward lighting. I had the unfortunate experience of sitting at a dark, unnecessarily tall, booth for four...where an overhead spotlight shown directly down on my head, whilst the center of the table was dark...clearly consistent with the overall lack of attention to detail. Most importantly lacking is menu ideation and execution - nothing is original, unusual, or exceptional - so why are the prices? Did the head chef go to culinary school or just work at Acapulco for a few years? Such a low effort menu could be compensated for with excellent execution, but salads, pastas, and fish we all tried were average or below in taste/execution. To add insult to the injurious pricing of this pedestrian fair, the portions are laughably small. See my 3oz of Halibut for $60 - it was probably 2oz after being cooked and was paired with a measly 1/3cup of risotto, three baby carrots and a teaspoon of avocado. Screw me, right??! 2 stars for the attentive server. I can pay half this for same or better food with larger portions at dozens of other restaurants in LB. Won't be back. read more

Ambiance is definitely on point. The staff members are very attentive and welcoming so that's also a big plus. Happy hour prices are okay. Still expensive but the fish tacos and the pizza happy hour menu are very good. Spicy pizza and fancy pizza are both great. There's no beer on tap here and it's limited selections so be prepared for that. Lots of wine and cocktails options though. The only issue was they don't validate unlike other places within the area which is a negative if you stay over 90mins. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant with incredible design & attention to detail! They did a wonderful job on that end. Service was friendly and attentive, as well. The only reason I am giving this place a 4/5 is because I felt some of their dishes we tried (steak & pasta) lacked flavor and just felt like they were missing something! However, I'd come back to try more options on their menu! read more

Service was nice. No paper napkins which was odd. Food was better than average. I'd go back.

When peoples recommend you A for the upside down pot pie okay and I kept seeing the add and the videos so we gave it a try service was OK... it could of had been better I felt servers only attended who the wanted to we went 20mins with out refills on spades and everyone just walked right passed u til I had to get up and ask for a refill... Pot pie was a NO.... Super watery no flavor not much in it you get a few pieces of shredded chicken and maybe a few peas I don't recall other veggies I was so upset because it looked so delicious and it was NOT.... read more

We sat at the bar with lovely Bartender Haley who gave us the best service ever. Extremely pleasant and answered all our questions about the beverages and the menu items. We ate at the bar. The food was perfection. We had the bone marrow with a mushroom topping, the squash blossoms, and the beef tartar. I must mention that Haleys backup staff were also so attentive to our every need. All were perfectly prepared and delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant overseen by the Manager Andrew. He is on top of everything and really has a great venue going. 100 Star rating by this reviewer. read more

Came here for the 1st time for the chicken pot pie BUT it's only served on Monday and Tuesday! Oh well....Ordered the chicken piccata and my friend had the skirt steak. ZERO's across the board ! Zero flavor Zero seasoning for both. I mean nothing. Amazing customer service since checking in for our reservation at the front and our server was great. I'll only rerun to try the pot pie but I'm hesitant because both entrees were tasteless. The photos and videos on social media is what brought me here. Also, great music and ambience read more

My daughter and I had a wonderful late lunch here. We loved the open terrace, it's a great view. Plus the details in the decor are subtle, but impressive. Our server was helpful and the hostess was very friendly. We tried the Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup and the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Both of them were very satisfying. We each also had a cocktail after a tough day shopping. We strolled through the bar on the way out and were impressed by the whiskey selection, read more

Definitely consider A PCH for celebrations. Finally found out what was in this corner of 2nd & PCH. Parking is ample, you can go shopping after, and there's ice cream at this plaza. Made reservations for 2 and got seated promptly when we arrived. Reservations were made on OpenTable and you can leave notes for the restaurant. Service was great, our server was very knowledgeable and had recommendations ready. We ordered the 2oz Japanese wagyu, the ribeye steak, broccolini, and mashed potatoes. The wagyu was cooked just right and everything they had on the plate to pair with it really amplified how good it tasted. Of the two sides, the potatoes were better. They have 1/2 off wine Wednesdays and there's even a cute complimentary photo booth inside the restaurant. Would definitely come again. read more

