Chicken and dumplings
Kellie F.

It's me, back again. We unfortunately came back for what would be our last time dining as a group (we might come back one more time) at Bar Becky. So this review is for nostalgia. They even worked with us to add two more people to a reservation, which they are always so accommodating with. Because it couldn't be missed by any of us. We had a phenomenal meal. I'll leave the pictures so you can see for yourself. Our service is great. The drinks are great. The food is great. Everything about this place is great. I've said it again and again, we drive an hour plus each way to get to this restaurant. And wherever we find ourselves next with chef Jonathan, we will continue to drive.

We made a reservation for Bar Becky on Open Table and were greeted by a cute and cozy ambiance. There is a mix of bar seating at the open kitchen, high tops, and standard tables. It is a unique concept to have such an open kitchen where you can watch the innovation in action. Chef Johnathan and the other chefs were very playful and laid back when interacting with each other, and everybody was pitching in and doing their part joyfully. For drinks, we got the Sesame Mario, which was akin to a mildly spiced pineapple tequila-based cocktail, and the Rice Rice Baby, which was very smooth and rum forward. I didn't know what to expect when ordering a rice-flavored rum drink with orgeat, but the best way I can think to describe the drink was that it was both an expected and unexpected taste. We got a mix of appetizers, including the beet salad, mom's carrots, and pork belly. The beet salad was our favorite - the creaminess and acidity of the sauce balanced out the fresh earthiness of the beets. There was also a nice crunch in the sauce that provided additional texture. The carrots had a pleasantly warm flavor profile, and the maple syrup was very thick and paired nicely with the carrots. The pork belly was probably our least favorite, although still delicious. It tasted almost a bit gamey, although the rosemary in the beans was really nice. We shared the Pat's Bolognese for our main. The flavor was well-balanced, although we felt it could have a bit more meat and substance. We finished off with the panna cotta, which was unique with poached pear, pomegranate, and candied almonds. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Bar Becky, from the care put into the food and service, to the evident camaraderie between the chefs and waitstaff. Parking can be tough at LBX, but is free. An additional bonus is that EV charging is available in the lot (Charge Point - Level 2). Would definitely recommend a stop here. We are looking forward to coming back for the beet salad and to try additional menu items!

Caesar Salad

Chef Johnathan Benvenuti from Hell's Kitchen heads up Bar Becky, a tribute to his mother. When you enter you're greeted by photos of Becky at the host stand which immediately give you a cozy feel. The restaurant is spacious and the main feature is the open kitchen with chef's table seating where you can watch the chefs busy at work. Our server was so warm and made our experience great. The menu changes seasonally but I believe what we ordered were some of their most popular and longstanding dishes. The Caesar Salad was perfect and I loved the squid ink breadcrumbs. I knew I had to go with Pat's Bolognese as my main, made with their house spaghetti, wild boar and burrata. The quality of both the pasta and sauce was amazing and you could tell how fresh both were. I only wish the portion was twice the size because I wasn't quite full after. We were celebrating my friend's birthday and they gave her her choice of dessert on the house. That was a nice touch, considering most restaurants don't do that these days. She decided on the donut holes and OMG they were so good. Warm and fluffy with a delectable dipping sauce. It was definitely the right choice. I need to come back to try their Scratch Focaccia and their 3 course prix-fixe menu available on Tuesdays.

Potato Gnocchi, eggplant, focaccia with ricotta and prosciutto
Carrie S.

