I hosted an event here August 2025 & I really enjoyed my experience with The Loft! The host (I…read moreforgot his name lol) was friendly, accommodating & provided us with excellent service. Booking was easy & his communication was prompt & thorough. The venue is a beautiful blank canvas, the space is clean, there was more than enough parking for my guests, and the venue has a few additional amenities that were extremely useful (fridge, cooler, Bluetooth speaker, restroom etc.)...Overall, I would say that this place exceeded my expectations. I would definitely book again in the future.

Our wedding was a perfectly executed dream come true that was orchestrated by The Modern, and its…read morewonderful team led by Abel and Mary. My wife and I discovered The Modern during a special event right before I proposed, and we knew that if we ever got married, this would be the place. Following our engagement, we had a tour of the place with Mary, and we were 1000% convinced with the place since Mary came with the package lol. The communication throughout the course of our planning was outstanding, and both Abel and Mary addressed all our inquiries and concerns without hesitation and with clear answers. While the conditions of the contract initially seemed rigid, all guidelines and expectations were stated clearly, and both Abel and Mary provided all the support necessary to ensure the vendors understood and executed per the contract accordingly. All terms of the pricing were transparent, and we found the costs to be worth every penny, as we were 1000% satisfied with the venue. Through the course of our two-year planning, Abel and Mary were available and offered the walkthroughs necessary for the vendors and us to plan accordingly and execute an impeccably perfect wedding. Mary did an outstanding job and exerted so much patience with both my Wife and I through the course of food and drink tasting. She assessed our preferences and perfected our specialty cocktails and food menu to reflect my wife, our guests, and I. We appreciated the opportunity to host our rehearsal brunch at their Kitchen and Bar located below the venue. Our guests enjoyed getting a small taste of the delicious food and drinks they'd be having the following day at the actual wedding. The day of the wedding could not have unfolded so perfectly, both aesthetically and logistically. Abel and Mary coordinated and collaborated in unison with our group of vendors, and they really outdid themselves by providing the foundation to our dream wedding, literally. They did an amazing and efficient job at flipping the venue space for the reception. All while our guests were enjoying themselves in the lavish lounge during cocktail hour. The venue itself is perfect. It is very modern, clean, spacious, classy, and their furniture and greenery were the perfect accessories necessary to complete our wedding day. And that's not all. The VIEWS are one of a kind as the venue has an entire wall space made up of windows that overlooks Long Beach Airport and an outdoor terrace that allowed us and our guests to enjoy the views. We literally had airplanes flying up and down during our entire wedding, with a grand exit of us flying off in a helicopter. My wife, our guests, and I cannot believe how perfect the entire day turned out. They will not stop raving about how perfect and beautiful everything turned out. From the food to the drinks and the wonderful bartenders, and of course to how magically, beautiful our wedding was. None of which would have been possible without the fantastic venue, Abel, Mary and their team. While we are saddened to turn the chapter from the wedding planning and wedding, we are so so so happy we chose The Modern. The Modern and team will forever be embedded in our hearts and beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Mary, Abel, team, and The Modern!

I wouldn't normally write a bad review, especially for a place my family and I have loved for years…read more(and I'll happily update this if things improve), but I have to agree with others about the recent decline in quality. I had breakfast here this weekend. The waiters were friendly and attentive as always, and it's nice to see familiar faces. The food, though, has really gone downhill. I'm not a picky eater, but the biscuits and gravy were just... gross. The biscuit was flat and mushy, and the gravy was bland and clearly out of a can or bag. It even had these thin, uniform little squares of sausage in it, more like something you'd find in dog food than the small chunks of fried, browned sausage you'd expect. Biscuits and gravy is like 90% just made of flour, so I have a hard time believing the premade version is actually saving much money over making it fresh. The kitchen already goes through so much sausage that it seems like an easy fix to use real drippings and meat instead of whatever this was. The hash browns were bland too, undercooked inside and overcooked outside. And the "maple syrup" was high fructose corn syrup with brown dye and flavoring. No one wants to feed that to their kids. I'd happily pay a dollar more for real syrup. Everyone's cutting costs these days, but there has to be more pride and care put into the food you serve patrons. We love this restaurant and hope to see the quality back to where it was. The waiters and cooks deserve better ingredients to work with, and the neighborhood regulars who count on this place deserve better too.

