I am perfectly impressed. My husband picked this Michelin star restaurant for our anniversary dinner, and I had some doubts. Did we need to go that fancy? Did we need to drive to Long Beach? Yes, yes we did. Wednesday at 5pm, that's where it's at. Wine bottles were 50% off, what a deal! Since my husband doesn't drink, I just had a glass of the orange wine, which was perfect. I wish my second (half) glass was comped since I turned down (what I assume was) complimentary champagne for our anniversary, but oh well. I just feel like places that are generous make the experience feel so much better. But I'm being greedy. The ambiance was great. A few reviews complained about the decor/bathroom/noise, but it was pretty empty when we were there so I found no issues with that! Service was perfect. Everyone was so so friendly and helpful!! Timing of the dishes was perfect. Silverware replaced every time, and they accommodated my half glass of wine request when a second glass felt like too much. And the food. Of course, 5 stars. I'd give 6 if I could! I've never had such flavorful, thoughtful dishes. Like the apple on the crudo, perfection. The romesco was out of this world! I was nervous about duck but it was so tender and sweet and savory! The desserts were amazing. The cabbage was yummy! Everything was so so delectable. We will come back for sure! read more

Let me tell you about this place! I'm a person who lived in Long Beach for over 17 years and had experience the evolution of Long Beach and its food scene. I remember that house on 7th street being a card reading establishment, who would thought that would be a great place to get a Michelin dining experience? We arrive at 5:28 two minutes before our reservation and they receive us to proceed to seat us and offer us drinks, the service is just amazing and the detail that they have to the customer it's on its way to be top notch Food was great something to remember about for a good time The wine pairing was perfect and the notes of the wines complemented the mea just extraordinarily The experience took us around two and a half hours to complete and it was finished by two amazing and delicious desserts read more

We came in for our first visit tonight for date night. Everyone on the staff was so great and the food was amazing! For dinner they do a four course pre fixe menu for $75. - oyster in dashi broth - hamachi crudo - pork belly - dry aged duck (my favorite) - rack of lamb - marshmallow ice cream with honeycomb crumble (this stuff is heaven) - passion fruit pavlova Everything was prepared perfectly and not only were the proteins cooked to perfection, the sauces and veggies in the dishes paired perfectly together. I cannot wait to come back here again! read more

From the outside the restaurant looks like a house (maybe it was initially?). There is Valet parking for $25, but we opted to look for street parking and found one a street over. It was pretty packed, and parallel parking skills are super helpful. It was very casual but the service was amazing and the servers were very knowledgeable. The music they played were very nostalgic for me; lots of 90s hip hop. 1st course: Dungeness Crab Tart - started of strong. Very good, the crunch of the tart helped with the smooth texture of the crab. There was also avocado on the bottom! 2nd: Beets with peaches, cucamelon - I'm not a fan of betts but this was actually a very good way to present beets in. Not too much, but still is the showcase ingredient. The peaches added an extra flavor to the dish. 3rd: Brown Butter Endive - This was unexpectedly delicious. It had so many layers to its flavor and so many different textures. This is probably my favorite dish; I wanted to lick the plate! 4th: Black Cod with 1500 year old beans - This was disappointing. The fish was cooked well and the skin was crisp, which added a good texture. However the whole dish fell flat to me. The chard were large and hard to cut and the bitterness lingered, and didn't have enough acid to cut it. There wasn't much flavor as well. 5th: Country Loaf with cultured butter & salt - Good bread and butter, but nothing super special. 6th: Iberico Pork with truffle jus - This made up for the 4th dish. The pork was super tender, and the truffle just added that special touch. The morel was also a pleasant surprise. 7th: Pineapple Froyo - I'm not a fan of tangy/sour desserts, but if you are you would love this. It was very tangy with lots of different textures. 8th: Caramel Corn Pavlova - This was an explosion of confusion. I personally was not a fan. The corn cream I wish was a little sweeter. The addition of the pavlova added a random sweetness that didn't match the corn flavor. 9th: Watermelon Pate de Fruit - Think expensive Sour Patch. I wish they gave more of these to take home! haha Overall, my experience was great with awesome service. I just wish the desserts were a little better. Regarding desserts, I think it's good to explore flavor combinations, but sometimes it just doesn't work. read more

