This place comes highly recommended in the neighborhood. Not only did we hear it through the grapevine but it is constantly recommended on FB. So happy to have been able to finally try it. Definitely worthy of all the raves and recommendations. This is our first date night out in LB and we had a fabulous time. The service was excellent-Noelle was very sweet. We had 1/2 dozen of raw oysters (super fresh), clams with chorizo and kale, double cut pork chops (per the hubby it was a great cut of meat but needed a little more seasoning) and what I've seen so many people post and their number 1 dish, halibut (really loved this dish). The alcohol list was very extensive and they had lots of wine choices by the glass that you can also order by the bottle for $33. We ended up ordering the Riesling to try. -- eating dinner at LB Social. No wonder this is a fave in the neighborhood! read more

Wow. This place was spectacular. We walked in around 8:30 on a Saturday and it was jam packed. The manger/ hostess was so accommodating and got us seated as fast as possible. We ordered the potstickers as an appetizer and let me say they were just amazing. The service was fast and impeccable. For our main dishes, we ordered the salmon with risotto and the chicken Parm. The chicken Parm was cooked perfectly. The salmon melted in your mouth and was crusted perfectly. The flavors of the meal worked so well. Our server was so kind and helpful with picking out our meals. The ambience is perfect, in here you feel like you're teleported to a different place. We got the tasting trio for dessert it was spectacular. Cannot wait to come back and try more food! read more

Quick update since I visited last month 4/26 to be exact. Firstly make sure to bring cash like I did to, avoid the credit card fees(too many places doing this nowadays). Second off food still tastey so I'll add a star from last review since I was in a mood last review. Lastly, I understand they are opening a new location, that's good but maybe you should pay more attention to this location... Autumn Sangria in April is laughable, criminal even! A whole season has come and gone. Again good food brought down by negligence & a dying bar program. Someone call Jonathon Taffer stat! read more

This is one of the first restaurants my Husband and I went to when we felt comfortable enough to actually sit outside and eat a meal from a restaurant. We were walking our very large dog and stumbled on it when we noticed they served oysters! The staff was immediately friendly not only to us but to our beloved pet who is sometimes not greeted at all. We had to wait a little but one of the waitresses came right over to us and asked if we wanted a cocktail while we waited, which of course we did! (The Spicy Margarita was delish Erika, thanks for recommending!) The rest is history, we've been back several times over the course of the summer and I've even invited friends to come because the food and service are impeccable. To be honest the food is so good we can't move past the appetizers because when we go there we're so hooked on them. When I did go with one of my friends, she insisted on getting the halibut entre which I must say was mouth-watering. Every time we go we're greeted like friends and family, the staff has gotten to know us and it's just a really nice feeling to know you can go somewhere, feel special and enjoy a guaranteed yummy fresh meal! Must Haves! * Steamed Clams - If they could bottle the broth up I would buy it by the gallon. * Thick Candied Bacon! It melts in your mouth, try not to moan. Thank you LB Social Team - We'll see you soon! read more

Great, high quality and organic ingredient food at LB social. Also the chef is delightful. Nice place for a date or gathering with friends. Make rezzies as place is kind of tiny read more

Super dis-organized.... Service was terrible. Our appetizer came before drinks & we had to remind them. They put 3 of us in a 2 person table & the 2 appetizers almost didn't fit in the table. Seems that no one knew what was going on. Would NOT come back, even though food was decent read more

A nice and friendly little place with excellent food and pretty good servers. The Owner was very friendly making his rounds and greeting customers. Try their Chicken Perm. Its their signature dish. read more

Great food with good service always. Nice cozy ambiance but make a reservation because it's small and usually pretty crowded

Located on West Park in Long Beach. Great friendly inviting service. This is a place where everyone knows everyone. Food was acceptable. My lobster dish was good . Halibut dishes were bland. Chicken parmigiana was chewy. read more

This place is super, a Rose in the Forest. The Food, and service here is beyond Great. I highly recommend it. And the Prices are very reasonable read more

My group came here after volleyball on the beach, so we were tired, drenched in sweat and sand and massively hungry. We ordered some apps, the soft-shell crab and dumplings, which were both great. I'm not too fond of eating soft-shell crab because it kinda weirds me out, nevertheless it was tasty and was layered on a bed of great sauce. I ordered a Stella and the zoodles dish. All of our entrees came out at the same time. I really enjoyed the zoodles and seafood dish. Some places overcook the zoodles (zucchini noodles) not understanding they are best cooked with a quick pan fry, but LB has it right. The seafood sauce was well marinated and mixed well with the clams, mussels and shrimp. The service was great as well, the server was attentive but not overbearing and the chef came around a few times to chat and answer any questions we had. read more

Favorite place in Long Beach! Matt and all his staff are so friendly and inviting. Top to bottom perfection!

