Chicken pot pie
Debbie F.

I am very disappointed with my last visit (8/4/26). I made a reservation and we were seated immediately to start things off right. We came to celebrate a birthday and this restaurant was the choice of said birthday girl. The reservation process was easy. We were seated immediately. We decided to start with bottled water (Aqua Panna) but several felt it just tasted like tap water and didn't drink it. A waste of money. The restaurant was packed so slow service was to be expected. Our waitress took our order shortly after being seated. Starting with a Ceasar salad, which was the best thing we had all night. It was light and flavorful. 3 of us ordered the much anticipated pot pie as it's now served on Monday and Tuesdays. Sadly we were all disappointed. It completely lacked flavor! This was brought to the attention of our waitress, where I told her it was flavorless and asked for salt and pepper (S&P) to try and fix it. We did receive those items + hot sauce. After 3 rounds of adding S&P, my dish was "ok" enough to eat. I personally felt this could have been handled better, instead of pretty much blown off. 3 of 4 people unhappy with their meal and no sorry, no offer to replace the dish or bringing it the managers attention. 5 mins later she came back to see if the S&P made it better. No credit to the bill, offer for dessert, nada!! Just the full check brought to our table for payment. After our bill was paid, we saw the manager and called him over. After notifying him of how horrible the pot pie was, he did provide a gift card as an apology to the person in our party who got his attention since our bill was already paid. The card amount is approximately enough to cover 1 pot pie including tip and tax (with a small bit left over). I do appreciate he tried to make it right(ish), but 3 meals were horrible, not just 1. I did have a good first experience here and hope there is quality control measures put in place as food like what we ordered should have never left the kitchen. With so many wonderful higher end restaurants in town, it will be a while before I give this place another try. BTW, they do not validate, so parking on the street is ideal or be aware of the time limit for free structure parking.

Scottish salmon
Kingston W.

We stopped by on Sunday afternoon. Perhaps due to the time, getting a table was easy, even as walk-ins. The available menu was the brunch menu. We started with appetizers: mussels ($23) and braised lamb belly ($25). For the main course, we ordered a ribeye steak ($69), Scottish salmon ($46), and "dirty pasta" ($36). Drinks included a glass of wine ($17) and a glass of Coke ($4.50). With tax ($23.15) and an "employee benefits" charge ($5.51), the total came to $249.16 before gratuity. The mussels are cooked in a broth of white wine, nduja sausage, tomatoes, onions, lemon juice, and parsley, with a toasted baguette served on the side. I liked the overall taste of the dish, but the mussels were small. The braised lamb belly was an interesting dish, as it was served with kimchi and thin sheets of daikon radish on the side. I assumed the idea was to make a "taco" by combining the three components. I liked it, though the lamb had bit of gaminess which might not appeal to everyone. The ribeye plate comes as steak only, with sides available à la carte. The steak was cooked nicely--juicy and flavorful, though I was a bit surprised by how rich it tasted. The "dirty pasta" features large rigatoni, ground duck, ricotta, and sauce. It was good, and the duck made for an interesting change from the usual beef. As a complete plated meal, I think the Scottish salmon was impressive--both for its visual presentation and the taste of the meal as a whole. The restaurant floor has a split-level design. Upon entering, you'll find a large oval bar surrounded by tables and booths. Step down a level, and there are seats offering views of the Long Beach marina. This area with a view is protected by windows--which is good, as the marine air is often cool and breezy. It seems that nearly all the establishments owned by this restaurant group have names starting with the letter or word "A." When searching online, use the words "a pch restaurant," as "a pch" alone is apparently too vague a search term. A final note to management: I was surprised to see a $5.51 charge for "employee benefit" on our bill. I playfully asked our server what benefits this covered, but they didn't know. They mentioned it could be removed if I objected, but I chose not to. My point is, if you're charging diners, shouldn't your staff be able to explain it? And if the line item can be so easily discharged, maybe you shouldn't be adding it in the first place.

Patio view
Brett R.

