Breakfast Plate
Lucy L.

I stopped by here after walking through the TSA security checkpoint. I was starving and luckily sat at the counter and didn't have to wait. I ordered the two eggs breakfast plate with the sausage patty. The food did take some time. It took about 20 minutes to come out. My server was nice and attentive. The food isn't anything special but it's a simple breakfast and did its job. The sausage patty was pretty salty though.

Fish and chips

The service here was awful. Our waiter was slow and we had to repeatedly ask for water refills. I asked for a refill and he gave did so, my sister's glass was empty and he didn't refill hers. He took my niece's drink order and returned with nothing. Then he asked her again like it was his first time seeing her ‍ . She had to go and get her own menu. I know how LA is and don't think black women tip, maybe that's why we got such terrible service. The ambiance is overpriced food at an airport in Cali. The fish didn't have seasoning nor did the batter. The fries tasted old.

They have the best calamari!!

They have the best calamari!!! That's all I ordered, and I ate the whole thing with no crumb left behind. The waitress came back, laughed, and said she knows how delicious they are. The staff were great and patient, even with how busy it gets at the airport. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The best restaurant at LGB!!

Breakfast Market Bowl - I'd ask for balsamic glaze on the side.
Lynn O.

The Boathouse is a favorite on the Marina. Love all the local businesses that are set up in the beloved Long Beach Airport, including Boathouse. Although we don't get a pretty view of the Alamitos Bay here, they do provide an al fresco patio area for travelers to enjoy some delicious drinks and a hearty meal before their departure. The bartender(s) are always on deck, ready to take your order and serve your drink. Previously, I got the Breakfast Market Bowl, which came with sautéed greens, veggies, breakfast potatoes, and two eggs your way. Unfortunately, they don't poach eggs here, so I opted for sunny side up. The ingredients were fresh, but I wasn't feeling the balsamic glaze on the dish. Adding hot sauce helped. This time, I got the Grilled Chicken BLT with sourdough, salad and a side of fries. The chicken was juicy and smoky, the bacon was crispy and the garlic herb aioli went well with the sandwich. The fries were perfectly seasoned, crisp and not too greasy. The fresh house salad balanced out the meal. I washed down my lunch with a La Marca Prosecco. The price point is what I'd expect at an airport and it was all worth it!

Drink menu

Located inside Long Beach airport near terminals 1-4. Great restaurant with lots of seating outside, some inside seating, and bar seating. Their menu isn't super extensive but boy do they have great options and food!! We were all so amazed by how good the food was! The cherry on top was our server Giovanna, she was an absolute Gem and superstar who made our lunch before our flight worthwhile. Now we know which place to go to when we happen to pass through LGB.

It felt like a place for locals to enjoy a great steak without breaking the bank on drinks. Where we can sit and chat for hours over a few bottles of wine. It felt like a place to take our families and friends for any occasion. The new corkage fee started from 0 and jumped to 50 bucks after the first bottle. That is a huge jump that I know many regulars are not a fan of. This place no longer feels worth it. It suddenly feels like any other steakhouse trying to attract "high end" clientele. No longer has the feel as a place where regular people can enjoy a steak. We've been customers for over a decade. And it had its rough times. It wasn't always as popular as it is today. But we stuck with them because mainly for the no corkage fee as dumb as that sounds. We were loyal and it paid off. They got through rough times and the food quality got so much better today. Our loyalty was lost with the corkage fee change. When asked for a suggestion, I would recommended to buy a good steak and cook it at home these days. Such a shame.

Came here for a birthday dinner and honestly, everything about the experience exceeded…read moreexpectations. There was a small mix-up with our reservation at first (we had requested a window view), but the team fixed it immediately. The managers stepped in right away, introduced themselves, and made sure everything was taken care of. That alone set the tone for the rest of the night. We ended up getting the perfect window table, and the view was incredible... overlooking the water and the Queen Mary. We arrived in the early evening after sunset, so there was still a bit of light out before everything transitioned into night, which made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean, and not overly crowded, which made it feel even more relaxed and enjoyable. The food was just as impressive. The clam chowder was piping hot and, according to my mom, the best she's ever had. I ordered the 30-day aged ribeye, and it was easily one of the best ribeyes I've had... perfectly cooked rare with a great smoky flavor that wasn't overpowering. The crab cakes had real chunks of crab (not filler), and the lobster mac and cheese was rich and perfectly done. Everything came out exactly as it should. What really stood out to me was the service across the entire restaurant... not just our table. From the moment we walked in, the staff on every level were warm, welcoming, and attentive. Even team members who weren't directly assigned to us would stop by to check in or make sure we were taken care of. That level of consistency is rare and made the whole experience feel elevated. Special thank you to Gregory (manager), Alex (our server), and one of the female managers (whose name I unfortunately forgot) for going above and beyond. On top of everything, they made a few thoughtful gestures that made the experience feel even more special, which we really appreciated. We'll absolutely be back. This place really checks all the boxes... view, food, service, and overall experience.