I really wanted to like this place - I'd seen good things online and booked it a month in advance for my dad's birthday. Service - Things started off quite rocky, we arrive on time for our reservation and were told to wait. Several couples were able to get seated ahead of us, and we ended up getting to our table 20min after our reservation time. We waited another 20min before receiving our first dish, and then things dragged along even further. We were at the restaurant for 2.5 hours for just the dining component. Food - The flavors were generally good, food was well-executed, but the dishes can be quite misleading, ie the Black Cod and Abalone contained a 0.25in cube piece of abalone. I don't mind paying for good food (and I'm quite used to NYC prices actually), but I don't think it's right to have a long menu where a slice of bread or a gummy deserves a whole line item. TLDR; not great value, especially if you consider there are far better options if you just drive up a little to Venice or Culver. read more

Amazing food and excellent service. We had a private lunch dining experience. Serving 40+ people can sometimes be a challenge especially for quality. This place did an excellent job. The owners care about customer service and were very visible. Servers were very attentive with water and wine! Food was an exceptional experience. Truly farm to table. Some is from their local farm and others from a farmers market. The freshness shines through. Combinations of flavors were amazing. The beet salad was served over yogurt with strawberries, cucumbers, pickled cucumelon with mint and basil. Truly a talent and art to put these all together. Entree was Salmon with pearl pasta. Ending with a chocolate chip cookie gooey and yummy! Highly recommend dining at Heritage. I plan to bring my family here. Parking is street parking on 7th. We found a spot. Typical for Long Beach. May have to park and walk. read more

If you're looking to impress, make a reservation at the new Michelin-star recipient, Heritage, nestled in Long Beach's historic neighborhood Rose Park. This venue not only holds a Michelin star but also proudly displays a green Michelin star for its commitment to sustainable dining. A quick tip: Heritage has two addresses in Long Beach, so confirm you have the right one; one location is a delightful restaurant and the other, a picturesque venue ideal for small weddings and events. Inside a Craftsman-style building, Heritage offers a fresh and relaxed ambiance, somewhat like visiting a friend's Nordic home. Seating is limited, creating an intimate and sophisticated dining experience. highlighted by a ballroom adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows and hanging green plants, offering an intimate setting for about a dozen guests. The restaurant showcases a detailed approach to gastronomy, emphasizing local and seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby farms and markets, including bread from a local bakery. The six-course menu, priced at a reasonable $110, offers an elegant and delightful dining journey with the option of a perfectly paired $60 wine accompaniment. The wine list might not feature widely recognized labels, but it promises refreshing choices that harmonize wonderfully with the dishes, many sourced from small vineyards in Sonoma. Highlights of our meal included a beet starter that managed to avoid any earthy aftertaste and a cabbage dish that echoed the expertise seen in creations by chef Josiah Citrin. The standout was undoubtedly the scallop course, paired with a delightful fish roe sauce that everyone raved about. The ribeye entrée was skillfully cooked to perfection, leading to a refreshing mango sorbet and ending with a Pavlova that pleasantly lingered on the palate. In summary, Heritage is a space where fine dining meets sustainability, offering a memorable Michelin experience without a hefty price tag. It stands as an excellent choice for a romantic and immersive culinary outing. read more

Everything you've heard is true: the food is sublime. The wine pairings inspired. The vibe relaxed. The service outstanding. I couldn't wait to try it and our dinner at Heritage did not disappoint. The menu included fresh ingredients that burst with flavor and our server, a level 1 sommelier was knowledgeable and friendly which only added to our conversation and enjoyment of the evening. Yes, it's pricey, but it's an experience, not just a dinner. read more

We did not have a very pleasant experience here after all 3 of us diners fell ill 20-30 mins after finishing the meal. The price of the prix fixe seemed way too high for the quality of the meal, dishes were underwhelming, not to mention caused us severe GI distress as soon as we got home and discomfort continued through the weekend. We left a voicemail with the restaurant and sent an email. We are all seasoned diners and I have never had this kind of a terrible experience at a Michelin restaurant. read more

We celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary at Heritage and it was better than expected. The ambiance was excellent. The food was fantastic. The service was superb. Nick did a great job serving us. We've been in other Michelin-rated restaurants before, but this experience was the best. What put it over the top for us was the background music. You would think that a Michelin star restaurant, such as this one, would play classical (i.e., Bach) or may be some smooth jazz (i.e., Earl Klugh). We were not expecting old-school hip hop and rap (Biggie Smalls). Fantastic! Looking forward to another round! read more

