I've lived in Long Beach for over four years now, and for some reason, every time I drove past A…read moreRestaurant, I always thought, "It can't be that good." I don't know what it was. Maybe the sign, maybe the name, but something about it just didn't call out to me. I'd see their Newport Beach location, always packed, and still think, "I'm going to spend a bunch of money, and the place is probably going to suck." Boy, was I wrong! We recently met someone who works there, and she encouraged us to give it a shot. So one evening, my girlfriend and I decided to check out the Long Beach location overlooking the marina. WOW. What an incredible surprise! First, the decor. Absolutely beautiful. Think Ritz-Carlton or Four Seasons. That upscale, luxurious feeling you get when you walk into a really special place. A+. Haha. I guess that's why they call it A's! Looking for a date-night spot where you can impress someone? A+. This place absolutely delivers. The atmosphere? Another A+. There's a buzz in the air, an energy that's hard to describe. You immediately feel like you're somewhere special. And then there's the food. Outstanding! From the appetizer to the main course to dessert, everything was fantastic. A+ But here's something I wasn't expecting. The chairs! I'm not kidding when I say I sat in one of the most comfortable restaurant chairs I've ever experienced. It felt more like a luxurious lounge chair than typical restaurant seating. I could've sat there all night, overlooking the beautiful marina, enjoying the atmosphere. The service was outstanding, too. And the people-watching? Fantastic! As people walked in, you couldn't help but look around. It's that kind of scene. Great energy, interesting people, beautiful surroundings. The whole experience just feels special. By the time we left, I was thinking, "We absolutely have to come back!" And here's what really impressed me. This isn't just a restaurant I'd return to because the food was good. It's a restaurant I'd actually crave. Craving amazing food? I'd think of A Restaurant. Craving a beautiful atmosphere, great energy, and a little luxury? I'd think of A Restaurant. Craving beautiful people? A's. That's rare. Usually, restaurants are great at one thing or another. This place checks practically every box. And now I'm kicking myself for waiting more than four years to try it! All because I judged a restaurant by its sign and name. How ridiculous is that? It really reminded me of that old saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover." I had absolutely no reason to believe the restaurant wouldn't be good. I'd never eaten there! Yet somehow, I'd convinced myself it wasn't worth trying. Meanwhile, I was missing out on one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in Long Beach. Now I can't wait to check out their Newport Beach location. Every time I've driven past, that place has been packed. And knowing what I know now, I can only imagine the energy and atmosphere there. Plus, who doesn't love Newport Beach? Oh, and one more thing. Apparently, they serve chicken pot pie on certain days. I haven't figured out exactly which days yet, but you better believe I'm going back to try it. If it's anything like the rest of their food, I'm in for a treat! Here's what I'll say about A Restaurant. Whether you're looking for an impressive date night, incredible food, beautiful waterfront views, outstanding service, or just a fun, upscale atmosphere, I genuinely can't imagine walking away disappointed. There's really nothing I can complain about. And I actually think this restaurant deserves even more attention than it's getting. Maybe there are other people like me who drive past, make assumptions, and never give it a chance. If that's you, stop doing that! You're missing out. A's restaurant should absolutely be considered one of the top go-to dining destinations in Long Beach. We're lucky to have a place like this because, quite frankly, Long Beach needs more bougieness! Bring on the luxury. Bring on the beautiful decor. Bring on that Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons kind of experience. Long Beach could use more of it, and A's is delivering exactly that. Four years of driving past this place, and now I can't wait to go back. Lesson learned. Don't judge a book by its cover. A Restaurant, you won me over. Oh, yeah! F**** A. Haha