Something this restaurant does know is Salt! Heavy salt on crab legs, steak, Benedict. Second was wait time, for a filet that was overcooked and over salted. It took close to an hour from a somewhat of a prefix menu. Best thing I had was potatos and DIY Bloody Mary bar. Server was very nice and location was great. Food was a disaster

Tell me to meet you somewhere and I'll be there. Simple as that and less stress for me. Anyways, that's how we ended up at this place. Trying to find happy hour with food in the area was somewhat a challenge. Either they were finishing up or it wasn't that interesting on the menu. Of course some places offered amazing drink deals but no food. We ended up here actually across the street still looking up for places but the rooftop patio was what caught our attention. The restaurant itself looked bare as there was no one inside. Still on the early side but noticing people going in and then heading up stairs. After a few debates on here and there, we gave up and found our way here. Checked in with the host, letting him know that we just wanted happy hour upstairs. It was about two flights of stairs which the place looked quite industrial with all the metal beams and stairs. Downstairs was beautiful but completely emptied. Everyone wanted to utilize the rooftop patio as it was beautiful out. We were greeted by someone which mentioned to us that any bar seating was available. There was a section towards the back that was pretty lively. I think it was booked for a group. Instead of the bar area, we asked to sit along the rooftop counter that looks out to the street and building across the street. Way better view and perfect way to spend the afternoon hours. Staff were all pretty sweet and very friendly. Whatever we needed they were they to help. Both the regular menu and happy hour menu were quite impressive. As we just wanted HH, it was given. They had drink special for 10.00 and small bites for 10.00 as well. Didn't hesitate and started off with some drinks. The red sangria with mixed fruits was a nice clean and refreshing treat. Tasteful without that aftertaste. And the Le Pistolet Fumant, a delectable tasty drink with mezcal with a hint of pineapple. And other well drink that was perfect for a nice afternoon. HH drink special was quite tasty to start off. Food wise, started off with an order of the Caesar salad, simple but delicious. Fresh crisp Romaine lettuce and slices of Parmesan and crouton bits. Nice crunch with each bite. The dressing, wow pretty tasty. And an order of the Mac and Cheese . Most places it's either a hit or a miss and let me say it was a HIT. Quite cheesy and full of flavors that a second order was had. A dish I do recommend for HH. We also had an order of the Brussels sprouts which was excellent. A nice glaze and crunchy with chunks of house cured pancetta. Nice big chunks I must say. Lastly the beef sliders with Wagyu beef patties. Honestly, this was the least favorite of the dishes we got. You would think it sounded great but it was quite tasteless and nothing major to report on. Served with brioche bun and shredded lettuce and tomatoes and a lemon aioli. I had high hope for it when I saw the group next to us order it but it was a little disappointing. Overall, the Mac and cheese, Caesar salad and Brussels sprouts were all hits. The sliders, disappointing. Other items on HH didn't look too ingesting for us but it was for other people. The rooftop lounge and bar area was the place to be when we were there. It picked up real fast after we got seated. Picnic style tables being occupied by large groups before HH ended. Just the rooftop alone was great and beautiful. It a place that's good for a drink and meal with friends. Downstairs was beautiful but seemed more of an intimate experience. Overall, it was a great choice for a meal during HH.

