    Cold chewy Grilled Grass Fed Steak
    Keben P.

    It's good to someone who doesn't know better . Good service but food no good. Had better expectations.

    Jemila P.

    After a morning of exercise, we stopped in for a late lunch. I ordered two chicken strips, macaroni & cheese, and a Caesar salad. My friend had a house salad (hold the jicama) with grilled salmon. We both had the dragonfruit lemonade. Each of our meals were enjoyable and service was excellent. Eddie made sure that we had everything we needed at our table and checked in after we began eating. The restaurant was clean and had several other patrons at different tables without being too busy or crowded.

    Wow this place was sooo delicious. Hubby and I wanted to eat something healthy while walking around 2nd and PCH and this joint hit the spot! It was immaculate inside. Lots of space. And the food was so dang good. I got the blackened salmon with mushrooms and potatoes and I ate it all so fast like it was a race because it was just that good! Oh and there was this coconut lime drink that was incredible! I was so sad when I finished the drink because I didn't want it to end Would come back here 100%

    It's been a while since we stopped by, and today was the day to be back lol.... Food was amazing, tasty and delicious. Service was ok she looked a little stressed out, it's Labor Day, was quite busy. Ambiance was very clean, can't wait to come back

    Niçoise Wild Ahi Nioise Salad
    Michelle G.

    Always a solid choice. We ordered the salad niçoise, truffle fries, and the Mediterranean bowl--everything was fresh, well-balanced, and exactly what we were craving. Paola was wonderful: attentive, friendly, and made the experience feel easy and relaxed. We especially love coming here because there are plenty of options, the location at PCH & 2nd is super convenient with parking, and the healthier menu items with calorie information make it easy to stay on track with macros while still enjoying a meal out. Finished with the mango tart, which was the perfect light dessert. Consistently reliable and enjoyable.

    Brought the BFF to the Shops on 2nd after wine tasting on a Friday evening since we were close by & had never been. Was getting a little hungry and was trying to decide where to eat with the limited amount of restaurants in this shopping center and came across this place. I am not a big fan of order at the counter types of restaurants but I get the concept is pretty popular with such places as Woodfire Grill, Lemonade, Corner Bakery, to name a few...anyway, I ordered the grilled chicken breast plate with mac n' cheese and brussel sprouts. My BFF ordered the grass fed steak plate with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The portion sizes are perfect (not too small, not too big) but the food was lacking flavor. My mac n' cheese was too watery and the chicken still had the skin on it but not crispy as it was Haisan style, which grossed me out. The chicken was also a bit overcooked as it was rubbery in some pieces. My friend liked his steak but he said overall it was lacking flavor. Their natural soda selection is nice, but also overpriced. Overall, we paid 52 bucks for two entrees and two drinks, which is pricey for an order at the counter type of place. Food quality is better than fast food, of course, but I'd rather frequent Corner Bakery instead. Service was great, though, and one of the managers asked us to rate the place on Google for a free oatmeal cookie. The cookie was good but super crumbly. I doubt I would patronize this location again, but perhaps willing to try another location.

    Food was amazing and came out quickly. Highly recommend their tenders and blackened Salomon.

    Steak with mushrooms and truffle fries

    This is the Urban plates at 2nd and PCH in Long Beach. There is plenty of parking on site. The parking garage if free for the first 90 minutes. Then after that it is $2 per hour. There is free street parking on the Marina side of the center. Urban Plates is Casual chain restaurant with a cosy, rustic and industrial vibe. Order at the check-in stand or from the QR code posted on your table. You can pretty much make your own plate with multiple protein choices including chicken, turkey, steak, shrimp or salmon. They have lots of sides to choose from such as mashed potatoes, a variety of veggies, french fries etc... Your plate includes 2 sides of choice and a slice of bread. They also have burgers, sandwiches, salads as well as yummy desserts, beer and wine. Lots of options to choose from. They have a self serve water station. Today i had the grilled steak which is cooked medium by default (pink in the middle). It comes cut in small slices. On the side i ordered the truffle fries and the garlic parmesan mushrooms. For the sauce i tried the Lemon Hollandaise for the first time. The steak was tender but a bit chewy. I did not care for the lemon Hollandaise sauce and it did not pair up well with the steak. I recommend the Chimichuri instead which is my usual go to and my favorite. The garlic parmesan mushrooms and the truffle fries were really good. Prices are average and the staff is always very friendly and accommodating. I always have a good experience there. Great for a quick, tasty and casual meal anytime. I recommend trying them out.

