it was overall really fun time, but for the value of the food and service you get, I would not go there again

Updating review since my last visit was when Heritage first opened and prior to earning their Michelin star. They have truly elevated and fine tuned their service and execution of dishes. With just four seats at the counter and six tables in the dining room, guests still get the warm home hospitality feel in an intimate setting. Their tastings are now set at $160 per person, which comes with 12 thoughtfully curated bites of umami, textures and flavor profiles. The majority of their produce and herbs are grown in the Heritage Farm, just a mile away from the restaurant. Staying true to their zero-waste philosophy, they repurpose any excess ingredients into compost cycling back to the gardens. Sustainable dining at its finest! Summer 2025 tasting menu: Palo Santo Mint- an herbal shot to open the senses Steamed Baby Corn- loved the shaved truffle on top Box Crab- lovely pastry bite Pickled Plum- palate cleanser Slow-Cooked Farm Beets Celtuce, fennel, house yogurt Live Scallop in Shell Dashi, smoked trout roe Braised Sweetbreads- not really bread but yummy chunks of bacon with spring onion, fava bean and greens Mt. Lassen Trout Beluga lentil, herb pistou- Loved! 32-Day Dry Aged Rib Chop Delta asparagus, spring onion Crème Caviar: Heritage caviar, manzanilla oil - soooo good! Mille-feuille: Strawberry, rhubarb, pistachio Pâte de Fruit Boysenberry- like gummies :) Wine pairing is an additional $95. We opted to bring a bottle of wine for a $40 cork fee. Valet is $25, but you might be able to find street parking on 7th Street. Incredible experience and so happy to have this gem in Long Beach!

We had a tasty, beautiful dinner in a quant space with a very kind staff. Everyone working at Heritage really made our experience that much better. The manager, Jen took time to have conversations with us, telling us the future of the restaurant & sharing moments. My husband & I really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you, Heritage!

If you want a culinary experience that will become a lifetime memory, Heritage is the place. It was a big expense for us, but it was my wife's birthday and we had both been in the doldrums. That evening at Heritage was wonderful! I lifted us out of your gloominess, and reminded us of how amazing life can be. We're both still talking about it, several days later!

We drove from San Diego just to eat here again and so worth the drive. The presentation and balance of flavors was spectacular. Service exceptional and ambiance subtle. This is our favorite restaurant and we will continue to drive to Long Beach every time there is a change in menu.

Food was mind blowing and the wine pairing was great. Staff was so nice. We sat at the counter which was super fun to watch the kitchen in action. Can't wait to go back.

This was one of the best Michelin star restaurants we have been to! The food was incredible and the staff was amazing. Our server was very knowledgeable and well spoken about the wine pairings. The restaurant is in a house. The kitchen is open concept and is within the seating area as well. When making some of the dishes, the place often got smokey. We enjoyed when they opened the door for the breeze, but your throat will be a little scratchy and stuffy the whole time. Other than that, we love this place and can't wait to return!

The food tastes good. Not enough food to justify the extreme price. There is not a bar everything comes in a bottle.The ambiance and location are lacking. Would be a fantastic place to work as a server though.

The tasting menu was awesome and had a lot of variety; the ingredients were seasonal with well-thought-out combinations and the flavors were unique on each dish. The staff were all very friendly and overall the service was very attentive and on point. Highly recommended!
Have been here many times. Always amazing! Thi restaurant never disappoints. Super creative and great food and also green. What else can anyone ask from a restaurant.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent ambiance. You know a place is classy when the tables don't wobble. 10/10 would go again.

Heritage in Long Beach is such a gem. The restaurant is set in a charming old home, which gives it a quaint and cozy atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome. The service was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the meal. Every bite of food was thoughtfully prepared—beautifully fresh, flavorful, and unique. I really appreciated the focus on seasonality and organic ingredients; you can truly taste the care and quality in each dish. A wonderful experience from start to finish.

Excellent service. Excellent first courses and main courses with wine pairing. Though dessert was enjoyable, it was the weakest link.

I was referred by a friend who thought highly of this place. A Michelin Starred restaurant. We were really looking forward to the evening. Well, it had a few great dishes and a few one that wasn't noteworthy at all. Nonetheless, the presentation was meticulously prepared. Temperature wise was great on the trout (best dish) but my steak was cold and hard crusted, beyond aging crusted, hard to cut into. The noise level is unbearable. The tables were very close together and there is no acoustics absorbing any sounds. People just talked over people. My head was pounding after two hours. Our server was wonderful, he was attentive and prompt. However, the general staffs seems to need some more training. As soon as we sat down, the lady pushed and commanded that dinner would start within 5 mins. The tone was more like a principal tell students that I was about to take a test. I had to tell her that we would like a little time to order and enjoy our drink, perhaps in 10 mins then she can start bringing in the food. There are 3 different people brought out food for us. Each of them would explain the dish like they were having hot potato in their hands, rarely pause and just simply ramble. All I heard was... blah blah and blah then loud and clear Enjoy. lol The restaurant is a small cottage house in an Off-location within the Long Beach area. Charming place but location isn't very desirable. There was valet parking for $25.
