New American Restaurants in Long Beach, CA

“We had a 40th college reunion there. The ambience was perfect, food was great and the staff were wonderful! Everyone had a great time!“

“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.“

“Everything very tasty, especially Noble Club“

“Claire’s at the Museum is aesthetically pleasing. The view is gorgeous, and the food is delicious! Spent my birthday here and it did not disappoint!! ❤️“

“Just wanted to mention the experience I had with the pancake and chicken dish, the chicken was way over cooked so much so that it was very tough. Unfortunately the pancake recipe has changed and it was thick and doughy!. Not like the ones I had a few years ago.“

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

“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 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.“

“I swear this place is an absolute must-go! The food is incredible, the atmosphere is clean and stylish, and the service is top-notch. All of our plates came out fresh and full of flavor, and the staff made the experience feel personal and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing drinks or sitting down for a full meal, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“Good service good food 🥘!“

“Food was super I had the lobster linguini and calamari was very very good and the service spectacular“

“Nick’s food and service doesn’t disappoint! Menu options are great, and they’ll take a classic comfort dish such as a meat loaf to a gourmet degree. Service is impecable too. Worth every dollar you spend here in every aspect! They have my respect and heart! ♥️“

“Great service. Decor was chic. Service on point, not rushed. Great place for a date.“

“Best Fish tacos in long beach! I can only imagine how delicious the rest of the menu is. 10/10 and will definitely look foward to the next meal here in the future. Drinks are great and atmosphere is better. I loved the music selection and esthetic. Shout out to Sam for the great service!“

“got the bacon onion jam smashburger, hot honey sweet potato, and cowboy hotdog and all were a big hit.

been here multiple times but this time the food, and service were so good that it warranted a 5 star review.

staff are always nice, place always clean, cup always full of good beer lol.“

“I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting the food to be this exceptional. And that is because sometimes chain establishments are not great. However, Camille suggested a couple of dishes for us and they did not disappoint and in fact I would’ve licked the plates if it was publicly appropriate. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy and short rib hash!!!!! Omg so delicious!! I can’t wait to come back for more!!!“

“Great good and drinks. Great happy hour and weekly specials like Wine Wednesday. Friendly and welcoming.“

“Grilled Chicken pesto sammie was yummy....everything was!! Terrific service too...Thx Ryan...good fun!“

“While traveling from Idaho we were fortunate to have brunch with our dear friends in Long Beach before heading out on a cruise. They took us to this quaint, fun restaurant. Spectacular service, delicious food, Hazelnut coffee, yum! Thanks for the very cool stickers!“

“The food and prices were great but the service was exceptional. I do not remember their names but two women both with red hair were very attentive. The bar was absolute packed but they frequently checked in on us and were very accommodating. Would love to come here again.“

“Delicious breakfasts, oh my!“

“Always have a great meal at Simmzy’s. I had cauliflower tacos and they were excellent (and I’m not a vegetarian). Sweet potato fries were great. I’m the past I’ve had the chicken tortilla soup- it’s one of the best! Pet and child friendly.“

“AMAZING! We will be back! The employees were so wonderful and kind to myself and my family, and the food was delicious! Huge portions as well! We will be back!“

“Nicest spot on 4th street, to have great food with friends, excellent wine & drinks and maybe a coffee or two to start the day! Can’t wait for the tapas menu to start 😊❤️“

“Tastes good, come back next time“

“YUMMYLICIOUS! You want a good beefy burger, perfectly season and portioned properly.. Dude, stop by and get a real FATTY Burger and the varieties are spectacular. You mouth buds and tummy will sing a happy song. Just orders the Peyton and I am salivating already. ENJOY!“

“My 3rd time back and again an awesome breakfast. Delicious and will be back again soon!!!“

“We’re “Regulars.” The wait staff treat us so well, and the food is terrific. We see tables populated by seniors, parents with babes in arms, post-game soccer stars, and golf buddies. This is truly a neighborhood gem!“

“Where to even begin with how incredible Cave Catering was? First, people were raving about the food for days. We had the lamb chops when we went for the (super professional, beautiful, immaculate) tasting and fell in love. We knew everyone would love them, and we were right! The shrimp cocktail was divine, and we also had the shrimp aguachile shooters because we couldn’t decide between the two. Grilled cheese, bruschetta, and caprese skewers were also a hit because they were so easy to eat at a cocktail hour and tasted delicious.

On top of that, Chef Nicole saved our wedding multiple times before it even happened. Any time we asked for something (renting linens, silverware, extra servers), she was quick to respond and provided anything we needed. We even texted her at 11pm the night before the rehearsal dinner because we figured out our chargers were broken. Her chargers were rented out that weekend, but she tracked some down and brought them to the wedding. The day of our event, she was on time, professional, and provided amazing staff.

We can’t emphasize enough how lucky we felt to have found Cave Catering. We will definitely be hiring them again for our next event.

“This restaurant was amazing! Husband ate from the buffet, ($32) great variety, and he loves his omelettes. I ordered from the menu ($24) and it was the perfect size for me. And the hashbrowns! We've traveled around the world quite a bit... and these were the lightest, fluffiest I've had. Would recommend.“

“Been coming here with my kiddo after yoga on the bluff for about 6 months and every time it’s the best.

Great atmosphere and wonderful food.

Takes a bit longer to get food than I would like but it’s a nice place to wait that for sure.“

“beer is cold and food is good 👍 can't ask for much more“

“We went there the evening of Sunday March 22. We sat at the bar and had a few cocktails. I wish I had of got the bartenders name, but I just wanted to say he knows what he's doing. He made very good old fashioned's, the price was reasonable, and we had a conversation with him. Glad we stopped in there.“

“This is the place to be, if you want good live County music, a good chill and fun night, and not to leave out, all the beautiful good looking girls and cool people. This is not the place to come looking for trouble and be ghetto. Keep all that nonsense in your side of town.“

“After a long day of travel, we were just looking for a good place to eat. The VUE delivered! And we didn’t have to leave the hotel! Thank you Miguel for the excellent service!“

“First time here, visiting family and we decided to come to Ballast Point Brewing. So happy we did, and definitely recommended! Food was delicious and extremely reasonable, the view when dining was absolutely amazing. The ships coming in and out of the harbor, dolphins playing in the water. Will definitely return when we come back for another visit.“

“Great ambiance! Great drinks! Great staff! Great food! This place is perfect!!!“

“A wonderful first time experience and we had a great waiter Hugo he was friendly and and on top of everything we needed.“

Excellent service and courtesy from every member of the staff and Extreme props to our server Kayla, sorry if I spelled your name 😉, but she was so perfectly attentive and just awesome! Please give her a raise! Thank you all and Happy Father's Day to all!“
