Pull up, hand your keys to valet ($10 well spent), and sashay your way into the Fairmont Breakers Hotel. Take the elevator up, and voila! You've officially arrived somewhere fabulous. The Sky Room gives you that "night out in LA" vibe without having to actually deal with LA traffic. The second those elevator doors open, it's all elegance and atmosphere. Plush, glamorous booths. Soft lighting. A view that makes you feel like you just leveled up in life. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was inside: classy but not stiff, romantic but not cliche. The service was spot on, attentive without hovering and the food and drinks were just as impressive. Everything felt thought out, from presentation to flavor. Tip: - definitely come here right before sunset if you can, you'll really get to enjoy the views - make a reservation and see if you can request a booth. It totally sets the mood and takes the whole experience from "nice dinner" to "pure golden hour magic." The Sky Room is Long Beach's little slice of old school glamour, updated for people who still know how to make an entrance. read more

I was a little worried about the mixed reviews, but couldn't have asked for a better birthday dinner! Husband and I started with the Garden Vesper (gin and vodka martini) and the Manhattan (rye and bourbon cocktail) - strong yet well balanced. We also had the NY Sour by Way of Napa with our dinner and liked the red wine top off. We put in the order of the CA Wagyu Beef Wellington right away as it takes about 45 minutes. For starters, we tried the Parker House Rolls, half dozen Oysters Rockefeller and Hiramasa Kingfish Crudo. The 2 rolls for $5 were soft and fluffy. Oysters Rockefeller were good, but standard. The Crudo was outstanding, though! Loved the flavor profile of the light fish with avocado puree, blood orange and salsa negra. This plate was a work of art with all its colors and textures! The CA Wagyu Beef Wellington is pricey, but hefty! The meat was incredibly tender, juicy and rare. The crispy puff pastry included a layer of herbs, prosciutto and mushroom duxelle. The bordelaise poured on top made this dish even richer. For the side, we went with the Pommes Sky Room Whipped Potatoes and it was so airy, buttery and light! The complimentary chocolate mousse tart and ice cream for my birthday was divine! Loved the crispy cacao nibs as a contrast. Knowledgeable and attentive server, very romantic atmosphere, and nice view of the harbor! The lighting and decor is reminiscent of elegant 80s. Fantastic place for a special occasion! read more

Chocolate mousse is amazing. They have wonderful drinks, but they are quite expensive. We would say go for the chicken. It was great for sharing. You can also get the potatoes for a share. We really liked the crab cake for the appetizer. We came here for a birthday it's a beautiful view. read more

Came here with my girlfriend and her family to celebrate her 30th birthday. Made a reservation through OpenTable and requested a booth, which the restaurant was able to accommodate. Service was good for a restaurant of this caliber -- prompt, attentive, and respectful. The drinks were well made and the food items were good, but not great. The vibe was nice where tables were spaced out well enough where you could have conversations easily without having to listen to surrounding conversations. Overall, the experience was pleasant and I would recommend if you are looking for a special dinner spot for someone special. read more

