I've lived in Long Beach for over four years now, and for some reason, every time I drove past A…read moreRestaurant, I always thought, "It can't be that good." I don't know what it was. Maybe the sign, maybe the name, but something about it just didn't call out to me. I'd see their Newport Beach location, always packed, and still think, "I'm going to spend a bunch of money, and the place is probably going to suck." Boy, was I wrong! We recently met someone who works there, and she encouraged us to give it a shot. So one evening, my girlfriend and I decided to check out the Long Beach location overlooking the marina. WOW. What an incredible surprise! First, the decor. Absolutely beautiful. Think Ritz-Carlton or Four Seasons. That upscale, luxurious feeling you get when you walk into a really special place. A+. Haha. I guess that's why they call it A's! Looking for a date-night spot where you can impress someone? A+. This place absolutely delivers. The atmosphere? Another A+. There's a buzz in the air, an energy that's hard to describe. You immediately feel like you're somewhere special. And then there's the food. Outstanding! From the appetizer to the main course to dessert, everything was fantastic. A+ But here's something I wasn't expecting. The chairs! I'm not kidding when I say I sat in one of the most comfortable restaurant chairs I've ever experienced. It felt more like a luxurious lounge chair than typical restaurant seating. I could've sat there all night, overlooking the beautiful marina, enjoying the atmosphere. The service was outstanding, too. And the people-watching? Fantastic! As people walked in, you couldn't help but look around. It's that kind of scene. Great energy, interesting people, beautiful surroundings. The whole experience just feels special. By the time we left, I was thinking, "We absolutely have to come back!" And here's what really impressed me. This isn't just a restaurant I'd return to because the food was good. It's a restaurant I'd actually crave. Craving amazing food? I'd think of A Restaurant. Craving a beautiful atmosphere, great energy, and a little luxury? I'd think of A Restaurant. Craving beautiful people? A's. That's rare. Usually, restaurants are great at one thing or another. This place checks practically every box. And now I'm kicking myself for waiting more than four years to try it! All because I judged a restaurant by its sign and name. How ridiculous is that? It really reminded me of that old saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover." I had absolutely no reason to believe the restaurant wouldn't be good. I'd never eaten there! Yet somehow, I'd convinced myself it wasn't worth trying. Meanwhile, I was missing out on one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in Long Beach. Now I can't wait to check out their Newport Beach location. Every time I've driven past, that place has been packed. And knowing what I know now, I can only imagine the energy and atmosphere there. Plus, who doesn't love Newport Beach? Oh, and one more thing. Apparently, they serve chicken pot pie on certain days. I haven't figured out exactly which days yet, but you better believe I'm going back to try it. If it's anything like the rest of their food, I'm in for a treat! Here's what I'll say about A Restaurant. Whether you're looking for an impressive date night, incredible food, beautiful waterfront views, outstanding service, or just a fun, upscale atmosphere, I genuinely can't imagine walking away disappointed. There's really nothing I can complain about. And I actually think this restaurant deserves even more attention than it's getting. Maybe there are other people like me who drive past, make assumptions, and never give it a chance. If that's you, stop doing that! You're missing out. A's restaurant should absolutely be considered one of the top go-to dining destinations in Long Beach. We're lucky to have a place like this because, quite frankly, Long Beach needs more bougieness! Bring on the luxury. Bring on the beautiful decor. Bring on that Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons kind of experience. Long Beach could use more of it, and A's is delivering exactly that. Four years of driving past this place, and now I can't wait to go back. Lesson learned. Don't judge a book by its cover. A Restaurant, you won me over. Oh, yeah! F**** A. Haha

A PCH -- Long Beach, California…read more Exceptional Cuisine and Waterfront Views, but Service Needs Refinement My recent visit to A PCH at 2ND & PCH was an experience of contrasts. The waterfront setting is spectacular, with views of the marina and toward Catalina Island. The kitchen delivered excellent cuisine, but the service did not consistently match the quality of the food. We were seated on the patio, where clear protective curtains helped shield guests from the wind and unsettled weather. Unfortunately, an unpleasant damp-mop odor inside the restaurant detracted from our first impression. The hostess station also seemed largely unattended when we arrived. Both are relatively straightforward opportunities for improvement. Our server was helpful, but her presentation seemed less polished than expected for an upscale restaurant. When we asked about her strained voice, she volunteered that she had been out partying the previous evening--more personal information than we needed. There was also a disconnect between our server and the supporting staff: beverage questions were repeated, plates were cleared at awkward times, and crumbs remained between courses. I wiped down the table twice myself. A short pre-service meeting addressing readiness, grooming, responsibilities, and table maintenance could make a meaningful difference. Fortunately, the kitchen was the highlight. Our two filet mignons were cooked precisely to our preference, served at the proper temperature, and beautifully presented. The accompanying herb butter was delicious. My wife enjoyed the chopped salad, though she would have appreciated a little more dressing. The bread service was less successful: the bread was dry throughout rather than simply crisp on the outside, although the flavorful butter helped. We had the pleasure of personally thanking Chef Sergio Gómez. He shared that he began his career as a dishwasher and worked his way up through the kitchen. His journey deserves respect, and his skill was evident in our meal. Then came the dessert: a peach tart with vanilla ice cream, recommended by the chef. Absolutely outstanding--10 out of 10. Perfect temperature, balanced sweetness, and wonderful harmony between the fruit, pastry, and ice cream. It is not to be missed. I brought a bottle of 2021 Clos du Lican from Chile's Apalta region to enjoy with the steaks. Corkage was $30, which is not unreasonable, though a slightly lower fee would be welcome. Our bill for three guests was $259.01 before gratuity, approaching $300 with tip. At roughly $100 per person, thoughtful, coordinated hospitality should be part of the experience, not just excellent cooking. A PCH has enormous potential. Chef Gómez and his kitchen deserve real praise; the front-of-house team needs stronger coordination and attention to detail. I plan to return, particularly to try the oyster service and bar, both of which I have heard good things about. With a few operational refinements, this could become one of Long Beach's standout dining destinations. And I would happily return for that peach tart alone.

