The BEST cocktail I've ever had, some strawberry martini
Mia G.

What a great place! Our server was very nice and conversational and extremely attentive. All of the food was great. The ambiance was sweet, perfect for a family dinner. Definitely expensive but worth it! Not to mention I had the best cocktail of my life here! It was the strawberry martini something and it tasted indescribably good.

Had a great family dinner here. The service was amazing super caring and explained the menu to us and the most popular items. I ended up ordering the sea bass and it was 10/10 so good. All the flavors combined so well this dish is done amazing. I also tried the lamb chops which are also amazing super tender. The inside is nice and if you get lucky you get a show view. The highlight of the night was the butter cake omg 11/10 the ice cream with a perfect warm butter cake is an amazing combo. The carrot cake is also just as amazing 9.5/10 the sauce that is on it is so sweet and really satisfies anyone's sweet tooth.

Another wonderful dinner at Spaghettini! This time it was for my birthday! If you are a loyalty member, it's a very nice and generous birthday treat! It's important to make reservations as Spaghettini is a very busy place especially on concert nites! I booked on Open Table, always an easy process. Upon arrival, the hostess wished me a Hapoy Birthday! We were seated in Kazi's section, a setver we have had before, the BEST. Nice to have a familiar face, and Juan bussed, another familiar face. Says a lot about a business when their staff have been there for years! The hostess brought a customized Birthday Card to the table, so all would know the special occasion! Nice touch! Kazi of course recognized us and wished me a Happy Birthday. We started with drinks. My husband ordered his usual, Dirty Vodka Martini, but this time with Chopin instead of Belvedere. Perfectly made! Spaghettini makes great cocktails! I decided on a white wine, Daou Sav Blanc. I usually don't drink white with dinner, but it was a hot night and thought it would pair well with my entree, which I did! We had a wonderful appetizer, a tasting test by the chef! For entrees my husband ordered the Carmelized Salmon, same dish he had last visit because it was so good. That carmelized sauce is very special! He loved it again and could not stop talking about the sauce! On their Summer Specials Menu, they were still offering the Lobster Ravioli, one of my favorite dishes! I had to order it again! Lots of lobster meat, ravioli shells very tender,and that sauce, OMG so good! Lemony and buttery, better than sliced bread! I am so glad they decided to offer all Summer, time to go back and have again and again! Of course Kazi brought me out a birthday dessert treat, mini cheesecake with a candle. Their cheesecake is so good! He also took our photo for a special memory and mounted it inside my birthday card! Definitely made my birthday dinner extra special! Thank you! Spaghettini is a very special place! Great food and service is why we love it so much! Thank you for my Birthday treats!

Capellini Pomodoro
Bianka G.

Dinner and live music! Perfect pairing. I was invited to see the artist Marsey perform live here and they have a great set up for dinner and a show. The performance stage is situated nicely in front of diners and offers a great intimate experience. I was excited to see the artist but I was also very excited to try out this Italian restaurant. We ordered a Pinot Noir for the table to start and a couple of appetizers- Ahi Tower Pork Meatballs Fried Calamari Tomatoes and Burrata (seasonal) They were all very delicious but I personally loved the Tomatoes and Burrata AND the meatballs. Talk about FLAVOR! For entrees we tried- Rigatoni Bolognese Tagliatelle Al funghi Capellini Pomodoro Chilean Sea Bass The pasta is made in house daily so it's a must try. The sea bass was flaky, buttery, and just so good with that lemon butter sauce. Tasty tasty dish. I thought I took a picture of the butter cake for dessert but I guess we were too excited! It's warm and gooey cake sitting on bed of vanilla bean ice cream. Do it!!! Our hearts and our souls were full. Thank you Marsey and thank you Spaghettini.

If you haven't seen New Zealand guitarist & vocalist Andréa Lisa before, you have to see her perform! She's awesome!