4.5 Stars. This was on my radar for a while and wanted to wait a little while since it is new. I made reservations through Open Table and we went yesterday evening. It took us almost an hour to get there due to not knowing the Vans Warped Tour was going on. We almost missed our reservations. The newly renovated Fairmont Breakers Hotel is very nice and kept their original art deco design. The restaurant perched at the the second from the top floor is very nice with great views. A great start to a date night with my wife. This is very upscale and the service is what you would expect from a Fairmont brand. We started with cocktails at our windiw table and had the Uni toast bites and oysters Rockefeller. This was very good. It was then followed up with their crab cake appetizer with trout roe and caviar in the broth sat in. We ordered one for each of us as they are petite. Our server provided us with some fresh made warm Parker house rolls to sop up the nice broth. The crab cakes did not have much bread crumb filler which was great. This all washed down with their Chardonnay. The entrees came next. My wife ordered the chef's signature Waygu Beef Wellington which came with a separate small copper sauce pan of jus. I had the Liberty Farms duck breast with duck leg confit on a small puffed rice cake. We ordered sides of pureed potatoes and the collard greens with creamed spinach. The collared greens with creamed spinach was okay the first bite but then became too much like a vinegary bite. It was strange and was not what we expected. We wouldn't order that again. My wife washed down her entree with a nice Napa cab and I had a nice Russian Rivet Pinot. These paired very well with our dishes. The finally came with ordering the fresh peach Melba. This was done on a tableside cart and flambade the fresh peaches and was perhaps the best desert I have had in years. The homemade vanilla bean ice cream dallop in the peach Melba was outstanding. This place is very classy and made for a wonderful date night. The chef and his staff are very talented. They do have a rooftop bar above the restaurant with outdoor seating. We checked it out vut they had a DJ playing some clubby type of music. We left immediately because of the crappy speakers. It would have been much nicer having a small jazz act playing. The price is $$$$, so this makes better for a special occasion destination unless you can show some restraint and go easy on the alcohol consumption. LOL! We will be back. read more

The ambiance here is unmatched. It's such an elegant and cool vibe, with the best views of the city. We sat in the bar area to order a drink while we waited for our reservation. The bartender made some really good recommendations on food. Once seated, we ordered immediately. We had the steak, whipped potatoes, kingfish crudo, and the beet salad. All the items were amazing and the quality was so fresh. For dessert, they kindly brought out the baked Alaska which was a lemon cake with a sort of whipped cream on the outside. The experience was lovely and we would definitely come back again. Suitable for a special occasion since it's a little pricier, but also serves as a romantic date night spot. We want to go back next time to sit in the bar area and get caviar & champagne service! read more

So let me tell you this place made my birthday a great experience. I called for a last minute reservation and they were able to make that happen with a party of 5. The experience of just being there and the view was absolutely amazing for it being our 1st time. Eric was our guy, he made our table the center of attention. Very welcoming and the greatest attitude. For it being our 1st time there his recommendations were spot on. The appetizers, drinks and main course were 100% amazing and delicious. Not one bad dish at ALL! thank you to the full staff that made this night to remember and family can not stop talking about it. read more

Excellent Experience! I used to frequent the Skyroom four or more times a year back before it closed. Anticipation for the re-opening! Fairmont is an excellent hotel chain and we have had great food at their restaurants. High quality food and service! The Skyroom lived up to their reputation. We went for our son's birthday and nice touch that they recognized the occasion, that made the evening even more special. The view is wonderful as it was before. They did an amazing job with the interior, keeping with the Art Deco theme. The lighting is done well, very mood lit! Cocktails are exceptional. Usually my husband and son only have one cocktail, they each had two! We started with the Parker Rolls, very tasty. Then we shared the Caesar Salad, definitely sharable and excellent. We had three different entries. Black Cod, Hangar Steak, and Duck L'Orange. All three were cooked to perfection and served with a side. We also ordered Grilled Broccoli, definitely a dish to order. For Dessert, there are several prepared tableside. We ordered the Bananas Foster and glad we did. Definitely a very special place. We will be returning in the future. We also want to try the other restaurants in the Hotel. Service was excellent. Our waters were constantly being refilled and others on the team checked in on us. Parking is Valet, front circle. $10 for up to four hours. Highly recommend getting there early and checking out this beautiful hotel! read more

I have had beef swellington before at several establishments. This is the worst I've ever had. It was like they cooked the steak or the meat and they wrapped the pastry around. When you cut it. The pastry fell apart from the meat. That was no cohesiveness to it at all. Whatever you do, do not order the beef wellington. To pay a 165 dollars for this is totally robbery. But this was the worst speed fellington, I've ever had Please thank you read more

