“This place is crazy!! GOOD CRAZY! Best ribs I’ve ever had! The meat falls right off the bone. Sandwich’s are huge as well as the portions.BBQ pork beans, so so good! Reasonably priced for the sizes given. Totally worth it!You will not regret it! “

“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.“

“The food was excellent last night. We had the butter chicken pot pie, lamb kebabs, nachos, and sticky ribs- all were delicious. What we didn't like was that our reservation was at 7pm and we weren't seated until 7:30. The host never really apologized and they don't have anywhere to sit and wait.“

“Went here for early brunch when opened and was not disappointed. The reasurant was amazing. The shrimp was grilled beautifully. Ordered the 917 burger as well and shared the 6 oz steak (medium well) with my boyfriend and it was the best decision. Definitely a place to try and the center is an amazing experience and sight to view while eating. Coming back soon!“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming café, and I must say, it left quite an impression. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. Our friend from Dusseldorf, whose taste buds are undoubtedly refined, vouched for the quality of the pastries and coffee, and I couldn't agree more. Each sip of coffee was rich and satisfying, while the pastries were baked to perfection, boasting a delightful blend of flavors.One aspect that particularly impressed me was the selection of breakfast and brunch dishes. It's not often you find a place that offers such a variety of fresh, light, and healthy options. Whether you're craving something savory or sweet, there's something on the menu to satisfy every palate.The ambiance of the café is casual yet inviting, with indoor bar seating adding to the cozy atmosphere. However, the real gem lies in the outdoor patio, complete with heat lamps and sun shades. It's the perfect spot to enjoy your meal al fresco, no matter the weather.What truly sets this establishment apart is its commitment to being a local favorite. Supporting a place run by such passionate individuals who consistently deliver exceptional food and service is a pleasure. Overall, I can confidently say that this café is a hidden gem worth discovering.“

“I hosted a Baby Shower with 30 guest on Sunday at Saint & Second and reserved the entire upstairs! The Mimosa Brunch planned by Margaret was so delicious and great Preseco for the Mimosas too!Margaret went above and beyond in helping us put on a wonderful event for our memories! Mel and Dom were especially attentive to all the quest and provided such helpful and friendly service!The food was so so delicious! French Toast, Biscuits, TriTip hash, Eggs Benedict, and Breakfast sandwiches were served in the Buffet presentation.It was a memorable event that was remarked on by all who attended.I highly recommend this space to anyone looking for a great event space for a special occasion. Thank you Margaret for helping make this such a wonderful time!“

“We happened to stumble upon The Ordinarie Tavern in Long Beach and we’re glad we did! The service was first rate and the food was really good! I highly recommend the chicken pot pie bites as an appetizer. They were fantastic. We also tried the half chicken entree and the short rib French dip, both of which were also good. Happy Hour is offered from 3-6pm, with specials on beers, drinks and food.“

“Overall, I highly recommend Urban Plates to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal in a welcoming environment. I will definitely be returning soon to try more of their amazing dishes. And Dani was also a great help she told us good options for us that we might enjoy.“

“They now do a themed five course dinner once a month. Option to have a wine pairing with each course. One seating per night for 2-3 nights. Must reserve in advance, sells out. We went to the “tomato” dinner. High quality, imaginative dishes with good wine pairings. The chef came out and discussed all five courses in detail and a “wine guy” did the same for each wine pairing, which enhanced the experience. Option to buy bottles of the reasonably priced wines ($20-30 per bottle) after. Lasted about 2.5 hours. Indoor and outdoor seating available.“

“I think the best thing about this place is the service Angela was a girl that helped up at the register all the way till we got our food and checked on us so many times that's what great service looks like I don't think I've seen that anywhere in a long time ! loved the food loved the drinks definitely will be coming back soon !“