Updated review from dinner, drinks, and live entertainment on 5/22/26 (5pm-9pm) featuring Andréa Lisa's 7pm performance. We had reservations for a party of nine in the lounge area, and four guests in our group had never attended a performance or dined at Spag's before. After this experience, I can confidently say it definitely won't be their last visit. Spag's consistently delivers top-quality evenings like the one we experienced. From the online reservation process to our arrival and seating, everything went smoothly and professionally as always. Our server, Vanessa, was absolutely AMAZING! She handled every need our party had with professionalism, hospitality, and a genuine desire to make our night special. Not once did we see her become frustrated over special requests, changes to existing orders, or even being flagged down while already halfway across the room helping another table. I genuinely mean it when I say she was exceptional. We were no more important than any of her other tables, yet she made us feel like VIPs all night long. My wife and I ordered the sea bass and the rack of lamb entrées, and we shared the carrot cake for dessert. While the menu offers many tempting options, we'd gladly order all three again. My wife also tried a Woodford Reserve Bourbon Espresso Martini instead of the traditional vodka version, and let me tell you -- if you've never tried one that way before, you may be pleasantly surprised by how incredible it tastes. Vanessa even took photos for our group, separated each couple's portion of the bill, applied discounts and credits correctly, and handled everything with a smile the entire night. I actually made a point to compliment her to the manager because even if she had treated her other tables only half as well as she treated us, she still would have deserved recognition. We drive up from San Diego 3-5 times a year specifically to see certain artists perform here, and we ALWAYS leave with memorable experiences at Spag's. Our only wish is that they would open a second location much closer to us!

Haven't come here in yearrssssss and I'm glad I came again! Brought my pops for his birthday and we had a great time with great vibes! Food was fantastic. Service was great. Lighting was a bit dark, but not horrible. Thinking about coming back for some music soon!

I've been to Spaghettini before and have loved it. This time I was celebrating my anniversary. It was a great time! The food was delicious, I ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese and Brussel Sprouts. The Rigatoni was very flavorful and the sweetness of the Brussels sprouts were perfect. The service was great, our waiter was very attentive and nice. The restaurant as whole was very nice, it gave cozy family feels with high quality meals. I love Spaghettini, and definitely look forward to going back soon

4/18/26 Braxton Brothers
Helen K.

Have I not reviewed prior? What happened to my reviews? Anyway, I'm a frequent flyer here at the Jazz venue. Unsure why previous post claims bands are average?? WTF! Are you kidding? They all have recording contracts. The guy must be tone deaf. Anyway, most recently enjoyed The Braxton Brother's. Great venue with affordable prices. In the past winning entrees include: gr lamb chops (med rare), pizza, pork chop my last visit. Thought the pasta with mushrooms sounded good but felt it could've had a boost with garlic or parm or something. Ahi tower app was loved by my friend. Me not so much. Ok, I am Japanese & particular about sashimi. Gotta be super fresh. Didn't feel this was. Our group had: 1) capellini- all veg no added protein. She was pleased. Portion was huge. Like 1/2 lb of pasta. 2) carmelized salmon- friend thought it was undercooked. However, most places serve it med not fully cooked since it's tough otherwise. I personally order my salmon medium. ‍ 3) gr lamb chop- she always orders this. Always very happy with it. Med-rare as requested. 4) living on the wild side, ordered the Berkshire pork chop. OH MY GOSH! Moist, tender & flavorful. How big was this chop? 2 inches thick? Probably brined since this was cooked through, moist & tender. Topped with a chunky applesauce & a nice pan sauce. Buttery Parmesan polenta & Brussels sprouts leaves separated sautéed with garlic & olive oil. Seasoned well too. Cocktails here never disappoint. Had the pineapple habanero margarita this time. Not spicey. Still yummy though. Nice cozy jazz club within the restaurant. We really enjoy this place. Foods good, music is outstanding. The size is a plus. How close can you get to Keiko Matsui, Eric Marienthal, Lee Rittenhour? Like 15-20 ft away? This place is a gem. P.S.- during Covid, they offered a fabulous Mother's Day pick up order. So happy we could have a prime meal while isolating from the world.

I went there during Happy Hour for my birthday lunch. Way too busy this time....I understand Friday was busier but today was way busy. I like happy hour deals, pizza and wine.... The quality was always same. My best pasta at Spaghettini is Penne w wild mushroom, chicken. Really tasty, flavorful. I got the b day complementary mini cheesecake. Yummy! My husband and I had a great time and left w so much leftovers....

We flew to Los Angeles to be part of an extraordinary NYE celebration with Eric Darius at Spaghettini in Seal Beach. The evening was nothing short of magnificent, the food was superb, highlighted by the best Chilean Seabass we've ever tasted plus the service was flawless, even on a night when most venues struggle to keep pace with the crowds. To toast the end of 2025 in style, we ordered a 2013 Dom Perignon, setting the perfect tone to begin the new year on the right track. Spaghettini in Seal Beach is a place that I will continue visiting every time I'm anywhere near...

