    tried the rebrand, Delores, and was delighted! Many of the well-loved staples of Social List carried over. I ordered a vegan burger & rose wine. Karissa took care of me and was kind, informed, and attentive. I will totally be back!

    Great seating options. Outside options w umbrellas and heaters.

    Great food. Amazing service. Outdoor seating w umbrellas and heat lamps. Inside is very classy and warm.

    Short rib melt 4.5 stars
    Coco V.

    This place is actually pretty good. It's a small little restaurant in a less crowded area of Long Beach. Not as busy as Belmont Shore. It's a little dark inside and they play some pretty mellow music. We visited on a Thursday and I guess on Thursdays, it's "Happy Hour" all day. I wasn't very hungry so we didn't get anything from the Happy Hour menu. We both actually ordered the same thing, the short rib melt. It comes with garlic fries. The sandwich is pretty good. It comes with mushrooms and some spicy peppers. I don't do spicy so I kept those out. I wasn't in the mood for dessert or anything but maybe next time. The customer service was good. There was music playing but not so loud that you can't hear each other talk. I'd definitely come back.

    Honey chipotle chicken sandwich
    Patrick M.

    Visiting from out of town, I joined my sister at one of her regular weekly spots where she meets up with friends. I felt lucky to tag along and experience it with them. They had recently updated the menu, so she was especially curious to see what had changed, though disappointed to find that her favorite, the chicken tenders, had been removed. We decided to share the honey chipotle sandwich and the gem Caesar salad. The salad was fresh and the dressing was on point, though it could have used a bit more greens and maybe some bacon for extra flavor. The sandwich was tasty but leaned a little heavy on the honey sauce for my preference. The standout was definitely the fries, perfectly crispy from a double fry, topped with fresh herbs and absolutely delicious. The interior has a warm, inviting feel with wood furnishings, and we enjoyed a nice ocean breeze throughout our meal. Our server was pleasant and attentive. Overall, it was a lovely afternoon filled with great conversation and good food.

    Fig & Blue Burger

    My husband and I decided to go to The Social List around 2 p.m. on a Friday, and it was empty, which was nice. We got a great spot outside, although I do feel like the outdoor tables are pretty small, even for just two people. Still, we wanted to sit in the sun. We started with the coconut shrimp. What made them unique was the seasoning, it gave the shrimp a savory flavor, while the crispy coconut panko added just the right amount of sweetness. They weren't overly sweet like most coconut shrimp, and honestly, they were flavorful enough to eat without the sweet chili sauce. My husband ordered the Backyard Burger and really enjoyed it. His garlic fries were crispy and not overly garlicky; more like regular fries, which he loved. The star of the show for me was the fig & blue burger. It was like eating a charcuterie board in burger form. The fig jam, blue cheese, patty, and bacon all worked perfectly together; sweet and savory in the best way. The only downside was how messy and sticky it was, but that's how you know it's good. The side salad was just okay, but it's a side salad, so I didn't expect much. I'll definitely be dreaming about that burger after my vacation.

    I hate having to leave this as all the other experience has always been amazing. This was the first time we stopped by after the name change for brunch during pride weekend on Sunday. There was already a good amount of people waiting when we arrived. They actually were able to seat us right away on the side where the street was at one of the high top counter. Don't think people wanted those seats. One section was empty which we asked if they could moved the umbrella a little to shade us and the other section. We couldn't sit there as we were told that it was for a group of three that was waiting already and they requested it shaded. Ok, so we can't share the umbrella.... Anyway, we sat down and did move the umbrella a little where it would shade everyone but the hostess came back minutes later and moved it back. And of course, the group didn't even sit there which they ended up putting two other people who didn't even care if the umbrella was there... Enough of that. Service was on the slow side. It did take a while till someone came over to take our order as well as brought over some water. Menu did look similar but I'm not sure if they added new items on the menu. After we ordered which did take a while a drink did come out. I had to walk over to the bar section to ask for a straw. Appetizer did come out pretty fast which was the onion blossom. It looked amazing, a little salty but good. The waiter that brought it out for us, I asked for an extra side of dipping but that never came out. As for the main, the honey chicken sandwich and the breakfast croissant. Well, when the dish came out, one of the order was wrong. Instead of croissant sandwich, it was a breakfast sandwich instead. Server was a little taken back and asked the waiter which they looked somewhat confused. Don't know if it was an honest mistake or they just put in the wrong order. Anyways, had to wait for that to come out. Again, still didn't get any extra sauce which I ended up walking to a table to grab some ketchup instead. One of the server did notice but was like whatever. Rarely did we get checked on until I asked for a refill which was once the whole time. When the bill came, I had to ask again. Not once did water get refilled the whole time till the end. Service was just not the same as prior visit. I don't know if it's new management or just a change in name but it wasn't a nice experience. The food was good I give that but service this time, major fail. Hopefully it's not alway like that. Hopefully, next time will be different.