“This was our first private chef experience and without a doubt it blew us away! The attention to detail Chefs Juan and Nicole gave us was amazing. It was our 8 year wedding anniversary and they made it that much better. My wife had the filet mignon and I had the ribeye and the dry rub they use for the steaks was so good that I had to take some home and Chef Juan was gracious enough to share his secret rub. You can tell with just a couple minutes of conversation they are passionate about their craft and it shows in the quality and taste of the food. We had some fresh margarita cocktails to along side the dinner and you can taste the freshness as-well. I just wish I was able to take pictures of the night and the food but my wife and I enjoyed a couple hours of just us time for the first time in a long time. Thank you Chefs!!“

“We were celebrating my friend birthday and it was raining that morning even we had reservation for outdoor brunch. They sat us upstairs at the Library room. It was amazing, very private and intimate atmosphere. The food is great and the amount of choices for Bloody Mary is very good.We love this place! The view outside is amazing!“

“I've been reading a lot lately about finding a "third place". A place outside of work and home where you can relax, socialize, build your community. Wine on 2nd fits the bill.The owners and the staff are so welcoming, as are the other guests. The vibe is perfect. Chill, calm. I got the baked brie and it was absolutely delicious! Is one of my favorite dishes anyway and when it's done right, chef's kiss. I paired it with a sparkling wine and it was exactly what I needed.I'm already in love with this place, parking is easy, the location is great. Come and go grab a glass of wine and then go enjoy the Christmas lights or come here after. It's easy to get to, incredible ambiance. I can see why it won best wine bar last year. I expect it will do it again this year.Vegetarian options: I'm a vegetarian and a lot of the dishes are vegetarian. As in made to have a full set of flavors, not just a garden salad.“

“I have tried a fair share of vegan restaurants being from the Bay Area but I have never had an array of delicious vegan options quite like this!For apps, we tried the crab cakes, Cajun fries, and grits.Hands down, the crab cakes were the clear winner. The texture and flavor profile were the closest resemblance to non-vegan crab cakes that I’ve ever tried ?I don’t normally like grits but these grits [pleasantly] surprised me. The Cajun fries were also really good! The soy meat in the fries were a very similar chewy texture to carne asada so everything had its own merit!For entrees, we got the loco moco, the Hawaiian dish, and the wet burrito.The loco moco and the Hawaiian dishes were my favorite. The loco moco patty was super tender, and the pairing with the vegan egg on top with the gravy sauce just made for an amazing combination of savory flavors. The Hawaiian dish with the greens was a nice break from the heaviness of the grits and loco moco. The wet burrito is ginormous. Definitely ordered way too much overall, but we don’t regret having leftovers for the next day. :) everything is too good not to try!We also got complimentary beignets at the end of the meal! The service was impeccable. Thank you for an amazing experience!“

“I'm so glad that there is a good restaurant like this near where I live. First of all, the food quality is good and the price is also good. Also, while eating the food, I felt how sincere the chef and owner are about the food. Other places often don't have fresh ingredients, but here all the ingredients are fresh and they don't skimp on the ingredients. It's close to home so I think I'll go often.“

“Dined here some years back when they first opened and it wasn't very memorable. Gave it another try as my wife has recently gone with her parents and was highly impressed. Ordered the steak salad, calamari and sea bass. They were all very good, especially the sea bass and the calamari. The sea bass was nicely cooked, paired with some glass noodles, spinach and shitakke mushrooms. Delish. It also had a nice kick to it. The calamari was well prepared, crunchy yet soft, not too chewy. Also went well with some fried chili/jalapeno peppers. Overall, I think it is worth coming back to explore the menu further.“

“A beachside cafe on the sand is everything I didn't know I needed here in LA/OC. It's such a great chill spot, plenty of parking, just steps away from the Pacific Ocean. They have corn hole, giant Jenga, a climbing park right next to it. So it's an amazing spot for families and even the pups (they offer unseasoned grilled beef patties!)I got the tofu banh mi with a side salad and a machaca breakfast burrito. Surprisingly, the food was actually pretty impressive, half of me was expecting beach shack quality. The food does take a bit to come out, but it's not fast food here. They serve alcohol, have vegan options, breakfast all day. It's a pretty great spot to relax, enjoy the sound of the beach waves, dig your toes in the sand, and eat/drink.“

