Excellent location for nearby attractions and venues. Not a lot of indoor seating and outside was a little chilly. Bring a jacket. Come early for a pre-show bite or cocktail. Service was with a smile but slow. Food from the offbeat menu was worth it.
Risü [risu = 'smile' in latin] is a hidden neighborhood gem located on the beautiful Rainbow bridge right by to the LB Convention Center. With a spacious patio overlooking the LED bridge and a pristinely kept rose garden, Risü is a great spot for parties, dates, families, and solo adventurers alike. The restaurant is casual, modern, and suave, has good bar selections, great American-style tapas, salads, flat breads, and even live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The staff is skillful and personable, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, plus the bartenders make great cocktails. I enjoy pretty much everything on the menu, especially their spicy shrimp appetizer, a very unique salmon wrap, delish chicken wings and sliders, healthy salads, and out of the flat breads, the short rib wins my vote. Risü is dog friendly (ask about their pup dish), has dedicated garage parking, and is open daily at 4PM. Don't miss out on their happy hours :)

First time here. Picked it because it was close to ICT theater just down the street. Nice small plate dishes . I had a crispy salmon wrap which was very good.

Simply searched rooftop bar and this comes up. A really fun architectural light string tunnel between here and the convention center, as an elevated walkway. The outdoor chairs were surprisingly comfy, to the traveler who just sat in a plane six hours from the East Coast & needed to snag dinner before kitchens closed. Late night happy hour discounts on entrées and cocktails and wine – – the prices are shockingly reasonable for downtown Long Beach, not a block from the water.I got the short rib taco app and Bougie Brussels app to go, so I could have them for breakfast since nothings open when I hit my job site. Snitched some take-out Brussels— dang… really live up to their advertising! Likely the best Brussels preparation I’ve ever had in my life. Enjoyed the bacon lovers salad w shrimp for actual dinner… O M W sooooo good, even better than the description. I debated ordering another one, but the kitchen was closed by then. Not overly bacon, not overly vinaigrette… Just a gorgeous combination of creamy, savory, on lots of greens, because I sure need greens after a weekend of bad decisions in Atlantic City. I consider this an excellent salad design, and will try to re-create it at home.This is a really nice little ambience, at a shockingly good value/price point. I’m pretty sure I will be back tomorrow night for dinner again.
