Love love love this place I've only been here a handful of times for birthdays. But it's one of my favorite places. Whenever anyone asks me for recommendations I always recommend this place as one of LBs finest It's located at 2nd and pch which is a great location with other shops and restaurants. It has a really gorgeous view overlooking the marina with beautiful windows (come during the sunset) The bar is also stunning with some of the best drinks and one of my favorite espresso martinis I recently came here with my eating partner in crime, Kara, for her birthday We had already eaten so we just wanted some light snacks and drinks (one of the best burgers in Long Beach is also here. So come hungry) We ended up getting seated right away Making a reservation is really easy and highly recommended They pay attention to detail and put happy birthday on the menu Each time I've came we've had outstanding service and the staff is all very very knowledgeable about the menu and suggestions We went with the truffle fries and a pizza which were delicious (they brought us out 3 different sauces with the fries) again, we had already eaten and mostly came for the drinks. But, if you do come hungry, GET THE BURGER, you won't regret it! We also ordered the apple pie and then the free birthday dessert came out (ice cream) The atmosphere is really pleasant and parking is perfect if you can find a spot in the garage or even better, parking on the marina side. And then you just take the elevator up (next to Ola) We asked our waitress for drink recommendations since it was late and I didn't want to go with my trusty espresso martini. I went with - vibe check. Which was a cucumber mint vodka based drink with lime juice. Highly recommend, so refreshing My girlfriend got the - Leilani For our second round we both ended up with the -The Gilded Lily. Which has Rosemary but you can not even taste it (I'm not a Rosemary fan and our waitress kept assuring me that you can't taste it. It's a very sweet drink and it comes with Rosemary for garnish but she left that out for mine) also, she was extremely nice about it and said if we don't like a drink, it's ok and she would gladly switch it out. (Which my girlfriend did with the sub-lime after I told her I had it last time I was here and it was a popular drink) I actually can't really say what The Gilded Lily tasted like. It was very refreshing to me and beautifully presented. Highly recommend (vodka based with hints of berry, Lillet Rose and fresh lemon juice Overall, everytime I've been here it's been a delicious pleasant experience read more

We came here to celebrate our friend's 21st birthday and had the BEST time! Huge shoutout to our server, Delia--she was amazing from start to finish. She was super helpful walking us through the menu, gave awesome food suggestions, and her drink recommendations were spot on. She told us to add their hot sauce to the pot pie & it made it ten times better! Delia really made our experience special. Great service, great vibes, and we'll definitely be back! read more

We had a great experience! Our waiter was incredible and we had a really nice booth tucked away in the corner by the fireplace. I ordered the chicken with the pasta substitute as per the waiter's recommendation. It was delicious! Usually I don't like ordering chicken because it's never that great but this chicken dish is super flavorful! I highly recommend. The only annoying part of my experience (which may not be the restaurants' fault so I didn't dock a star) was that they do not validate parking. So after the 2 hours complimentary parking be prepared to pay for parking. Our friend who lives in the area told us right outside the lot is free street parking that would have saved us a good $25. Good to know for next time! read more

A PCH - Old Man and the Ocean Cocktail - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

We were happy. We were pleased. We were impressed! First time at A PCH... We did not know what to expect but everything was pretty darn lovely. Beautiful restaurant with gorgeous views of sunset over the marina. Interesting, intriguing and mouthwatering menu options. Excellent service, We shared the duck liver pate which was a treat... My husband had an excellent salmon dish and I enjoyed the "dirty pasta "which had a duck Ragu. All the portions were impressive! Definitely not skimping on portion sizes because it's an upscale restaurant... In fact I had to pack home half of my dinner and will enjoy it later! Drinks were sophisticated and enjoyable... especially sitting in our cozy booth looking out over the sunset. When we finally got to deer we could not resist the delicious apple tart with ice cream. Even the coffee was excellent... We tipped our server well because she had done an excellent job. As we left, the bar seemed crowded and very lively. Definitely this is a hotspot for East Long Beach, we will return. 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

We went here for our anniversary and they gave us a menu that said 'Happy Anniversary', which was a really nice touch. The place itself is cozy and classy, perfect for a romantic dinner or a night out. I got the Scottish salmon and it was hands down the best salmon I've ever had in my life. My wife ordered the chicken piccata and it was just as good, super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The chefs know what they're doing, the staff and hosts were great, and even the manager was walking around making sure everything was running smooth without interrupting folks meals. Very classy, upscale vibe for sure. They also have a free photo booth, which is such a cool idea if you want to grab a memory before heading out. This is one of those rare spots where if I could give 6 stars, I would. The staff, the food, the location, all perfect. I can't wait to go again. 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

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

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

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

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

Delicious food; excellent customer service; beautiful ambiance. Sunset time is gorgeous. Try going before happy hour ends so you can try more off the menu. My fave is the chicken pot pie. Try to make reservation before you go(I've done same day-came in clutch!), it surprisingly gets busy out of nowhere. Will come again read more

Second time coming to A PCH. Came here last year for Mother's Day with my sister; and we liked it so much that we decided to come back again this year. The ambiance, views, drinks and food were great. Their service was a bit slow this time. It was Mother's Day, so perhaps that's why. We did experience a slight misunderstanding that was appropriately handled by the manager Tina. Thank you Tina for clarifying the situation for my sister and I. I will be returning to A PCH on a regular weekday for happy hour with my husband so that he can finally get a chance to see and experience this nice restaurant that my sister and I keep telling he and my brother in law about. 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

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

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

My husband, I celebrated our anniversary last night and had a fabulous dinner. The Manager Melissa brought over two glasses of champagne to toast with which was very sweet of her to do so. Our waitress Jael was outstanding. You can have a beautiful restaurant and amazing food, but if your waitress/waiter is not good, it makes a difference on your dining experience. We are very lucky that we got her and we will definitely request sitting in her area the next time we're there. Andrea Pederson 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

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

Came for happy hour cocktails and enjoyed our experience! Our bartender was very knowledgeable and helped recommend some good drinks. The food menu is a bit pricy, but we will be back to dine here on a date night. The restaurant also has a photobooth to the right of the restrooms at the end of the bar. It's free and super cute. The view is also beautiful as the restaurant is facing the water. The lights are dim and the ambiance is super intimate and classy. read more

A PCH - Espresso martini and a Manhattan - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

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