Food is amazing, service is so warm and welcoming. A must to come over at least once weekly

Chef Matt can never disappoint This surprisingly small store front will delight your evening and palette: The staff is so knowledgeable, friendly, welcoming and amazing! Chef Matt is so talented, hard working & pleasurable We were greeted with fresh ricotta with a hint of crushed pepper and delicious soft bread We had and loved: Whole baked clams - delicious little necks - crispy bread crumbs - lemony garlicky sauce Angry Lobster - to avoid the Pasta guilty my waitress suggested the zucchini linguine swap after some questions! She was right on! Potato Gnocchi bolognese with ricotta my husbands fav! The pouring super tuscan wine was the best! I'm looking for it currently in stores Cocktail: bees knees (I had 2 and loved them) hard to find a good cocktail not full of sugar Dessert: was amazing! Pot De Creme rich & dark French style chocolate pudding accented with Garnier Marnier This place can please any finicky eater I will be booking my next family dinner here! read more

We love LB Social! The food is excellent and the staff really works as a team, so they are very attentive, though low-key. The owner was working on the Saturday night we were there - actually working - alongside of the staff. He is opening another restaurant soon in Long Beach. We can't wait to go. read more

We came here with a group of 12 and the Owners were very accommodating. They had us seating and attendees to us promptly. Drinks were on the table when we sat down along with a round of shots for our friends birthday. The food was delicious and reasonably priced! I order to lobster roll, which was delightful and very filling. We also have the clams and octopus for an appetizer. Over all the environment, food and staff were above our expectations! We will definitely be back and recommend you give it a visit. read more

Delivery was on time and food was yummy. Mushroom risotto a favorite. Good portions.

Everything is always DELICIOUS. staff is amazing and Matt is just a doll! The ambiance is really cool too!

The short rib is just about the most tender, melt-in-my-mouth piece of meat I've ever eaten. I ate it joyfully solely with my fork. The sauce was so flavorful, I would have liked for them to pour it in a wine glass for me. Before that, my companion and I shared the French onion soup which is something I save for only places that can make it well. The cheese was a delicious Gruyere or similar and the onions were so yummy and not at all too salty. And we then shared a tiny portion of lamb sliders. These two were a little overcooked, but tasty and a nice palate cleaner for that short rib. The host is charming, server was attentive and the chef (owner?) was taking great care of his diners tonight. read more

Avoid at all costs. We had met the owner on several occasions and he seemed nice enough but our recent experience with his manager was very unpleasant. We had an inside reservation but this manager was a total control freak and after making us wait around she kept trying to seat us at a rickety table on the sidewalk outside that no one wanted. We didn't want to eat our dinner surrounded by drunken people staggering around on the sidewalk and fumes from passing cars. The outside table and chairs looked like they were purchased at a garage sale and didn't motivate us. The manager didn't show any respect for us and she probably thought she was Julia Roberts with her shiny silver mini skirt which was just tacky. If you like paying to be abused then this is definitely your place. But I can think of better restaurants with tastier food to mistreat you. read more

Our come to Place when we want a guaranteed great meal. With a wonderful Gentelman Owner Matt, who is always around to make sure that everything is right. But they do need an Overhaul in their dinning room badly. read more

An OK place in Long Beach, with pretty good food, the drinks are kind of expensive with small glasses. The best part is the Great Food. And I guess thats why you should come. read more

Good food, and fair service the only problem here is the Gloomy atmosphere. The owner/Chef is a very nice guy. read more

We recently dined at LB Social for the first time with friends who had highly recommended it, and they were absolutley right! The size is deceiving. It looks about the size of a pizza place from the street, but when you enter there is a dining area to the right. Behind that is a lovely curved bar, and then two steps up to a larger dining area. And then there's the food. The menu selection is varied and interesting. For instance, we started with the appetizer special of the day, Steak Tartare, which was excellent. It is also rarely seen on any menu. I had the Pappardelle Carbonara, which had shrimp, bacon and brussel sprout leaves. My husband had Braised short rib orrechiette, another interesting and great choice. For a Wednesday night, the restaurant was fairly busy and seemed to be filled with locals. Matt, the owner/chef, made the rounds of all the tables, checking to see if his guests were enjoying their meals. Our server, Olivia, was bubbly, informed and attentive. A great evening out, I would highly recommend a visit! read more

Great food, great service, but I'm not so crazy about their ambiance. The seating here isn't particularly good unless you sit at the bar.