I wanted to try this place after they got a WELL DESERVED star. It was totally worth driving all the way from LA for this feast. The food made me so happy :') They accommodate vegetarians and pescatarians. I chose the pescatarian menu and my boyfriend had a regular menu which had a ribeye dish instead of bass. It's a really cozy place. You can tell that the building used to be someone's residence. The only thing I noticed is that it is very loud in there. You barely hear the music because people talking are super loud like it's a bar. It probably didn't help that we were seated right against the wall. Anyways let's talk about the food which is most important (duh). Fermented pineapple soda - they saw me scooping and eating those pineapple cubes from the glass and gave me a small cup of tasty pineapple cube gems!! I wish I asked for a straw tho, since all the sweet syrup stayed at the bottom of the glass and I kept stirring with my fork lol Beets - love the flavor profile. The yogurt brings everything together nicely. Pickled persimmon added such gentle tartness. Tasted like one of those dishes that you think could make at home but it's actually pretty impossible. Cabbage - I'm still daydreaming about this cabbage dish. The char gave such nice depth to the flavor. Such badass of them to put sauerkraut soubise under the charred cabbage. Cabbage on cabbage never tasted this good. My boyfriend said it reminded him of elote. It's the char and the creaminess. Yum. Scallop - it's the thickest creamiest scallop that melts in your mouth. I feel like the scallop flavor was very subtle. I still enjoyed it a lot. My boyfriend got a $15 caviar bomb right before this dish which was fun! (I'm not a caviar person because it always tastes too fishy pungent for me, but i kinda regret not trying it.) Bass - who knew striped bass and lentil could taste so juicy and flavorful. Bomb. Sunchoke ice cream - ok. People at heritage are savage. In the best way possible! Who says "what should my next ice cream flavor be? Sunchoke". I like sunchokes, I like their toasty nutty dirt flavor but to experience it in an ice cream form was on another level. The crunch of praline was perfect. It kept every bite unique and fun. Chocolate cake - I was kind of surprised to see chocolate cake on the menu because tbh it sounded too basic lol but then it was almost like a deconstructed cake, not a slice, and was drizzled with passion fruit seeds which gave nice fresh tartness. chocolate cream was nice and fluffy, it didn't feel heavy or too sweet. It was a perfect way to end the meal. My boyfriend enjoyed wine paring for $60 which is a steal!! This place made me so so so happy. I can't wait to come back in a different season for a different menu! read more

Heritage is the best of both worlds. Fine dining food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. They are serving up some seriously good food in an unassuming space which doubles as a sandwich shop by day. The four course prix fixe menu changes with what's in season. Kudos to the chef who clearly brings a deep love of food and an adventurous spirit to their work. An added wine pairing is available for a pretty reasonable price or order your drinks a la carte. If you want to try something in addition to your chosen four courses, you have the option to add on to your meal. I recommend dining with friends so you can order the whole menu and share. You're going to want to try everything. The current menu boasts a beet starter unlike anything I've ever seen. Yes, there's the traditional roasted beets and yogurt, but then add basil oil, strawberries, and a cucumber granita (!). I didn't think the rest of the dishes could live up to it, but the seven day aged duck gave it a run for its money. The whole ensemble (polenta, French lentils, peaches) was delicious but the wine soaked grapes were an amazing and unexpected treat. Despite the low-key vibe, the prices are spendy but on par with the quality. Plan your next special occasion here, you won't regret it read more

Not a big place, traditional 6 courses. You can choose to do caviar for $15 per person and paired wine. The first dish was really fresh 2 entrees were good The blood orange froyo was my favorite, love that they served it right after the steak ~$200 per person read more

amazing staff, food, wine and experience! loved our visit and will definitely come again

Friendly servers and amazing food! There are dinners you forget before the Uber drops you off. And then there are nights like this -- where the food, the wine, the people, and the little unspoken moments all stack up into something you actually remember. Heritage in Long Beach is the kind of place that doesn't just feed you; it seduces you slowly, one perfectly executed bite at a time. read more

I went recently and given the considerations of the Michelin Star, and price point, I was underwhelmed. The food was definitely good, but out of the six courses the only one that impressed me (and seemed worthy of a Michelin star) was the cannon ball cabbage dish. The scallop dish was good but didn't wow me, ribeye was standard for any decent restaurant, and the dessert courses seemed a bit flat to me, especially the sun choke ice cream which had a particularly heavy / chalky mouth coat similar to days old home made whipped cream. Service was above average and ambience was great, albeit very loud. If there wasn't so much hype around this restaurant, or the price point was lower, I may have given 4 stars. I'll revisit upon a menu refresh. read more

