Easy to utilize when staying at Hyatt Centric The Pike, since it's in the lobby. We've eaten here…read moreon past stays and it was good. Today, I would say it's ok. The night before we popped in to see what they offer, and were alerted that the waffle iron was broken, but the batter was the same as the pancake. I also asked if they made ham/cheese sandwiches on croissant and was told no, they use to, but not anymore. That's what we remembered being good, that and the chai. I asked if the chai was still from a local, Long Beach, vendor and he got the bag out to show me. It was not the same brand I remembered, but it was labeled as a chai masala, so it sounded as good, and having had it this morning, I can confirm it is delicious, with a little kick. Sadly, the cup was not full. Stopping about an inch from the top. At $6.95, I would think it was full. Hubs had his coffee with "room for cream", so I went back up and asked if it could be topped off. 'Yes, help yourself, it's at the end over there', directing me to the coffee bar at the end of the counter. Ok, I guess the chai was made with half/half, since that was the jug I noticed sitting on the back bar and again at the coffee bar. Meh, It worked. Since the croissant sandwiches were out, I asked about the granola parfait and fruit cups in the display. I didn't see any prices listed, but Patricia thought 'they might be around $10.' Seems that should be an easy question, but it was a pass anyway since the fruit expiration I picked up was today's date. Hmmm.... I asked what flavor the muffins were and was told Cranberry Orange and they're delicious. Ok, Hubs went with a cinnamon roll, and I chose the muffin. Got my chai and he his coffee and sat down. Took a rather unladylike large bite of my muffin and discovered 2 things right away. First, my heated muffin was cold inside. Second, it was blueberry! Since I was looking forward to the seasonal cranberry orange flavor with my chai, I returned it to the counter. 'Oops, sorry, they all seem to be blueberry. Can I get you something else?' asked Patricia. I chose a heated, plain croissant. Good. Light and airy and worked in a pinch. Hub's cinnamon roll, with cream cheese frosting was good. Not heated all the way through, but he found it satisfying. The cream cheese was light and not super sweet, which was good. His coffee was .... coffee. lol It was obvious the tables hadn't been wiped down. A table of tourists finished their meals and wondered where to bus the dishes. A Hyatt employee, passing through, told them it was fine to leave them. Those dishes stayed there until after the 11am shift change. Seems the employee plan was to "let the next guy deal with it". It wasn't so busy that a multitasking, efficient worker could handle the barista and clearing/wipe down duties. This was first morning of our stay, but I think we'll look elsewhere tomorrow for breakfast. Cheers! "CC"

Tried this last Sunday afternoon around 5pm. Came up from Huntington Beach looking for a great pub…read more This place was awesome. It was pretty much empty in the main bar area and not really full in the patio area. We didn't know what to expect on the weekend as to how busy it might be. We lucked out. Our server was great. She was very helpful when we asked about the beers on tap and offered us samplers to help make up our minds. We ended up getting the Moose Drool dark beer and just gloved it. We ordered an unusual appetizer called an Irish egg-roll. Corned beef and Swiss rolled in an egg-roll batter. These were fantastic. Really good. For our main coarse I ordered the special of swordfish wrap with steak fries. Absolutely great. My wife had the fire burger with a side of fruit. She loved it. I've seen a few negative reviews of the place but our experience was truly 5 star. Great service, great food and great atmosphere. We will absolutely be back. Well done everybody.

I have been to this place in the past and I never really thought much of it, until I spend a Sunday…read moreafternoon in their patio and understood the varied wonders that this place held for many a bloke, including me and maybe even a tourist from Alabama. The draw for this place on this Sunday afternoon was their music band: Rayford Bros. I took a video of one the members singing Pretty Woman Walking down the Block. Hard to believe but I have never seen the flick, and I have never really heard the song. But both were familiar because how can one not know Pretty Woman in song and movie, unless they are a newborn or a not too old infant. So it was cool hearing music that I was familiar with. Because if it was a Guns and Roses or My Chemical Romance my ear would have not been able to name that tune, and I think that would have not permitted me from having a good time. I took care to take a picture of their calendar, that was outside in the patio, to ensure that they had a record to consult if they wanted to hear the warbling of the Tres Hombres that are next on deck. The music, though, it created an environment that rocked with joy and crowd. There was a couple-- octogenerians, I think. With all due respect to them, they were in their sunset years, but, if I get to be old like them, I would consider my life worth its billion steps. This couple were dressed like 50's inspired rockers. They were dancing, setting the patio floor ablaze. The woman tried to jump on the arms of the gray-haired rocker to do that move where she swings from one side to the other, while her legs kick the air. She jumped. But there was no kicking or swinging. But she jumped. That kind of movement on the dance floor is the meaning of dance like no one is watching all while knowing that an audience is present watching the blind dance! The crowd formed outside due to the music. A mom and dad danced with their kid. They could have held a different story but I went with what I assumed to be traditional because there were was enough visual evidence that they were a tranditional man-wife-kid couple. The dog was missng. I wanted to sit in the patio. There were no open tables. I asked a solo diner if me and my friend Conrad could share his talbe and he said yes. A small act of kindness that made my day better. The drink and food was also all worthy of gold stars. I approached the bartender and apparently one has to order food and drink from him I told him my spirit of choice and the fact that I liked sweet drinks. He concocted me a menu item--- a cucumber watermelon mixture, I think that was super great and refreshing! Which was nice because this particular restaurant sits by the water. So a breezy drink seemed more appropriate for the envirnonment. The stranger who we sat with, shared his mozzarella sticks with us. Superb. They were perfectly browned and not like a cylender shape more like a three-dimensional design. I had their loaded tate tots and they were garbage food in the best possible way. The fried goodness of the top had all these layers of flavor--- cream, mustard, chives. And then once topped with pastrami that was thick and cut all super well it became fit for Oscar the Grouch. I think that is the sesame Character that lives in a trash can. Junk food dismisses the value of hearty and greasy food calling the best garbage food paints food that was retreieved from a dumpster and made it to a bounty for the gut. My friend Conrad had a BLTA. I tasted the BLTA and the bacon is the stuff one dreams about---- the type of bacon that makes people go wow this bacon is thick in a real way. It is not thick in I am flattering myself for clout and likes kind of way. True pleasure to enjoy, and I only had one bite. But sometimes a bite is enough to understand the promise of the whole sandwich, that in this case was cut in half. The pool table was empty which seemed odd because I have never actually seen that in a pub, at least, not in recent memory.