The service was very good and the food for the most part was excellent. We had the olives and blanco bread as an appetizer. The bread was fresh made and came out hot straight out of the oven. The olives were marinade in fennel pollen and orange. I couldn't get enough of them. We shared a beat salad that was very tasty and my wife had the rack of lamb which was delicious. I will say that I did not enjoy my main course of Porchetta. I felt like it had good flavor, but it wasn't cooked well and the center where the pork belly was supposed to be tender and melting was very tough, chewy and inedible to me. Despite this one dish I really liked the restaurant and I am eager to go back and try something different.

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've been here before but never knew that they had happy hour. Well, it's a good thing that I know…read moreabout it now. Last visit we've been was for brunch and it was good. Booth the food and drinks were nice. This visit, we stopped by in the afternoon just as happy hour was starting. There was a good amount of people already inside which could be that in between lunch rush and beginning of happy hour. Getting a table was a cinch as we were seating right away on the patio. It is pet friendly which is also nice. Layout of the restaurant is, majority of the seating is outdoor which is covered. There's the dining area inside the restaurant which is pretty small, another patio to the side of that as well as the private room to the side for more of an intimate experience. Mainly the front patio and bar area tends to be the busiest. Staff were all amazing and friendly which is a major plus. Nobody wants to come an establishment where service is snooty and rude. Everyone was a major doll and the sweetest. Our waiter, I didn't get his name was the sweetest. As it was HH, they only had that menu available. Limited but still decent for what was offered. A good selection in cocktails items and for the price, they were great. As for food, same with limited items but pricing was great. They're known for the Mac and cheese with hot Cheetos as pretty much loads of the tables had ordered it. We've had it prior but this time opted out on it. Started off with one of their sangria which comes either red or white and an old fashioned. Both on the HH menu and very reasonable for 7.00 a pop. Cant beat that. Sangria was quite refreshing with the fruit slices while the old fashioned, it was strong. Actually worth it for 7.00. Food, a mixture of things to share. An order of their fries with parsley and rosemary with an aioli sauce for dipping, 8.00. The braised cheddar brat with house mustard, caramelized onions, Calabrian chili with basil and shallot for 11.00. Quite tasty and flavorful with all the topping and served in a nice roll. The chicken sandwich which was quite big. Fried chicken with cheddar and American cheese, chef sauce, pickles on a benne seed bun for 11.00. And lastly the attic cheeseburger with new school American cheese, pickles, grilled onion aioli, caramelized onions on a benne seed bun cooked medium for 12.00. It was tasty but between that and the chicken sandwich, chicken takes the leads. Pricewise for the sandwiches was great. Everything is à la carte on the menu. They do have other main dishes but we just stuck to the sandwiches. Also a second round of drinks was had. The mango margaritas and the classic. Both tasty and for 7.00 a pop, can't beat that. The whole experience was great. Service was excellent and all the staff were amazing. Patio seating is great as it's perfect for people watching and enjoying the outdoor. Until next time.