My hubby and I typically don't venture out this way but we were in the area this week for work and we decided to come here for dinner after seeing their reviews on Yelp. Heritage is a quaint little restaurant that looks like you're walking into a friend's home with an aroma of a home-cooked meal. We had reservations for dinner and we're seated by the window. We enjoyed a pre-fixe meal for two ($70/pp) and opted for non-alcoholic drinks as it was a weekday. I got their house-made Blood Orange soda which I asked to be less sweet, and it was perfect, and my hubby got their lemonade. We enjoyed a Deviled Egg as an appetizer, the Heritage Pork Belly, Hamachi Crudo, 7-aged Duck, and the Milk & Honey ice cream and Pavlova. Everything was really tasty, especially the Pork Belly and Duck! It was cooked to perfection and paired with a delicious sauce. The Hamachi Crudo could have been a little better -- the sauce wasn't as flavorful as we had hoped for. But overall, it was a fantastic meal. Great and friendly service as well! Would recommend this quaint little spot for anyone who appreciates fine dining with an unpretentious feel. **Just a note** They require a credit card to hold your reservation. read more

We were excited to try this spot after we read that it just received it's first Michelin star, and also being that it was the first restaurant in Long Beach to have one! The restaurant is located in a neighborhood street, in what looks to be a house, (so Long Beach), which added to the experience. So cool having a gourmet meal in what looks like just a random neighborhood street. The food of course was all so unique and amazing. We loved everything we had, and the service was great. It definitely felt it gave the Michelin star experience. We will be back again for another special occasion soon. read more

My friend n I were going to a show locally so stopped in for a bite on Thursday . Little did I know this is exactly what we would be receiving. Bites ,albeit amazing . We were fortunate enough to have arrived really early and to be seated promptly. The host slash server was super friendly and attentive. Refreshing actually, used to restaurants at this price point to be stuffy . Not so at Heritage. Well the Starter bites , these were amazing so had two servings ( this took care of the tiny portion issue ) . But dish after beautifully prepared dish that followed were a treat as my guest kept repeating. Along with OMG , and a few more adjectives. This is a quaint space , a retooled home. Small from what I observed and probably could get pretty loud . For me was a fantastic experience. Will definitely return with close friends as this GEM is something to share. read more

Terrible . One of the courses was a slice of sourdough with butter. The butter wasn't even salted nicely. It wasn't even toasted. There was nothing significant about the dish. The trout was very undercooked. I took a bite and couldn't continue eating it. The waitress took the plate noticing I didn't finish it and didn't ask if anything was wrong. But I split it open to show it was undercooked and she recognized it too and made a shocked face. But still no verbal recognition. The pace of the meals was incredibly slow. To the point where a server apologized for the delay. 30 mins to receive dessert and it was stale. My husband and I agreed it was our worst meal. I'm now sitting on the toilet with the runs because of the fish. Lovely. read more

My son treated me to this fabulous restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed the Tasting Menu which included a different wine with each course. Our 3 hour dining experience was first rate. Our server Nick was very knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Beets and cabbage dish blew my mind! Who would think I would ever rave about these two random veggies?! The beets dish was just so refreshing, I am now a huge fan of cucamelon (1. Because it's so cute and tasty 2. I love saying the name). The cabbage salad blew my mind with how much flavor was packed in! I loved the other dishes as well, especially the scallops but I think the first two were my favorite. I am so glad Long Beach has this little gem in its city, I look forward to returning to see what they come up with next. read more

Delicious. The door gets stuck sometimes, so you have to nudge a little, but they're open, open, open. My friend and I shared: -cherry tomato salad ($8): bocconcini, sunflower seed, pesto -rancho gordo beans ($8): chorizo, house creme fraiche, cilantro -smoked Santa Carota brisket ($17): pickles, slaw, garlic aioli on a country loaf All the sides were rather small, but stupidly good - the Rancho Gordo beans were out of this world. The house creme fraiche melted into the bean stock and it was damn good. My sandwich, on the other hand, could have been better. The brisket was nice and smokey - lots of flavor, however, I'm a slow eater. The country bread became real soggy because I couldn't eat fast enough to keep up with the slow soak from the slaw. My bad, but sucks to suck. Perhaps there should be a shield of something to keep the bread from becoming soggy because otherwise, was a dreamy bite of brisket. Oh, and the fat. I couldn't deal with the pieces of fat. Super cute Long Beach spot. I highly recommend coming here. read more

