Jackie Salad

So good!!! My favorite salad in LB 10/10! So flavorful, I like it with ranch! If you want a good salad definitely come here and try this one

Jean Claude Killy Sandwich
Kevin D.

When I want to grab a bite, a decent sandwich may satisfy my appetite. MVP's Grill & Patio has a decent selection of sandwiches and, in my experiences, provides good customer service. As far as I know, they accept cash, credit/debit, and Samsung Pay. There is seating available in front of the eatery and parking nearby: after ordering from the window, the car or MVP's seating are usually my sitting options (mainly the car to avoid potential fumy smells). I like the way the name of the eatery works with its design and setting: it's a grill and patio .

Double cooked and overcooked hard nasty fries!
Gloria L.

I was craving a burger and fries today. I called and specifically asked for "fresh fries" because I know most of these places double cook the fries (disgusting). I picked up my order, checked the fries and they were, yep, double cooked and overcooked!!! I told the guy these aren't fresh fries, and thinking I'm a dumbass, he has the nerve to say "they are fresh, we make them like this." Then he contradicted himself by RUDELY saying, "We aren't McDonalds, where they're fresh like that". Dude should not be working at a place that deals with customers, much less serves food! Shame, because this place used to be really good. Now both the food and the customer service SUCK!

Chicken tenders and cajun fries.

There were few people they were polite for the rest. The kitchen needs to get the order right server manager should be a little bit more considerate how they talk to you customers for that matter I would never go back to it. Knowing that when you place a second order, which is as bad as the first one, I'm happy with Service and I'm happy with the food. Will never go back and by the way you need shades in those windows in the Sun!! is too strong to seat customers in the sun window radiating so much heat on you. Yes you gotta afford to put a few shades seat if possible just kill some of the sun out of the customers shoulders or back and it's too bright. You cannot even see the person in front of you and the scale from 1-10 I give it a rating " 3 "!!! Don't get me wrong. You do have very good service for my observation is too bad.

We started with the calamari, and I have to say, it was hands down the best calamari I've ever had! I substituted the chorizo aioli for garlic aioli. At first, I thought the crispy pieces were chips, but to my surprise, they were thinly sliced lemons. They were absolutely delicious and added such a unique, refreshing citrus flavor to the dish. I also ordered the salmon, which was delicious! Although it was slightly overcooked for my preference, the green sauce poured over it was incredible. 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. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. Between the inviting atmosphere, creative flavors, and delicious food, this was definitely a memorable late lunch. I would absolutely come back, especially for that calamari!

I've been about 2-3 times now, and the food has consistently been really good. That being said, I would definitely recommend a little more customer service training for the servers. Everyone I've encountered has been very nice, but sometimes it's the simple things, like showing that you're happy to serve your paying customers and making sure they feel taken care of. Each time I've visited, we've found ourselves waiting close to 30 minutes for our server to come by for refills, a to-go box, or even the check. I completely understand that mistakes happen and that things can get busy. I've worked in the restaurant industry before, so I really do try my best to be understanding. However, during one of my recent visits, my order came out incorrectly. There was an item on my plate that I had specifically requested not to have. Of course, mistakes happen, and I had no issue communicating the mistake to my server. What bothered me was that instead of apologizing for the error, she looked at me and simply walked away with the plate. I assumed it was a minor mistake and that she would have the order corrected. I could have just removed the item myself, but at the same time, I shouldn't have to pick through my food after receiving an incorrect order when I'm paying for it. When she brought the plate back, she simply left it on the table without saying anything or acknowledging the mistake. I actually found myself apologizing to her for making her do the extra work, and she just walked away. Overall, I really do think Luna is a great restaurant with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. I'm sharing this feedback because I think with some improvement in customer service, communication, and wait times, Luna has the potential to be even better. I would definitely come back, and I hope this feedback is taken as constructive criticism rather than anything negative.