You know the place that makes you smile from the time you enter until you walk out, this is that place for me. The service, the atmosphere, the cocktails and of course the food! Chef you always leave me amazed. Of course the focaccia and ricotta/prosciutto if a must. They replaced the anchovy dip (which I loved) with garlic butter (which I also loved) so worked for me. But I would buy that anchovy sauce by the jar if they sold it!!!!! Eggplant as always, best vegetable dish I ever had but will try Brussels sprouts next time just to venture out (so I say, lol) and since they don't have them all the time. Pork belly with ham hock beans and salsa verde. So satisfying this time of year and it is what I hope and imagine my beans and ham taste like, but sadly they don't . (Note to self, buy pork belly) Mushroom Norcina was an herb spaetzle with house sausage in a truffle butter sauce. My husband's choice, and just like his choice in wives, he did good. The spaetzle was so tender and flavorful even without the sauce. And the sausage was a perfect pairing. Potato Gnocchi with a Korean pork ragu and a pesto ricotta sauce dolloped on top. The most tender pillow like gnocchi around, I love them here in any form and the ricotta pesto was a nice creamy complement to the whole dish. For the libations...the Anne Marie was a win with a tart rye whiskey meld and red wine floater. They made me their version of a Penicillin and it was fabulous, it's not on the menu but I hope they can make it again. Finished with the ricotta donuts and a huge smile. Warm and so soft inside from the ricotta. Cinnamon and sugar outside with what I think was a maple brown sugar sauce. Sorry I ordered as soon as I saw donut (Homer Simpson donut drool sound) and didn't even keep reading the description but it was perfect with the warm dough. Thank you chefs for the experience. Can't wait for next time and to keep trying new things. (Keeping notes now)

This place was kinda a miss for us. We were celebrating our anniversary and the service was like horrible. We got sat outside and waiting over 15 min for service and the bartender ended up coming out to help us and take our order. The Caesar salad was good, the squid ink breadcrumbs were the star. The duck was good but dish wasn't warm when it came out and the cavatelli squid ink pasta was too salty.

Bar Becky... wow, wow, wow. We were visiting from out of town and looked up places nearby on Yelp ~ this place looked like a great option. The shopping center was having a holiday Christmas event and the entire area was CROWDED. We were not hopeful we could get in...but after a small wait we secured a table. One night ended up being two nights in a row because it was just that good. The culinary expertise here is outstanding--every dish was absolute perfection. The menu isn't huge, and honestly, that made perfect sense. They focus on what they do best, and it shows in every bite. I recommend getting multiple items and sharing family style so more can be enjoyed! Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about wine, and the cocktails were pure perfection. I'm still thinking about this place and already planning to come back the next time we visit. Which makes it even COOLER ~ if it can be...Bar Becky is tribute to the chef, Johnathan Benvenuti's mother (Becky) and the restaurant reflects the families Italian/American heritage and culinary philosophy: scratch made pasta, focaccia, and chef-driven creations. I'm sending energy to the restaurant gods that this spot lives happily ever after, because it deserves a long, successful run. Absolutely loved it. RECOMMEND 10/5 stars

Pasta
Christina A.

I had dinner at Bar Becky last night with pretty high expectations. It's a small, intimate space with very friendly and attentive service. On my first visit, everything we ordered was delicious. Portions leaned small, but the overall experience left me really happy. This time, I was hoping for that same level of quality, but unfortunately it fell short. There were two standout dishes: the crispy eggplant and the hamachi crudo. The eggplant was perfectly cooked crisp on the outside, light, and full of flavor. The crudo was bright and fresh, with a flavorful relish that honestly had me wanting to lick the plate. Beyond that, the rest of the meal was underwhelming. We ordered two pastas, the duck nudi and the bone marrow bolognese, and both were noticeably under-seasoned. The pasta itself tasted overly floury, almost as if the cooking water hadn't been salted. We also tried the swordfish and the pork belly. The swordfish was quite bland, and while the sauce was decent, it didn't do much to elevate the dish. The pork belly was similarly disappointing, tough and lacking flavor. Overall, I left feeling pretty let down, especially given the price point. Bar Becky has potential and I've had a great experience here before, but based on this visit, I'm not in a rush to return.

Pesto

So the service here was really great. The hostess was also the answer for runner everything even though I was a little sad back she remembered my friend's name and not mine. But I think she was running around! We had to wait about an hour to get seats. It's not really big. There may be more space to the left, but I didn't really see. The food came out pretty fast. We were near the kitchen area where it's kind of like an open kitchen half of it so that was really cool. The focaccia was really delicious and to get prosciutto and ricotta was a must! It's been a while so I honestly cannot remember the exact post mean I swear one was like Popper deli with some meat which I'm sorry I think a short rib both was really good except the pasta was a little harder than I like. I feel like it could've been cooked a little more, but that's my own preference. Overall, a really great atmosphere and really awesome people. Would come back again!