Lucked out with movie star parking out front. No valet needed this time. Flawless service - attentive, but not intrusive. Highlights included: generous portion of scallops (this is how seared scallops should taste and feel), "the best mussel I've ever had", and the ice cream w/ caviar dessert. I had the wine pairing and enjoyed it; great variety and generous pours. Fine dining with friends is my guilty pleasure. Thank you to the team at Heritage for a memorable meal and evening. read more

Food was good... but was it Michelin good? No absolutely not. Not even 1 star Michelin good. It was good for a normal average restaurant, food was cooked well but frankly nothing I couldn't find elsewhere. For example, their duck dish (though good) can be found in many other restaurants. Tasted like a well done duck from a Chinese restaurant. Shrimp chip and dip... felt like any other shrimp chip with fancy shrimp aoli sauce. Wine pairing .. eh, nothing outstanding. Final verdict Food: average (below Michelin average) Ambiance: below average. Price: not worth it. Michelin prices for non Michelin caliber food. Nothing innovative or special. Would skip it. read more

Absolutely wonderful experience. Our server was nice and knowledgeable. First three courses were fantastic. Our favorite was definitely the wedge salad. Their Caesar dressing dressing was to die for. The place is quaint and clean with simple lines. Great place for a date. The tasting menu is only $110, which is a phenomenal value for 6 courses. The only dish I wasn't a huge fan of was the parsnip dessert. I appreciated the effort, but it didn't feel enough like a dessert to me and I LOVE my sweets. Would come back in a heartbeat though. Hats off to the chef! read more

Heard about this famous Michelin Star spot. Had to see if it lived to the hype. AMBIANCE Parking: Street parking so it can get tricky but there is about two spots in the back reserved for the Heritage. I would recommend carpooling or ridesharing. Seating: Inside seating from bar seating or small groups. Feels: It's off of the busy street of Cherry and in the heart of Cambodia Town. It can be hidden with other houses/apartments so keep your eyes open but it looks more maintained than the rest. The spot itself is great. It kind of reminds me of a family-run bed and breakfast inn set up but not really. It was clean, minimal with lights dimmed. The spot is decorated with plants and randomly organized books. This spot gave me date night vibes, catch up with a friend, or a solo unwind. FOOD: We did the four-course meal and the menu gave us four sections with different selections. Portions were rightfully small so my partner and I mixed and matched our orders Mushroom Cappucino (Recommend) Like no other! Lovely presentation. A tiny cup with mushroom cream foam. A very warm umami broth to warm up our palate. Local Rabbit Pappardelle (Recommend) Yum! Green pasta with white sauce with savory cheese flavors and a hint of lemon tart kick. The rabbit has a slightly rough texture which makes it different from your usual meats. Octopus Confit (Recommend) Well cooked! The octopus was great but I never had it mixed with beans. It's an odd mix for me but this worked well. Diver Scallops (Recommend) Yummm! Scallops are always delicious! This experience was pleasant. Soft, sweet, and smokey. In ways, it reminds me of bacon scallops. 7 Day Aged Duck (Recommend) Delicious! Not too gamey but they told us aging it makes the gamey-ness fade. It was pleasant! Savory with multiple textures from the crunchy skin to the juicy chewiness of the meat. The lentils helped bring balance to the meatiness. Campo De Montalban (Recommend) Great! Though it's not my personal favorite, I can appreciate it. In laymen terms - bread, cheese, jam, and a leaf. A light treat after a series of bites. This might be better mixed with wine. Pavlova (Recommend) Yum! Quite an experience indeed. This light foam-like yet sweet biscuit mixed with sweet custard and fruit jelly. Delicious! CUSTOMER SERVICE: Fantastic! Friendly people - professional and kind. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Love, love, love. This was a pleasant experience. Aligning it with the Michelin rubric, this was definitely a Michelin experience - fresh food, unique flavors. I definitely would love to come back here to try out their other dishes. Tips: * Menus change seasonally * During the day time, they're a sandwich shop. * https://www.longbeachize.com/articles/heritage-attic-michelin-guide-california-los-angeles-does-it-matter-addison read more