“Noble Bird Rotisserie in Long Beach is located in the PCH and 2nd outdoor mall. The atmosphere and location are the big "draws," but the food is also quite good, as well! The rotisserie chicken and chicken and waffles, of course, are easy highlights, but you can't go wrong if you're in the mood for a sandwich or bowl. We ordered the g-sandwich, the steak and avocado bowl (but substituted with chicken), and the charred green beans; all were a delight to our surprise and very satisfying. The service is fast and always friendly; and the perfect spot to pause during your shopping trip to PCH and 2nd.“

“Service. Impeccable. Food? You get what you paid for. ?...Amazing. Now, if you are expecting a tranquile romantic dinner with great conversation....is too loud. The bar is right there next to the tables. Groups of dudes are coming a little drunk and well... personally I rather a quiter place if I am good to pay $63 for Chilean Bass and $98 for Surf n' Turf. To impress someone, nice group of 4 friends? Sure! Nice place. And once again, the service is A+ sofisticated and knowledgeable. Would I go back? Yes.“

“3rd time coming here and it was good. I had the billionaire burger which was good but they slightly overcooked my meat. The blue cheese fries were great. Also the raspberry margarita with the nosotros blanco tequila was amazing. Our server was really good, they just happened to be very understaffed so she was doing EVERYTHING.Parking: Parking can be very difficult to find during busy times. You may need to circle the block a couple of times to find someone leaving“

“We discovered this place about a year ago when shopping at Lazy Acres. It was busy on our first visit but no surprise for a Sunday around noon. We don't eat burgers often, but my wife and I were both in the beef mood. Had their basic burger and it was nothing short of AMAZING. Went back there this past Wednesday and we both ordered their double burger Fuego style. Even more AMAZING! Excellent beef flavor, hot and spicy ghost pepper cheese and the "Familiar Sauce" has a great bite as well. The place was just as busy on a Wednesday night as it was at Sunday lunch. Obviously, a neighborhood favorite.Check it out next time you're in the area. You'll not be disappointed.“

“Having seen it featured on Remarkable Places to Eat, and read the positive recommendations on Trip Advisor, I had to visit Glen's Kitchen when I was passing through Bristol. Caribbean cuisine is not normally high on my list of choices for a meal; however...... I got to Glen's just as breakfast was finishing and before lunch was starting but Glen and his staff looked after me and served me as quickly as they could. I chose the Goat Curry with rice and peas. It was absolutely delicious. I now appreciate how enjoyable Caribbean cuisine can be and will return sometime to try the J*** Chicken. Glen himself came out to see me and I was touched that he took time to do this. It seemed that nothing was too much trouble for himself and his staff. You will have to seek out Glen's Kitchen if you are a visitor to the area as it is off the beaten track somewhat but it is well worth the visit. The fact that people go out of their way to eat there says it all. The food, value and service are superb. Glen deserves all the praise he has received and I have no hesitation in recommending this establishment to anyone who likes Caribbean food, and even those like me who are not connoisseurs may find themselves converted!“

“I went there for lunch with three friends. It was sprinkling and cold so we went inside instead of the covered patio area. Inside was very noisy, we could barely hear ourselves speak. The area is small with a huge bar. Next time we come we will try the patio area. The food and service were great.“

“First time visiting this restaurant but I wasn't disappointed. Visiting from Georgia so I was glad the food was really good. I had the French toast combo and didn't even need syrup for them. They had powder sugar and vanilla butter. Definitely five stars❤️❤️“