FIVE STARS IS FOR THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE NOT THE FOOD…read more My friend and I had a good time at the lre- opening night of The Bungalow Kitchen. My friend is a chef, so I really wanted her to experience the new menu with me. First, I have to give credit where credit is due. the customer service was top tier! We were greeted as soon as we walked up, and all of the ladies were so welcoming and nice. The bartenders were super nice as well, as was the GM. And of course, the aesthetic of The Bungalow never fails. The space is beautiful and definitely still has that Bungalow vibe. Our waiter, Devin, was great too! Now, on to the food... sadly, we were pretty underwhelmed. I hate that I have to agree with some of the Instagram comments I had seen about the kitchen because I really expected better, especially with all the hype surrounding Chef Eric and the new menu. One thing that really irked me was that our order of broccolini came out before everything else and sat there for about 20 minutes before our entrees arrived. Our waiter was kind enough to send out another order of broccolini once our entrees came, which I appreciated. They initially added it to the bill, but removed it once I mentioned it. The lasagna honestly tasted like something I could pick up already made from Whole Foods. The pork chop was cooked well, but it lacked flavor. The artichoke dish... I don't even really know what to say. The presentation wasn't great, and we kept pulling pieces of the shell out of our mouths, which was annoying. We had a couple of bites and just did away with it. The mussels were good, but there weren't very many. Mussels are pretty inexpensive, so it would have been nice to have a bit more, especially since they are small. The sauce had good flavor, and we ordered the baguette to dip into it, but it wasn't really a sauce in the traditional sense because it was pretty thin. I think it could have had more substance, especially considering they encourage you to spend $12 on a baguette to dip into it. One other thing I noticed was that Chef Eric was visiting some of the tables around us but never came over to ours. Maybe those were family and friends, so who knows, but considering there were barely any people in the restaurant, I do think it would have been nice for him to make his way around to all of the tables, especially on opening night. I will definitely be back to The Bungalow because I love the space, the people and the drinks. I'm just not sure if I'll be back for dinner. I'm willing to try some of the less expensive items and see how those are. Our dinner bill was around $250, in addition to the $40 we spent at the bar before sitting down. Unfortunately, for us, the food just wasn't worth the bill. Overall, we had a great experience with the staff and the atmosphere, but the food didn't live up to the expectations I had going in. Hopefully, some of these things improve because I really do want to see the kitchen succeed.

So excited to have The Bungalow Kitchen back at 2nd & PCH! We had the opportunity to experience the…read morenew and improved Bungalow tonight during their soft opening and it did not disappoint. They reminded us why we missed this concept from them so much all these years, welcome back! From the host team when we arrived to our waiter Tiffany (who was amazing), the crew here was warm and welcoming. We were at their soft opening so we expected things to be a little rough, but there were moments we actually forgot they weren't "fully opened" yet because it was pretty dialed in already. Minor things are still being worked out but honestly, they were hardly noticeable. Now, let's get down to what I'm sure you're waiting for... the food and the drinks. Without burying the lead, Chef Eric Samaniego and his team did their thing. For a starter we had the Hamachi Crudo which was un-friggin-believable. No joke, it was seriously legit. One of the best presentations of this dish I've had so far... for reals. My wife gave it a 10, I gave it an 11 (yes, I loved it that much). For our mains, we shared the Steak Frites and the Lobster Cavatelli. Tiffany also recommended we try a side of the Broccolini, and we are so glad we did because it was so delicious - 10/10. The Steak Frites were very good. The steak was prepared just right and the frites were seasoned nicely with the beef tallow. We gave it a 9 /10. The Cavatelli was solid, but it was probably the biggest opportunity of the bunch. I enjoyed it but wish I could taste more of some of the other flavors, the tomatoes seemed to overpower it some. We gave it a 7/10. In addition to the dishes, I also enjoyed a Roku gin gimlet which was totally on point. They have a full bar and talented mixologists so you can pretty much get what you want though. Finally, the recognizable vibe that we've come to love at the Bungalow remains. They've added nice new furniture and other touches that give it a comfortable, upscale, yet welcoming vibe. All-in-all, we are excited for what the Bungalow Kitchen has in store and look forward to coming back soon!

I've been here a handful of times and I might be done. I wouldn't argue that the food is mediocre,…read morebut it's not great either. I've gotten fish and chips a bunch of times; sometimes the fish great--but sometimes it is slightly under-fried. Today I tried their fried chicken sandwich and it was not great. The menu described the sandwiches coming with pickled vegetables, but it was very plain. The brioche bun was great, but it's not the selling point. The fries oddly also always come with a teaspoon of ketchup. My biggest gripe is the service. I stopped by to have lunch with my mom. I ordered a soda before we placed our food order. While we looked over the menu, I took a few sips of the soda and finished it. My mom drank her water, and finished it. The server came back and took the order, the drinks were empty and never refilled. Whatever, NBD. However, 10 more minutes passed and I flagged down a different server and asked for a refill. (My server had disappeared). The food came out eventually, my drink was nearly empty again--no refill. The runner asked if I needed anything else after setting the food down and I again asked if I could grab a refill (the server still has not come back to the table). I looked around and he was chatting it up with a bartender leaning against the wall and giggling. Super annoying-- I'm glad the culture here means that the employees are friends and can talk and joke around. I don't need constant engagement, but you can't let drinks stay empty for lengthy periods of time. Half way done with the food, we still had empty drinks. Server never came back, runner never came back. Finished the food and sat for ten mins. Flagged down yet again another server and asked for the check. My server made his was over with the check--tips START at 25%, then 23%, then 20% Our lunch was about $70 (without the tip). This isn't McDonald's. The food was meh and the service was terrible. The cost did not make me feel like there was any value given the lack of attentiveness and quality of the meal.
