We also ordered the ube Basque cheesecake, and it was easily one of the best desserts I've had recently--rich, creamy, and not too sweet. Our server, Sergio, made the experience even better.

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.

They also have pies and cookies here Good experience at the pan. Sunset lemonade 10/10 The best i ever had! Get one! The lumberjack plate 8/10

I'll definitely stick to the asada next time! This location is always clean, and I love the decor and overall vibe. Just make sure to get there early because they definitely get busy! Always a solid breakfast spot in LB.

As…read moreluck would have it, we went to a concert over the weekend and decided to find food somewhere between the venue and our house on our way back home. The food did NOT disappoint!! The dining room was pretty empty but I was eyeballing the patio section (cuz I WILL be coming back)! I didn't realize it was counter ordering, (which sometimes gives me a sense of pressure cuz I like to take my time reviewing every item on the menu first), but luckily there were folks in front of us and nobody behind us (so I had a little time). I ordered the brisket grilled cheese and waffle fries, while my husband had the Nashville hot chicken fries. They had a BOGO deal on beer (he approved of the Mexican Lager) and I had the strawberry lemonade. Everything was amazing and the workers were really nice. We'll be back!!

Finally made it out and they are about to close. :(…read more It was very busy when we arrived and we had to wait about 20 minutes, but after being seated, everything was smooth. Trying several items on the menu provided us a nice sampling of what they have to offer. We enjoyed everything we ordered. My favorite was probably the Brussel sprouts as they were cooked to perfection and not sweet like most restaurants serve them. A close 2nd was the chicken parmesan served over zucchini noodles. The final item ordered was a mushroom pasta with shrimp. The shrimp were fantastic with a light char and perfect flavoring. The pasta was good. It was a bit to spicy for me with the chili oil so I only had a small portion. The inside is simple yet inviting with an open layout. They seemed a bit short staffed, but every one was hustling and honestly we were well taken care of. Sad I won't have another opportunity to try more of the menu, but grateful to squeeze in this visit before they close in about a week.

The restaurant was busy with constant traffic, however I didn't feel rushed. We ordered calamari, house bread and mozzarella balls. The calamari was crispy, Cajun and delicious we really enjoyed the fried lemon slices! The mozzarella balls we're good but the house bread was a stand out! It's warm, flaky,savory and the tomato chili fenell butter complemented very well. For entrees we ordered the grilled branzino, short rib Agnotolli and the truffle pesto lasagna. The Branzino was perfect and the chili crunch herb salad was amazing. The short rib agnotolli was very savory and I loved the robiola bosina. The lasagna was very good and cheesy.

The seasoning was packed with flavor from the very first bite, and every bite after that just kept getting better. The chicken had the perfect crunch on the outside while staying incredibly juicy and tender on the inside. It honestly felt like it was cooked to perfection. What really stood out was how balanced everything was. Sometimes hot chicken places focus only on the spice, but here the flavor comes first. The seasoning complemented the chicken instead of overpowering it, making every bite memorable. You can tell they take pride in what they're serving because the quality shines through. This is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to, and I already know I'll be bringing my guys that hoop with me because they're always asking me where the best chicken sandwich is. There are still a few things on the menu I need to try, but if they're anywhere near as good as this sandwich, I know I'm in for another great meal.

It's got a lot of floral around the restaurant and vintage pictures around. The food is a real pleasant surprise. I got the breakfast burrito and it was top 3 best of my existence. Scambled eggs, bacon bits, hash browns and cheese all rolled into a flour tortilla and sealed to perfection. It came out perfectly split in two. Very impressive. It also came with a side salad, which I wasn't expecting but it didn't have any dressing on it. Still good. My wife had the French toast with scrambled eggs and on top of of the toast were strawberries, blueberries, and a light helping of whipped cream. I got a taste of them and they were pretty good. She didn't want bacon and got it with sausage instead. She had a cup of cafe de oya and said it was good and reminded it of her mom. Overall, the price was great and the service was top notch. Can't wait to come back and try more stuff.

One of my favorite things about them is their "Hoppy Hour," offered daily from 3-6 PM and then from 9 PM-close. They have a great selection of bites at pretty budget-friendly prices, starting at just $4! Some of my go-to Hoppy Hour orders are the Half-Order Truffle Cheese Fries, Mac N' Cheese Balls, Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts, and Nachos with added steak. The Truffle Cheese Fries are always a must for me. The fries are covered in this decadent white truffle cheese sauce that is so savory and flavorful. The Mac N' Cheese Balls are perfectly crunchy on the outside and filled with beer cheese sauce and Fresno chiles with ranch on the side for dipping. The Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts are one of my favorites because they have this orange chile glaze that is super addicting. For something a little more filling, I like getting the Nachos and adding steak. They come with refried beans, chipotle sauce, crema, jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro. I always ask for extra onions, tomatoes and cilantro on the side. For the steak, we ordered it medium rare, and they cooked it perfectly! Now, let's talk about the burgers because every burger I've tried here has been solid. I've had the Barbecue Bacon Burger, which comes with shoestring onions, bacon, cheddar, and beer barbecue sauce. You really can't go wrong with this classic. My current top two favorites are the Fresno Fig Burger and the Wagyu Bone Marrow Burger. The Fresno Fig has this delicious sweet-and-savory combination with fig marmalade, melted goat cheese, and bacon. I love how the sweetness of the fig contrasts with the tanginess of the goat cheese and the savory/salty bacon. The Wagyu Bone Marrow Burger is definitely on the decadent side with bone marrow shiitake butter, grilled onions, and horseradish mustard aioli. Everything comes together to make a rich and flavorful burger. It's one of the pricier burgers on the menu, but for me, it's worth every dime! For something on the lighter side, I've also tried the Cobb Salad with added grilled chicken and the Caesar Salad with seared salmon. Nothing particularly groundbreaking, but it's always nice to get some greens in between all those burgers and fries. I'm always coming back to Eureka! for their "Hoppy Hour" and burgers. Eureka! continues to be such a reliable comfort-food spot.

Then ordered our dinner which was 2 burgers and a protein bowl for me. Protein bowl was a big miss! Sad because it's my favorite dish!
