    I came here for Oyster Hour (Tue-Thur 4-6, Sat-Sun 3-5) which had an amazing deal for $1.50 oysters and there were other happy hour dishes as well. It was a hot sunny day so we were hoping to sit inside with the AC, but unfortunately there were no AC or fans in the restaurant and the outdoor seats didn't have shade. The food was decent, but the overall experience was marred by how uncomfortably stuffy it was in the restaurant. Here's what we got: Brussel Sprouts ($11 during Oyster Hour) Absolutely delicious! The brussel sprouts had a beautiful char and a mix of sweet and savory flavors from the brown butter saba and sausage. Oysters ($1.50 each during Oyster Hour) Fresh, plump, and refreshing. Came with horseradish, mignonette, and cocktail sauce. Tagliatelle ($26) Ragu had a rich depth of wine flavor. The pasta had a good texture and tasted homemade. The portion size was small though. Chitarra ($29) The pasta was cooked well and had nice texture, but the chili made the sauce too spicy and overpowered the basil pesto. The portion size was small as well. All the Things Fries ($12 during Oyster Hour) Decent loaded fries, but nothing special. Overall, I would still go back for Oyster Hour to get oysters and try other happy hour dishes, but on a less hot day and sit outdoors.

    One was over salted, the one with truffle oil was the best, the other lacked taste.

    5/5 for Oyster hour which was amazing! $1.5 versus the normal $5.5 is definitely worth it. 5/5 for Service from the entire staff. 5/5 for ambiance. We sat outside and it was great. Once it started getting dark, they turned the heaters on and had enough light for seeing your food and being with good company. 5/5 for the side of whipped butter and side of bread. -5/5 for the loaded fries. Don't get these unless you have money to burn. They were $12 during the happy hour and they had what looked and tasted like melted cheddar sliced cheese on top of their fries sprinkled with their sauce and some sesame seeds. This was the most disappointing thing we ordered. 3-4/5 for the remainder of the food. Pasta isn't as fresh as it should be for the price and most of the sauces were completely over salted. The side of crab dip although real crab meat, was a very small portion for happy hour. Not sure if it's differently portioned for normal hours. Brussels sprouts were delicious with their sausage. They should use this sausage in their pasta... if it happens to be the same then they need to cook it separate as the sausage in the pasta is a soggy mushy texture instead. All in all, We had a great time. Would definitely come here again for oyster hour!

    Let me say this was a surprise , a good one. A small restaurant tucked along the neighborhood blocks from the beach. I've seen it a few times but never had the chance to try it out. It was on the list but something alway came up and we never made it. Well, we happened to walk by and was like what the heck. We're here let's try it out. It's a small restaurant with a nice cool clean beach vibe inside and a simple patio just outside with tables and heatlamps. We arrived just after happy hour which they're known as oyster hours. And let me say, the name explain itself. There were only three tables utilized when we arrived at the patio but by the time we ordered, it was completely full. People arriving minutes after each other and I'm sure it was for oyster hours. Self explanatory, oyster happy hours. For 1.50 a piece, that can't be beat. Pretty much every table had a dozen or so. Besides that, they also had a good happy hour menu on both drinks and meals. Also the regular dinner menu was quite impressive. A mixture of everything. But we were here for happy hours. House wines were 8.00 a glass and a dozen oysters were shared. They were quite tasty and served with horseradish and cocktails sauce. Simple eats but very delicious. We could have had more but we already had plans for dinner. Looking around, everyone had oysters on their table. The main attractions as it's known. Besides that, all the other dishes that were coming out all looked amazing. Fish and chips and their salads looked quite delicious. Service was excellent. The gentlemen that was taking care of everyone was excellent. Extremely friendly and professional as well as busy taking care of everybody. Just from this first visit, I must say it was great. Now I know what oyster hours is all about and finally nice to try it out. Next time, a meal. Highly recommend.

    So my cuz is leaving g town and so we wanted to celebrate. They take reservations; have a great little patio and it's a quaint family owned place. We loved it! Definitely would return.

    Burrata with Parker House Rolls
    Vala R.