“Our favorite neighborhood hang right now! Riley's never disappoints. I love the Watermelon Margarita. They have a decent beer selection. All the food is excellent! The Poke Wonton Tostadas and Ceviche are delicious and reliable appetizers. The Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad and the Steak Salad are two of my favorites. They serve very, very good pizzas and burgers. But my absolute all time favorite item on the Riley's menu is the Smash Burger. This burger is perfect in every way!!! If you haven't checked Riley's out yet, I recommend you do.“

“Visit the hanger often but this was my first time trying Plaid Sheep. The cashier was so friendly and nice! (Ear plugs, knit beanie.) Such great customer service. Really enjoyed the soup and sandwich (grilled American cheese with grilled onions.)Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian grilled cheese with vegan cheese.Parking: Lots of parking and some ev chargers on north side.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to get in, but I don't think they have automatic doors. But the whole facility is on the first floor, and tables can accommodate wheel chairs.“

“It’s a cool concept and convenient for a quick meal pick up. It’s not a sit down restaurant, it’s like a collective of restaurants, like a food court but not because there’s only a couple places to sit and eat. You can order food online or at the site and pick up there. I didn’t know it was set up this way so it was confusing when driving there and trying to find it. The building says Daisy on it, you can park and go in.“

“This bar has all the right games at any given time. Great place! Football playoffs were showing on every TV outside of the bar. Another the end. One maybe two screens were dialed to NASCAR. For the most part, Our server was attentive and she would ask us how are doing. Her instinct The menu was substantial. I choose the dip if I remember correctly. Awesome sandwich. The nacho were LOADED with various meats and copious amounts of cheese. Worth checking out if are visiting Whittier.“

“I love this place. I have been here more than 20 times in the past 2 years. They have Lobsterfest that includes my husband's favorite, steamers, as well as, 2 lobsters, lobster rolls and a few others. Sorry it's over this year, Nov 5th. All of their food is great, and they have a varied menu.It is a bar and restaurant and it can get very loud. We go at off times, so it's not an issue. I suggest you go! Daily food specials, happy hour specials, and always a smiling face to greet you.“

“Well, it's elegant. Elegant and actually quiet. Really, really blissfully quiet. The food wants to be elegant and fancy, but often falls short. Bland but nice, I'd say. When at USC, this is where I'll eat. I can have a pleasant convo with a friend and hear and be heard. When alone, I can blissfully zone out while reading the latest New Yorker. I'll have a nice meal, sometimes priced reasonably, and sometimes priced somewhat higher than necessary. The drinks are good. Indeed, if it were in a different locale, it would be a terrific bar for a relaxing drink at the end of the day. The problem is the staff. When at my table, they are always polite and professional. If they don't know the answer to my question, they'll go to someone to get a correct answer. But, the difficulty is getting them to my table in the first place and then trying to get them to return during the meal. This is based on my visits, usually a few times a year, for the last three decades, so it is definitely an ongoing concern. This doesn't have to do with understaffing a busy restaurant. The place is never that busy and there are always one or two servers standing at the service station, often looking bored and staring into space. The thing is, I'm always there to attend an event and I've almost missed the beginning of several events simply because I can't get the server's attention to bring the check and then, once brought, to give him/her my card and have it returned promptly. Often I'll need to go to the servers' station and ask for the check and take care of it there. Tonight for instance, I did get the server's attention, mouthed the word "check", and did the hand in air scribble motion that seems to be the universal pantomime for "check, please". The guy actually looked at me throughout this process, then looked away and ignored me! I won't bother telling you more tales of woe about the service this evening, but suffice it to say it was par for the course and why I always plan two hours for a meal that usually would last about an hour and a half.BTW, note that a 16% service fee will be added to your bill automatically. Under "tip" on my check I wrote "Included in the bill." I always tip between 20 and 25%, even in a diner, but I was annoyed and felt if the management thinks 16% is enough, that's okay by me. Although some think this is a member's only place, I'm not a member and I can tell you in all the years I've eaten there, I've never once been asked about membership.To sum up: elegant, quiet, lovely ambiance, decent if uninspired food, good drinks, problematic service.“

