Popped in for girl dinner with one of my besties and we had a really lovely experience! First of all restaurant was decorated for Halloween: spooky vibes! This is the key place for girl dinner. We ordered the chicken pot pie appetizer, cauliflower bites, and pumpkin ravioli. All were delicious. Our server, Danny, was perfect. He didn't make us feel rushed, made sure our drinks were always full, and even suggested a dessert for us to try ( which we loved). He wasn't pushy, it was like a pal making honest suggestions. read more

I have been to the Ordinarie before the Halloween overlay (and have also gone last year to their Halloween overlay) overall the immersion and decorations are super fun!! The staff is incredibly friendly - there was a server named Isabelle who was super bubbly and honestly made the night. Not listed, but I did have the Horchata cocktail and that was pretty good. I also had another drink, but I don't recall what the name was (that is the one that's pictured). I do think this one was better... as far as the food goes it's certainly OK. The price is just a little steep for what you are getting especially drink size/quality wise. Fortunately, when I have been twice this year, the line has been mostly nonexistent, but normally I've seen the line wrapped around the building and it can be a pretty hefty wait considering it's walk-ins only after 4:30 PM. Overall, I will be back, purely based off of the decor and the incredible service. I do think that the drinks and food portion need a little bit more love considering this is a location already exists and is not necessarily a "pop-up" and at the end of the day, it is advertised as a restaurant/cocktail bar and not just an "experience". Considering I'm a local I'm more likely to come back, but I do think that the restaurant does rely more so on the decor than it does the items it serves. I would give the food and drinks a 3/5 whereas the love & dedication in decor, and service really bumped it up to at least one more "star" for the overall review. read more

We visited The Ordinarie for the first time last year for their Christmas pop-up and had a good time. This time, we came for their Halloween pop-up. I parked in the garage a block north, and it only cost $2 for our 90 minute stay. You can make a reservation but only until 4pm, and it is walk-ups only after that. We visited on Sunday with a 4pm reservation. We checked in and discovered that I goofed and accidentally booked Monday and not Sunday. The host was great and was able to accommodate us at a hi-top table by the bar even though there was already a line outside to get in. It was almost fifteen minutes until we were acknowledged at our table, but everything went smooth after that. The décor is cool with lots of orange and purple lighting, skeletons, skulls, spiders, webs, pumpkins, and various knickknacks. There are cardboard stand-ups of movie characters and even some animatronic ones. A fog machine went off once during our visit and filled the room. The music is pretty loud and is a mix of various songs with a Halloween theme in the name or songs played in Halloween movies. We started out with the Chicken Pot Pie Bites ($18). We had these last year and they were great. This year, they were served warm rather than hot which made them less enjoyable. I started out with the Scream-Sicle (blanco tequila, spiced vanilla liquor, aperitif, carrot & orange cordial, habanero, lemon, $18.95). The habanero was so strong it overpowered everything else. The foam top didn't have any flavor, but made the drink look nice. She started out with the Tangled Web (vodka, ube, passion fruit, vanilla, lemon, prosecco foam, $17.95). This was pretty sweet and it was hard to pick out any of the ingredients. I wanted the French Dip sandwich, but they were out of it. So instead, I had the Ordinarie Burger again with fries ($23). It's a big filling burger with cheese, onions, jalapenos, tomato, pickle, and lettuce. It comes with a large serving of fries. She had the Vegan Burger with a salad ($23). The bun, cheese, and patty are vegan. It was thoughtful of them to come back to the table five minutes later to say that the salad dressing was not vegan and asked if that was ok, which it was. Next, we both had the Liquid Lobotomy (The Haunting rum blend, falernum, pumpkin-spiced pineapple, lime, aromatic bitters, $18.95) which comes in a creepy doll head mug. The pumpkin spice was very strong and overpowering, but I could taste the rum and falernum a little bit. Our server Lucille was very nice, as were the other staff who delivered food and drink. Thanks again to the host, whose name I didn't get, for accommodating us despite my reservation goof. We did buy a baby head mug and cauldron mug ($22 each) to bring home. The décor and vibe are great, the food was good, and the drinks were mediocre. read more

The tik toks are what brought us here. They have amazing Halloween decorations and the themed drinks are amazing! Only downside is we waited in line for over an hour to be seated. Now they do have a time limit for people. I believe we were given something like 90 min to eat and drink. It is plenty of time to enjoy some cocktails and dinner. The portions for the food are hit and miss. I got the butternut ravioli and only got 5 for $26! My friend got a burger which was decent size. The cauliflower was the winner in my opinion. Drinks are very good and you could purchase a souvenir cup if you like. The inside has decorations all over the walls and ceilings and many pictures will be taken. Great atmosphere and good food. read more