Happy to have learned of Bar Becky through a local Long Beach Foodie FB group. The location, at Long Beach Exchange is fantastic, as it has added an additional dining option to the center. I visited on a Saturday evening with a friend, with 7:15 reservations made easily online (my original reservations were for 6:45, and we were able to adjust the time quite easily about an hour beforehand). Parking at LBX is ample, but can be a bit tricky during peak hours. We were immediately greeted by the friendly hostess and seated within 5 minutes of arrival. The restaurant itself is not very large, with a wall of half booths, a row of stand alone tables, and bar seating. There are also tables outside, though there was no one seated out there on the night we visited. Would be ok for groups, but I would definitely recommend reservations. My friend and I sat at one of the free standing tables for two, and were able to hear each other well in our conversation. The menu, printed on a large sheet of paper, featured appetizers and main entrees on one side and wines/cocktails on the other side. I appreciated the simplicity of the menu's offerings, as it made it quite simple to focus in on what you wanted. Our server attended to us within 5 minutes of being seated and provided an enthusiastic review of our selection, the Spaghetti Bolognese (featuring wild boar). My friend enjoyed a Cosmopolitan (I stuck with lemon water tonight), and we both ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese, as recommended. While I wouldn't personally return just for this dish, it was delicious, but very rich. I wished it was served with a thicker pasta, rather than the thin spaghetti. BUT, I'm also not a chef- so I know for a FACT that this choice was for a reason...and I respect that. This was very obviously a well constructed entree with quality ingredients, and the cost reflects that. As for service, both the hostess and our server checked in multiple times (bordering on a little too much), but I appreciate that there was never a moment where we lacked anything...also they were both so darn friendly, you couldn't be annoyed! I would love to return to try the appetizers and their Old Fashioned.

There's something about a place that doesn't try to be permanent. No fixed menu. No greatest hits. Just... what felt right that night. But what keeps us coming back isn't just the food. It's the feeling that you're part of it. At Bar Becky, you're not just ordering dinner-- you're stepping into the process. Trying new things, reacting in real time, sharing in that moment when a dish lands and everyone knows it works. Last night was one of those nights. The Scar's eggplant -- sweet, sharp, layered with that raisin-caper butter. The sunchoke three ways -- earthy, textural, unexpectedly the star. The chicken and dumplings -- reimagined with gnocchi, somehow lighter and richer at the same time. And the standout: blue corn spaetzle with pork -- deep, unexpected, and probably already gone from the menu. Then dessert shows up like part of the conversation: donuts with chai sauce -- warm, spiced, gone too fast. That's the thing... You don't go back for the same meal. You go back because, for a couple of hours, it feels like you're part of the family--and part of whatever they're creating next.

Eggplant side. Very good, probably my favorite part of the meal.

I tried Bar Becky for the first time during Dine LA. Food: 4/5 Service: 2.5/5 Complete lack of response when I emailed to share my experience: 0/5 Below is the email I sent to the restaurant about my experience. I never received a reply: "I had an early reservation and chose seating on the patio. Staff were very friendly when initially greeting and seating me and while I ordered. My first course arrived promptly and was fantastic (all of the food was very good, so I'm focusing more on the service in this email). I was still enjoying my appetizer (only about 2/3 of the way through) when a server came back to deliver my main course. This surprised me, as I hadn't been seated all that long and certainly hadn't had enough time to finish the appetizer while eating at a normal pace. I set the main course aside and finished my appetizer before returning to it. As with the first dish, the main course was very good, but I wanted to save room for dessert so I stopped about halfway through. I then sat at my table for at least 30 minutes while servers came and went tending to the other table without even looking my way (an impressive feat since there were only two tables seated on the patio). Finally someone came with a box and asked if I wanted to take the rest to go, which I did. They cleared my plates, and I assumed my dessert would be out shortly. I had been hoping to order a drink with my dessert, but instead I sat waiting at my table for another 30 minutes before someone finally came by with the dessert, placed it on the table, and promptly turned and walked away. It was a lovely night, so I didn't really mind the chance to sit and relax but I was surprised by how quickly the main course was served, how dramatically service slowed down after that, and the lack of attentiveness. When staff did interact with me they were all professional and welcoming, which made the lack of consistency even more notable " Based on the food, I would definitely have gone back if they had taken just a minute to reply to me. Given the inconvenient service (which I now hear seems to be a trend at this restaurant) and their lack of follow up, I won't be returning.