A PCH -- Long Beach, California…read more Exceptional Cuisine and Waterfront Views, but Service Needs Refinement My recent visit to A PCH at 2ND & PCH was an experience of contrasts. The waterfront setting is spectacular, with views of the marina and toward Catalina Island. The kitchen delivered excellent cuisine, but the service did not consistently match the quality of the food. We were seated on the patio, where clear protective curtains helped shield guests from the wind and unsettled weather. Unfortunately, an unpleasant damp-mop odor inside the restaurant detracted from our first impression. The hostess station also seemed largely unattended when we arrived. Both are relatively straightforward opportunities for improvement. Our server was helpful, but her presentation seemed less polished than expected for an upscale restaurant. When we asked about her strained voice, she volunteered that she had been out partying the previous evening--more personal information than we needed. There was also a disconnect between our server and the supporting staff: beverage questions were repeated, plates were cleared at awkward times, and crumbs remained between courses. I wiped down the table twice myself. A short pre-service meeting addressing readiness, grooming, responsibilities, and table maintenance could make a meaningful difference. Fortunately, the kitchen was the highlight. Our two filet mignons were cooked precisely to our preference, served at the proper temperature, and beautifully presented. The accompanying herb butter was delicious. My wife enjoyed the chopped salad, though she would have appreciated a little more dressing. The bread service was less successful: the bread was dry throughout rather than simply crisp on the outside, although the flavorful butter helped. We had the pleasure of personally thanking Chef Sergio Gómez. He shared that he began his career as a dishwasher and worked his way up through the kitchen. His journey deserves respect, and his skill was evident in our meal. Then came the dessert: a peach tart with vanilla ice cream, recommended by the chef. Absolutely outstanding--10 out of 10. Perfect temperature, balanced sweetness, and wonderful harmony between the fruit, pastry, and ice cream. It is not to be missed. I brought a bottle of 2021 Clos du Lican from Chile's Apalta region to enjoy with the steaks. Corkage was $30, which is not unreasonable, though a slightly lower fee would be welcome. Our bill for three guests was $259.01 before gratuity, approaching $300 with tip. At roughly $100 per person, thoughtful, coordinated hospitality should be part of the experience, not just excellent cooking. A PCH has enormous potential. Chef Gómez and his kitchen deserve real praise; the front-of-house team needs stronger coordination and attention to detail. I plan to return, particularly to try the oyster service and bar, both of which I have heard good things about. With a few operational refinements, this could become one of Long Beach's standout dining destinations. And I would happily return for that peach tart alone.

The service was very good and the food for the most part was excellent. We had the olives and blanco bread as an appetizer. The bread was fresh made and came out hot straight out of the oven. The olives were marinade in fennel pollen and orange. I couldn't get enough of them. We shared a beat salad that was very tasty and my wife had the rack of lamb which was delicious. I will say that I did not enjoy my main course of Porchetta. I felt like it had good flavor, but it wasn't cooked well and the center where the pork belly was supposed to be tender and melting was very tough, chewy and inedible to me. Despite this one dish I really liked the restaurant and I am eager to go back and try something different.

I live over on Second Street, and I'll tell you, it's easy to overlook The Attic, which is right…read morehere on Broadway. But let me tell you, this place is a real gem. Whether you're going for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, The Attic is one of those places that just has something special about it. They've got an outdoor patio, an indoor-outdoor patio, and a completely indoor dining area. Every space has its own personality. It's one of the most unique, eclectic restaurants you'll find in Long Beach. And if you love cornbread, oh my God, you have to try theirs! It's warm, buttery, served with honey, and absolutely delicious. I'm telling you, it's worth going just for the cornbread. The breakfasts are great. The lunches are great. The food across the board is fantastic. The bartenders are great. The menu has plenty of variety, and the whole place just has this incredible vibe. Imagine trying to find the restaurant with the biggest personality on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. That's basically The Attic. There's a certain energy to this place that's hard to describe. It's the same way Palm Springs has its own energy, or Melrose Avenue has a certain feeling you can't quite replicate anywhere else. The Attic has that kind of magic. And the best part? The food actually lives up to the atmosphere. The menu doesn't disappoint, the service is great, and the entire experience feels like something you won't find anywhere else. To me, The Attic represents Long Beach in every possible way. Because that's what makes Long Beach special, right? We're not Orange County. We're not Los Angeles. We're Long Beach. We have our own personality, our own culture, and our own energy. We're a little eclectic, a little unexpected, and completely ourselves. And that's exactly the kind of experience you'll find at The Attic.

Having visited The Attic many years ago, I was excited to return, but this visit was…read moredisappointing--not because of the food itself, but because of poor communication, inattention to detail, and weak customer service. I ordered the vegan sandwich, advertised with a vegan patty, kale, avocado, vegan egg, and bread. I requested a lettuce wrap instead of bread and added tomatoes. After an exceptionally long wait, while nearly everyone else at my table had received their meals, mine arrived missing the tomatoes, vegan egg, avocado, and lettuce wrap. It was essentially a vegan patty on arugula, despite costing approximately $20. Mistakes happen, especially when restaurants are busy or ingredients are unavailable. The problem was the lack of proactive communication. The restaurant apparently had no iceberg lettuce and could only offer arugula, which would have been fine if someone had told me beforehand. The same applies to the missing ingredients; instead, I had to discover each omission myself. The avocado was brought out only after I asked about it, by which point the delayed meal had become frustrating. I eventually requested complimentary fries--not because I wanted something free, but because a gesture of goodwill seemed appropriate. Good hospitality isn't about never making mistakes; it's about how a restaurant responds. Offering alternatives, communicating shortages, adjusting the bill, or providing a small complimentary item can show customers that their experience matters. The Attic has been a recognizable Long Beach establishment for years, making this decline especially disappointing. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect honesty, reasonable communication, and an effort to make things right. I didn't mind paying $20 for a thoughtfully prepared vegan meal; I minded paying $20 for a vegan patty and arugula while repeatedly advocating for the ingredients that were supposed to come with it. Sadly, after many years of remembering The Attic fondly, this experience may have cost them a loyal patron.

