“es muy bueno y muy limpio todo fresco y me costa porque yo trabajo a hi y me fascina ser del personal the pan“

“Came across the on a walk back from Venice Beach. Highly recommend.“

“The best pastrami hands down!!!! I’m from here and this was always my spot. Now that I live out of state I make sure I stop every trip back home and this time was no different! Love it here 🤞🏾

Ask for it grilled style & dont forget forget your peppers on the side 😉“

“Sylvia ( bartender) is the business! She's the epitome of customer ( client) services. Sylvia always makes us as clients feel welcome and she knows our preferences, as the moment I walk in she is already pouring my favorite spirit and ordering my favorite dish! That's what I call quality assurance. Mel is good too! After that the cocktail servers suck!“

“I love their beyond burguers😋...“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“Warm, hands on and personalized service. A Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant…Food Made from Scratch, fresh, unique, different, and affordable. Highly recommended! The red onion focaccia bread with herb and Parmesan butter, added Burrata - best- seller, a must. The 3 day brined smoked fried chicken-different taste, with soy and Chiles, a must!!!The Peruvian pork belly with sweet potato , Criolla and crispy quinoa , love it! And the Grilled NY steak with green garlic chimichurri, chorizo aioli and pommes pont neuf, thick cut fries…my son prefers over the fried chicken.“

“I came across Playa Provisions when in town for business. It was a short Uber from the airport, so I figured I'd give it a try. This place is an absolute gem! It is a unique setup that has everything you'd possibly need from morning until late at night: Cafe in the front for coffee and fresh baked good, as well as full breakfast menu. Later in the heat of the afternoon, take a break from the beach (right across the street) and enjoy hand scooped specialty ice cream cones and shakes. Oh look, it's dinner time... and Playa Provisions opens their dining room and bar, some of the best, most relaxed ambience you'll find for miles around. But don't let the casual setting fool you, this is some incredible, elevated cuisine. Chef owners Nick and Brooke (who you might recognize) crafted a menu that's I've been eating my way through, and have yet to find a dish that's not delicious. You've been eating and drinking all day, and are exhausted? Don't leave yet! Wander into the back 'secret' whiskey bar, (Grain Whiskey Bar) and enjoy hand crafted cocktails from award winning bartenders (no, literally), in a gorgeous wood laden atmosphere. I consider myself a foodie, and try as many different restaurants and cuisines as I can. And yet, Playa Provisions remains my favorite restaurant in LA (and that's saying something, considering the amazing places in LA). Run, don't walk, to Playa Provisions. You'll thank me.“

“thoroughly enjoyed this place!!“

“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.“

“Tonight we, my husband and I, with our dear friends, the Crays, dined at Tomat for the first of what will be many times. The restaurant features a dining room and a roof top patio. A welcoming, comfortable space. The staff were all friendly and very knowledgeable about all menu items. Our server Miley took excellent care of us throughout dinner and dessert. She assisted us with choosing items that would pair well with each other. She was never too busy to stop to see if everything was to our liking. She brought the chef to our table so we could let him know personally how much we enjoyed his creations. He gave us a bit of background on his plan of sustainability and creativity for his restaurant. The food was amazing. We had several appetizers. The tuna carpaccio was amazing, light and dark tuna with the freshest tomatoes. The welsh rarebit was so delicious. The weiser melon with strawberry kimchi was a delicious surprise. The house milled saffron rice was amazing. Our mains did not disappoint. The trout and chips were excellent. Everyone at the table said “best trout we have ever had”. The vegetable chips were outstanding. The vaca vieja ribeye was perfectly cooked. The pork three ways with chamoy was also perfectly cooked. Dessert was madelines, warm from the oven, with the strawberry sorbet and the saffron ice cream. All were outstanding. Overall, this was a fabulous dining experience. Great food with great service in such a comfortable atmosphere. And, we have already made reservations for next month!“

“Had the best tortilla soup ever! And Chef Steven Lutz circulating through the restaurant to say hi and assure everyone having great food and service was a treat. Don’t miss the baked goods like banana cream pie. Amazing! Very pleased and will be back again!“

“The food is absolutely brilliant, the parking is okay, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great“

