STEPH JUDGEMENT: Cool, new, and spendy, but nice ambiance and service right by the beach. We hadn't been riding our bikes in this direction in a long time so we had no idea that this place was going up until it was already up and running! We happened to stop by on a cool and misty morning so we didn't get the full value of their beachside locale, but it was still fine. We weren't terribly hungry so we ordered to share: - Seaside asparagus (very yummy, but hard to mess up deep-fried anything) - Greek salad (fresh and tasty) - Malbec sour cocktail (very unusual, very good) - La Dama cocktail (very pretty, a little on the sour side) It was a very pleasant light lunch, and the service was great, but it was on the pricey side. They're trying to get people to order strictly online via QR code, and there was plenty of waitstaff on hand to help out. On our way out we noticed their takeout window and couldn't resist getting a Spinach and cheese empanada and their Chimichurri habanero sauce ($2 extra). Very, very good! The concept here is that you can dine in the main area with full service or just hang out on their public deck and get take out. It was kind of weird that you can't order the empanadas or the cafe stuff from the sit down restaurant area, but it was not a dealbreaker. They offer an OK amount of vegetarian stuff, but not that much vegan. Overall a promising first experience--We'll be back when the weather's nicer! read more

After spending the morning at the aquarium, we walked here to get lunch. None of us had been here before, but we were drawn in by the menu and the location right on the beach. We ordered the Korean bites, calamari, gaucho salad with salmon, lobster omelet, and a couple of kids meals with fish and chips. The food was very good here. The Korean bites were excellent with regard to the flavor, but not tender. It seemed that the omelette was excellent as it got eaten very fast and the salmon salad was very fresh..The kids fish and chips was also a winner. This was a great little find with reasonably priced food that was tasty, quick service, and a nice ambience. read more

This place is one of the must locations that everyone should try! Very beautiful and modern restaurant with beautiful ocean view next to the walking and bickering and beach area. The first thing that I really love in this place was QR code on each table. By scanning the QR code you can see the menu and directly order the whole foods for the table thru that. The price of the food was really reasonable and good. We ordered the most popular foods, two of them were the steaks and those were exactly as we order how to cook! The food was super delicious and good. Since the process of ordering the food was thru the phone everything was corect and we didn't have any issues with the servers and they provided us a very good service and food arrived really quick! Definitely will be back to this place and recommend everyone to put this place in your must go list! read more

On a busy Sunday we were able to fit in a reservation for a table. We had a lovely server who happened to see we had been waiting to order for a while, so she came over and took our drink order and notified us she would let the server in our section know. Once the drinks came out and we sat for a bit she noticed we still didn't have someone come by to take our food order. She ended up being our server despite being busy throughout the rest of the restaurant with her other tables. She still made sure we had what we needed and was very attentive. I would like to thank Emily, our server for really stepping up and making our experience wonderful. I think if it hadn't been for her we might have left. We hope to have her as our server again soon. read more

I gave it 3 stars because the food took FOREVER to get to us, but our waiter, Theo was fabulous and very attentive and tried to keep us calm since he saw that we were antsy waiting for our food orders. When our food FINALLY came I got the entraña and my friend got the lobster omelette (which didn't have much lobster!) and we had the mimosa (bottle of champagne w/pineapple, pomegranate and cranberry juices!). Overall our meals were delicious, but they need to work out the kink with the food service and be more prompt. It's a beautiful place right by the beach!

Gaucho beach is a new beachside restaurant and bar in downtown Long Beach. Great views of the Queen mary and the downtown skyline but this concept was not a favorite of mine. They don't have servers to take your order or anyone to come by the table to greet you or say hello. You seat yourself and order from a QR code then someone brings your beverage and food. Very impersonal way to dine. We sat at the bar and no one said hello to us or acknowledged we were there. The food came out quickly once we ordered and the flavors of the burger, steak, and salad were good but the service fell short. I had higher expectations for this place and was disappointed. read more