Nice atmosphere. Food prices are overcharged in my opinion. Salad with chicken $30. It might be okay for some people, but I don't usually spend that amount at lunch for an average salad. read more

This place was a SHOCK how good it was. We got the fancy pizza which was amazing, oysters which were fresh, salty, and huge! and then also the whipped feta appetizer and chicken piccata. Not a single thing was bad. My sister got a dirty martini and said it was one of the best ones she's had. It had the small ice particles in it which is a classic sign it's a good martini. Definitely going back read more

On the second floor of 2nd and PCH is where you can find A restaurant. This is the perfect place to treat yourself to a luxurious dining experience with great views. We ordered a couple of cocktails that were sophisticated and bold! Especially the martini with the caviar stuffed olive. Their spicy tuna on tempura eggplant was my favorite. It just bursted in amazing flavors. The whipped feta was so creamy and paired with the saffron honey on top it was chefs kiss. The Scottish salmon was fantastic. The beurre blanc, which is a fresh butter sauce, was the perfect pairing with the salmon. The Boneless ribeye was cooked to perfection. It had a caramelized crust while being juicy and tender on the inside. It was hearty and satisfying. This place is definitely a fun, delicious and memorable splurge. Thank you to our lovely server Yael (hope I'm spelling her name correctly) for being so attentive and helpful. read more

Beautiful restaurant with a great view! I came here for a work lunch on Friday and had a wonderful experience. Elegant place but the serving staff made us comfortable, didn't make it feel pretentious. We started with some appetizers - Meat and Cheese Board ($38), BBQ Heirloom Carrots ($14), Corn Esquites ($12) (Elote off the cob). Everything was so delicious. The nice thing is we had a big party of 9 people, so we could try a lot of different things. I had the Heirloom Tomato and Burrata ($19) for my entree. Everyone was very happy with their choices - whether it was the beautiful looking steaks, the seared tuna, the sausage pizza, Cacio e Pepe, the additional sides of asparagus. It was a great meal with great conversation. The staff did not make us feel rushed at all and gave us plenty of time between courses. Some people even left room for dessert! read more

Fabulous Friday night at A PCH. First time visit and it didn't disappoint. Reservations for 5:30 so we caught last 30 min of sip and savior (aka happy hour) and got a few discounts on drinks and apps. Make sure to check out the cool photo booth for free in the bar near bathroom, must stop! Let me start to say our service was amazing, from hostess, buss service and of course our amazing server Alexandra W. Everyone was attentive and courteous and really made the night complete. App time... whipped feta. Wow this will be attempted for my next cheese plate for sure. The salty feta was topped with blistered tomatoes and wonderful honey and lemon sauce that all mixed perfectly with some warm fresh pita. Great deal for $12 at Happy Hour. Grilled octopus also a happy hour special for $20. It has a lot of other stuff like veggies, potato and chorizo. I wasn't a big fan of the potatoes since they felt like filler but the flavor is amazing and I 100% order it again. 6 oysters- they were fresh, west Coast with a great homemade cocktail sauce. Can't complain. Drinks were flowing. Whiskey drinks for myself included "Yellow stoned"which was an elevated penicillin and "summertime in the lbc" which was a much fruitier grapefruit soda mix. It was a refreshing summertime drink but too sweet for me the yellow stoned will be my go to! My hubby tried "pear'd up" a pear vodka drink and "wild peach" which was a less peachy Bellini. I don't do sweet so both were a lot for me, liked the pear better and he did too but he finished both, so not too bad. He also finished with the espresso martini at the end of the night and they gave option of creamy or more coffee forward. He would try creamy next time. Still good but strong. Oh that's right more food... skirt steak medium rare served with fingerling potatoes and broccolini,served on a red pepper sauce. To start, steak was cooked perfectly. I prefer a little more salt but the sauce made up for it and tend to lean toward salty side. Hubby loved it and veggies were cooked perfect and it was nice to have a complete meal. I think it was $45 ? Highly suggested! Cacio e Pepe with fresh made pasta. It was excellent, not super traditional as the sauce serves a little creamier and loose compared to others but it was wonderful flavor and loved the bit of citrus. The quality of the fresh pasta will make we try their dirty pasta dish next time. $25 great deal. Are you full yet? Basque cheesecake with blueberry compote, fine I guess. No crust with a brûlée like outside, it was fabulous! It don't think the blueberries were even needed but they didn't slow us down. All in all it was a great night with amazing service, comfortable decor, spectacular views and delicious food and drinks. We will be back thanks to the kindness of our amazing server. Thanks for making a great night even more memorable. Hope to see you next time, management you have a great hire there! read more

