Upon being seated we were given a delicious complementary appetizer- pita topped flavorful chicken salad that also had a beautiful presentation. I ordered the lavender reign cocktail... wow, I wish I ordered another one. It was well balanced with lavender and beautiful to look at! My friend and I shared the Spanish meatballs to start - full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I ordered the shepherds pie for my main course and it was delicious- I am picky with my lamb and the flavors weee perfect. The owner came over a few times to check on us and was super friendly. I will definitely be back! Can't wait to try other dishes and cocktails!

He insisted that try another drink so I assumed he would comp it but he then charged me for the second drink. I was also overcharged for the food and had to point it out. The recommendations for food were not good. Except for the manager, the rest of the staff was not friendly. They did not make us feel welcome. The bartender while sitting at the bar was not social at all and the place only had a few patrons. This place was great and now it's not.

They were packed so they seated us at the last 2 seats left at the bar near the host stand. There was an acoustic singer and guitar player adding to the energetic ambience. We were handed the place mats and menus upon seating. Then it took about 15 min to order a drink. Then another 25 min before we could place our food order. The female bartender was attentive to all the parties around us, and people who came in after us seemed to be a priority. The barback finally noticed us and helped us while he was also busting out drinks. He noticed we were trying to get her attention so he stepped in kindly and took our order. We ordered the Grilled Artichokes, the Burger, and Chicken Carbonara. (Wanted the Bolognese but someone had just ordered the last one by 8pm?!) She never checked in for a second round, so we didn't bother after about 20 min we gave up. The Artichokes came out about 20 min after ordering. They plopped them in front of us, no utensils or napkins. I had to ask the barback for some. The busser seemed disgruntled a said they only had forks. Had to flag someone else for napkins, and they brought us a pile of c-fold paper towels, when they usually have cloth napkins as we noticed with patrons who came in after us. My sis-in-law and I wolf down the 4 pieces of artichokes, using our fork and hands to cut into pieces (no knife). Then another 30 min before our mains come out. Couldn't even ask anyone for a food status update, so just tried to enjoy the live music and each other's company to distract from hunger pangs. The burger and carbonara finally show and looks great. The portions were generous. Fries were a little blonde and just underdone but seasoned enough. The carbonara was delicious as well, nice and al dente. We enjoyed our food and chatted. Music was on the louder side but for a Friday night at 8ish pm, that is not uncalled for. The restaurant started to end their rush and the bar emptied out a tad, but the service did not improve. Asked for the bill and to-go containers as soon as I could flag someone bc I knew it would take awhile to get them. Of course when getting the bill things progressed speedily, so we paid and tried to get out as soon as we were done. The staff there was hot and cold. Barback was helpful and everyone else seemed "annoyed" to have to help us with simple requests that shouldn't have to be requested to begin with. Again I understand rushes happen and staff can become overwhelmed. The bar team had to service the bar and some high tops nearby plus make drinks for the rest of the restaurant, so I understand the volume was high, but again the management team should plan accordingly to make sure the diners do not have to feel the lag in the service. Food was good but left a little disappointed from the service.

Naturally if the food is taking a long time to be made, I will have higher expectations for the food tasting good due to it being made to order. I think the issue is with the recipes of the dishes themselves. The flavors of the huevos rancheros did not go together- somehow there was something sweet in them which surprised me. I also was not a fan of the flatbread due to the flavors and texture not melding well. My mom felt that something tasted off about the chicken dish. The best dish was probably the French toast which my brother liked. The price of the meal ended up being expensive considering the taste. I think the restaurant can work on improving their recipes.

The atmosphere is warm, lively, and inviting, the perfect place for a great dinner, drinks with friends, or a night out. The food was outstanding. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, beautifully prepared, and you can tell they take real pride in the quality of what comes out of the kitchen. The service was equally impressive, attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and never overbearing. What really sets this spot apart is the combo of great food, excellent service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy yourself. It's the kind of locally owned restaurant you're genuinely happy to support because they clearly care about their customers and their community.

On Saturday, My wife and I stopped in for a quick dinner and sat at the bar and met Jenny the bartender. Jenny was one of the nicest staff members that we've ever had. She had a great sense of humor and served delicious drinks , especially the spicy margarita which was " made with love " which was to my wife's liking. Usually I order the pizza but this time I ordered the All American Burger which consisted of LTO, secret sauce, pickles, double patty smash style, brioche bun and french fries and it was delicious and it hit the spot. I was guilty of texting pictures to my friends to tell them to check out Brix the next time they visit Long Beach . Definitely a 5 star experience

The servers were all super sweet, and the hostess' did their best to accommodate our group. We ordered two drinks-Cucumber Cooler and the Indian Summer. The Cucumber Cooler was pretty refreshing and reminded me a lot of a mojito. The Indian Summer, however, was extremely tangy and tart, so I wasn't the biggest fan. For our food, we got a Charcuterie Board, Spicy Chicken Rigatoni, Smokehouse Burger, and Cedar-Plank Salmon. We honestly devoured the Charcuterie Board as soon as it was placed down in front of us. I loved the toast paired with the meats, cheese, and fig. The Smokehouse Burger is honestly so filling. I was pretty full from a quarter of the burger, because it was so packed with things (onion rings, cheese, patty, etc.). The fries are also a classic. The rigatoni was also pretty good; it's your classic vodka sauce. As for the salmon, I was a HUGE fan. The maple-bourbon glaze on the salmon gave it a nice smoky, savory, and sweet flavor that paired amazingly with the garlic herb rice. I could honestly eat this for days. Overall, the food, service, and vibe were pretty nice. I see why so many Long Beach natives recommend this spot.

Choice of beet/goat cheese salad, choice of penne a la vodka with chicken, salmon or skirt steak. Dessert said gelato. There was only one server for close to 30 people. Boo!

It did not say it was Teriyaki marinated, but it was. It must have been a full foot long! Yay! The sourdough bread was delicious, but didn't mix well with the flavored butter. The gelato, although very good, was ice cream, not gelato. Boo. I've been here before and it was much better about 6 months ago. Most of the staff had changed. Everything was mostly good, but not like it was last time.