The fam and I came here for dinner, and we had a great experience. What a great find! Our waiter was extremely nice, since we had kids with us, he even offered off menu items that are kid friendly. Food was incredible! There wasn't a plate that disappointed.

Focaccia with duck liver
Sam S.

Excellent food. We went during the Long Beach Food Scene week on Sunday. The place was pretty busy, and the service though very friendly was slow, especially at the beginning. We sat for 15 or 20 minutes after giving our order. We brought our own wine (corkage $25) but even that was unopened. I will give them a pass on that because once the service started, it was very good with the food coming promptly. The food was excellent. We opted for the special ($75 for 2) and it was a great deal. The focaccia with duck liver was very good, the crudo and salad were outstanding. The lamb was okay and the dessert was good. Decor is modern, minimalist and elegant. I would highly recommend and we're going back soon.

Chef Jonathan and team at the end of the night!

Whether you're going for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, The Attic is one of those places that just has something special about it. They've got an outdoor patio, an indoor-outdoor patio, and a completely indoor dining area. Every space has its own personality. It's one of the most unique, eclectic restaurants you'll find in Long Beach. And if you love cornbread, oh my God, you have to try theirs! It's warm, buttery, served with honey, and absolutely delicious. I'm telling you, it's worth going just for the cornbread. The breakfasts are great. The lunches are great. The food across the board is fantastic. The bartenders are great. The menu has plenty of variety, and the whole place just has this incredible vibe. Imagine trying to find the restaurant with the biggest personality on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. That's basically The Attic. There's a certain energy to this place that's hard to describe. It's the same way Palm Springs has its own energy, or Melrose Avenue has a certain feeling you can't quite replicate anywhere else. The Attic has that kind of magic. And the best part? The food actually lives up to the atmosphere. The menu doesn't disappoint, the service is great, and the entire experience feels like something you won't find anywhere else. To me, The Attic represents Long Beach in every possible way. Because that's what makes Long Beach special, right? We're not Orange County. We're not Los Angeles. We're Long Beach. We have our own personality, our own culture, and our own energy. We're a little eclectic, a little unexpected, and completely ourselves. And that's exactly the kind of experience you'll find at The Attic.

I ordered the vegan sandwich, advertised with a vegan patty, kale, avocado, vegan egg, and bread. I requested a lettuce wrap instead of bread and added tomatoes. After an exceptionally long wait, while nearly everyone else at my table had received their meals, mine arrived missing the tomatoes, vegan egg, avocado, and lettuce wrap. It was essentially a vegan patty on arugula, despite costing approximately $20. Mistakes happen, especially when restaurants are busy or ingredients are unavailable. The problem was the lack of proactive communication. The restaurant apparently had no iceberg lettuce and could only offer arugula, which would have been fine if someone had told me beforehand. The same applies to the missing ingredients; instead, I had to discover each omission myself. The avocado was brought out only after I asked about it, by which point the delayed meal had become frustrating. I eventually requested complimentary fries--not because I wanted something free, but because a gesture of goodwill seemed appropriate. Good hospitality isn't about never making mistakes; it's about how a restaurant responds. Offering alternatives, communicating shortages, adjusting the bill, or providing a small complimentary item can show customers that their experience matters. The Attic has been a recognizable Long Beach establishment for years, making this decline especially disappointing. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect honesty, reasonable communication, and an effort to make things right. I didn't mind paying $20 for a thoughtfully prepared vegan meal; I minded paying $20 for a vegan patty and arugula while repeatedly advocating for the ingredients that were supposed to come with it. Sadly, after many years of remembering The Attic fondly, this experience may have cost them a loyal patron.