I had been to this bar a few years ago for their Christmas holiday pop up and had a great time so I was happy to see there was a Halloween pop up and brought a friend along. Five stars for atmosphere except the fact that they kept the front door open, which let the heat in and, since it was during the day, let daylight in, which kind of destroyed the mood. We tried to change our seat but they have a strange strict policy about not moving tables and specifically assigning certain tables to certain parties. And because this is a popular pop up, there weren't any open seats at the bar which is very immersive and very heavily decorated. We didn't have the best experience with the server that we asked about switching our table, but fortunately that was not our server and we were glad to be at our table because we absolutely loved our server, Cindy. She had great energy and was very responsive to our questions and needs. It was a delight every time she came to our table. And we loved that she and the other servers were dressed up in costume for Halloween even though it was the beginning of October. Every cocktail is themed and comes in its own themed glassware, although you're not allowed to switch up which drink is in which glass. I enjoyed the Tangled Web cocktail in the spider web coupe and the Liquid Lobotomy Tiki style cocktail in the creepy doll head mug. There weren't a lot of gluten-free options for lunch, so I got the Caesar salad without croutons and added salmon. The salad was fine but the salmon was overcooked (I asked for medium rare and it was medium or a bit more than that). But good to have something in my stomach for those cocktails. read more

We've been here a few times, and I've always liked it. They do an awesome Christmas pop up, and I'm sad to say that we'll miss the Halloween pop up this year. But I'll be answer this place is really interesting with so many vintage pictures and paintings and photos on the wall that you hardly see the wall at all. It feels very British. There's a really pretty bar with colored backlighting, and a nice patio for outdoor seating. There was a band playing, and wow! They were really good! All of their covers were on point! The kind of fell flat on the food for me tonight. I did not taste the burger that my husband ordered so I can't speak for that. But I did try the Ordinarie Fries, which the menu said were covered in beef gravy, green chili cheese sauce, and cheese. It sounded really delicious and interesting so we ordered that as an appetizer. It was quite a let down. It wasn't really smothered, so you pretty much didn't have any toppings on the fries below. The beef gravy was good, but I didn't ever get a taste of green chili and that bummed me out. I would not order these again. I ordered the wedge salad and add it on salmon. The wedge salad was pretty basic. There was very little bacon on it and way too much blue cheese. In fact, I ended up leaving a huge amount of blue cheese on my plate. The salmon was quite small and super salty. Overall I was not happy at all with the food here, although I will say I've had good food here before. Also, my husband and son thought their food was pretty good. I would come back, but order something different. And absolutely come back for their pop-ups which are amazing! read more

Had to add this location last minute to my personal event I host each year in different cities. We were able to get a table altogether. Nice variety of drinks.

Definitely a great spot for a night out. read more

The Ordinarie - 5th annual beer walk fest - minions - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