Gaucho Beach is literally perfection! The views, the vibes, and the food all make this spot a perfect 5 star reviewed restaurant. When in Long Beach you have to come to this restaurant. Gaucho Beach is a fun little outdoor/indoor restaurant nearby the water. This spot is fun as one side is more Togo style order at a counter specializing in coffees and empanadas and then the side we were on is a more sit down style restaurant. It was unique though as there isn't full wait service. You get your own waters from a communal jug and then you order your food to be brought to your table through an online menu using a QR code. Definitely young and hip in that respect. There are staff that bring you your food and clear plates but it's definitely a more hands off vibe. We didn't mind at all. What is cool though is they also have a beautiful bar located in the middle so you can grab a barstool and order craft cocktails to your hearts desire. Despite not having formal service everyone was really nice here and the food did come out fast despite being very busy by 11am on a weekend. Next time I definitely need to come back to try some of their fabulous looking cocktails as that was the only thing I didn't try from the menu. However, the food was all A+. Delicious, fresh, and portions were beyond generous for the price. We did a girls brunch and everyone was in love with their meals. This spot is a crowd pleaser and the menu was diverse enough for our different tastes. There wasn't a bite I had that I didn't like. Calamari appetizer: get it! 5/5. The batter was freaking delicious, a nice hint of salt and flavor. Super crispy and well cooked. I love when they serve calamari with the rings and the baby squid legs and such. Nice variety of textures and flavors + a great dripping sauce this was an awesome way to start the meal. Probably one of the better calamari's I've had in a hot minute. I ordered the skirt steak brunch and it was the best brunch dish I've had this year! No joke it was WOW, speechless. My skirt steak was cooked to perfection, a beautiful medium rare and the portion was huge. Ordered with some over easy eggs and it came with papas and a cute little side salad this dish was IT! I'll be raving about this one for awhile. You must get this if you come here and just aren't in the mood for seafood as it's a great dish. But on a seafood note they also execute their seafood dishes to perfection. My friends had the fish and chips and the fried crab sandwich and both gals were super happy with their dishes. This place isn't a one trick pony, everything is good. When in Long Beach this new spot is an easy A+, please support this new business and let me know what you think. read more

Stopped by for brunch during a slower time, so it was self-seating. While that was convenient, it seemed like the lack of assigned servers led to some service issues--we felt a bit overlooked. My girlfriend and I ordered the mimosa flight, but it was delayed, and other tables who arrived after us got theirs first. The staff did make up for it by bringing us an extra mimosa on the house, which was a nice gesture. I ordered the skirt steak brunch and asked for it medium, but it came out well done. When I sent it back, they recooked the steak and potatoes, but not the egg--so it came back cold. The Chipotle aloe sauce that was supposed to come with the potatoes was also missing. My girlfriend ordered the chicken breast, which was cooked very well and had great flavor, but she wasn't a fan of the rice that came with it. On a positive note, the meatballs were a 10/10--definitely the standout dish. Overall, the food was okay but could use a bit more seasoning, so it's worth asking for salt and pepper at the table. The vibe and atmosphere were great--just wish the service and a few of the details were a bit more consistent. read more

Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup.

They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it.

TLDR; It's expensive, and not worth the routine visit, but worth the one-time stop in to experience the festivities. The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie is somehow even more decorated and extravagant than you'd expect from a seasonal pop-up. The line looks long outside, as there are no reservations, but it moves quickly since they hold everybody to a pretty strict 2-hour time limit. The drinks are good, the cups are cute, and everyone is festive. It's an all-around fun experience. I think because of this, you do pay a premium price tag for food and drinks that are just good or okay. I think it's something that is worth the visit if you've never been and you enjoy getting into the Christmas spirit. I think that outside of the pop-up, The Ordinarie is a fun spot to check out in Long Beach. It't not a pillar of the food scene if you're a tourist, but it is a good, late night spot if you work in the industry nearby. They have a great late-night menu with a killer smash burger.

Located on the Promenade with both indoor and outdoor seating. Just like the original location, they have blankets out should you need a little extra coziness during dining. This was a mid-week visit and they weren't very busy, so solid service was to be expected. The starter of choice was the Brazilian Cheese Bread. This gluten free bread is so so so delicious! This was the first time, i've had it served pipping hot. It was even better than I remembered. I rarely order pizza at a place like this, but sitting inside, with the pizza oven in view, I just went with it. Overall, fabulous! I had pear (instead of figs) and prosciutto. Best part was the perfectly cooked crust. I paired this with a Farmers Salad which I also enjoyed. I'm glad we have this new location in downtown LB!

The way it works is you order first, then wait for them to seat you once a table opens up. It was super busy, so there was a bit of standing around while waiting for a table. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of that setup, but honestly...the food made it completely worth it. What we ordered: * Almond croissant * Ube cruffin * Lemon ricotta pancakes * Breakfast burrito with bacon * Side of potatoes * Strawberry pistachio matcha * Cinnagave shaken espresso Everything was absolutely incredible.

First, a heads-up: parking in the area can be a bit of a challenge, so plan ahead and expect to look for street parking. That said, once you arrive, everything runs impressively smoothly. You'll stand in line to place your order at the register, and then they'll seat you. There are two seating options, an indoor patio and an outdoor patio; both with a really cute, inviting vibe. What really stood out was the thoughtful Mother's Day touch. While we were in line, they offered champagne and gave out roses, white for mothers who are no longer with us and red for those who are. Such a beautiful and meaningful gesture. Once seated, drinks came out quickly, and the food followed shortly after. I was genuinely impressed with how efficient and well-organized everything was, especially given how busy it was. For food, I ordered the Dutch Baby, and my companion had the Bailey's Breakfast, both were delicious and well-prepared. Between the great food, charming decor, and amazing service, this place really delivered. I'll definitely be back.