Our first time at A PCH won't be our last. Visited for my husband's birthday dinner and got seated right against the glass patio wall. Within a few minutes, our drinks and started had been ordered (our starter was noted to take extra time). And by the time drinks arrived, we put in our entrees. Everything we ate and drank was outstanding. Beautifully plated and vibrant in color and flavor, it was a truly exceptional meal. And the drinks were very tasty. And dessert - delicious. Definitely plan to come back for a weekend brunch! One thing to note - restaurants at 2nd & PCH do not validate parking, and only the first 90 minutes are free.

whipped ricotta
Criss N.

I came here for happy hour and views, and I was not disappointed. I think this is a great place for a happy hour dinner date before shopping around with your friends at the 2nd & PCH plaza. I got squash blossoms, two orders of spicy tuna, whipped ricotta with fresh pita, octopus, and a pizza. Everything was simple, but well done.  I enjoyed everything with a couple of cocktails, which were all delicious as well. A PCH is definitely on the pricier side, but it's super worth it during Happy Hour.

Lynette H.

The covered patio with the view of the marina is so great! It's such a nice spot for a weekend brunch. I am happy you can make reservations, as I'm sure this place gets busy often. I went that a group of friends and we share a lot of the plates. The appetizer fish tacos and the cheese board were really good! And sparkling wine bottles were half off.

The A Tuesdays !

Everything was amazing yesterday!! you MUST try The whipped feta, the carrots and the chicken pot pie !

Hangar steak with fries
Lauretta N.

Friend and I came for lunch after a glowing review from a friend who loved their chicken pot pie which is only available Monday and Tuesday. They have a lunch menu that has an appetizer,main course and dessert. We both had the delicious Caesar salad. Hanger steak with fried was next. Fries were so yummy and steak had a lot of flavor and cooked perfectly. Marshmallow ice cream was last and the description on the menu didn't make me think it would be good. Wrong assumption. It was delicious with a caramel sauce. Service was excellent. Can't wait to try it again.

Bar Menu
Jayson E.

Back here for a second visit, but this time we stopped by just for the bar. Seating is first come, first served, and it was fairly packed on a Saturday evening, though we were still able to find two seats without too much trouble. The bar area itself looked great and felt spacious, making it a comfortable place to sit and unwind despite the crowd. I ordered the Gin Blossom, while my partner got a vodka-based drink along with a Long Island Iced Tea. The bartenders were friendly and welcoming, and the drinks were made well and tasted great. We only stopped in for a quick drink and snack, but overall, it was a solid and pretty standard experience at A PCH. A nice spot if you are looking for a casual drink in a good atmosphere.

Cocktails!
Susan J.

Celebrated a friend's birthday on Saturday. The restaurant is beautiful inside and out. Our party of three was seated in a comfortable booth. There are huge areas for large groups. Beautiful view but bring a jacket if you get cold easily. Cocktails were tasty and served promptly. Two of us shared the Crab Cobb Salad and the 3rd enjoyed all of the sea bass. We ordered fresh baked bread, truffle fries and duck fat hasbrowns. Everything tasted fresh. Cob salad is too large for one person (in my opinion). My friend loved the sea bass. Fries were average as were the has browns. My friend was giving ice cream for her birthday and we ordered the cornbread Madeline's. Our server was friendly and attentive. She said she wasn't too familiar with working the brunch shift but she did a great job!

Ribeye and mashed potato
Lorelay R.

A's Restaurant has truly become our favorite place in Long Beach! We first came here in March to celebrate my promotion, and the experience was so amazing that my daughter and I have continued coming back ever since. I especially want to shout out Melissa, Justin, and Alberto. Their service is beyond exceptional, but it's how genuinely warm, personable, and welcoming they are that makes every visit so special. They always make my daughter and I feel like family, and that kind of hospitality is rare. The food is absolutely delicious, and the quality is consistently amazing, but even great food and quality are nothing without great service. Melissa, Justin, and Alberto truly complete the entire experience. We always leave feeling cared for, appreciated, and excited to return. We absolutely love A's and the wonderful people who make it feel like home. If I could give more than five stars, I would!

