Their lemonade, however, didn't have any taste. I had ordered the Chinese chicken salad which came with a tomato gazpacho. We were told it's a tomato bisque but it was cold. Didn't really have much taste to it. My chicken was moist in the salad but I wanted more crispy noodles and dressing. I chose the cheesecake for dessert instead of the chocolate cake. Most people preferred the cheesecake. One thing that we were taken a way back was that we couldn't get Togo boxes. The server said it was part of the rules. The venue was decent and the food was above average considering it was a plated food. Parking was limited and had to park on the street that was being worked on.

Once I got inside, so warm, cozy, so many customers were eating, almost packed during lunch hour. So busy today. The menu was not changed and I ordered my fave, chicken quesadilla w onion rings. I also had my birthday treat, NY cheesecake. Thanks for the free birthday cheesecake. I love love it! My class members like the onion rings. Super crunchy, flavorful, and big. Chicken Quesadilla has lots of chicken cubes. Soooo tasty w sour cream, Guacamole, and salsa. I like here having the separate check by person all the time. I don't need to ask the server. The prices are always affordable. The portion is big. Nice and cozy dining w great golf course view. You see duck's family as well. My hubby likes the burger w half French fries half onion rings.

María Teresa Diaz was accommodating, and her attention to detail helped ease any concern I had about the party. The hall ,chairs ,tables and the kitchen were all included in the rental of the plaza. Roman Was helpful the day of the event in setting up, answering questions and assisting with any issues we had during the event. The Fountain was flowing beautifully, the lights that they have are bright and gave off enough light for the party. I was able to add sheers, and chandeliers to add a touch of romance. The set up fee for decorations is very reasonable at $15 an hour. I highly recommend this location , The venue is unique gives a old world feeling to your celebration. Perfect for food, dancing, celebration and enjoying some spirits. Thank you for a successful celebration.

If I could I would give them 4.5 stars…read more Held my wife's 40th birthday party here last night. The event was a success and the venue was the perfect setting. When you rent here they give you the hall and plaza. The event was at night so they turned on their fountain and the outdoor lights. The facility does have a kitchen with ice maker, freezer, refrigerator, sink etc. We didn't need to prepare any food but the kitchen looks equipped to do so. They had tables and chairs included in the rental fee. They did require that we hire security which increased the cost of renting the facility. We had no need for security and I would recommend that they reevaluate this requirement depending on the event. They should require a larger deposit and if there are any issues the deposit could be forfeited. They did allows us great access to set up the venue for our party and gave us the freedom to decorate the place as we wanted. Tip: you need to be persistent to get a hold of the people who operate the venue. I assume they are mostly volunteers and you need to remember this if they don't call you back in a timely manner. I would recommend that you call them early and make sure you follow up with them if you don't hear back.

Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a peaceful hidden gem tucked inside California State…read moreUniversity, Long Beach. I walked into a space that is smaller than some larger Japanese gardens, but the layout feels carefully planned with winding paths, traditional landscaping, a koi pond, waterfalls, bridges, and quiet corners throughout. It is the type of place where taking your time matters more than trying to see everything quickly, and the smaller size actually makes the experience feel more intimate. The garden feels like a world apart from the campus surrounding it, and the transition from the university grounds to the garden is immediate and effective. The koi pond is easily the centerpiece of the garden and one of the most enjoyable parts to spend time around. I found myself lingering by the water, watching the fish move through the pond as the sunlight filtered through the trees. The fish are large and active, and the surrounding greenery, stone features, and water elements create a very relaxing atmosphere. The garden does a good job balancing natural scenery with traditional Japanese design, with each section offering a slightly different view and feeling as I walked through. The bridges and stone lanterns add to the sense of place, and the sound of the waterfalls creates a calming background that stays with you as you move through the space. What I liked most about this garden is how calm it feels despite being located on a college campus. It feels separated from the surrounding area once you enter, making it a nice place for a quiet walk, photography, or just taking a break. The landscaping is well maintained, and the entire space has a slower pace that encourages you to actually stop and appreciate the details rather than rushing through. The garden's design rewards a slow approach, with each turn in the path offering a slightly different perspective on the pond, the plants, and the stonework. The visit is fairly quick since the garden is compact, but it works well as a relaxing stop rather than a destination that takes up an entire afternoon. Reservations are required, so it is worth checking availability before going. Admission is free, although parking is an extra cost and can be the main inconvenience, especially during busy campus hours. The garden's location on campus makes it accessible, but the parking situation can require a bit of patience. Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a beautiful spot if you are looking for a peaceful escape rather than a large attraction. The koi pond, thoughtful design, and quiet atmosphere make it a place worth visiting, especially on a nice day when you can take your time walking through the garden. It offers a brief but meaningful pause from the surrounding city and campus life, and the care that has gone into maintaining the space is evident in every corner.