Perhaps a bit overhyped to be honest. There were only two dishes that really blew me away as part of this $110/person, 6-course menu when I went on 1st September: - Farm beets: Burnt strawberry, cucumber, granita While I'm a fan of beets (they taste like dirt to me no matter what), I didn't think this was a terrible dish - a refreshing starter; I quite preferred the strawberry, cucumber, and granita, and wish there was more of that, with maybe potato to balance it out as a neutral ingredient - Canonball cabbage: Sauerkraut soubise, Caesar, brown butter [My favourite] Absolutely loved it - like a giant Caesar salad but not quite; the fermented aspect had a lovely balance with the brown butter and a great portion size too - Grilled diver scallop: Crab, corn, farm squash [My favourite] I had no idea how large the scallop was going to be but this was not only cooked so well (tender/soft) but seasoned wonderfully with a hearty amount of crab, corn, squash, and sauce - Iberico pork shoulder: Polenta, fennel, jimmy nardello The pork shoulder came off as a tad salty, but the polenta had a wonderful cheese-y balance to it; I did like the chilli as well as the side salad it came with - a good balance of flavours - Toasted sunchoke ice cream: Sunflower seed praline, caramel, banana [My partner loved this] The praline was delicious and I wish there was more of it; the sunchoke flavour was a new one for me and everything went very well without being overtly sweet in any way - Pavlova: Parsnip pastry cream, grape The cream was delicious, but the Pavlova itself was extremely sugary for my taste (although that is the ingrediente in this dish). Didn't do the wine tasting, but that is another $60/person. You also get a choice to do a caviar bump betwen the scallop and Iberico plates; we didn't do it, so I don't know the price or quality for it, but I'd much rather just buy caviar from the store instead. Heritage used to be listed as a sandwich shop, but they only do a tasting menu - that's it; so when you make a reservation it's solely for that and you have an option to add on wine pairing for each course. They recently received their first Michelin star along with the Michelin Green star for sustainability, and I fully understand why they deserve the latter with their farm-to-table, seasonal-only menu - that doesn't mean automatic 5-stars though. Since this is in a converted Craftsman home in Rose Park, the dining area is split into two parts - a left (through the entry door) with the open kitchen, and a right that's away from the open kitchen. You only get a clear view of the open kitchen and the kitchen staff if you sit in the left-hand room and its staff hard at work. The service was part odd and part wonderful. Upon entering - make sure to go through the door that says "Entry" -, we were not greeted by anyone immediately. We had to walk in past a table on either side before someone (the hostess) noticed. I gave my name and we were led to a second area (what may have been the living room) to our table. The hostess gave us the tasting and drinks menu, and let us know that our server would be along; our server was great. She took our drink order and then every time a dish came (either our server or the food runner) would explain what it was. Special shout-out to our server for removing the candle from the small table because the scent and heat were bothering me. No questions asked; super considerate. I do have to note that it did take some time between plates, so I wish that the dishes were more closely spaced instead. The ambiance is meant to be casual-cozy, but the dining room is poorly organised with one side feeling more spacious and the other feeling extremely cramped. I'm a very petite person and ourtable was very small table - looking around, I felt almost claustorphobic. The table was solely aesthetically pleasing faux marble with wicker chairs - not at all comfortable. And, even worse, they kept the second door (facing the entry way door) open, causing all the street noise to filter right in, making everything louder and causing people to speak louder - I had a hard time hearing my partner speak. The decor is extremely minimal, but that's fine; anythign else would make an already cramped space more cramped. Where is the soundproofing? A/C? Very dismayed with this entire experience. Parking is extremely hard to find - it's all street parking in a residential neighbourhood. There are two spots with the house, but they get taken quite early (given they open at 5 p.m.). If you want to experience a neighbourhood Michelin star restaurant for the sake of saying you have, then I suppose this checks that box. I won't be returning for the price tag and don't recommend it for the price & quantity. Mind you, the same menu (with slighlty different items) used to be $60/person last year, so that price jump is not justified to me; now (late September), the menu on their website has 6-courses but is $120/person. read more

Just ate the most amazing dinner at Heritage. This is definitely the best restaurant in Long Beach. Every course was delicious and their wine pairings were on point. I called a few days before and asked if the first course could be altered because I just can't eat beets and they gave me a cucumber course. The sangria was so refreshing. Desserts were decadent but not too sweet. We can't wait to go back read more