The Sky Room has always been a special place for my husband I as it's where we celebrated our first Valentines Day 23 years ago! Last night we were excited to return to The Breakers after it's renovation and it did not disappoint! We arrived early enough to have a cocktail in the lobby before our 5pm dinner reservation. The lobby bar is exquisitely decorated! The most chic art deco design with a modern twist... stunning! We enjoyed our cocktails and headed up to the Sky Room where we were promptly seated. Richard was our server and he was a delight. We ordered our second round of cocktails, our meal, and enjoyed the view. The entire meal was perfection. The caesar salad, crab cake, parker house rolls, beef Wellington, and masher potatoes were great! No complaints! Our Bananas foster was prepared table side with was beautiful! The restaurant was half-full. We wondered why we had to wait weeks for a reservation if half the restaurant was empty. We can only assume they are still in "soft-opening" mode or perhaps haven't been fully staffed? Now, I didn't award the five-stars for two reasons. One, although the meal was very enjoyable, we felt that the offerings and preparations were "safe". Nothing out of the ordinary stood out. And two, the reservation confirmation stated there was a Business Casual dress code. Most guests were dressed appropriately with the exception of a group of three that were seated shortly after we were. Two of the guests were wearing trucker hats, short sleeved graphic t-shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes. The only reason I took note of what they were wearing is because it was a SIGNIFICANT departure from what everyone else was wearing and what their dress code indicated was acceptable. read more

What a fantastic evening!! My friends and I went for cocktails and dinner at the beautifully restored, historic Fairmont Breakers Hotel Sky Room. Everything was absolutely perfectly amazing... the Doorman welcomed us to the hotel, opening the doors for us. We enter the fantastically elegant lobby and then we are whisked up to the top of the hotel to the aptly named Sky Room restaurant. We were a bit early for our reservation, so we enjoyed delicious cocktails in the bar area. My friend ordered their special smoked Manhattan. What fun to have the waitress "smoke" the drink table side! If you've never had this, it's a must try, the flavor is amazing. When our table was ready, we were escorted and seated at a window side table. We had a lovely view of the waterfront of Long Beach. The occasion that drew us to the Sky Room was a special "Taste of LB" event. We ordered their Prix Fixe Chef's tasting dinner - a four course meal. Every dish was delicious, a delightful sensory experience! Obviously, this is an elegant establishment, with a price point to match....but worth every penny! Fantastic food * excellent service * amazing decor and view * Bucket List worthy! read more

After we entered the beautifully remodeled Breakers Hotel, we took the elevator all the way up to the "SR." We were greeted by two friendly hosts and were immediately seated by the window with an amazing panoramic view of Long Beach and the Long Beach Terrace Theatre. Interestingly, eight years ago, my husband and I sat in the same spot in the old Sky Room celebrating my birthday! This time, we were celebrating love and life and in awe of the newly renovated Sky Room! We started off with drinks. I ordered the Garden Vesper (Empress 1908 Cucumber Lemon Gin, Ketel One Vodka, Lillet, Lemon Peel Essence), which was very smooth! We were greeted by our wonderful waiter, David who provided some suggestions. we placed complete trust in his recommendations and he did not disappoint! For dinner, we ordered a shared serving of the California Wagyu Beef Wellington (Mushroom duxelle, prosciutto, bordelaise) with a side of Grilled broccoli, black garlic butter, parmesan tuile. We were informed that the Beef Wellington takes about 45 minutes, so David recommended the Sea Urchin "Avocado Toast", Half Moon Bay Wasabi as an Hors D'Oeuvres. The sea urchin is from Santa Barbara and was very fresh, clean, and delicious! For appetizers, we ordered the "Garden of" Butter Lettuce & Castelfranco (Fuyu persimmon, herb vinaigrette), which was light, refreshing, and delicious! To my delightful surprise, the Executive Chef of the Sky Room served the Wagyu Beef Wellington to us and explained where the wagyu beef came from. The first bite into the Beef Wellington and every bite after that was amazing! The meat was flavorful and very tender; it melted in our mouths! David suggested a red wine to pair with this meal, and it was perfect! Lastly, David recommended the banana flambé paired with a Port, and it was another amazing experience! We are excited to return to try out the other meals and drinks! Tip: Make reservations ahead of time! read more