I've been coming here for years now. Every year, I do the xmas pop ups at least twice in Dec with my group of friends. I've been to every Halloween pop up, they have been doing this for 2 years now. I was there on Sunday 10/04 and had the MOST HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. First, it started at the enterance. My reservation was at 3:45pm. Security checked our ID's and then asked us if we had a reservation. He asked us to wait in line. We were the first ones in line with a reservation anyways and figured we would have to wait just like the others who were still waiting for their 3:30 reservation. No biggie. But. then a much larger group came and stood in front of us who had a 4pm reservation. We didn't think much of it and were waiting patiently until 3:30 and 4pm were called up first and seated before us. It wasn't even 4pm yet! Made security aware of his mistake and we barely got an apology. I let it go and still had to wait more time to be seated. So then we get seated, it takes 30 mins to just get water. No one has came around to take our order or say they will be with us in a few, nothing. As we are waiting another party of 2 come and sit next to us. They waited half the time and were helped before us!!! Welp, it gets worse you just wait. We get our food first, still no drinks. Drinks got there much later. Well, I started to eat my food cause I didn't want it to get cold. Not time to wait for drinks water will do. I bite into my pot pie it was barely warm. I decide to keep eating it until i got to end of the bite and that's when i got cold juice and the dough was mushy. I made the waitress aware (she had just taken over our table) and she put in another order. Not even 5 mins later, I get my second order. I noticed one bit was a little burnt on top but whatever at this point i'm not trying to ruin the experience for my friend. I go to pull apart my 2 bites and i notice the reason why they were stuck. The dough was RAW and the chicken inside was FROZEN. I had my friend poke it because i was shocked and couldn't belive this BS. Called the waitress over she was really sorry and i showed her how i couldn't even cut into the chicken and you could see the ice on the chicken. She offered to bring out another order but I was done. I didn't want to be disrespected yet again by this establishment. She said she would have the manager come talk to me. I didn't really care to do so but he came. He came to the table a little strong and aggressive. Telling me he actually touched the bite and it was WARM. My friend and I sat there SHOCKED! We all poked it and felt it ICE COLD!!!! So, basically calling me a liar to my face. He's telling me he will get another order out, I refused. I told him I would only pay for the 2 drinks and 1 order of the pot pies. He kept going on about how it was only the second day and he didn't hire enough staff and blah blah blah. I don't mind waiting i'm okay with that. But when others are seated before me and waited before me, then the food went from cold to FROZEN. I have a damn problem. He should've saved his "apology", if you can call it that. He did cover our 3 items which was the least he would do after all disrespect i've endured. I sat there waiting for my friend to finish her food and we finished drinks and left. Cindy our waitress took over after the first waitress left to lunch. She was really nice and none of this was her fault. I asked if I could tip her and she refused and said we didn't have to. I wanted to so I did. I insisted! At this point, the manager came around the corner and i could hear him on her about the tip. I had to intervene and tell him I WANTED TO DO THIS FOR HER. He was really out of line with her!!! She was trying to explain to him that i insisted on tipping and he was not listening to her! Get a new manager. This guy is not a people person. He's a gaslighting individual who has now cost you loyal customer. Days ago I get one of your loyal customer emails. Nice way of treating your loyal customers. P.S. It was very obvious who they wanted to seat & serve first and it wasn't the Latina and Black girl. read more

The Ordinarie - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is for the Halloween pop up experience. Me and my girls were so excited for this pop up, we came here earlier in the day so we were sat pretty quickly. Right away our server Andres Alexander was very rude and unfriendly, I explained I wanted to buy the doll head he proceed to tell me I had to get the drink that comes with the doll head, he failed to let me know that I can just order any drink and I can purchase the doll head separately. I ended up getting the drink that comes with the doll head Liquid lobotomy, and it was not good at all. Two ordered the Tangled Web and it tasted like straight up cough syrup. Among the food we ordered, we had wings, mac and cheese and chicken pot pie bites, the mac n cheese was bland and the chicken pot pie bites were lacking chicken. My cousin wanted a kids hamburger meal as she had a small appetite and the server told her No. For a bill that was over $278 I really didn't see the issue as to why she couldn't have the kids burger, we already had a child in the group. I told the server I wanted a margarita bc I was not liking the drinks he annoyingly snapped and asked well which one as they just don't make any marg. Lastly, we ordered a pumpkin pie, the food runner brought out the pie and another dessert we did not order, he said that since we didn't order it and it was already there he will leave it and walked away. We started to sample the desserts when the server comes running up saying if you're gonna eat it, it needs to be charged!! How was that mistake our problem? Overall, Horrible service, bad drinks and mediocre food, I hate to think they pick and choose who they want to service, we were sure spooked out of there and not in a good way!! read more

My wife and I had an excellent Sunday brunch experience here. We sat in their shaded patio and listened to the duet jazz band sipping cocktails and eating delicious food. I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them. Perfect service, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food will definitely have me returning very soon! Parking is free for 2 hours at the nearby garage on 3rd and is a very short walk. The closer garage on Broadway is not free. You can make restaurant reservations on their website but it wasn't needed when we went. read more

I am here to review The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie, that's how late my Yelp reviews are coming in. Sorry!! TLDR; It's expensive, and not worth the routine visit, but worth the one-time stop in to experience the festivities. The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie is somehow even more decorated and extravagant than you'd expect from a seasonal pop-up. The line looks long outside, as there are no reservations, but it moves quickly since they hold everybody to a pretty strict 2-hour time limit. The drinks are good, the cups are cute, and everyone is festive. It's an all-around fun experience.  I think because of this, you do pay a premium price tag for food and drinks that are just good or okay. I think it's something that is worth the visit if you've never been and you enjoy getting into the Christmas spirit. I think that outside of the pop-up, The Ordinarie is a fun spot to check out in Long Beach. It't not a pillar of the food scene if you're a tourist, but it is a good, late night spot if you work in the industry nearby. They have a great late-night menu with a killer smash burger. read more