    I've been to Ellie's many times and the food is always outstanding. Our family favorites are the bone marrow board and the Burrata with Parker rolls. My daughter especially loves all the fresh pasta and this is her request every year for her birthday. I love their little outside patio we've sat there in all kinds of weather and it's always been fine. As someone in our family is hard of hearing, sitting outside is much better as inside is very loud. Service is always a question mark for me here. There is nearly always some misstep. This time, despite our reservation, they did not have seating for us. They accommodated us by placing us on the side which was okay, but required some gymnastics to get in and out of seating. It also was impossible for servers to get around table. So that being said, we regularly go back. Food is worth it.

    SALMON TARTARE - PUTTANESCA, GREEN GODDESS, PISTACHIO
    Juan G.

    Did the 6-course prix fixe at Ellie's and it was honestly such a solid experience. Every course felt intentional and well-paced -- nothing felt like filler, which is rare with prix fixe menus. The potato croquettes were crispy and creamy with a bright herb sauce, and the salmon tartare was fresh, clean, and really well balanced with pistachio and herbs. The pasta course was rich and comforting without being too heavy. For mains, both options delivered -- the New York strip was cooked perfectly and paired nicely with the roasted vegetables, while the sea bass over hummus and chickpeas was lighter but still packed with flavor. Dessert was the perfect way to wrap things up. Huge shoutout to EJ -- his customer service was amazing. He explained how they do this prix fixe every Monday and also mentioned they offer brunch, which I didn't even know about. We also did the wine pairing he recommended, and it was a 10/10 -- every glass complemented the food perfectly. The music was great, the atmosphere was on point, and the only downfall is parking -- so come early or just Uber and save yourself the stress LOL. Other than that, everything was a win. Would absolutely do the prix fixe again.

    We went here for date night on a Saturday and we had a good time. The place is very cute and although it was a little windy that night, we opted to sit outside and enjoy the cool breeze (the heaters helped though lol). We ordered a few items to share including the crab dip, Wagyu tartare, potato croquettes, and since they're known for their handmade pastas, we also ordered the gnocchi. Everything was tasty and the gnocchi was very good. We paired it with some wine and it was perfect. Street parking may be a little challenging but it's worth circling around and taking a short walk. Happy eating!

    Wagyu Tartare
    Brigitte M.

    It's all about the pasta ... Came here for a date night, after making a reservation, and it was great. We ordered the Wagyu tartare, tagliatelle, and the short rib pasta. Tartare was a great start, being super flavorful with great texture. Tagliatelle was our favorite of the two pastas, with both pastas having nice chew, but the sauce of the tagliatelle was super flavorful, with a tad of spice and good. Short rib sauce was just real meaty, which is great for true carnivores like my boyfriend, just preferred the tagliatelle from a flavor dimension perspective. All the staff were efficient and swapping roles, which was cool to see. We will be back.

    Ellie's has yet to disappoint! We came for brunch this time around and the food was just as memorable as the dinner service. Everything was delicious as per usual...the staff is friendly and helpful, the location is small and intimate but clean and airy. I'd happily come back any chance I get whether it's for brunch or dinner!

    roasted garlic pasta
    Theresa Q.

