We wanted a quick lunch and we found this restaurant right next to the Convention Center in Long Beach. We ordered their bacon salad and added chicken in it. We also ordered the tuna nachos. Our orders were served to us fast but most importantly, the food was delicious, the quality was great and the service was excellent!
The staff we’re friendly, kind and clearly happy to be there. That makes a huge difference in the dining experience. Unfortunately, the food was just OK. We had the tuna app, tacos and tofu sliders. I didn’t finish the tuna. It was hard to leave it on the plate, but it just wasn’t fresh.
We made reservation for Sat night. 7:30 pm. Called when we got there to be let in. No one ever answer the phone ten times in total. But ok we were able to get in because done one just let the door open. The door man knew we were trying to get in but he just ignored us . Yes he saw us but chose to ignore us. So we got up to the balcony and told the server our reservation and she just said sit anywhere. Ok that’s fine. We went to a table and it was filthy. The table itself was sticky and the chairs were full of crumbs. The waitress tries hard but she didn’t even come to our table which is steps away from the bar for 15 min. We finally ordered our drinks and well we were informed that some of the ingredients were not available so it will be without the topping. Ok so fine. 30 min later our drinks are still not ready. The waitress apologize but another 15 min she came out with our drinks . My cosmo were not ice cold! So we ordered the food. The tacos and spicy shrimp. What a disappointment when it finally came out another 30 min later. Spicy shrimp is walnut shrimp from any Chinese restaurant with sriracha added to the mayonnaise sauce. All they did was put a slice of those fancy pretty radish slices which were dry and not fresh in between the shrimp 16$. The tacos with blue corn tortilla were tiny with a tasteless green sauce and meat that were my seasoned at all. And yeah they ran out of silverware so we were given plastic forks and spoons in the style of take out Chinese food . Thank goodness fir the disposable silverware because they came with packages of salt and peppers because that’s what you need! Another 16$. We should have just walk out when the drinks took 40 mins or when nobody came to our table to get our orders . Fir the two of us it was more than 80$. This was a big fail. She should have walked down the street where the food trucks were and fill our bellies with much much better food for much much better price. This place has only the balcony going for them. Don’t be fooled with the positive reviews. Just went last weekend during the Irish festival when most ppl were at the food trucks so it wasn’t busy. Do not recommend. It’s a pretentious place where u pretend to have fancy drinks all night . Dirty . Slow even for simple food that shouldn’t take more than 15 min.
Great for locals to have a drink when not busy. Gets overwhelmed by conventioneers and concert goers on random days. Happy for their business, but staff gets overwhelmed because they can't justify maintaining necessary staff levels for the down days. Menu has changed a lot in brief existence. Hope it gets settled as downtown comes back to life.
Really bad experience. I reserved a table for 18 persons online for 7pm. They had no table when I arrived. It took them 45 minutes to arrange us a table. Then when we finally had a chance to seat and eat, they closed the kitchen and bar. They pushed us out of the restaurant when my colleagues still had wine on their glasses. Just rude, inefficient and uninteresting food. Sorry, dissatisfying
Really nice place, but I think the menu needs to get better, I beleve it needs more options like sushi, carpaccio etc. A little bit more healthy options. I order a salad and was really good, but food is confort food mostly. The drinks I think are little bit over price for the size Coctel $16 when in most of the places are around $14. I think this place has a great potencial, the waitress was amaizing
We went in on Valentines hoping to get in even though the sign said reservation only, and the manager was so incredibly accommodating! The waitress, I believe her name was Katarina, was so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. She got us with just the right foods to make our nice that much more special. I would definitely come back again. Also the atmosphere is really good as well with the outside seating.
The food was great and I really like the environment. When we got there we waited outside the entrance for 5 minutes looking at empty tables. They pretended not to notice us. Staff looked over and then went back to waiting tables. From the website we made a reservation and just sat ourselves down on a reserved table since it was obvious that no one was going to offer us service.A white waitress saw me and my partner standing there for 5 minutes and didn't say anything, within a minute of us sitting down an older white couple came to the entrance and immediately got the service that we were expecting, they were offered a menu scan and told how many tables are available and offered seating.Our waitress was really cool, I didn't catch her name but she had glasses and puffy hair. She was very busy and seemed like she was really trying to be attentive. Another couple had been sitting next to us but they left because they weren't being waited on so I think our waitress made sure that we got taken care of, I think she could tell that we were already kind of upset that we had to seat ourselves.The food was really good. Their alcohol selection was a little disappointing and consisted of regular mediocre beer like Amstel Light for $9 a bottle.Most of the items on the menu were missing on the day that we went, no short ribs, no tuna steaks, but the ambience and quality of food was totally worth it. I might go back but if another white girl treats me like I'm invisible again I'm going to call management and cause a scene. This ain't the f****** 50s.
What a fantastic find! Love sitting outside with all the lights from the rainbow bridge. The many heaters kept me warm and the delicious cocktails helped ;) The food was really good and can't wait to go back to try more dishes.