Glad i got to try the ordinarie during the holidays! They had the miracle christmas menu drinks. My friends and I really enjoyed the food that was served here! We shared the mac and cheese topped with short rib, buffalo wings, fried cauliflower, and sweet potato fries. The mac and cheese with short rib was so delicious, one of the best mac and cheeses I have tried. We went on a Monday night after Christmas so there was no wait. read more

Happen to find this location through Instagram. It portrays a Christmas experience while dining. Went here on a Thursday at 3pm with no reservations. Did a walk up through the front counter host. No problem, he sat us down for a party of 5! I read the reviews and most of the reviews stated it will be a long wait without reservations. We definitely got lucky. As we were seated, we were all in awe of all the beautiful Christmas decorations inside the restaurant. This is exactly what we wanted! "A Christmas experience!" Waited a few minutes for our waiter to take our order. Pretty much just ordered everything all at once. Devil Eggs and Christmas Drink Cheers. We received our food within 10 to 15 minutes. The drinks were fantastic and the food was delicous. Our waitress did an outstanding job. She always attended to us. Kudos to her!! If you want good food and want to get into the holiday spirit, this is the place to go to!! You only have a few days to experience it before Christmas comes! Overall, I would come back. I loved the energy and Decor. Not sure how this place is when the holidays are over. But still would like to experience this place at is normality. Great food, good service. A+ There is a dine in time of 2hrs, which is fair due to popular demand. read more

My husband and I had zero plans to visit a Christmas pop-up bar that night. We'd just come from drinks at Halo rooftop nearby and figured we'd "quickly check out" this location before heading home. Best kind of accident ever. Walking in felt like stepping inside the most over-the-top, joyful Christmas movie set. Every inch of the ceiling is dripping with lights, tinsel, stockings, ornaments, and paper lanterns, we were instantly obsessed. The vibe is pure holiday magic, never felt overwhelming. After years of saying "we should do one of those Christmas pop-up bars," we finally stumbled into the perfect one without even trying. The cocktails are delicious and lean sweet (exactly what you want this time of year), but they're perfectly balanced, not cloying. Every drink is served in the cutest holiday themed mugs. If you want to feel like a kid on Christmas morning while sipping a ridiculously cute cocktail, recommend checking this place out! read more

I gave The Ordinarie five stars purely for their Christmas pop-up because it's truly top tier and hands down my favorite holiday bar. The space is decorated to perfection. I loved the over-the-top, gaudy holiday décor, and the cheeky Santa was my favorite touch. The vibes alone are immaculate and worth recommending for that reason. The food, however, was just okay. My boyfriend and I ordered the deviled eggs, mac and cheese, wings, and cauliflower, and we both agreed it was mid and a bit overpriced for what it was. The drinks were a different story...we loved them! I got the alcohol-free hot chocolate, which was incredibly rich and flavorful. My boyfriend ordered the eggnog cocktail and later the alcoholic hot chocolate, and he really enjoyed both. Despite how busy it was, our waitress was attentive and lovely, which we really appreciated. We had a reservation and were seated right away, which was a huge plus given the long line and how packed the place was. When you arrive, they give you a card letting you know you have the table for 90 minutes, and they kindly wrapped things up right on time. read more

I've never had a restaurant refuse to honor a confirmed reservation. This review isn't about a restaurant making an honest mistake (things happen, I get it). It's about how management handled it. We made a reservation three days in advance to watch the Mexico World Cup match. We arrived 10 min early to our reservation in anticipation of the crowds. We received confirmation by both email and text, but when we arrived, we were told there was no reservation and "nothing they could do." Despite showing proof of our confirmed reservation, they refused to honor it and told us there were no tables available. Seconds later, another group walked up and asked to join the waitlist, and he gladly added them. I then asked why we couldn't be added--considering we had a confirmed reservation--and only then did he put us on the list. When a restaurant makes a mistake, the bare minimum is trying to make it right. We should have been given priority on the waitlist. Instead, after nearly two hours of waiting, we were still ninth in line even though the wait time for our table size showed 0 minutes. We left without ever being seated. Thankfully before the match began, we walked over to Broken Spirits (5 min walk away) where they seated us within 15 minutes and even gave us complimentary drinks to celebrate the game. The difference in hospitality was incredible. This wasn't my first disappointing experience here, either. On a previous visit, I waited outside to be seated for so long that I eventually gave up and seated myself at the bar. To make matters worse, the food and drinks don't justify the price. Cocktails are around $20, filled with ice, and underwhelming. As a customer, I left Ordinarie feeling dismissed and disrespected. Between the poor service, overpriced menu, and management's complete lack of accountability, I won't be returning. If you're in the DTLB area, I would recommend better drinks/better service at Broken Spirits or Midnight Oil :) read more