    My girlfriend swears by this place! My friend has a lot of autoimmune diseases and when I eat anything delicious I'm flaring in bed for days. So she recommended it! Coincidentally, it's been on my mom's list of places to try as well. I drive by all the time. I parked in the closest parking garage and it wasn't a far walk at all. This place is located at 2nd and PCH which has a bunch of great stores and atmosphere. Also, a lot of parking. Some close up, some not so close up if you don't mind the walking When I walked in there was a counter you order at and the huge menu. They had great options like turmeric ginger rice and hummus. So I ordered one of their plates. The - Chimichurri Grass Fed Steak and then it comes with two sides. (I ordered The turmeric rice and hummus) I also got the Chimichurri on the side) We also ordered- The braised beef and mushrooms. seasoned natural beef, slow cooked with red wine sauce, whole mushrooms, yellow onions, organic carrots, celery, garlic and fresh parsley They also offer a bunch of organic drinks such as organic lemonade and organic teas and etc Fresh ingredients and none of that added stuff. This place has food for vegans, vegetarians and good food that actually fills me up without flaring me too bad Also, the organic mashed potatoes with no gravy were awesome After we ordered they give you a number for your table and bring it to you. The place was extremely packed on a random day and random hour. But they do have a huge amount of seating It did come out really fast, so I was impressed. We did get back up to look at the desserts in the case. Everything looked amazing but we were so stuffed. (They have hummingbird cake, which where I am from it's sooo popular. I'm coming back for this) Prices were great to be honest They have a pretty large menu for everyone Great outdoor seating that's dog friendly They do catering Side note. They take food allergies serious. So if you have any, don't hold back. There's plenty of options. Whatever diet you are on, here's the place to go. They also have a lot of low calorie options

    Grilled Portobello Mushroom Sandwich. Sesame broccoli
    Tash M.

    Urban plates will always do you a solid. Lots of healthier and tasty options, and the offerings have always been on point. Total reliability. Today I had the portobello sandwich and sesame broccoli- both very agreeable. They also have some neat drinks and dessert options. Service has always been quick and interior is clean. I love the lack of plastic- all metal utensils and water dispenser with paper cups.

He was kind, polite, and carried himself with such warmth -- and yes, those curls were beautiful. He set the tone for the entire experience. Demetrius seated us, and our server Joe took great care of us. For starters, we ordered the wedge salad and the meatballs. Both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For our entrées, we had the grilled salmon with bok choy and mashed potatoes, and the steak sandwich with French fries. Everything was delicious, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The ambience was wonderful. They have a full bar, and you can watch the chefs prepare dishes right from your table, which adds to the experience. I also appreciated seeing the general manager actively running food and engaging with guests -- leadership like that shows. Another thing that stood out was how clean and organized the restaurant stayed. The moment a table was vacated, it was cleared and reset within minutes. Everything looked spotless. There's so much on the menu that I want to come back and try. I highly recommend this place. And last but definitely not least -- thank you, Demetrius, for noticing my parking time had expired and getting me that extra 15 minutes. You saved me a ticket. You're a true gem. I'll be back to Saint & Second very soon.

The Bake Mac & Cheese is a must-order--the crunchy topping is easily the best part and gives it such a great texture. We also tried the Grilled Provoleta. It's a seared provolone with portobello mushrooms and pickled peppers; it doesn't have a typical "cheese pull," but the flavors are incredible and it feels surprisingly light for a cheese dish. The 1st-floor outdoor patio is super comfortable and dog-friendly, making it the perfect spot to relax. Highly recommend if you're in Long Beach with your pup!

One visit we waited over 40 minutes without being acknowledged, another time our order came out wrong, and another time the food arrived cold like it had been sitting for quite a while. Because of that, I honestly did not want to come back tonight. But I was craving a good steak, and after my husband suggested giving 908 another try, I reluctantly agreed. I noticed the filet mignon on the menu paired with broccolini and decided to go for it. From the moment we walked in, the experience felt completely different. The hostess was warm and welcoming and seated us immediately. A young man came over right away with waters and took our drink order, which already surprised us in the best way. Then Alex S came to our table, and he truly made the night exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful in making sure my order was exactly how I wanted it. I mentioned that I didn't want a large piece of butter melting over the steak, and he happily accommodated that request. He even checked on the exact ounce size of the filet for me, which I appreciated. We ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer, and honestly, they were the best Brussels sprouts we've ever had. Perfectly cooked, not drowning in sauce, and absolutely packed with flavor. My 8 oz filet mignon was cooked perfectly medium rare, exactly as ordered. The broccolini was crisp, fresh, and not overly oily. Everything tasted thoughtful, balanced, and worth every dollar. Most importantly, Alex S delivered spectacular service from start to finish. We were genuinely shocked to learn this was his first night shift because he handled the dining room with professionalism, warmth, and confidence far beyond what we expected. Thank you, Alex S, for completely changing our impression of 908. Tonight's experience was excellent, and for the first time, we are actually excited to come back. Thanks again, Jed Dornoff