We dined at The Sky Room with a party of 8. Service was great, the waiters/waitresses were all very attentive and friendly. The restaurant is very elegant and beautiful with great views! Even the bathroom was pretty and had windows with a great view! My husband and I both ordered The Wagyu Skirt Steak which came with some green beans and potatoes. The steak was very tender and the sauce with it was delicious, loaded with flavor. The potatoes were delicious and loaded with flavor as well. A friend of ours got the Wagyu Beef Wellington and let us have a taste and wow it was delicious as well. For dessert we had the Tableside bananas foster which was pretty neat to see made at our table. We all shared it and took a bite and wow great way to end the delicious dinner! read more

The ambience is exceptional. The service was impeccable... It's absolutely an experience. Amazing views of Long Beach. We had an old-fashioned, a dirty martini, steak tartar, a Caesar salad, duck and trout. The main dish(es) fell short of expectation. I had the duck a l'orange. And the skin of the duck was not crispy, the sauce was flat and lacked depth, although a beautiful presentation. The Cesar was very good, but the dressing lacked distinguishable flavor and the cheese and cracked pepper dominated.. The steak tartar had good flavor, but a lot of sinew in the meat. I did not appreciate the chips as an accoutrement. Their dirty martini was exceptional. My friend enjoyed her old-fashioned and her trout, but was also concerned regarding the value between the high prices and the food execution. I love going to Michelin starred restaurants, or amazing food in a hole in the wall. I do not believe I have to go back but only for a special occasion perhaps. Valet $10 for four hours. read more

I read several reviews before I dined at the Sky Room last night. Great place for me to check out as it's an easy stroll down the street for me. Went there with my boyfriend as an early birthday dinner for me. When your birthday is on New Year's Eve it gets to be a drag going out on the actual night. Anyway, here's my review. When we arrived promptly at our reservation time, we were told that if we wanted a window table it would be about 15 minutes so we settled ourselves at the bar. Turns out you can just pop in and eat at the bar if seating is available. It's a nice bar - no major view of outside and no TV which seems nice to keep the noise down. Our two Old Fashioneds with 4 Roses bourbon were fantastic. I love the 'right-size' cube - not a huge cube that steals the whole scene - but still a good chunk of ice so not to melt right away. And lo and behold in about 15 minutes we were whisked to our window seats. Now the window view is not fantastic as the place is on Ocean Boulevard and NOT the ocean, so one is overlooking the Long Beach theater and the lights one sees in the distance are the lights of the Long Beach port. I would say most tables are nice in that the space is not overly packed. While we were at the bar we had already perused the menu and decided on the Beef Wellington, one of several shared entrees they offer. It takes 45 minutes to prepare so we put in our order right away. We also ordered the steak tartare! The steak tartare was excellent with little dollops of egg yolk placed on top - that must be a bit tricky. The capers made it tangy and the beef was finely ground which I prefer to a chunky tartare. What I didn't like that much were the potato chips that came with it. Perhaps this is because the restaurant does Parker rolls and not regular bread or because the idea of thin potato chips is not to take away from the beef. But alas the chips were very spicy and tasted like the old Lipton onion dip. I skipped using the chips for chowing down the rest of the tartare and just ate them separately. We ordered a bottle of the Passi de Orma red wine, nicely priced at $55. I was glad to see that they offered reasonably priced bottles of wine. It was very smooth and it was a nice with all the beef. The Beef Wellington was as expected fabulous! Served medium rare - it does look like it was alive and mooing recently but continues to cook. It was so tender and served with a delicious burnt butter sauce. We chose broccoli as our one side choice, which was recommended by our great server, Jessica. Jessica also recommended the Cherries Jubilee dessert, slightly over the Bananas Flambe. The cherries were delicious and the dish nicely presented by Nick who was kept busy doing these side table desserts. Although a bit pricey it is worth it. The service was perfect. I was a bit surprised that there was no coat check but a staff person did take our coats away and we got them later. The restaurant and the Halo bar upstairs both close at 10pm but the bars on the first floor are open later. read more