“Great Ribeye! Slightly crispy on the outside and juicy throughout. Also had their homemade Apple Cider Sorbet which was so delicious!We sat in the booths so it was a very classy, cozy atmosphere. Great for taking the parents or in-laws out for a special occasion or just for a nice piece of steak.“

“First time coming here and despite a small mistake on my order, Aldo who attended me as cashier went out of his way to make it right!. There was a young lady working the back kitchen area who also went above and beyond to make sure my party had a great experience overall. I enjoyed the food, taste was on point, ordered a variety of items such as wings, egg n bird sandwich, grilled chicken avocado bowl, Mac salad, and banana dessert. Definitely coming back, staff was professional, and friendly.“

“I recently dined at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The chicken nachos were absolutely delicious, and the portion size was generous. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making for a delightful dining experience overall. Highly recommend!“

“After bowling a couple games, I decided to stop in Cal Bowl Coffee Shop for a bite to eat. Went with something simple and healthy. A salad with the works. After placing my order (I was the only customer) I started wondering what was taking so long. Grab the salad out of the fridge and serve. Much to my surprise, the guy made the salad there on the spot. Fresh ingredients, including bacon, turkey, cheese, crisp fresh veggies and slices of egg! No pre-made salad sitting for days ... made there on the spot, and wow! Excellent. Seems everything is pretty much made this way. Definitely worth a short wait because the food and flavor is rewarding. AND my order was just a salad. LoL. Will be back to sample some of the special doughnuts and a cooked meal. Don't let the 'cafe' fool you, this is quality dinning.“

“Great brunch spot for that classic feel local dinner joint.They have their main dinning inside as well for an covered patio seating that wraps around.We sat by the front in a booth which I think is the best seat in the place for sure.They have specials, staff is friendly, accommodating and on point even when they are busy.I got the cinnamon banana fresh toast with a side of sausage links, and a hazelnut coffee.It was so delicious, I was just taking my time devouring eat flavor packed bite.Seriously no syrup needed at all it was just perfect!This place literally has plenty of options for whatever it is you’re craving as well for cocktails or mimosas.I highly recommend coming here to get your grub on.Vegetarian options: Salads, veggie patties, potatoesParking: There is parking on the local streets with a simple walk to the cornerKid-friendliness: They have high chair and booster options and a coloring booklet and crayons on request“

“I specialize in the renovation of kitchens, but this is Grandmas country kitchen 2.0. Both a local market and an incredibly good southern inspired restaurant, be prepared to be warmed by the good spirit of true comfort food and energy of the old days... when food took time but every1 chatted away... It was my first time here, so I didn't get a chance to really experiment on food (chicken sausage, eggs, and pancakes), but it was pleasant. Good prices and a local spot you should not miss.“

“Went back to visit Alder & Sage this morning. I had the Classic Breakfast again. Super delicious and the Sangria beverage was very refreshing too. The vibe is always great here. The customer service by my waiter Jessica was excellent. She's probably one of the best hospitality people I've been privileged to serve in this Industry. I work in restaurants too so when I say she's the best I really mean it. This place always deserves 5 Stars. Thank-you again Alder & Sage.“

“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!“

“Modern interior yet cozy and warm.Service is excellent - attentive but not hovering or rushing you to make selections.Menus are well balanced with a variety of classic and new combinations of favorites and more importantly everything was delicious - great cocktails, yummy pastas, fish and juicy steaks + short ribs!!!“

“I heard on instagram that they were having an event and when u walked in I was blown away!!! It looked very expensive but there was no cover charge and the Dj had everyone inside lit. I'm glad I decided to park in the parking lot next door because I would missed this spot!!! The Food is amazing the drink were delicious. SHOUTOUT to O the bartender. Out West, the Best on the west side of Downtown LongBeach PERIODT!!!“