We had a 5:31 AM tee time and made sure our entire group arrived and checked in by 5:15 AM…read more Unfortunately, despite arriving early, we had to wait nearly 20 minutes just to receive our carts. It appeared that only one employee was handling check-ins and cart distribution, which created a significant bottleneck. As a result, not only was our group delayed, but many other golfers with early tee times were also backed up. Most groups seemed to be teeing off 15-20 minutes behind schedule. I understand staffing challenges happen, but when golfers are paying for an early morning tee time, especially one before sunrise, the expectation is that operations are ready to go. The course itself is enjoyable, but the poor organization at check-in put a frustrating start on what should have been a smooth round. I hope management addresses the staffing issue during peak morning hours so future golfers can start their rounds on time.

Our wedding was a perfectly executed dream come true that was orchestrated by The Modern, and its…read morewonderful team led by Abel and Mary. My wife and I discovered The Modern during a special event right before I proposed, and we knew that if we ever got married, this would be the place. Following our engagement, we had a tour of the place with Mary, and we were 1000% convinced with the place since Mary came with the package lol. The communication throughout the course of our planning was outstanding, and both Abel and Mary addressed all our inquiries and concerns without hesitation and with clear answers. While the conditions of the contract initially seemed rigid, all guidelines and expectations were stated clearly, and both Abel and Mary provided all the support necessary to ensure the vendors understood and executed per the contract accordingly. All terms of the pricing were transparent, and we found the costs to be worth every penny, as we were 1000% satisfied with the venue. Through the course of our two-year planning, Abel and Mary were available and offered the walkthroughs necessary for the vendors and us to plan accordingly and execute an impeccably perfect wedding. Mary did an outstanding job and exerted so much patience with both my Wife and I through the course of food and drink tasting. She assessed our preferences and perfected our specialty cocktails and food menu to reflect my wife, our guests, and I. We appreciated the opportunity to host our rehearsal brunch at their Kitchen and Bar located below the venue. Our guests enjoyed getting a small taste of the delicious food and drinks they'd be having the following day at the actual wedding. The day of the wedding could not have unfolded so perfectly, both aesthetically and logistically. Abel and Mary coordinated and collaborated in unison with our group of vendors, and they really outdid themselves by providing the foundation to our dream wedding, literally. They did an amazing and efficient job at flipping the venue space for the reception. All while our guests were enjoying themselves in the lavish lounge during cocktail hour. The venue itself is perfect. It is very modern, clean, spacious, classy, and their furniture and greenery were the perfect accessories necessary to complete our wedding day. And that's not all. The VIEWS are one of a kind as the venue has an entire wall space made up of windows that overlooks Long Beach Airport and an outdoor terrace that allowed us and our guests to enjoy the views. We literally had airplanes flying up and down during our entire wedding, with a grand exit of us flying off in a helicopter. My wife, our guests, and I cannot believe how perfect the entire day turned out. They will not stop raving about how perfect and beautiful everything turned out. From the food to the drinks and the wonderful bartenders, and of course to how magically, beautiful our wedding was. None of which would have been possible without the fantastic venue, Abel, Mary and their team. While we are saddened to turn the chapter from the wedding planning and wedding, we are so so so happy we chose The Modern. The Modern and team will forever be embedded in our hearts and beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Mary, Abel, team, and The Modern!

Most venue or event spaces tend to be very large, this was enough to accommodate about 70 people, hairs and table rentals included. You will need to provide your own tablecloths, tableware and catering. Single gender neutral bathroom in the rear of the space but is quite visible to all. Plain white walls lend themselves to your imaginative design. The event I attended was a gender reveal, there was a very nice balloon background on one side, and about four buffet tables end to end, holding snacks, favors and gift bags. Spacious enough for everyone to mingle. Lots of parking but lunch hour was quite busy and I had to park towards the rear of the property.