From decor to food, this place is a definite win! Delicious food, great ambiance and fantastic drinks. The service wasn't anything special but definitely wasn't poor - the place could definitely use some more staff since the it's busy but they handle it well with what they have. The chef came over and asked us how everything was and he even helped his staff clean up and handle the bill. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the pear and beet salad! But nothing we had was short of excellent. Also a great cosmo! All four of us were satisfied with everything we ordered. Also extremely impressed that they had a sommelier walking around. Food we had (all recommended): Little beck clams, raw Chicken dumplings Pear and beet salad with feta and almond slices Linguine with chicken meatballs Pappardelle with shrimp Scallops special over corn Zucchini linguine seafood Will definitely go here again! read more

I loved my time at LB social from start to finish! Our waitress was awesome she was so attentive and really nice... I came here with a friend and we split everything: bottle of wine, steak tartare, chicken dumplings, and the seafood carbonara.... I LOVED their steak tartare... it was amazing and perfectly prepared with capers and the egg on top really did it for me. The silky feel and taste of the yolk mixed with the tartare really amped it up a notch. The dumplings were gone in two seconds... yes they do look just like every other Asian spots appetizer but the meat inside was chicken! And it had a really nice taste, perfect for splitting (order came with 6). Lastly, the seafood carbonara.... I'm actually not a pasta person sadly... but this pappardelle was so light tasting, not dense like most pasta. I was worried Bc of the thicker noodle but we loved it. They split our portion in the back with out the hassle of a splitting charge so that was great and much appreciated (I hate when places do that).. the shrimp that were tossed in were also cooked perfectly and they were juicy (no tails!, another plus). I like that this place paid attention to their detail.. I saw a lot of what people were ordering and each plate looked better than the next... they had a really nice menu. Def a little more on the fancy side unlike the other typical LB digs.... I wore heels :) read more

F#$% Crocks I needed a restaurant in Long Beach as I'd never been, took to google and came across LB Social. This was my first time out at a restaurant with a new "special special special" "Emphasized" friend. Quality ingredients, Simply prepared. That's what got me. +Plus the menu looked great. The food was perfect, so good! I could not have had a better time. Great people, shout out to Noelle (hope this is the right spelling) and a great atmosphere. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend this spot enough. I live in Brooklyn and never leave the city to eat but that all changed last night. I will be coming back many times for sure. I ate oysters, short rib, cod, clams with collard greens and andouille... you should do the same. So f%&*#n' good. As a matter of fact, I hate writing reviews and never do but this place is so good and I had such a great time, we promised Noelle (shout out to Noelle!) ...give her a raise. Just a note, and this was confirmed by Noelle (hope this is the right spelling)... F#$% Crocks!... you should never wear them in public. Do better. They are only ok for small children and gardening. I can't stress this enough. Even if they're snake skin Crocks which for a Crock is probably the best you can do but still F#$% F@#$ F#$% Crocks. Not in public, keep that to yourself. Oh yeah my ex was a food critic for a major publication so I know what I'm talking about. Peace...

Matt and his staff provide the very best food and service in Long Beach. The food is always consistent and delicious.

This place is perfect. Literally. I love this place. The food was incredible. We had the pork chop and wow it was so good. I love the ambiance of this cute little place. Give yourself a favor and a nice quality meal and go here. The staff is also very nice and accommodating . Thank you LB social! read more

I have been here twice and while the food is delicious, the bartender has no social grace. He is unpleasant and unwelcoming . The first time I was there, my husband I wanted to have a drink at the bar and we were " scolded" by him for our seat selection- he wanted the ends clear . I understand that, but there is a polite and welcoming way to say that instead of "you can't sit there." Tonight we again tried to sit at the bar and walked to two empty chairs. Instead of a "hello" or " welcome" we were accosted by the bartender with " those seats are reserved, are you the reservation?" Again, I understand reservations , but there was nothing to indicate the two seats at the bar were reserved but more importantly, his gruff manner was so unwelcoming that we left. A good bartender can make or break a restaurant and no matter how good the food, why should I return if the vibe when I walk in is unfriendly? We left and went to Baldoria where we sat at the bar, and talked with the pleasant, upbeat bartender over two bottles of wine and a great dinner. People want to be valued and welcomed - the food is important, but the experience and feelings we have at a place dictate whether we come back. read more

This restaurant was a real winner. everything was very good except the dull atmosphere. We will be back. read more

Excellent food and service!! A meal you remember and talk about. Any wait to go again!