The atmosphere and ambiance are beautiful. It really is a wonderful restaurant, with the exception of a few things. Some of the portions are so small it feels ridiculous. My friend and I ordered the $25 white asparagus soup, and it came in a huge bowl with probably less than 1/3 cup of soup. That starts the evening off feeling like you're getting ripped off, and it's hard to recover from that impression. We also asked for bread and later discovered we had been charged for two orders. At a restaurant at this price point, you would think bread would simply be included. That said, my halibut was delicious and actually a generous portion. The appetizer selection felt limited unless you wanted to spend a lot on seafood. The only salad option was a Caesar with egg, which wasn't appealing to me. If they had offered a traditional mixed green salad, I definitely would have ordered it. Overall, the restaurant is beautiful and the main course was excellent, but the small portions, added charges, and limited reasonably priced starters made the experience feel less satisfying than I had hoped. Sadly, I would probably not go back. read more

Food quality was good. Server was friendly but service was painfully slow. Don't come here if you're in a hurry. Place was nice inside with a great view of the city. Good for a romantic evening. For me the cauliflower side dish was the best thing I had. The cod was ok. read more

Long Beach resident here. Was a huge fan of the original Breakers and frequented the Sky Room often for events and special occasions. The new Sky Room is magnificent as is the new hotel overall. Absolutely beautiful decor and ambience. However, the food choices were lacking and underwhelming at the Sky Room in terms of appetizers. We stopped by the Sky Room for appetizers and drinks before dinner and it was so absolutely disappointing and overpriced. The drinks were great. Solid. However, the appetizer portions were meager and overly priced. The Maine Lobster appetizer was comprised of tiny bits of lobster scraps in a frothy liquid that didn't taste like much of anything. Super disappointing especially at $27. The Chestnut and Truffle Soup was just as disappointing. It was neither a cup nor a bowl size - more like truffle sauce drizzled over a few chestnuts for $23. Spending $50 on two appetizers that were bland and minuscule was a real letdown. Never again. Much better appetizers in the Alter Ego, the bar/lounge downstairs on the first floor where the calamari, truffle fries and other appetizers are delicious and appropriately priced. IMHO the Italian restaurant, Nettuno, on the first floor of the hotel is much better - great food at reasonable prices. Can't speak to the quality of the main courses at the Sky Room but I won't be trying them any time soon given the outrageous cost for appetizers that fell so far below our expectations. read more

Wow--such an impressive experience! This spot completely blew me away with its stunning views and the gorgeous interior--the aesthetic is both elevated and romantic. I came here on a date and it truly delivered the perfect ambiance for something special. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and personable, which made the entire evening feel warm and welcoming. We had the steak tartare, risotto, and ribeye--everything was absolutely delicious. And don't skip the banana dessert--it was the perfect sweet finish with an impressive mini show!

I visited this establishment solo on a business trip upon the recommendation of a local colleague. I was able to walk in and get a seat at the bar despite not having a reservation. The staff were all super friendly and attentive. I grazed on a few appetizers and was too full for a full entree. The grass fed steak tartare was delicious. Well cut, well seasoned - but the dusty chips were very fragile and relatively flavorless despite being heavily coated in a relatively flavorless green powder. If the chips were swapped this would have been a perfect dish. The hiramasa crudo was perfect. Fresh and loaded with simple but complex flavors. The crispy radishes were a perfect textural balance. The very simple uni toast was a delectable bite. I think there could have been a better choice of bread (like a sturdy sourdough instead of what looked like white sandwich bread) but the uni itself was fresh, buttery and delectable (so much so that I ordered a second one to wrap up my meal!) The interior is gorgeous and inviting making thr perfect ambiance for a quiet solo dinner, a date or a group celebration. I'll definitely visit again when I am back in Long Beach. read more