“This is my go-to place when I’m in Whittier! I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with garlic fries and garlic spread. It was delicious; each bite was a delight, and the presentation was 10/10. I also had the best server!! Her name was Angela and she was so professional and had an amazing customer service. She was very nice, polite, and welcoming with a beautiful smile on her face. I would come back just for the service! Also, the ambiance in this place was very inviting and comfortable.“

“Love this place! Small family owned pizza shop. Nice, quick service. My husband and I always get their personal size pizzas which are super fresh. I normally get the vegetarian personal pizza which comes with a TON of veggies like bell peppers, olives, tomatoes, and onions. Hubs loves the pastrami pizza. The pastrami here is thick sliced. Cash only otherwise there's an ATM at the liquor store next door.“

“Meet my friend for her birthday lunch and we had the place to ourselves....Our service for spectacular...Definitely get the "Diva" Martini...We will be meeting there again for sure...Can't say enough great things about this place....Parking: Great, lots of it & very close....“

“Ever since I discovered this place I've been hooked! The food is so good! I've had sandwiches made the way I want, fresh juices made the way I want and I've tried a few dishes of their hot food and it's so deliciously homemade! The menu lists the basic stuff but the hot food changes daily so you get something new throughout the week to try! I've had the chiliquiles, spicy shredded chicken, chicken with spinach and egg, they have breakfast options also. The staff are super friendly every single time I come in and the prices are super inexpensive and you really can not be disappointed after you try it!“

“I came for the chicken sandwich but since I didn’t have breakfast. I went with the Chicken & Waffles. This may have been one of the BEST Waffles I had ever tried. It was Hot & Fresh. It was almost like eating a fresh buttery donut but not as sweet with the Maple Syrup. i ordered the dark meat chicken but it wasn't the heat level i was looking for. Id need to try again with the smokey tomato sauce. Highly recommend that too. Ill definitely be back:“

“I've lived in the neighborhood for several months before trying this restaurant and the only disappointment is that I didn't try it sooner. I very much enjoyed their pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich and pastrami french fries. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. I couldn't be happier with my first visit and with about a year and a half left before graduating, I'm probably going to spend a lot of time and money at this place.I live in USC grad student housing and this restaurant is, by far, the most convenient place to eat in the area. It's just a few blocks from my apartment. It's certainly worth the trip.“

“Love legends hot chicken in general, but this little spot really did wonders. The sandwich was "JUMBO" that was not an exaggeration. Jaleel at the counter was super nice and helpful. It's definitely more of a take out location, but it has a small indoor dining. Niko in the back was friendly and did a wonderful job getting the food out fresh and ?.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available table at a good height.Parking: It's in a shopping center so lots of parking but can be crowded depending how busy the area isWheelchair accessibility: Double open doors with no bar in the middle for double wide opening“

“The classic example of doing a few things well. They don't have as many options on their menu as other restaurants in the area however the selection that they do have they do exceptionally well, couple with their Artisan cocktails this place is certainly a "do" on your "to-do" list.“

“I stopped by the market across the street to use the ATM before coming to this delicious cash-only drive-thru. Service was friendly and so fast. The food was great. I spent under $20 for a full chicken, a dozen tortillas, medium rice, and medium beans. Two kinds of salsa were also included. This ended up being about four meals for me! I hope I work near you all again soon so that I have an excuse to stop by for another meal.Parking: Parking is behind the building.“

“I brought the family for lunch to eat before going to the movies. I'd give 10 STARS if it was possible! Sublime experience all the way around. It was my wife's first time, but Steven was as patient and helpful as possible with our questions. We had regular Buffalo Wings, Dragon, Tai Chile and Jamaican Jerk. All 4 flavors were delicious. The dry rub on the Jamaican Jerk was perfect. Will definitely be back! The seasoned fries are the bomb!“