First time dinning at a Michelin start restaurant and what a experience! the staffs were super friendly! they don't rush you to finish your food if you're enjoying the food. The waiter, and waitress's are very knowledgeable on the wines and the foods. This place has been on my yelp bookmark for years and I have finally treated myself to this place. It's aodern European restaurant, with 6 course and optional wine pairing. I asked the waitress if I should do the wine pairing since it is my first time, and Marissa said, absolutely! Marissa was so awesome! Most of my friends wouldn't come here here because most fancy restaurants are known for small portions and food presentations, but you only live once right? I showed my food photos to my co workers and they are willing to come.. I got to talk to one chef, and their menu changes seasonally. so, if you come here during the summer, you will get different sets of food! this is a fantastic place! only bad part is parking.. if you want street parking, o recommend you come early, unless you want valet parking read more

My husband took me here to celebrate my birthday and, let me just say, I'll be thinking about that meal for a while! I do miss Heritage as a sandwich shop (RIP pork belly sandwich and deviled eggs), but their tasting menu really delivers and flows well. Marissa was our server, but every staff person took great care of us. Each dish was delicious and beautifully presented without being pretentious. The candle and card they added for my birthday was a thoughtful touch. Long Beach is lucky to have this little gem. I look forward to coming back! read more

Location surroundings aren't ideal but the simple minimalistic interior with farmhouse touches are endearing. Service was attentive and friendly with a casual vibe.

Our biggest complaint here was how slow the service was. We were seated about 15 minutes after our reservation time and had to wait outside while it was pretty cold. After this we had what felt like long waits between each course they brought us. The food was good but we were definitely left hungry and actually went to get in n out later after our meal as it was not filling for us. I enjoy a slow meal and enjoying the ambiance and company but for us it was too slow and dragged on with small bites followed with waiting for a long time for the next dish. read more

Intriguing. The restaurant is super cute and set in a unlikely neighborhood (it has parking) The plating? Great. The cooking? Superb I was blown away. The concept of the meals were average flavors wise. Consistent with a 1 star michelin but nothing more. I sat on the side with the open kitchen and the lighting and decoration needs some work for a proper atmosphere. I would = this to a 1 star michelin though I think there is serious potential in the place (did I mention my bass was cooked perfectly?) Drop by if in the neighborhood. I look forward to watching it grow read more

We are mostly plant-based in our lives but we wanted to celebrate a dear friend's hard earned promotion. He's long thought about visiting this restaurant since he lives nearby. Heritage is a Michelin-starred restaurant. We've been to our share of 1, 2, and 3 Michelin-starred restaurants over the years so our standards are high. I'm giving them 3 stars in this review because I felt the service and ambiance were so so when we're spending $300+ a person for food and drink. Thankfully, the food was the best part of the experience. We tried both wine pairings and enjoyed talking about each course and how it tasted with each wine. The Hen of the Woods was by far my favorite of the tastings. Though the Rainbow Trout and Crème Caviar were very tasty too! Overall, an interesting experience and an enjoyable time with loved ones. If you're looking for Michelin-starred experiences, there are better places in SoCal. But, if you're looking to support a local Long Beach place run by passionate people who create good food then give Heritage a try. read more

Heritage - The Tasting Menu at Heritage in Long Beach - Modern European Near Me - Long Beach, California

My wife and I dined here, based on the recommendation of friends of ours. The place is near our home, but I would take Uber/Lyft next time because the parking is not great in the area. The place and the menu are small. But the food and flavors are amazing. We both had the 3 course tasting menu, where we each picked a starter, a main and a dessert. We shared the roasted beets and smoked pork belly as starters. Both were really good. The beets had a herbs to balance them out, The pork belly was amazing. The polenta and apricot worked very well with the sweet and smoky pork belly. We shared the 7 day aged BBQ duck and the Natural prime hanger steak as mains. Again, both lovely. The plum and cherry were a nice accompaniment to the perfectly cooked duck. The vanilla parsnip purée worked really well with the duck and fruit, The beef was lovely with the artichoke purée. And we shared both of the dessert offerings. The Saint Agur cheese with a kumquat was a nice first dessert. The sweet corm Pavleva was a sweet and tasty end. This was simply a great meal. They now have a liquor license. So they have wines by the glass and drinks as well. We really enjoyed our meal. The service was great. This is a little gem in the LBC and we will be back. I'd just take Uber or Lyft the next time. read more