It seems that everyone working at this hotel is miserable. The hostess was not friendly. Our server seemed extremely nervous and the while vibe was just weird. But the worst part was the food. I ordered the chicken breast, mashed potatoes and salad. The chicken should have been labeled airline chicken cause it tasted like it was heated in a microwave on the plane. I actually think I've had better food on a plane. The mashed potatoes were ok but nothing special. My salad was dry and lifeless. The only redeeming quality is the ambiance and view. This is a sexy spot for DRINKS. But I'd leave the ridiculously priced food alone. read more

My experience only. Did not dine at this location but merely ordered cocktails. Went here at 9:45pm. Last call for alcohol since this place stops serving alcohol at 10pm.

I can't give the full star experience until I do so. Overall, I will come back. Dissappointed on how early this place closes along with adult beverage cutoff at 10pm. Hopefully that changes soon. read more

Not worth the $168 price tag but if you haven't tried it, it really is special. Small portions for appetizers... more like appe-teasers. Crab cake, not cakes, were the best with the upgraded caviar and roe. read more

Unimpressed. The interior charm and elegance make this spot what it is, for it is certainly not its wine list, food, servers, or hostess. The service is woefully understaffed and even behave overwhelmed and lacking cordiality. I was told I could sit in the lounge (and unfortunately sat under a very cold air vent blown directly onto the bench) but after not seeing a server for some time had to get up and get my own menu, then wait longer for a wine menu that had offerings like a basic bar. Ugh, the disappointment of this spot when I love Netturo so much! The service was also shockingly slow and the server wouldn't even wait for me to put in a wine AND food order. As a server myself, it's rude and speaks to a novice in a high end spot trying to fit in. The crab cake was small but also unseasoned by herbs or spices and only flavored by the creamy base and salty caviar - I found no balance and was again unimpressed. It may be because they're newly open but I have no desire to go back. Good luck to you all and may those who try it have a better experience. Try Netturo downstairs, you won't regret it. read more

First off it's absolutely beautiful. Not great lighting for pics so please keep that in mind. Started with the obscenely dirty martini for me, my general go to is a dirty Bombay sapphire martini with a hard shake & regular olives. Theirs was delightful but different. The Mrs had the Betty Paige, balanced & best with the champagne added to the drink. Next, Parker house rolls - smaller than usual but OMG delicious. And the crudités with green goddess - farmers market (from Santa Monica) veg, radish, baby radish, heirloom carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, delish. Mains - Black cod for me, perfectly cooked & that endive, to die for. Honestly though, IMO - could have done without the sauce. Butter poached lobster for the Mrs. All in all - a fantastic experience, great service, beautiful space, good wine list without a huge markup. Looking forward to returning. read more

We visited the Sky Room last night to celebrate a birthday. The whole experience was magical. Walking in was like going back in time to a 1920s jazz club. The lighting, the decor and the views were such a vibe! Service was impeccable...very personal and tailored like a VIP experience. We had the uni and prawns as an appetizer, both were so fresh and delicious. But the main star of the night was the wagyu beef Wellington! A bit on the higher end but completely worth it!