Our waiter Karn stayed friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time, which honestly made the experience even better. We ordered the Thai Iced Tea, Calamari S&P, Crab Rangoon, Seafood Medley (medium spice), Orange Chicken, Pad See Ew with chicken, and Spicy Fried Rice with chicken (medium spice). Every dish came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The Calamari S&P was crispy and seasoned perfectly, the Crab Rangoon had a great crunch with a creamy filling, and the Seafood Medley was packed with seafood and had just the right level of spice and leftover sauce for the white rice on the side. The Orange Chicken was crispy with a flavorful sauce, the Pad See Ew was rich, and the Spicy Fried Rice had amazing flavor with a nice kick. The food, atmosphere, and especially the service made this such a great experience. You can tell the team works hard to keep everything running smoothly even during a rush. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

Every dish we've tried has been full of flavor and genuinely worth ordering. Surprisingly, compared to other Thai spots, it's usually not overly packed and honestly I'm almost scared to say that because I don't want it to change. The service has always been great, the food comes out quickly, and the portions/prices feel reasonable. So far, our favorites have been the pad see ew, tom yum soup (medium spice), egg fried rice, fried calamari and the beef BBQ which was so good we immediately ordered a second plate. The mango sticky rice is also really good, but the portion is on the smaller side, so we ended up getting two orders since one plate is hard to share with more than 2-3 people. Parking has been easy for us so far since there's both a parking lot and nearby street parking. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants that's officially in our regular rotation.

Finally made it out and they are about to close. :(…read more It was very busy when we arrived and we had to wait about 20 minutes, but after being seated, everything was smooth. Trying several items on the menu provided us a nice sampling of what they have to offer. We enjoyed everything we ordered. My favorite was probably the Brussel sprouts as they were cooked to perfection and not sweet like most restaurants serve them. A close 2nd was the chicken parmesan served over zucchini noodles. The final item ordered was a mushroom pasta with shrimp. The shrimp were fantastic with a light char and perfect flavoring. The pasta was good. It was a bit to spicy for me with the chili oil so I only had a small portion. The inside is simple yet inviting with an open layout. They seemed a bit short staffed, but every one was hustling and honestly we were well taken care of. Sad I won't have another opportunity to try more of the menu, but grateful to squeeze in this visit before they close in about a week.

It's been a while since the last time I've visited for dinner and drinks. This time, we stopped by…read moreSaturday evening with no reservations. It did look quite busy on the patio when we checked in with the hostess. We were informed that it would prob be about 20 minutes or so for a table and if we wanted to wait at the bar. Exactly what we did. Bar area had maybe 5/6 hi top chairs that look onto the bar. Gabriel and Francisco who were working was knocking the drinks out one by one. Sitting there and just watching them create magic for everyone, it was quite amusing. Seeing how it's made and presented with precise detail, it was an art. While waiting for the table we started off with the raspberry lychee martini and the spicy margaritas. Both were great. The right amount of kick with each sip. Gabriel was knocking them out one by one and man was he busy. Fransisco took are of us while we were eating which we ended up just having our dinner at the bar instead. The last time I remembered the chicken Parmesan which was excellent. So we started off with the grilled prawns as a starters. Five prawns in a skewers and grilled with a delicious sauce accompanied. It was tasty and quite delicious. Decent size and meaty for each bite. Entrees was a little mishap as our meal was mistakenly given to the party next to us which they enjoyed. Honesty mistake but we laughed it off. Kitchen was informed and a rushed was put on our order. We weren't in a rush so it was fine with us. They apologized and graciously offered us a dessert after dinner. Something simple but very graceful for the honest mistake. Entrees, the wild mushrooms pasta which was quite tasty and pretty decent in size. The cream sauce which wasn't too over powering the meal was great. Each bite was very tasty. Then there was the chicken Parmesan which why we were here and expecting. The last visit it was excellent with grilled broccolini, slices of tomatoes on top and mozzarella cheese and onto spaghetti pasta. It was great. Thinking it would be the same this time which it wasn't. This visit, it was just served with squash pasta and buffalo mozzarella on top. Honestly it wasn't what I expected, somewhat of a little disappointed. Chicken was good don't get me wrong. But the hot meat with sauce and then you have literally COLD squash pasta paired with it. It was a little underwhelming. Overall, we still had a nice experience. The place was pretty full and of course the lakers were on so it was fun seeing everyone cheering them on. Bar seating for a meal was great as we had fun conversations with both Gabriel and Francisco. Plus they were cranking them drinks out one by one. Excellent in what they do. The drinks were great, grilled prawns and wild mushrooms pastas were excellent. Chicken parm, this time was a miss. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and cocktails. Also the dessert, highly recommend the Cinnabon with vanilla ice cream. Wow, it went down very well. Hoping next time will outdo this.