    Cool place located next to cafes, shops, bars, and other restaurants. It's nice for a day out to walk around and stop for lunch, apps, or an early dinner. We came to enjoy some apps for a light brunch and ordered a bottle of champagne (that came with orange juice or pineapple juice), as well as patatas bravas (savory potatoes dressed in Cajun seasoning and slightly zesty) and brisket nachos - pretty simple and good to snack on. Nice, modern, and airy brunch spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. I think it's perfect for a day out. Well-decorated too; they had cute, funny, and classy Halloween decorations up for the season. The wait time went by pretty quickly even though it's a little smaller of a place. The bartender was cool and the staff was nice.

    Made a resy here post marathon this weekend and they were able sit 14 of us! Great spot, vibes on point, and all the food was AMAZINGGG. Not a single food item disappointed us, and servers were really attentive and nice. The coconut onion ring was delicious and potato's bravas. Got the kahuna burger which was 10/10. Highly recommend coming here for brunch and can't wait to come back!

    Steak Frites

    Dolores truly exceeded expectations. While strolling the happening 4th street in Long Beach, Dolores beckoned me in with her trendy neon lights and social seating floor plan. Though I'd never visited before, I've come to recognize Dolores almost as if she were a friend-of-a-friend at a party where you know no one else- a dependable sanctuary. I'll start with my only complaint- there were too many options. I think Chef Navarro would benefit from a smaller, more refined menu. This didn't keep me from selecting a faithful favorite- steak frites. Chef, I've not stopped thinking about it since I've had it. 10/10. Steak cooked to perfection in a beautiful peppercorn sauce. For any french fry connoisseur, do not miss out on Dolores' 'eczema fries'. For those who aren't familiar with the term, albeit a tad grotesque, 'eczema fries' refers to those flakey, crispy fries that are so few and far between but when plated in front of you, leave you with a fry you search for in every bar and restaurant until you find them again. Despite the reviews, service was kind and sweet. Even if it wasn't, the food was enough to make me happy. Bravo. Can't wait to dine with you again.

    Short Rib Scramble and lemonade
    Elyse C.

    Went during late brunch/lunch time around 1pm on a Saturday, no line or wait and there were extra tables available I ordered the short rib scramble with sour cream on the side and it came with a side of toast and avocado salsa. It was quite yummy and pretty flavourful with the short rib pieces Ambiance was themed to Halloween for the month of October and they played some Halloween music in the background interchanged with some oldies Parking is on 4th street, metered, or in the small lot off of Cherry ave if you can get a spot (also paid)

    10/10!!! me, and my girlfriends went here last night, this is our go to spot lately!! we tried the new taste of Long Beach - Sicily menu items which were the fritters and the linguine and OMG they were absolutely delicious. We also always come here for the heirloom salad and we got some Kung poa cauliflower as well... our tummies were full, and happy!!! also wanna point out that I accidentally spilled my drink all over the place and immediately the staff was there to clean it up help me clean up myself lol and the owner Luis even came over and made sure that I had a new drink and was all taken care of. like i said, 10/10!!!

    Fig & Blue Burger
    Carmen D.

    I'd been meaning to try this place for some time. The atmosphere was nice. It felt like an upbeat place to head out to for appetizers and a drink. We started the order with Brisket nachos. They came out pretty quickly. Unfortunately, they weren't the best. First, the cheese was mainly on one side of the plate with the opposite end being just chips. It had beans and a tiny scoop of guac/sour cream. The taste was okay but nothing I'd be interested in trying again. For the main dish, I was automatically intrigued by the Fig & Blue burger since it had fig jam and blue cheese. The burger was very different (as expected) but tasty. The fries on the other hand were super flaky and were worse than frozen store bought fries. My husband had a burger and fries too and thought the same. Lastly, the place was jam packed and staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, but overall were friendly and attentive as much as they could be. I'd consider trying this place again on a slower night.

    Haven't been here since the name and menu changed. I was very impressed. Definitely an upgrade I was not expecting. Came on a Friday for lunch. Had the Lucca Focaccia, Little Gem Salad and Garlic Herb Butter Grilled Shrimp. The shrimp was one of the best dishes I've had this year. The flavor profile is ridiculous!! If you love garlic and a little heat, you will LOVE this dish! It's one of those dishes you think about. Definitely going back for it and to try the Steak Frites!

It's clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.