What a fabulous addition to 2nd & PCH! I came here with a couple friends around 5:15pm on a Saturday & it was definitely busy. I would recommend trying to make a reservation in advance. Our reservation was for outdoor seating which is basically still indoor seating but with an outdoor view (big windows to see outside). Beware the sun might be in your eyes for a little if you sit in this area (their blinds don't go all the way down). Once the sun set it was no problem though. To start, we got their whipped feta which had heirloom tomatoes, saffron honey, basil, sumac & housemade pita to dip it in. It's a similar vibe to the whipped eggplant from Elephanté if you've been there before. For drinks my friend and I got the PCH margarita which is basically a spicy margarita. It was a little spicier than I expected but if you like spicy margs you'll love this one. For entrees I got the fancy pizza with the arugula on the side. It has pesto, burrata, prosciutto, arugula, honey and balsamic. This was one of the better pizzas I've had & I would totally get it again. My friend ordered the cacio e pepe pasta and rated it an 8/10. My other friend ordered a caesar salad and added chicken to it. The restaurant is very modern and cute & a little added bonus is they have a free photo booth inside. Unfortunately the restaurant does not validate for parking but the first 90 minutes are free if you park in the general 2nd & PCH lot. Sometimes you can find free parking on the outside area if you're lucky, but weekends can get busy. I'm looking forward to coming here again and trying some of their other offerings! read more

03-10-2024 A PCH is located at 2nd & PCH. If you find parking out on the street, it's free. Or you can park in the structure... I don't know what the cost is. You can take the stairs or use the elevator to get up to the restaurant. You can see it from Marina Ave. side of the shopping area. Not only is the restaurant elevated (on the 2nd floor), so is the dining! The bar is where you enter the restaurant. It is pretty stunning and beautifully decorated and lit! It's an island with seats around it. There are a few booths there also. We walked up and were greeted by the friendly lady and she seated us promptly. We were asked where we'd like to sit, so we chose the table at the edge of the enclosed patio with a clear view of the marina. It was a little breezy and we almost sat elsewhere, but decided against it. Our server was helpful and efficient. We started off with Orange Juice. After we perused the menu, we decided on the Charred Octopus, Chilean Sea Bass Tacos, Brioche French Toast, & Maple Bacon. The plates have the name & location of the restaurant on them. If you go to the restroom area, it has an interesting arrangement. There is one general restroom area for everyone. Each stall is a fully enclosed room. The sinks are in the open area and the paper hand towels have the logo on them, too. Back to the food, I'm not sure I'd get the Charred Octopus again. It is served with Chorizo Picante, Roasted Potatoes, Confit Tomato, & Aji Amarillo Sauce. It was a busy plate and I think it just drowned out the perfection of the Octopus itself. The Brioche French Toast with Blueberry Compote, Mascarpone Cream, & Crème Anglaise was very good! It wasn't overly sweet. I think the Mascarpone Cream & Crème Anglaise complemented the blueberries & French Toast nicely. Also, in between the French Toast bites, I had bacon to offset the sweetness. One thing I am not a fan of is paying for anything I don't order. In this case, it is the tacked on "Employee Benefit" charge. I don't recall seeing it printed anywhere on the menu. It's sneaky and not right for the customers to have to scrutinize our checks. We leave much more than decent tips & we don't always see the extra charge until after we pay the bill. This was a nice relaxing place to enjoy brunch with a nice view of the marina! read more