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.

This review is only for their salsa/bachata dancing night and the bar…read more The bungalow has weekly salsa/bachata nights that include free dance lessons from 8 to 9:30. The instructors are great and the crowd is fun diverse (in terms of age, background, and experience dancing). The djs are also awesome play a lot of good music. The vibe is fun and high energy. It's nice to see a place that is filled with dancers of all skill levels just having fun and learning to dance. The venue itself is beautiful. They have a large open air dance floor that overlooks the marina as well as a smaller dance area inside near the pool tables. The decore is classy and elegant overall. On salsa nights they have drink specials in addition to the regular drink menu. Lastly I once lost my key fob there and someone returned it to their lost and found. I'm forever grateful to whomever returned it and the staff at the front door / lost and found. Overall it's an awesome place to come out and hang out and dance.

First impression, why did we need reservations.... Since we didn't know the hidden entrance. Well, it's a cool concept once we entered. There's a dress code so be advised. What I found out was the entrance of the speakeasy was through a phone booth that next to the pool table of Roxanne's bar. Once reservations is made, you'll received an email with a password to enter. Enter phone booth and to connect to the inside and they'll open the door for you. We had the first reservations I believe they opened at 7pm. We were the first group to arrive. As it was my first time, we had ordered bar food and were waiting for it inside the main bar. So half an hour was used from our time limit. The speakeasy, dark and moody but perfect for the place. Special crafted cocktails by the bartenders which were great. They also have food as well, found out later. We did try the meat pie, which it was just ok. Basically an empanadas, the pickle veggies accompanied it was my favorite. It was good but nothing major to rave about. The drinks were quite nice and tasty. What they offered on the menu did have a load of good choices. Tables scattered throughout as well as bar seating. There's a piano which maybe used for live music. Overall, the moody speakeasy vibe was great. Friendly staff and bartender made some great drinks. What we had to snack on, the meat pie was just ok. They're very strict with the time limits. Once it's reached they'll let you know.

Honestly for a super cute speakeasy, the drinks were very lackluster and not really well thought…read moreout. I expected to pay so much for cocktails that don't really seem balanced or designed with intent. It also took a very long time to receive drinks, the bartender seemed more into doing his sub par flair than getting drinks out at a decent time.

The experience was amazing. Speaking of Speakeasy! First, if you don't want to (most likely) get turned away, you will definitely need to make a reservation on OpenTable a few days before. Parking around the area was tough, but you may find a spot if you circle around the blocks. You will need to arrive early to look for parking. When you arrive, you will see the Mexican restaurant El Barrio Cantina. You will want to walk into the alley on the left, then you will see the door with a lantern on your left. Congrats, you have arrived! Knock on the door and tell them your reservation. The bar was popular. Their reservations were all full for the night. Their cocktails were amazing, creative, delicious, and Tokyo-inspired. I love their cool menu design. The bartender was friendly and made some nice recommendations. I had a Meguro River. It's creamy and pretty with floral decorations, served in a mini pot. The Okinawan Gimlet is in cool green. They even have alcoholic gummies and alcoholic shaved ice on menu. They do have a time limit of 1.5 hours seating. I can't wait to come back again.

Inside it's small, dim, and moody in the best way -- red lantern glow, low ceilings of chatter, and the kind of lighting that makes everything on the table look like a movie still. It's a speakeasy with a full appetizer-style menu, which is basically my love language. Reservations are your friend here; this place fills up fast and there's nowhere to hide. I came for the food, and the food showed up to work. The corn dogs were the undisputed MVP -- golden, crunchy, drizzled in Kewpie and tare, topped with jalapeños and dancing bonito flakes like they knew they were the headliners. The sushi was good -- fresh, well-built rolls that hold their own in a bar setting. Add in glossy glazed wings, charred corn ribs under a crispy cheese veil, and crispy rice bites stacked with spicy tuna, and you've got upscale Asian comfort bar food doing its absolute best work. Not a big drinker myself, but the cocktail menu is a whole production -- the kind of booklet you flip through just for the photography. A fantastic night out. Highly recommend.