Bristy, our server, thoroughly explained the details of certain dishes such as the Mac & Cheetos. She also checked in on our table throughout the meal and came around often to refill our water. As for the food itself, it was very delicious. My favorite dish was the artichokes. They had a somewhat smoky flavor and the outermost leaves were crunchy and a nice contrast to the soft inside of the artichokes. They were also served in a tangy sauce that complimented the vegetable well. My friend's favorite item was the macaroni and cheese. It was chewy and creamy, and the pasta, which Bristy informed us was made in-house, was what my friend thought elevated the dish because it was a nice texture. We additionally ordered the gumbo which was also tasty but not as yummy as the other two dishes that we ordered. It is not a spicy dish if one is concerned about spice level. As for the ambiance of the restaurant, we enjoyed how the atmosphere felt casual and almost like you were sitting in somebody's house (the wallpaper and interior design is pretty) while still maintaining an elegant aesthetic design. If I was in the area, I would return to The Attic for dinner. My friend and I had a very welcoming and positive experience in terms of the service and food respectively at this establishment.

There is inside seating what looks like a converted house? There is outside seating at tables or at the bar. The menu was interesting which had a theme of shrimp; there was eggs Benedict with shrimp, but not an item to order a regular one without it? Sure maybe could have ordered and asked without shrimp but pay the same price? Pass. Ok when I called they mentioned they serve brunch until 3? 3:30 I can't remember. The server mentioned they serve the brunch all day? Either way when I got to ordering this month on the menu it highlighted the shrimp po boy. I tried to order and nope, out. How can you be out of the item highlighted as the special in the middle of the day? When the place is not packed? I tried to order the lobster roll and again, out. I was tempted to order their short rib poutine since in theory it sounded good, but at this point I tried something simple I would hope they have in the kitchen chicken and waffles. The plate came and it looks good. If you look at the picture at the bottom of the chicken you can see a dark something. As I lift my chicken I found a huge burnt piece of breading pictured next. On top of the chicken is green onion I think? Who eats that with chicken and waffles? If I am wrong, a garnish is totally unnecessary for this dish. The chicken was moist. There are spices in the flour breading I can see but hard to taste what it is. The waffle is a hard pass for me. The waffle was crispy which is good, but also thin and dry and I couldn't taste any sweetness until I put maple syrup on it. The syrup came out warm which was nice. It's clear watching the people at the bar this is a local hangout. The chicken and waffles were $19 which if I was in the bay I think it's about right, but I think a little high considering the level of food I got. Supposedly this place is packed specifically on Sundays. The server doesn't know why? I'm not interested to even try to come back for a second chance and just be told sold out of the menu.

I've been walking by this charming beachside restaurant for months, and its stunning ocean views have finally convinced me to give it a try. The colorful buildings and lively atmosphere have made me curious about the delicious food and sunny spot it must offer. When parking, it's a good idea to download the Passport app, if you plan to go before 6pm especially when parking enforcement is out in full force. This way, you can pay for your parking spot quickly and easily, avoiding the risk of receiving a ticket in the time it takes to get back to your car. By paying for your parking through the app, you can ensure that you're not stuck with an unexpected fine, and you'll also be supporting the city's efforts to streamline parking payment processes. I was taken aback when we had to sit ourselves at a table, it's not something I'm used to at a beachfront restaurant like this. But, considering the stunning ocean views and the fact that it was a weekday, the lack of assigned seating wasn't a bad thing - it added to the casual, laid-back vibe of the place. Our waiter was friendly and enthusiastic, but it took a bit of time to get their attention - we had to wait for a while before someone came to take our order. Despite the delay, her demeanor remained warm and welcoming, and she made sure to check in on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. The pineapple Margarita was a decent drink, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. While it did taste like pineapple and had a unique blue color, it wasn't particularly impressive or memorable. Having had better versions of this cocktail in the past, I'm not sure what the point of the blue color was, as it didn't add to the overall flavor or experience. Overall, it was just an average drink that didn't stand out from the rest. The Gaucho burger was a solid choice! While I opted for medium-well, it came out slightly more rare than expected, but the juicy half-pound beef patty still packed a flavorful punch. The combination of melted provolone cheese, fresh tomatoes, caramelized onions, and spicy habanero chimichurri on a toasted brioche bun was absolute perfection. The tangy kick from the lemon aioli added a delightful contrast to the rich flavors. Despite the slight misstep on the doneness, the Gaucho burger was good, but wouldn't get again. The steak and chicken empanadas complicated were excellent! The steak was tender and juicy with a nice char, while the chicken was crispy on the outside and tender within. Both dishes were well-seasoned and allowed the natural flavors to shine through. My sister wasn't too thrilled with the fish and chips, unfortunately. She found the batter to be overdone, giving the fish an unpleasant texture. To make matters worse, the fish was prone to bursting with juice, which was a bit messy and unappetizing. The tartar sauce, which she thought would add a nice tanginess, ended up being off-putting instead, with a weird taste that didn't complement the dish well. Mixed reviews for sure do not know if I'll return. read more