I recently made reservations for a party of 7 through OpenTable to celebrate one of my girlfriend's birthdays, and wow, what an incredible experience it was! This was our first time at this brunch spot, and it certainly won't be our last. From the moment we arrived, we were treated to a beautiful view and warm hospitality. Our waitress, Alexandra, was absolutely incredible--so sweet and attentive, making our experience even more enjoyable and memorable. We indulged in a feast of delicious dishes: 2 dozen out-of-this-world oysters, truffle fries to share, 2 orders of spicy yellowtail appetizers, lemon ricotta pancakes, skirt steak with hash and eggs, breakfast pizza, salmon Caesar salad, heirloom tomatoes with burrata cheese, and the amazing dirty pasta. We literally shared every dish, and everything was just perfect! Their espresso martini was delicious too!! We had such a great time together, and the food was simply phenomenal. If you're looking for a spot with yummy food, excellent service, and a beautiful view, this is the place to be! read more

Before walking Naples to see Christmas lights, my husband and I came to A PCH for dinner. This restaurant has great vibes, a very nice bar with a lounge-like feel to it. I highly recommend that you make reservations if you plan to dine here. On Monday and Tuesday nights, they serve chicken pot pies which is supposed to be one of the meals that they are known for. We were both going to order the pot pie, but then I decided I would order the chicken piccata and my husband would order the pot pie. Our dinners were brought out to us and the presentation had us drooling in anticipation. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. The crust on the pie was the best part. It was light, flaky and delicious. The filling, however, was very bland. And while it had the usual fillers of carrots, peas and potatoes, my husband felt it could've had more chicken. My piccata was also a disappointment. Our waitress said it was her favorite dish with pasta instead of the mashed potatoes. My pasta was perfectly cooked to al dente. But the chicken was heavily breaded, pounded very very thin and was small in portion. This wasn't our first visit to A, but I think this was probably our last visit. read more

The worst experience I had was when no server approached us for 10 minutes. I went to the front to complain, and a server was sent over gradually. Our server was really nice and tried to make Mother's Day pleasant for me, thank you. When we asked for our bill, we were offered half off because of the bad experience we encountered. I told the manager that it was unacceptable to us because we went there to have a good dining experience not free food. My husband and I are both professionals and it was not our intention to complain and receive free food. Please know and coach/educate your team including managers, that people complain not to get free food or a reduced bill. A decent service and dining experience will suffice for most people's lives. My first and will be last visit definitely. I'll not even bother to recommend this place! read more

I've been to A's on 2nd & PCH a few times now and every experience has been amazing! Most recently came for a date night during happy hour, and we ordered two cocktails, the "A" burger, Fancy pizza, and two spicy yellowfin tunas... yes, two, because it was that good. Honestly, it was so good I forgot to take a picture--always a sign of a great dish! The burger and pizza were also delicious, and the cocktails never disappoint, especially the whiskey-based ones, which are my personal favorite. We got the Yellow Stoned and All the Way cocktails! I also celebrated New Year's here and had an equally great time. The service is always on point, and the space has a classy, fun vibe that's perfect for a girls night out, date night, or any kind of celebration. Something to note: be ready to spend a little here, but it's totally worth it. The quality, atmosphere, and overall experience make it a standout spot. I'm already planning to celebrate my birthday here--that's how much I love this place. Definitely one of my go-to favorites in the area! Bonus tip: They offer gift cards, and during the holidays (I think around Black Friday), they even give you $20 for every $100 you spend, which makes it a great gift idea, too. read more

We stopped in for drinks and dessert after dinner at Tantalum, and I must say their strawberry, rhubarb tart was delicious! Had an espresso martini as well that went nicely with the rhubarb.