The entire staff is kind and boy are they fast, but you never feel rushed. It is just a great experience. We love when we are in town and have the time to eat there. All of their food is great. We even ordered food to take back to your hotel fo heating up later. Their meatballs are great and we love all of their salads. Their Calamari Fritti is tops. We also love their seabass and salmon. They both have great sauce. All of the sauces they use are great. Everything is just so flavorful. For dessert you must try their Limoncello Cake. It is so great. It is made with layers of sponge cake and lemon infused mascarpone cream, with limoncello sauce, and berries. We love this place.

This was our first time here, since our usual spots in the area were booked for dinner…read more I'll give credit where it's due, the ambiance was very inviting and the interior was very nicely decorated. I felt comfortable and at ease indoors, and the outdoor section seemed very comfortable as well. I went with a rather large party, and at least half of us seemed displeased with our dishes. The portions were generally on the smaller side, inconsistent, and lacking in flavor. That's not to say it's all bad though, the prosciutto melon appetizer was savory, and the lasagna and the mushroom ravioli were satisfying! I did order a tiramisu ladyfinger cake which I was a fan of as well. The service could have used some improvement. I don't believe we were offered refills or asked whether anything was needed after we initially received our orders, and it did not seem particularly busy to the point where the waitstaff would be incapable of dropping by. All things considered, La Traviata was enjoyable in some aspects but it was not much to write home about.

While visiting family in Long Beach, we were on the hunt for a steakhouse for a Sunday lunch and…read morecame across The Carvery. What we didn't expect, but absolutely loved, was their R&B brunch experience. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was lively, fun, and full of energy. The music completely elevated the atmosphere. The DJ not only had an incredible voice but truly knew how to engage and hype up the crowd, making the whole experience feel like more than just a meal. The location itself is beautiful with trendy and upscale decor. Very picturesque. As for the food, I ordered the Maui French toast, and it was phenomenal. It is not your typical French toast--it had a crispy churro crust and this unique whipped cream, the flavor and presentation really stood out. Sweet, rich, and perfectly prepared, it's something I've never had before and would absolutely order again. Overall, this was such a pleasant surprise. Great food, great music, great service, and a good vibey brunch experience. I have another trip to Long Beach in June and will be back to enjoy it again. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area!

Very disappointing experience. We ordered the steak, and it was incredibly dry, while the mashed…read morepotatoes tasted like frozen mashed potatoes you would buy from Walmart. The food was so bad that we barely ate any of it. When we brought this to the manager's attention, instead of addressing the poor quality of the food, she immediately told us we still had to pay for it. At first, she only offered 10% off and a slice of birthday cake, which was honestly insulting considering we couldn't even eat the meal. What made the experience even worse was that she tried to justify the poor quality by saying we came in late and that the food isn't the same at that time. That's simply not an acceptable excuse. If a restaurant is open and serving customers, the quality of the food should be consistent no matter what time you walk in. After going back and forth, she eventually increased the discount to 50%, but still refused to remove the meal from the bill, even though we barely touched it because it was inedible. We weren't looking for a free meal--we just expected food that matched the quality a restaurant should serve and customer service that takes legitimate concerns seriously. Unfortunately, this experience fell far below those expectations, and I won't be returning.

My fiancé and I were looking for a place to drink and eat before a concert and were excited to see the menu for the Auld Dubliner. We came in on a Saturday night and the place was packed! The only place with seating was in the very front of the restaurant, outside. We sat outside looking at the menu, before deciding what we wanted. There wasn't a server or water walking around, so I had gone straight to the bar and talked to the bartender. He was very sweet and tried his best to hear me. Impeccable hearing, I'd say, because it was loud in there. I ordered an IPA with fish and chips. He gave me a number, which I was grateful for to ensure they'd find me outside. I sat outside with my fiancé, and we enjoyed our time people watching. Although they were extremely busy, our food came out within 10 - 15 minutes. The fish was very good; it was crispy and flaky. Their fries were okay, and just a tad bit soggy, probably due to the temperature of the fish. My IPA was cold and good. It's your typical pub and food, but great experience to those visiting. I'll probably be back again if I happen to be back for another concert.