    I was so excited to try this place based on some good buzz from a couple girl friends. Had a dinner reservation for 4 on a Friday night and we were seated inside right away. This place was jumping. First impressions...the waitress was wearing a casual sweater and casual jeans with a couple holes in her back pocket. She looked very sloppy. The waiters were dressed down in black with jeans, some with spilled food on their shirts. Do waiters not think we notice? We were seated near a window. As I was facing the blinds, I noticed how filty they were. Zoom in on my posted photos. It appeared as if a brown liquid splattered and dripped all the way down these two blinds. It looked old and dry, as if the filth had been there for days. Gross. I started to look around for a restaurant rating from the health department. Couldn't find it. Then my eyes glanced around the rest of our seated area...chipped paint in several places on the corner wall over my guests shoulder, and 4" chip of paint hanging on the entrance door jam. Dirty glass windows. Yuck. One of my table guests pointed out a large stainless steel refrigerator across the room which looked like the door was hanging crooked and broken. An odd site for guests to view out in the open. Do the owners think people don't notice? Now onto the food. The $10 bread and butter was so enjoyable with the creamy butter spread and pickled onions, though the bread was burnt in some areas, (which we left behind on our plates, leaving us less to eat). Be prepared for the dishes to come out one at a time. That's always a downer in my book. The hamburger came out first. After two minutes, we told our guest to start eating so it wouldn't get cold. He was halfway done eating when my angel hair pasta came out. Man did they over do it on the chili's. The heat overpowered the dish, even when I took all the chilies out. It was a very poor balance, Mr. Chef. The third dish to come out was this same dish except it was ordered without the chili's. My guest shook her head and told me it was too bland. As we compared our dishes, we noticed her dish had more pasta and less lobster. She counted three, yes only three pieces of lobster -- and, I witnessed it! I had much more shrimp and lobster than hers and less pasta. We commented to each other THIS DISH WAS NOT WORTH THE PRICE! What's up with not having duplicated consistency with your dishes Mr. Chef? My last guest ordered the Pasta dish with roasted garlic pomodoro (can't remember the exact name). He said couldn't taste the garlic. I asked to sample it. Yep, I totally agreed! He was so disappointed with the portion size and was complaining that he was still hungry. Here we were, over $150 later and all NOT SATISFIED with our experience. The four of us all agreed, sadly we will NOT be back.

    Bone-in short rib agnolotti view 1
    Derick C.

    I was perusing new places to think of trying and stumbled across this place. Took my friends here to end the day with some bomb food and here's my thoughts. I love the aesthetics of this place, it's got a good balance between simple/homey and classy/modern. It reminds me of the small restaurant/cafes in SF where it's cozy but not too loud that it would be overly stimulating. We arrived nearing dinner time and ended up having to wait about 40 mins for our table to be ready. Here's the food: Oysters & Scallops on the half shell: The Scallops were fresh and delicious, but my nitpick might be trying to emphasize the freshness of the scallops more as the accoutrements seem to be the main star. It comes with a little bit of heat in the accoutrements but I don't think it's too bad that someone who has some spice tolerance can't handle. Normally you'd have to get 6 minimum, but since they ran out of oysters, they waived it. Baked Parmesan Cavatelli: I was looking for a simple dish to end the night as I wasn't feeling too peckish. The dish was the right choice. garlic confit permeated and infused itself into the sauce giving it a rich and in depth flavor. It would go great with some extra bread to change up the texture though, I feel slightly conflicted on the bread crumbs myself. The cavatelli was cooked to al dente. Bone-In Short Rib Agnolotti: Easily the highlight of the dishes that night. The short rib was cooked bone in for a couple of hours, when it had gotten to our table, it was practically falling off the bone! For the price, I think that it was definitely worth it! Angel Hair: My other friend asked for a custom order as she couldn't handle spice well, but we didn't realize it would take 20 - 30 minutes because the spice was infused into the sauce and they needed to make a batch specifically for her. Other than that, the angel hair came out amazing to my friend. I would say that with it being a seafood pasta, there wasn't that much clams and lobster in it. No pictures to back it up unfortunately. Garlic bread: This was comp'd by the manager because of the long wait we had with our pasta earlier. I loved the garlic bread. I'm not normally a bread person, but the bread here was divine, the bread was freshly made as the inside was still moist and accentuated with the crispy exterior, freshly grated parmesan, and olive oil They ran out of gnocchi when we went unfortunately as that was the dish I was most excited to get. Next time if I'm in the area, i'll have to give them another try. There's no parking at Ellie's itself, we had to resort to looking for street parking.

    Hanger hash

    This place rocked in so many ways! The weather was perfect to sit outside and we got there just when it opened and people were already waiting. There was a very nice waiter handling the busy morning, it would have probably been best to have 2 on a Sunday brunch morning. We ordered several dishes and had it family style. Here is how they ranked Beet salad 5+ perfection Breakfast pasta 5 creamy goodness Hanger hash 5 steak & eggs cooked to perfection Side of bacon 3 fatty and a bit too salty Omelette -1 dry as a bone and not as luxurious as one would think with caviar and bousin cheese accompanying it. Great place but definitely avoid the omelette! Bummer

    I took my mom here for lunch Friday afternoon. The service was nice and the ambiance was very quiet. The pastas were delicious and very flavorful. I will definitely be back for dinner because I saw other pastas I really want to try.