We sat at the bar, and I expected to receive service from the bartender, but he didn't acknowledge us for the entire night. Instead, our server took our order. After a while, she informed us that the crispy rice we ordered was sold out. She mentioned that the bartender was supposed to let us know, but he never did. What made the experience more uncomfortable was that the bartender seemed to be giving most of his attention to the Caucasian customers on the other side of the bar. We were the only Asian customers there, and unfortunately, this left us feeling like we were being treated differently because of our race. The good food and drinks helped compensate for the poor service, so we decided not to let it ruin our evening. However, things got even more disappointing at the end. After I paid, I noticed that I had been charged for the crispy rice even though we never received it. When our server tried to address the issue, the bartender appeared to ignore both her and us, so we eventually left. I hope management sees this review and reaches out to me to address the overcharge and the overall experience. Overall, although the food and drinks were good, the service and the way we were treated left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

We stopped by late Saturday night and were able to snag an immediate walk-in at the bar at Hao Peng You, which is the intimate speakeasy portion of Midnight Oil. The decor definitely reminded me of my grandparents' house in Taiwan, with vintage, ornate wooden chairs, dragon/lion statue carvings, and even a historic century old marital bed that had been repurposed into a booth. The drinks were also VERY unique, with my favorite being Hua sheng (literally meaning peanut), which was crafted from a nostalgic childhood peanut milk drink. All our cocktails were crafted very well, to the point where I thought they were a bit on the lighter side since I couldn't really taste the alcohol. This section does get really busy though and only had one bartender who is making/serving drinks and taking orders, so do expect a bit of a wait. Overall, highly recommend checking out this vibey vintage Taiwanese-inspired speakeasy (that my inner history nerd was so excited about), and I'll definitely be back to try their food items as well as their two other bar/restaurant concepts!

The table side where we sat had a sprite glass bottle and a glass that hadn't been picked up since the last party left. We moved it a side to set our drinks and finally enjoy our conversation. A different server came to the table and asked the gentleman next to us to get his empty glass and she completely ignored our side. She did another round and I finally asked her to pick up the bottle that was left by another party before us. I asked her for the menu again, she brought it but she did say that I had go back up to the bar to order any additional drinks. We decided to not order a second round and head up to the terrace.

The bartender who is also the barista was so welcoming. I love the historical aspect of this building and they did an incredible job with the maintenance of it. The marble and gold and earthly tones which are deep and rich! Sigh! They're open til 10pm... I'll be back

    So this is a review that's been a *long* time coming (I've just been chronically overwhelmed for an…read moreequally long time.) I haven't been here often, but I *was* here right around when they opened, wherein I determined that the food ranged from quality but a bit overpriced, to just overpriced, a feeling I would still hold, generally speaking. Great vibe, solid service, but maybe a little pretentiously priced (and/or it's just stupid expensive to run a restaurant in this area, granted.) And with *super* pretentiously-priced cocktails, for how relatively simple they mostly are (if I'm gonna spend $18+ plus tip on a drink, I expect Baby Gee-level cocktails.) They also had an impressive wall of craft beer on tap, but also a bit pricey, especially compared to places not on 2nd street, so there was never a particular *draw*. But then I never actually finished reviewing it, because I'm super behind. Anyway, then also not particularly recently, they launched a happy hour, which at the time, especially for this particular part of Long Beach, was pretty stupidly good, with $5 decent sized smashburgers (6 with cheese, 10 with cheese and also fries), as well as $5 craft beer, pretty much all of them, including the fancy, exciting stuff (exciting if you're a nerd like me, the barrel aged stuff, for instance). They also had one specific half hour at the time, which I'd like to immortalize as a super fun idea, where one specific cheap but craft beer was some stupid price, I think like a dollar, but since they had a whole wall of rotating craft beer, a *different* specific cheap craft beer any given day. That's not relevant at all to my current review, but it was fun. Anyway, I still didn't write a review like a year ago when I took advantage of that happy hour, though I did take advantage of it a solid couple of times. Skip forward again to just a few weeks ago, I happened to be attending an event in the general area again, an event that was going to involve more alcohol than food and for which having a happy-hour-timed dinner in the area was going to be useful, so I figured I'd check out whether the happy hour was still there, and it was. At least as of a few weeks ago, the happy hour (3-6 weekdays) was still a thing, and it had gone up a whopping 55 cents per item. Ends up being effectively ~$17 plus tip for a quality smashburger, quality fries and a craft beer, though they didn't have as *many* of the fancy (barrel-aged or equivalent) stuff as they had the first time, they did still have some, and it was still $5.55 for any beer on draft they had. So happy hour wise, that's a pretty good price for this part of the country, I'd say. Obviously only since the burgers and fries *are* also absolutely quality burgers and fries. Not quite as wonderful as my gold standard smashburger at The Stache, perhaps, but still a great smashburger. My opinion on spending almost 20 bucks for what is effectively still just an old fashioned, hasn't changed, though. :p