Parked in the structure across the street and walked over. We usually sit at the bar top and go during off hours so there's hardly a wait. They decorate for holidays like Halloween and Christmas which is VERY COOL but also gets very popular and crowded so go early. Drinks are a hit or miss but we usually go to grab a beer before heading off to our next stop. read more

Came for their Christmas pop-up and to celebrate my birthday. This was my first time at The Ordinarie, so I wasn't sure what the space looked like without the holiday setup--but it definitely felt like Christmas inside. The décor was cute, festive, and a bit overstimulating, but still fun for the season. My husband and I were there just for drinks. I ordered the Rudolph's Replacement (vodka, coffee liqueur, white crème de cacao, orange curaçao, chai, almond milk, aromatic bitters), and it was so good! We came on a Monday around 6pm, so there was no wait and it wasn't packed. Just a heads-up: there's a 2-hour time limit, and they stick to it. They even place a card on your table with your start and end time. Also worth noting--they don't allow walk-up orders at the bar. You must be seated at a table or at the bar itself to order. read more

We had about a 30-minute wait, but honestly it flew by. Shoutout to our servers, Viri and Andres, who kept the vibes great from start to finish. The menu itself is super fun, which made ordering half the experience. I went with the "Yippee Ki Yay Mother F****r!"--nutty, strong, but perfectly balanced with a touch of sweetness. Also tried the Naughty Shot, which was spicy but surprisingly good, and the Snow Day Sipper, which might actually be the best hot chocolate I've ever had. And can we talk about the decor? Whoever decorated this place deserves a raise. I clocked a few Dollar Tree finds, so I know they did this on a budget--and absolutely made it WORK. Cozy, creative, and full of personality. Definitely worth the wait. That said, I'm giving 3 stars because the drinks felt a bit pricey for the amount we got. My friend and I ordered the same drink, and hers looked like it had way more ice than actual drink. We pointed it out, and they were nice enough to take both drinks back to remake them, but when they came back, they were still heavily iced. Overall, great vibes and flavors, but the portion-to-price ratio could definitely be better. The cups they came in were super cute tho. And we got to keep the naughty and nice shots so that was a plus as well. read more

Visited the day after Christmas for the Miracle Christmas pop up cocktail bar. We did the walk in option as there are no reservations after 4pm. We waited about twenty minutes for a party of 4. Upon being seated, they handed us a card that provided us a time frame for our table. I wish we had known this ahead of time as two of the four of us were seated while the rest of the party was parking. I would have liked the few extra minutes. The experience felt a bit rushed because of that. As for the food and drinks, I was so impressed. I ordered the beet salad and I absolutely loved it! I also tried the hatch Mac and cheese- that was delicious. The ambience was calm and merry. The playlist consisted mostly of Christmas music- so that's nice if you're into that. I will definitely be back next year. read more

I came here for my first time ever specifically for the haunting Halloween event while everything was decorated so nice and spooky and the ambiance looked great our experience was not so great . Our waiter was just so unfriendly it made our experience not so great . The food was okay we order some appetizers and my niece order off the kids menu , which I also wanted to order off of because I have a small appetite. When our server arrives, I was informed that I would not be able to order from the kids menu because I was not under the age of 12. Nowhere on the kids menu. Did it state that? I let it slide and order the chicken pot pie bites , they should've called those chicken less because there was literally no chicken it was just a bunch of vegetables with the sauce to dip it in . We continue with the service towards the end we end up ordering dessert , we order pumpkin pie . When the dessert arrived, a sever came out with a pumpkin dessert and a cookie dessert. We had to inform him that we didn't order the cookie dessert and he said not to worry that it would be on the house. About 5 min later our actual server came out and informed us in a rude way that the dessert in fact would NOT be comped and that we would have to pay for a dessert that we did not order . So first I can't even have the burger off the kids menu that I actually wanted and then to top it off. I have to pay for a dessert that I didn't order. And did I mention our bill was close to 300 dollars for okay food and the drinks were okay too . Would I come here again probably not . The only thing nice about this place was the decor read more