One thing I noticed immediately was how deceptive the space is from the outside. You walk in thinking you're stepping into a small Italian bistro, and then it just keeps unfolding room after room until you realize you're actually in a large, incredibly lively space. Each room we passed through seemed to gain even more energy. There seemed to be birthday dinners, family gatherings, and just large groups of friends celebrating everywhere, and the whole restaurant had a genuinely festive feel without feeling overly loud or chaotic. Service was fantastic. Our waitress felt less like restaurant service and more like a friend helping the whole table have a good night. Everything flowed really naturally. Timing was great. Drinks stayed full. Plates never piled up, and even little moments that could have felt imperfect somehow just added to the warmth of the experience. We ordered family style for the table and honestly every single thing disappeared. The Burrina pizza and Romana pizza were both excellent. The Caesar salad was fresh and balanced. The lasagna was a hit, and we also ordered a white pasta with fennel sausage that nobody could stop eating. We even had family visiting from Ecuador with us, and everyone cleaned their plates and had a great time. We skipped dessert because we had cake waiting at home, but judging by the number of tiramisus passing by our table, we may have made a tactical error there. The only real challenge is parking. Broadway parking is Broadway parking, and locals already know the situation near the beach can get rough quickly. If you live nearby, I'd honestly recommend Ubering or walking if possible. This immediately went onto my shortlist for large group dinners in Long Beach.

While it was never my personal favorite, I continued going because my wife enjoyed it. Unfortunately, our experience on Sunday, May 3, 2026 definitively closed that chapter. We arrived around 5:45 pm, at a time when the restaurant was clearly not busy. A young gentleman at reception greeted us warmly and was about to seat us, but was abruptly interrupted by a woman who directed us--without explanation--to sit along the wall. We waited there for about 10 minutes, despite a clearly prepared table sitting ready just a few feet away. When we were finally seated, it was at that very table next to the reception desk. Throughout the interaction, the woman showed no courtesy--no smile, no "please," no acknowledgment, and no "thank you for waiting." After years of patronage, this level of indifference was disappointing enough to ensure we won't be returning.

Hubbie ordered the portobello stuffed ravioli in a creamy marinara sauce. I stabbed one quickly before he could jump in. He loves mushrooms. He loved it as did I. And he's not a pasta guy (or rice for that matter). I was surprised he put such a dent in the dish. Terramasu (sorry for the spelling) for dessert! So smooth! I took most of it home I was so full after such a great dinner. It's after 11pm now and I couldn't sleep without finishing it off. Domenico's has been in Belmont Shores for decades and the atmosphere is quaint, traditional decor with private booths. Now that I've FINALLY tried this Long Beach staple, I'm planning on going back with family and friends. Great job!

This is where my mother and I usually have beef with each other (yes, a steak joke). Because we each want it cooked a different way. But it came out nicely done, we were both happy. Scott definitely knew what to tell the chef about how we wanted it cooked so we were both happy The drinks I ordered came out extremely fast Both drinks were amazing -cosmopolitan -espresso martini (decaf) The- BISTECCA DI TOMAHAWK Which is a Grilled 52 oz Bone In Ribeye Steak, Italian Chimichurri Sauce, Roasted Carrots and Homemade Spaghetti Romana (the pasta it came with was absolutely amazing) And, as far as tomahawks go, this was very reasonable price wise. Also, it came with pasta and carrots. Most places just sell the steak by itself and you have to pay for sides -they brought out a complimentary bread basket -we also ordered a side of broccoli -we did not order dessert, but they did bring out a complimentary birthday dessert The service was great The building is beautiful The atmosphere was great The food was amazing Overall, I would come back, but I would reserve it for special occasions. I'd love to come back and try their pasta