After such a great experience, we're already in the process of planning another event here. Highly recommend!

From the moment I…read morearrived, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, who took the time to share the rich history of the landmark, including stories about the Bixby family. Walking through the home and gardens truly felt like stepping back in time. There's something incredibly special about being able to see and feel how people lived in the past--it creates a deep sense of connection and nostalgia that's hard to put into words. For me, the visit was also a moment of reflection--appreciating the lives and efforts of those who came before us, and how their contributions shaped the world we live in today. In such a fast-paced, modern era, it felt especially powerful to immerse myself in a place that preserves history so beautifully. I even remembered visiting here as a child, and coming back as an adult gave me a whole new appreciation for it. It's more than just a historical site--it's an experience that invites you to reflect, learn, and reconnect. I highly recommend visiting. It's a beautiful reminder that Long Beach is full of incredible history and hidden gems worth exploring.

I felt comfortable and at ease indoors, and the outdoor section seemed very comfortable as well. I went with a rather large party, and at least half of us seemed displeased with our dishes. The portions were generally on the smaller side, inconsistent, and lacking in flavor. That's not to say it's all bad though, the prosciutto melon appetizer was savory, and the lasagna and the mushroom ravioli were satisfying! I did order a tiramisu ladyfinger cake which I was a fan of as well. The service could have used some improvement. I don't believe we were offered refills or asked whether anything was needed after we initially received our orders, and it did not seem particularly busy to the point where the waitstaff would be incapable of dropping by. All things considered, La Traviata was enjoyable in some aspects but it was not much to write home about.

On the personal side, I organized my daughter's sports banquet there. Everyone loved the food. It was a barbecue menu, and folks commented on how much they enjoyed it. They provided outstanding food and service at a price within our budget. They made the whole day easy and memorable for the team and families. If you're looking for a venue that handles the details well, serves tasty food, and has staff that genuinely show up, The Grand is worth your time.

Would NOT book for a wedding! The food was great and the…read moreset up staff hauling chairs and tables were kind and hard working. The organization the week of and during my wedding was AWFUL. We had no staff member present for our wedding rehearsal to answer questions, literally no one was there. Not our details coordinator nor our 'venue captain.' The venue captain they presented as in charge of your whole day, all venue details of your wedding, was terrible. They said they assign them the week of and she would reach out to me the week of to go over details, but that never happened. My wedding day they assigned me a girl who no showed, another girl who no showed, and then our actual captain who went over our wedding details 30 minutes before my wedding and she said all she was in charge of was food. Our DJ lost power, she made no effort to fix it, we had to fix it ourselves! We requested our desserts be kept warm in silver chafing dishes in two different details meetings and the day of. The day of our details coordinator said we never talked about that (not true) but would do it. Our dessert was served ice cold in neon green serving trays with our wedding cake, VERY disappointing. When we went back for second plates all of our staff serving food and captain were huddled talking in the kitchen rather than being ready to serve us. The soda fountain we paid $400+ for was soda cans in a small metal ice tub. Booking they say they give you two hours to set up before your wedding. Not true. They start setting up their part two hours before and once they had all the tables down then we could set up. They say they are transparent about booking in the same space before you. They didn't tell me they booked a baby shower until 3pm when my wedding was at 6pm until I asked the day before. **If you book, negotiate to be the only booking for that space** A two hour set up right before our wedding was awful! We had to set up in full hair and make up and missed many first look opportunities. The worst part was after working like crazy to get it all ready right before we walk down the aisle, our details coordinator brought in other potential clients to show off the space. Instead of ensuring our desserts were taken care of. Would not recommend for a wedding.