arrived at the restaurant at approximately 3:55, waited for 10 minutes in the hall beside the bar for someone to acknowledge that we were present. we stated we would like a table for dinner and were told by the bartender take any table that's open. So we did five minutes later someone came over and cleaned the table and asked if we needed assistance.. we said we had come for dinner and she said I'll send over the waiter... 10 minutes later, the waiter arrived, and we told him we would like to have a menu.... He proceeds to find a menu and brings one menu for three people..... that's right one menu for three people.... we look over the menu and order two steaks, and one salad and calamari...... Approximately 15 minutes later, a server, not our waiter brings steak and the calamari..... Anticipating that the other stake was forthcoming, I was mistaken.... After requesting to see our waiter after 10 minutes, we asked where the other steak was..... said, let me look into it.... Five minutes late he shows up with the second steak..... The steak that was served to me was un edible..... I tried my best, but I just could not eat the steak...... I asked the server if he would send the waiter to me so that I could show him what my problem was...... after a five minute wait and no waiter I decided to go to the bar and ask for the manager.... I explained to him what the problem was and he could see that the steak was un eatable.... he did refund the money that I had paid for the steak....... I only wish that I would not have included a 20% tip for a waiter that was non-existent..... but that's what happens when you have to order pay for and include the tip before the meal is served..... this is a poor poor policy....... So buyer beware if you plan on using this restaurant, I wouldn't pay before you see what you are about to receive.... with the service and food as poor as it was presented to us this restaurant will not be around very long..... There are too many good restaurants that deserve our patronage.....Carl read more

Can't even begin to describe how awful this place is!!!!! As a former employee for Almost a year... If only you all knew what was taking place behind closed doors!!!! To start You wouldn't believe the amount of CROSS CONTAMINATION happening here. The surfaces food is prepared on is absolutely disgusting and never ever ever cleaned or sanitized. They don't even wash dishes with soap or sanitizer and only spray them off and run through the machine with water. Health Code Violations? Ha! Long Beach is Notorious for Health Departments not doing their jobs and being paid off by places like this that are owned by the city. The amount of rodents and bugs and disgust in and around this place would make anyone never want to step foot near here again. This place seriously needs to be shut down immediately due to HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS The owners of Guacho? Who are they? Management? Who are they as well? Who actually controls what's Happening here? The amount of corners being cut to just make money is insane. There is no management and employees are left constantly having to pick up the slack of the business. Employees give inventory through group chat to a manager and that manager then gives the order to his manager and then that person doesn't order what's needed on time for the business to have what's on the menus and then the employees are left telling customers we're out of items. This has been going on since the start and has not changed. I could literally keep going and going and going with how horrible this place was and is. The amount of employees you see come and go, the lacking all around from everyone is ridiculous. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF LONG BEACH SOMEONE SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!!!!!! YOU ALL ARE BEING FOOLED I PRAY NOBODY GETS SICK OR DIES!!!!! THE AMOUNT OF FOOD POISONING HERE IS ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE BUSINESS read more

If you're looking for a dining experience that combines stunning ocean views with great food, Gaucho Beach is the spot to be. Nestled right on the beach, the location is unbeatable, offering a fantastic view that sets the perfect tone for a relaxing meal. The ambiance is warm and inviting, matched by the friendly and attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Now, let's talk food. I ordered the Blue Cheese Burger, and let me tell you, it was a showstopper. The patty was huge, tender, and juicy, packed with flavor in every bite. Paired with fresh, golden fries, it was a burger experience worth savoring. The Calamari was another highlight--crispy, perfectly seasoned, and totally addictive. For drinks, Gaucho Beach doesn't disappoint. I tried their Old Fashioned, and I might just say it's arguably the best in Long Beach. My coworkers were equally impressed with the Inferno Margarita, which they couldn't stop raving about. Not everything was perfect, though. The Artichoke and Feta Dip was underwhelming--not terrible, but not something I'd order again. On the other hand, the Pollo Frito Chicken was absolutely delicious, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors. Unfortunately, they were out of the Lobster Roll, which came highly recommended by our waitress, but hey, that gives me a reason to come back! All in all, Gaucho Beach is the total package--great food, an amazing beachfront view, and a vibe that makes you want to linger. Whether you're grabbing a casual bite or celebrating with cocktails, it's a place that delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended! read more