FIVE STARS IS FOR THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE NOT THE FOOD…read more My friend and I had a good time at the lre- opening night of The Bungalow Kitchen. My friend is a chef, so I really wanted her to experience the new menu with me. First, I have to give credit where credit is due. the customer service was top tier! We were greeted as soon as we walked up, and all of the ladies were so welcoming and nice. The bartenders were super nice as well, as was the GM. And of course, the aesthetic of The Bungalow never fails. The space is beautiful and definitely still has that Bungalow vibe. Our waiter, Devin, was great too! Now, on to the food... sadly, we were pretty underwhelmed. I hate that I have to agree with some of the Instagram comments I had seen about the kitchen because I really expected better, especially with all the hype surrounding Chef Eric and the new menu. One thing that really irked me was that our order of broccolini came out before everything else and sat there for about 20 minutes before our entrees arrived. Our waiter was kind enough to send out another order of broccolini once our entrees came, which I appreciated. They initially added it to the bill, but removed it once I mentioned it. The lasagna honestly tasted like something I could pick up already made from Whole Foods. The pork chop was cooked well, but it lacked flavor. The artichoke dish... I don't even really know what to say. The presentation wasn't great, and we kept pulling pieces of the shell out of our mouths, which was annoying. We had a couple of bites and just did away with it. The mussels were good, but there weren't very many. Mussels are pretty inexpensive, so it would have been nice to have a bit more, especially since they are small. The sauce had good flavor, and we ordered the baguette to dip into it, but it wasn't really a sauce in the traditional sense because it was pretty thin. I think it could have had more substance, especially considering they encourage you to spend $12 on a baguette to dip into it. One other thing I noticed was that Chef Eric was visiting some of the tables around us but never came over to ours. Maybe those were family and friends, so who knows, but considering there were barely any people in the restaurant, I do think it would have been nice for him to make his way around to all of the tables, especially on opening night. I will definitely be back to The Bungalow because I love the space, the people and the drinks. I'm just not sure if I'll be back for dinner. I'm willing to try some of the less expensive items and see how those are. Our dinner bill was around $250, in addition to the $40 we spent at the bar before sitting down. Unfortunately, for us, the food just wasn't worth the bill. Overall, we had a great experience with the staff and the atmosphere, but the food didn't live up to the expectations I had going in. Hopefully, some of these things improve because I really do want to see the kitchen succeed.

So excited to have The Bungalow Kitchen back at 2nd & PCH! We had the opportunity to experience the…read morenew and improved Bungalow tonight during their soft opening and it did not disappoint. They reminded us why we missed this concept from them so much all these years, welcome back! From the host team when we arrived to our waiter Tiffany (who was amazing), the crew here was warm and welcoming. We were at their soft opening so we expected things to be a little rough, but there were moments we actually forgot they weren't "fully opened" yet because it was pretty dialed in already. Minor things are still being worked out but honestly, they were hardly noticeable. Now, let's get down to what I'm sure you're waiting for... the food and the drinks. Without burying the lead, Chef Eric Samaniego and his team did their thing. For a starter we had the Hamachi Crudo which was un-friggin-believable. No joke, it was seriously legit. One of the best presentations of this dish I've had so far... for reals. My wife gave it a 10, I gave it an 11 (yes, I loved it that much). For our mains, we shared the Steak Frites and the Lobster Cavatelli. Tiffany also recommended we try a side of the Broccolini, and we are so glad we did because it was so delicious - 10/10. The Steak Frites were very good. The steak was prepared just right and the frites were seasoned nicely with the beef tallow. We gave it a 9 /10. The Cavatelli was solid, but it was probably the biggest opportunity of the bunch. I enjoyed it but wish I could taste more of some of the other flavors, the tomatoes seemed to overpower it some. We gave it a 7/10. In addition to the dishes, I also enjoyed a Roku gin gimlet which was totally on point. They have a full bar and talented mixologists so you can pretty much get what you want though. Finally, the recognizable vibe that we've come to love at the Bungalow remains. They've added nice new furniture and other touches that give it a comfortable, upscale, yet welcoming vibe. All-in-all, we are excited for what the Bungalow Kitchen has in store and look forward to coming back soon!

The black rice complemented the dish perfectly and brought everything together beautifully. As for drinks, I tried the espresso martini, which was pretty good and a nice addition to the meal.