We were actually looking for Bungalow but ended up here, no complaints. read more

My dearest friend made a reservation for us here for birthday drinks + small bites. We shared a pizza and truffle fries! Standard pizza was just okay. It was kind of lacking toppings, in my opinion. It def was STANDARD lol. Truffle fries were a hit. The portion was huge. It was a never-ending mountain of fries and we also got a plethora of sauces to enjoy it with! Easily shareable! Dessert was probably my favorite part of the night, behind drinks. We had the warm apple tart with caramel sauce and ice cream! The warmth of the tart, paired with the vanilla ice cream, did things to me. Also a complimentary birthday dessert. So sweet. :) Our drinks were super delish and they hit us both right where we needed them to. Great vibes and beautiful view, overlooking the marina. Perfect for girls night or date night! read more

First time here, 4th of July weekend. Above average price, if you plan on dining here. It was close to 83 degrees inside the restaurant, doors were wide open and the air was circulating to its full advantage, coming from the harbor. But was still hot inside. I was sweating, feeling uncomfortable. Ordered Wine & Appetizers. Food was delicious and the service was ok. We had a waiter that seemed annoyed everytime we called him. His service did not seem genuine, but still got the job done. This restaurant also has a free photo booth you can take pictures from, which was entertaining. Overall, I recommend this place for the food, which was delicous. The positive thing is that happy hour is 7days a week. Plenty of parking is another plus. Negative, it was warm and sticky inside. I will still give this place another shot, maybe when it is not to hot. Place is nice and modern. read more

My little brother took me there for my birthday. We arrived at 8:50 pm and the kitchen was about to close. Luckily we were given enough time to pick our food and drinks. I had a filet mignon with asparagus and broccoli, any my brother had lamb chops with some type of pasta. Both were delicious! I loved my steak and the sides were all very tasty and juicy. Our drinks were also great and I didn't feel drunk afterwards. Our server was very attentive and made sure we felt comfortable and happy with our food.

A PCH is the second restaurant location for the River Jetty Group and A Restaurant in Newport Beach. It is one of the nicer upscale dining addition to 2nd and PCH with a view of Los Alamitos Bay and Marina. A PCH serves an eclectic menu. We started with the Duck Liver Pate. It was a bit odd as it was served in a jar topped with a huckleberry gelee. The pate itself was a bit weak in flavor which meant that it had a lot of filler. For an entree, I had the crispy whole branzino. It was served as a whole fish, head on, topped with a zesty veracruz sauce. The fish was tasty but a little bit difficult to eat because you had to be careful of the fish bones. I wish it was accompanied with some type of vegetable or starch on the side. We also ordered the lobster cobb salad. The salad comes with roughly 4 oz. of Canadian lobster served in small bite sizes. The white vinaigrette dressing was very light and didn't contribute to the flavor profile. Service was good. We were seated in one of the booths on the heated patio that also had gas fireplaces on both ends. Menu prices were on the high side. They also add a 2% Employee Fee with each check. Even though, there were some hit and misses, A PCH is a satisfactory dining option for New American cuisine. read more

Came for a birthday and we all had a great time celebrating, but not sure the atmosphere and price are worth it. We ordered a lot too so maybe it was just too much food. I will say, thank you yelpers, for telling me about the chicken piccata with cacio pepe instead of potatoes. This was the best meal ordered in my opinion!! I don't think the dirty pasta should be the most popular dish, ir could have a lot more flavor. I say yes to the fresh bread, broccolini, roasted carrots, and the tuna appetizer is also reallyyyy good. The Caesar salad was supposed to be grilled, but it wasn't warm and didn't have that char taste that others have. I liked the duck liver pate and octopus, but I also feel like I've had better. I did enjoy my dirty martini! And I was too full for dessert, but our party did try some. Overall, good time with good people, but I would go somewhere else for a fancy dinner. read more