A New Job, A New Milestone & A Chance to Rewrite the Narrative…read more My best friend and I have a tradition of celebrating new jobs with a nice dinner. Since this was her new job and a major milestone, I let her choose the restaurant. She had visited Bo-Beau last year but didn't get the full experience, so this was her chance to rewrite the narrative. And it was truly night and day. I researched the restaurant beforehand and was excited to see that Bo-Beau is part of the Cohn Restaurant Group, which I mostly associate with San Diego and South Orange County. After this experience, I really hope they're here to stay. I noted on our reservation that we were celebrating her new job, and for once, the restaurant actually read the note and acknowledged it. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was excellent. The hostess welcomed us downstairs, another staff member greeted us when we reached the rooftop, and our server quickly followed up. Then came the surprise: complimentary champagne for both of us. It was such a thoughtful gesture, especially because those little celebratory touches seem to be increasingly rare. Our server was also patient with our questions and attentive throughout the evening without being intrusive. We spent about 2.5 hours enjoying dinner and catching up over: Baked Brie Brussels Sprouts Steak Frites Everything was flavorful, and the entire experience felt relaxed, peaceful, and worth the price point. The food was great, but the hospitality is what earned the 5 stars for me. Real hospitality is paying attention to the guest, recognizing the occasion, and making people feel genuinely welcomed. My best friend got the celebration she wanted -- and a much better Bo-Beau experience this time around. Will definitely be returning!

There's been a very patient because we were being very indecisive about where to sit indoor or outdoor vote. Once we set outdoor and was cold. We went back inside and they didn't make any complaints at all. Our server was really nice and I had a very good personality and very very attentive. I will come back here to try something else off their menu and just have a good vibe. This is good for date night or to bring your friends or if you want to just come solo and sit at the bar. -Marshay D.

One of my good friends recommended me this place so I had to try it out!…read more My friends and I went during happy hour and the deals are pretty good!!! Off the happy hour menu, we got the nachos, fish tacos, and the crunchy tacos. We loved the nachos and the fish tacos- very flavorful and decadent. However, we would probably skip the crunchy tacos next time- there wasn't really anything special about it. We also ordered the naughty fries and two pastas: garlic and parmesan pasta and the spicy mariana cremosa. The serving sizes for the pasta were definitely worth the price, and plus it comes with two pieces of garlic bread. The naughty fries were also really good! In addition to the delicious food, we also ordered 3 of their shaken espressos- cinnamon brown sugar, banana cream, and the cocoa moon rocks. All were pretty solid but I wish the flavor was more coffee forward. The interior of the place is very nice. I loved the light fixtures and the stage. It would be a perfect dinner spot for a night out. Our table was near the window and there's a lot of flies near there, so that was just a little displeasing. In regard to the service, it was a pretty slow. It took a while for us to get our drinks, the check, and also to pay. Our server was really sweet though! Overall, we enjoyed our time here at Luna Bistro and we hope to come back sometime again!

Random little neighborhood joint with a funky flair. Menu is extensive and the food matches the…read moremood! All of our food was amazing. We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed. I had the work burger, which has fried portobello mushrooms. Others in our group had grilled cheese and poutine burger, and Italian burger and the hotdog and the breakfast burritos. No one was disappointed actually, we were surprisingly pleased with our selections. Sleeper items are the fried cheese curds by themselves. Make sure you get these. Also the onion rings are batter dipped. And beyond delicious! Only bummer is the drinks are cans, so if you need more than one drink, be prepared to pay for each can. The food was super delicious!!

We stopped by here because it was late and they were still open. Another reason I wanted to try it…read morewas because they served poutine, and I'm always on the lookout for places that offer it. It was really loud during our visit. I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.