Next brunch visit we definitely plan to try the Dutch Baby Pancake as a shareable! Service is always great and very attentive. The roof top deck has great ambience and a wonderful place for brunch. There's a nice bar with comfy seats and a fun place for a drink. Happy Hour is returning after Father's Day. We loved going there on Sunday afternoons for pizzas and wine. Excellent selection of wines! They are also offering Bubbles and Shells (Sparking Wine and Oysters) on Friday and Saturday nights! Our food today, Michael's Burger with handout fries, N'Daju Toast, and The Benedict. Cocktails today, Ciacco D'oro and a Mimosa. Cappuccino and coffees were great. Cocktails at Michael's are excellent. Definitely one of the best places in Long Beach for a cocktail! Creative and consistent. The burger is the best one in town if you are craving that juicy type of burger, which I was. Done perfectly. I order it rare, they know how to serve it rare! Now served with handout fries instead of chips, still amazing! We finished our meal with a wonderful Gelato, on the house! Mint chip and just amazing! Looking forward to more Brunches and of course happy Hour!

    I chose this restaurant for my friend's birthday dinner. It was an excellent Italian restaurant…read moreperfect for celebrations without being overpriced. Right from entering the hotel lobby we were met with a beautiful restaurant that made me feel confident I had chosen the right place. The lighting, the table settings, the decor, all culminated in a beautiful restaurant for a wonderful evening. We had the special spinach ravioli which was divine, and the carbonara (was great but slightly salty). The cocktails were absolutely delicious, i highly recommend the old fashioned and the nettuno spritz! The calamari was fantastic, and the bone marrow was okay and awkward to eat. Our waitress was amazing and provided top-notch service that made my friend feel extra special, especially with a complimentary dessert for her birthday! We didn't expect that and felt extra cared for. Will definitely be back for more special nights or just on occasions where I'm craving a high quality meal and experience.

    Disappointed that the upper restaurant was closed on a Monday which led me to nettuno…read more Service was impeccable. Wine recommendation was outstanding. The food was fine. Salmon w broccolini was delicious and was devoured. The calamari appetizer was disappointing as it was flavorless without the spicy tomato sauce and the zucchini were soggy and limp. From a 4 star meal down to 3.5. Servers, bussers, etc. were all prompt but didn't make me feel rushed. Hostess was friendly. Hospitality piece of the experience was flawless. Ambiance is cozy, upscale and classy. Dimly lit with plenty of space between tables for privacy. Saw a couple celebrating their anniversary here along with business travelers dining during their stay. Would dinner again but the upper restaurant will remain my first choice.

    I would give the food 4 stars but bumped it up to 5 because of the customer service. I'm not…read morecertain if he is the owner or the manager, but someone walked around asking each table how they're doing, and stopped and welcomed me for my first time eating there. That was very much appreciated. This is a fun casual spot in 2nd and PCH shopping center, so you get 90 minutes of parking free here. You order at the counter, and they bring you the food pretty quickly after. You can eat inside or outside, both are lovely options. You basically pick your pasta type and sauce, so it's kind of a create-your-own-dish. They also have weekly specials and a few other specialty dishes on the menu. I will say, the lasagna looks to be the dish to get. The person next to me ordered it and the dish was massive. Looked delicious! I got the pappardelle bolognese. Pappardelle is my favorite type of noodle, and they make a great pappardelle here! Perfectly toothy. The noodles themselves were 9/10. The bolognese didn't have the deepest flavor I've ever tried, but it was solid. I loved the beautiful plate that my pasta was served in. I would definitely come back here. It's great to "make your own dish". It's a fun spot right along the water as well.

    Still 5 stars, absolutely perfect meal. It's such a great vibe for a date night. It's cozy,…read morecomfortable, not overly pretentious given how good the food is. I've eaten here a few times and the food is always exceptional. I have to call out that we had the focaccia, and I am a massive bread snob, and it was PHENOMENAL. Not greasy at all, gorgeous crust, fluffy interior, drizzled with a nice quality olive oil and served with a marinara I wanted to bathe in. Service is exceptional as always, the gals working were truly so sweet. We'll be back soon, this is truly such a gem.