The Ordinarie, on the Promenade in Downtown Long Beach, does an over-the-top Holiday Pop Up every December. The entire restaurant, walls, ceilings, every possible surface, is decorated to the max!! A reservation is a must, and can be difficult to obtain, with a strict 2 hr time limit, for this holiday extravaganza. The menu is full of speciality cocktails, even served (for an additional cost) in kitschy holiday themed glassware, that you can take home. The menu is somewhat "Pub Fare". I ordered their Burger, which was delicious! (I have eaten here before and remember that meal to be excellent, as well.) The service was very good. The holiday theme is a bit overwhelming and it's noisy (a bit hard for a group to converse), but it's something to experience. I would recommend The Ordinarie any time of year. read more

The Ordinarie, well known for their christmas decorations and overload of holiday themed drinks has been a gathering spot during the December time frame. So does it stack to the expectations or does it sink? The fact is the food is priced around $20-30 and the drinks are around $15-25 which can be considered somewhat pricey for some. The food is well cooked and typical americana style. You'll get some fries and typical salads. Nothing is surprising. The cocktails are good but wont blow your santa themed socks off. The service could make it stand out but its also bland. They have it tough as there are so many tables and people to serve. So be kind! Expect to pay around $100 for a group of two with two entrees, two main cocktails, two shots, and no dessert. read more

In the Xmas season this place is decked out to put you in the mood. Themed food, drinks, and merch will help set the spirit of the winter season. The food was good and my partner liked a cocktail. The service was polite, but some other complaints about timing might have merit as things were a bit slow to get started. If your group is small - say 2 - I'd try to sit to the right of the entrance and take advantage of the Yule log video on the screen near bar. Otherwise you might get put in one section that started feel crowded over time. Also, all that holiday decor may be paid for by food prices being a bit on the high side given you're looking at sandwiches, fries and a soda + 1 cocktail. read more

Met up with a group of girls to experience the holiday pop-up. After 3pm a line starts to get in and they don't take reservations so be prepared for a wait. Once seated you're only allowed to be there for 2 hours. The drinks were nothing spectacular. I've had better tasting craft cocktails. The mugs are available for purchase. when it came time to settle the bill, each person was given their own separate checks. However, when it came to my turn to pay the server didn't note that gratuity had already been included so not knowing I added an extra %. Yet it was mentioned to the other girls. It's a one and done experience for me read more

If you are looking for a Halloween themed Tavern look no further. We went to check out the new pop up "The Haunting" at the Ordinarie and let's just say It was very impressive! The decorations were amazing and covered every inch of the place, it was truly spooktacular! The Service was great and our waitress Ashlynn did a wonderful job helping us choose some favorites. We started off with a round of liquid lobotomy's which started the night off STRONG! We added on some yummy sweet potato fries and bbq wings. Ended on a high night with their Widow's Whisper, which was the start of the show! Overall, It was a great first opening night and will be back to see what's next! read more

Another great night at the ordinarie!! We went here for a whiskey tasting (check out women who whiskey Long Beach- there's also a club in LA!). The restaurant provided some great snacks including a really delicious popovers, which are warm and savory cheese puff pastries. I had the beet salad which had a nice assortment of mesclun greens with the beets and some crunch added by smoked almonds. And- one of the best old fashioneds I've ever sipped. They had a really creative spin on this classic cocktail by adding vermouth, banana liqueur and cocoa bitters!! Service at the bar was superb. read more

Every time I visit The Ordinarie Restaurant, it's a consistently great experience--good food, great drinks, and even better service. But this visit was extra special. It's October, and I learned this was their first time decorating for Halloween--and let me tell you, they went all out! The space was transformed with festive details that struck the perfect balance between spooky and fun. Our waiter was fantastic, attentive without hovering, and clearly enjoying the lively atmosphere. The food was delicious, as always, and the drinks were Halloween-themed, adding a creative (and tasty) twist to the evening. What a perfect way to kick off the October festivities--a little eerie, a little elegant, and a whole lot of fun. read more

Dear Team at The Ordinarie Tavern, The Ordinarie has officially become one of our favorite places! We love it so much that we cannot wait to bring more of our friends and family. During our visit, we wanted to try everything on the menu. The presentation was very nice, the food and the cocktails was delicious, the portions were just right and the prices were reasonable. Booking a reservation was super easy. I reserved a patio table for 6 guests at 6:30pm on a Friday night in the middle of summer! I was easily able to modify it and received text verification of my reservation. I didn't pay a dime to use the online booking system. The ambiance was very nice, semi private and the weather was perfect However, the best part of our evening was our server, Isabella. She was incredibly welcoming, attentive, animated, and knowledgeable. She truly made our night! With much gratitude, Brenda read more