“After a little confusion at the beginning, the manager came over and could not have been kinder! The food was some of the best we’ve ever had, the service was amazing, and the ambiance was unbelievable!
This was my second visit, and once again, it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Thank you for such a lovely lunch! Whatever you do, don’t miss the tuna tostadas and the branzino. Absolutely delicious!“

“Outstanding food and great staff! I wish I lived in Torrance 😂😂😂⚡️❤️“

“We had excellent food and service from Kenni!“

“The brunch here was fantastic! The passionfruit cocktail was refreshing, but not too sweet. The chopped salad was also excellent and something I would genuinely order again. The staff working were all so kind and showed me wonderful hospitality since I was dining alone. The house made fennel sausage was perfectly juicy and full of flavor. It was a marvelous meal and as a local, definitely a place I would go back to !!“

“Fast, friendly service. Fresh, delicious dishes. What’s not to love?“

“Delicious, a wonderful experience and loved the waitress!“

“Popped in for a burger and a beer. Great atmosphere with chill background music and excellent bar & table seating. Beautiful spot. Extremely friendly service.
The burger and fries was okay. Disappointed that they say it's a 1/2 pound patty but this was not, it was barely a 1/4 pounder. It tasted fine, but was just very small compared to the menu description.
Again
It's a beautiful location“

“I had a great breakfast at Jacks and Joe’s. The bacon, sausage, spam and eggs were cooked just right, the French toast with strawberries and nutella was delicious, and even the hash browns nice a crispy and the mango and pineapple juice smoothie hit the spot. Friendly quick service. Recommended.“

“Excellent Fresh Organic Options“

“Everything great“

“The food and environment!“

“Great asian fusion food. Awesome for happy hour!!“

“The best shrimp n grits I've ever had.“

“We always like to have one meal here when we stay in Long Beach before I cruise. We sit at the bar, which requires no wait time unless you come late. We come for happy hour. There is a great selection of beer which my husband likes. Everything we ever ordered to eat has been very good. The service has been excellent at the bar. We’ve never eaten at a regular table.“

“Good food in casual friendly local restaurant & nice bar hangout ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Very nice place! We went twice on our trip to Cali! Before and after our cruise!!!“

“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.“

“Always satisfied with the freshest ingredients ‼️❤️“

“Very nice place! We went twice on our trip to Cali! Before and after our cruise!!!“

“Flavors that never get old. Tasty on every bite!“

“Muy bonito restaurante muy buena atención y exquisita comida“

“Had the Thai bowl... YUM!“

“We heard about your birthday special of Turf and Surf and decided to take advantage of it. Easy to make the reservation online. We got there and were seated quickly. We had the calamari and shrimp appetizer which was great! We shared a bowl of the clam chowder which was the best I had in years! The birthday girl got the Turf and Surf and I had the Shrimp Pasta with vodka sauce. Both were very good! We ended up taking half of it home! Our server, Adam, was very nice and even took pictures of us to mark the occasion. Overall, we had a great experience! We would definitely do it again!“

“My server was Bernadette M she was very sweet and helpful. In fact everyone at the bar was very accommodating. 5 stars !! I just wish they would open one up in Torrance or Hawthorne they have room Where they're going to tear down the Hawthorne plaza that's been abandoned for decades. 🤦😅“

“Amazing first impression. I don't normally write reviews for a first experience, but this deserves an exception. I got their chicken Alfredo, and have a garlic allergy. He was able to accommodate it which took a little extra prep time, and I still felt well after eating. The portion was large enough it made for an excellent leftovers lunch today, too. So good! I can't wait to go back for this item again. The restaurant is mostly designed for take-out, and I appreciate seeing the A rating in the window and cleanliness of their food prep area. I am interested in other menu items, too, and hope to order again soon. I appreciate how wonderful the food was, and the ownder's kindness to be able to accommodate my unusual request. As soon as I submitted the online order, he called me to verify my order info was correct. Two thumbs up for me!“

“Great place and a fun place to be“

“It was such a lovely venture out for my Mom’s birthday, on Friday. Alex and Dominique (management) are quite lovely, and helped make our dining experience all the more, a joy! Love the new additions to the menu, particularly the Mini Steak French Dips. The Chicken Parmesan was excellent with the twist of those ‘pepper-like sweet’ tomatoes. If there is ever something you want to bring back to the menu I would highly suggest the sliders, they were missed for sure lol! Looking forward to dining again here, soon. Cheers! ✨💖🥂“