Off menu- I asked for a bowl of fruit and whipped cream
Kate L.

We're bar people. People watching and great service by Richard & Travis. Mussels are always delicious Pate is fresh The skirt steak was perfectly cooked, soft and juicy melt in your mouth. The chicken piccata love the capers. instead of potatoes, asked for pasta Love it here!

Old Fashion extra cherries (smooth)
Robert D.

This place has top notch service. Food is perfectly made and the restaurant has nice ambiance. I've had the oysters and steaks (Ribeye) because I missed the pot pie day, and I wasn't disappointed, nice crust and buttery, melt in your mouth bites. My wife and I made it back for the pot pies and I would give it 4 of 5 stars, wish there was more filling, the crust was delicious and filling though. Flaky and croissant like. I had Old Fashion and my wife had wine. It's pricey but worth it, we will be back on a different date night.

Chicken piccata
Joann C.

Came back a second time and it was still as good as the first! Service is great! This time discovered a noteworthy dish, the chicken piccata (definitely upgrade to the pasta!). If I had one complaint, they need to clean the floors, maybe it was a busy day, but there were so much food debris on the floors.

Food was not bad but not fantastic. This place is more for the vibe and ambience to have drinks IMO. I'd give it another shot in the future.

I've been about 2-3 times now, and the food has consistently been really good. That being said, I would definitely recommend a little more customer service training for the servers. Everyone I've encountered has been very nice, but sometimes it's the simple things, like showing that you're happy to serve your paying customers and making sure they feel taken care of. Each time I've visited, we've found ourselves waiting close to 30 minutes for our server to come by for refills, a to-go box, or even the check. I completely understand that mistakes happen and that things can get busy. I've worked in the restaurant industry before, so I really do try my best to be understanding. However, during one of my recent visits, my order came out incorrectly. There was an item on my plate that I had specifically requested not to have. Of course, mistakes happen, and I had no issue communicating the mistake to my server. What bothered me was that instead of apologizing for the error, she looked at me and simply walked away with the plate. I assumed it was a minor mistake and that she would have the order corrected. I could have just removed the item myself, but at the same time, I shouldn't have to pick through my food after receiving an incorrect order when I'm paying for it. When she brought the plate back, she simply left it on the table without saying anything or acknowledging the mistake. I actually found myself apologizing to her for making her do the extra work, and she just walked away. Overall, I really do think Luna is a great restaurant with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. I'm sharing this feedback because I think with some improvement in customer service, communication, and wait times, Luna has the potential to be even better. I would definitely come back, and I hope this feedback is taken as constructive criticism rather than anything negative.

After enduring weeks of record breaking heat in Long Beach, this was the perfect place to land as the Summer Breeze... Makes Me Feel Fineeee again. A very well but gently lit space that still feels cozy and spacious. The outside gives no indication of how well the inside has been designed. Great for lunch or dinner dates. Noise level was low and there's no feeling of a chaotic restaurant environment. Food/Service 1-5: 4.8 I order the shrimp and lobsters fettuccine, bone marrow as an appetizer. My company ordered the lamb burger. All dishes we beautifully plated; true works of art. Neither of us had any complaints about presentation and creativity. As far as taste and as excited as we were to dig in to our food, the ONLY setback was the lack of seasoning mainly salt. I'm aware that a Chef does their best to meet the expectations of their guest. I'm also aware that meeting everyone's expectations is impossible. To confirm my advice of needing some salt in the food I patrons the restaurant twice, two days in a row. The food needs more salt and I stand solid on that opinion. The service was great and I thanked Mel for taking such great care of us. Mel is a rockstar! Diversity score 1-5: 4 The restaurant definitely appeals to diverse crowds. It reminded of the days I frequented Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster in Harlem, NY. Go again score 1-5: 5, Absolutely. I do hope I don't have to keep bothering the server for salt and pepper.