Finally ate there after wanting to since the renovation. The Sky Room is gorgeous! They did a very nice job (I liked it before but it was definitely run-down). I have read mixed reviews so let me identify what I thought was the best and what might be improved. Waiter Service was phenomenal (ask for David, who is impeccable but many seemed to know what they are doing); the young woman who brings around the Flambe Dessert Cart was both excellent at her job and pleasantly entertaining as well. Unfortunately, when we first arrived, the Hostess gave us a bit of attitude because the other couple was stuck in traffic. Eventually they did seat us, which was appreciated. I bring my own wine most places. Sky Room has an okay list and gave me no grief whatsoever over corkage ($50 per bottle) and our Waiter David brought over upgraded glasses for each of our bottles and cheerfully poured the wines with skill and nary a drop! The menu is somewhat limited and changes regularly; the salads and sides were delicious and well-constructed. We ordered 3 of the Hangar Steaks and 2 came out at the desired temperature (mine, alas, was overcooked and a bit tougher than it should have been). The Halibut had an amazing sauce! I regret that no one but me wanted to order the caviar, but we made up for that by having the cheese plate and both of the Flambe desserts (Bananas Foster and Apple) and they were a great way to end the evening! I thought the cocktails were priced too high (affect of the view, most likely) and I was ecstatic that the Valet Parking was only $10. All-in-all it was a very pleasant evening and we will definitely go there again! So should you! read more

A wonderful dinner option for any sort of celebration! We came on a Thursday night to celebrate our anniversary and had the best time minus a few interactions. Deductions for two stars reasoning at the end. Located on the 13th floor of the Fairmont Breakers Hotel, this restaurant is beautiful. I have been to the original Sky Room and agree that the updates have made this place one of a kind. We were seated at a larger booth and was served by Jessica A who was WONDERFUL. Gave us great tips and advice and really coursed out our whole dinner perfectly. We ordered: - Parkers Rolls - cannot go wrong - Crab cake with the caviar butter ... with the parkers rolls dipped in the butter? 10/10 Shout out Jessica A. who told us to do this - Fresh oysters on the half shell - these were SO good and light and sweet and so, so rich - Caesar Salad - I enjoyed this, but not the star of the show - Uni toast - one bite toasts that were amazing, the amount of uni was perfect - Duck pate with crackers - delicious, loved the pickled cherry that came with it - Beef Wellington - this was actually so perfect and melt in your mouth with the crisp of the pastry shell. Very, very umami. This dish in addition to the appetizers could definitely be shared. If we ever get it again we might just have to be with a party of 4! - Drinks: Old Fashioned and Pacific Margarita - a great compliment to the meal Reason for the deduction is because I emailed the Fairmont Hotel and the only email I could find for the Sky Room about negative interactions with a hostess throughout and at the end of dinner and also inquired about their digital camera policy and received no response. First, our server offered to take a photo of us with our camera seated at our table and a hostess came over and reprimanded all of us saying "no digital cameras per hotel policy" which we (us as well as our server) all were confused about. This interaction made my partner and I feel like we had to be on our best behavior and had to worry about other policies we didn't know about. We looked online and on our reservation notes, and there is no policy listed anywhere regarding digital cameras . We understand paid photographers and photoshoots need permits and if we were interrupting other guests with taking the photos or flash - but this was not the case at all.. unless the hostess considers their own server a paid photographer? There are photos taken on digital cameras all over social media and Yelp, one I saw definitely with the same camera I have (Fujifilm X100V). After, the hostess gave us bad vibes all night - with two interactions confirming to me that this may have been purposeful: giving me a subtle (up down) dirty look while walking to the bathroom and then ignored us as we were leaving and we smiled directly at her with eye contact and said "bye thank you!" with us the only people walking past and her being the only person at the stand. While I do highly recommend coming here for a special occasion for the delicious food, great drinks, cool ambiance and the views - I am a little hesitant for future reservations since I do not want to be treated the same way by this specific hostess! Which is unfortunate because all the other servers and hosts were exceptional. In addition, would have loved a response to my emails regarding this hotel policy and if it is policy why it is not applied to or communicated to all guests. read more

Everything was excellent. Beautiful views, a dining room that is contemporary, elegant, and not too formal. Friendly and attentive service. Terrific cocktails (I loved the Garden Vesper). The wine by the glass list was underwhelming...only three red options. But the food was the star. The menu was both classic and modern. The uni avocado toast and crab cake were delicious. Chicken and scallop entrees were prepared perfectly. I moved the traditional dessert options like flambe and baked Alaska. Definitely recommend when in Long Beach! read more
