“Great food will be back again“

“I was at Heritage to celebrate a special occasion — the restaurant was cozy and homey. The kitchen was right in front of us, so the whole room was filled with different aromas. Both the service and food were great. The first few courses were delicious, adding a bit of extra excitement to the meal. That said, for a restaurant charging $195/person with a Michelin star, serving food and beverages on a cracked plate and in a chipped cup felt off. When I asked the staff about it, she gave me a smirk and downplayed it with some excuses and brushed it off. Better quality control may be needed as your guests deserve better.“

“Maria buen servicio muy amable! Gracias“

“This place is always busy. We find seating there at the counter and we do not need to wait for 20 minutes. We love the bean soup? And the apple pie was great.“

“Everything great“

“To John Hansen, My wife and I would like to thank you for such a lovely evening. Chez Bacchus represents the “True Expression of a Dining Experience”. Starting with the welcoming staff at the entrance. John, your hospitality is the beginning of the joyful experience. The restaurant is so elegant. We enjoyed the vaulted ceilings with wood beams. We enjoyed the large window at the kitchen area so you can see the Chefs at work. We got to sit next to the impressive wine rack display. The restaurant’s ambiance wouldn’t be complete without the soft background music. Our waiter, Issac, was a delight. He provided us with his expertise in choosing our wines, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It was a pleasure to meet to give special thanks to the Chef, Danny Le and Su Chef, Donald. Their expertise is why we had an amazing and delicious dinner.“

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.“

“Last Friday, we celebrated our 10-year anniversary, and it was truly the best restaurant experience I had in a long time.

The food was delicious, and the scenery was relaxing—even the hummingbirds seemed perfectly in harmony with the beautiful surroundings.

What made the experience especially memorable was the exceptional hospitality. The acting manager last Friday, Julio (if I remember correctly), was outstanding. The way we were welcomed and cared for made us feel genuinely valued and special.

Thank you for helping create such a wonderful anniversary memory.“

“Thank you so much for my Grand slam on my 55th Birthday 🎂;)“

“I've been going to Pieloon for a few years now and it is THE BEST restaurant in Downey! The food is always fabulous, the portions are large, the service is perfect! I've had appetizers, salads, pastas, steaks, burgers, sandwiches (I'm addicted to the BLT) and many of their specials. My family and I go now 2x a week and have trouble deciding what to get because it's all so good! And the pies...their pumpkin pie is the best I've ever had and the blueberry cheesecake is fabulous...but just wait until fresh peach pie season...I'll gain weight just thinking about it...the fresh peach is the best pie I've ever, EVER had! I love this place and the people who work there!! They're like family now!“

“Erica was a wonderful server. My mom ordered a skillet for the veggies but it looked lackluster without the meat. Erica was sweet enough to bring over a plate of extra veggies for her without us asking. My mom’s recovering from a hard fall and needs all the fuel she can get - I appreciated the thoughtfulness so much. Thank you again Erica!!“

“I love this spot! Great little breakfast break on my morning walk.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating of my wife's gluten allergy(I grabber her breakfast to go).

I got avocado toast with poached eggs. Very fresh, cooked to perfection. A refreshing start to my day, definitely.

I plan on coming back for a soup and sandwich for lunch someday soon and walking it off in the park after..they seem to have a great deal!

Atmosphere was quiet and friendly. Lots of folks having nice little meetups and saying good morning to each other. Seems like a great place to be a regular.

Overall just a wonderful little spot. I will absolutely be back many times.“