A New Job, A New Milestone & A Chance to Rewrite the Narrative…read more My best friend and I have a tradition of celebrating new jobs with a nice dinner. Since this was her new job and a major milestone, I let her choose the restaurant. She had visited Bo-Beau last year but didn't get the full experience, so this was her chance to rewrite the narrative. And it was truly night and day. I researched the restaurant beforehand and was excited to see that Bo-Beau is part of the Cohn Restaurant Group, which I mostly associate with San Diego and South Orange County. After this experience, I really hope they're here to stay. I noted on our reservation that we were celebrating her new job, and for once, the restaurant actually read the note and acknowledged it. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was excellent. The hostess welcomed us downstairs, another staff member greeted us when we reached the rooftop, and our server quickly followed up. Then came the surprise: complimentary champagne for both of us. It was such a thoughtful gesture, especially because those little celebratory touches seem to be increasingly rare. Our server was also patient with our questions and attentive throughout the evening without being intrusive. We spent about 2.5 hours enjoying dinner and catching up over: Baked Brie Brussels Sprouts Steak Frites Everything was flavorful, and the entire experience felt relaxed, peaceful, and worth the price point. The food was great, but the hospitality is what earned the 5 stars for me. Real hospitality is paying attention to the guest, recognizing the occasion, and making people feel genuinely welcomed. My best friend got the celebration she wanted -- and a much better Bo-Beau experience this time around. Will definitely be returning!

However, a few of the dishes were on the salty side (not the steak). Overall it was a great evening, ambiance was lovely and great atmosphere.

I went on a Wednesday so it's not as particularly busy as it is on the weekends. Service is very friendly and food comes out very quickly as well too. The pumpkin pasta was pretty good, but was on the sweeter side. I almost wish that there was a little bit more savory elements to it, but aside from that very cute touch having it be in a pumpkin. The Beetlejuice pasta was incredible. The shrimp on it was also really good! The attention to detail is very evident and whoever came up with the menu bravo! The drinks were also equally as good - the Morticia Addams was like a really yummy margarita with a cute dried rose on top emulating I believe a gravestone? Only note was that it was slightly hard to drink with the giant ice cube haha. The pumpkin espresso martini is probably one of my top espresso martinis I've had in quite some time and again the attention to detail was great not a big fan of marshmallow, but I do think the cute little pumpkin on top was a nice touch! Lastly, the decor was super cute for the space - overall you can tell a lot of passion and creativity went into the space even just for the holidays. Looking forward to a winter overlay hopefully! Would absolutely recommend this restaurant and would go back - although the price is a little steep, I do think the quality of the food and drinks match it.

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.

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.

I'll definitely be back, and the cheesecake alone is worth another visit.

DINING While Black…read more The 908 Restaurant Environment 1-5: 5 I really appreciated the ambiance and decor of the space. After enduring weeks of record breaking heat in Long Beach, this was the perfect place to land as the Summer Breeze... Makes Me Feel Fineeee again. A very well but gently lit space that still feels cozy and spacious. The outside gives no indication of how well the inside has been designed. Great for lunch or dinner dates. Noise level was low and there's no feeling of a chaotic restaurant environment. Food/Service 1-5: 4.8 I order the shrimp and lobsters fettuccine, bone marrow as an appetizer. My company ordered the lamb burger. All dishes we beautifully plated; true works of art. Neither of us had any complaints about presentation and creativity. As far as taste and as excited as we were to dig in to our food, the ONLY setback was the lack of seasoning mainly salt. I'm aware that a Chef does their best to meet the expectations of their guest. I'm also aware that meeting everyone's expectations is impossible. To confirm my advice of needing some salt in the food I patrons the restaurant twice, two days in a row. The food needs more salt and I stand solid on that opinion. The service was great and I thanked Mel for taking such great care of us. Mel is a rockstar! Diversity score 1-5: 4 The restaurant definitely appeals to diverse crowds. It reminded of the days I frequented Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster in Harlem, NY. Go again score 1-5: 5, Absolutely. I do hope I don't have to keep bothering the server for salt and pepper.
