“My husband and I went to Patty's Place for our anniversary. We were thinking it was just your basic steak house. We were wrong. Nothing about Patty's is basic.I was shocked when we walked in. It has just enough elegance to enhance a cozy, and comfortable experience. The service was excellent and very friendly. Needless to say, the food was magnificent. I've never had side dishes be as delicious as the main meal. The potatoes and veggies were out of this world. ~ I can honestly say, " it was the best food I've ever eaten." This restaurant gets a 10 in my book.”

121 Main Street, Seal Beach

“I come here in the early morning to just hangout and the bartender Mike is really nice. This is a great place to shoot pool I love their back patio but the only issue I have is that it closes at 9 and the signs say you can't have drinks outside. I'm not sure why they do this but the patio is really comfy they have lounge chairs and high tables. Its such a nice environment. Other than that I really like the vibe of this bar. All the bartenders I met here so far are nice too. Kevin is kind as well. I will definitely be back.”

“Truly the most disgusting linguine and clams I’ve ever had. The clams and pasta were over cooked. On top of it all your menu listed every ingredient except the cream. I hate any dairy in my seafood. As do ALL. Italians. Most dissatisfied and disappointed. What do you expect from a seafood joint named “Walt’s”. Never again.”

The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with authentic Thai flavors that transported us to Thailand. Scott, our server, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. Not only did he provide impeccable service, but he also shared interesting tidbits about the area, like the length of the actual “Long Beach” in Long Beach, adding a delightful personal touch to our evening. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. Five stars all around for Thai District!"”

Gives you free access to the whole ship, parking is discounted to $10. (you must validate at the bar). You cannot beat the atmosphere and view. 1930's decor. Live band with singer, playing big band music. You can self-tour the ship before or after. (Engine room closes at 6pm). They discontinued happy hour prices November 2025. Food was great. We had a Flatbread (Queen Mary 3 Stacks, sorry we ate half in the picture) and Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Bistro Chips. A bit pricey but well worth it.”

Super appreciate Brianna, and other bartenders in the past years, for consistently making newcomers feel welcomed and maintain vigilance. Drinks left behind are taken care of efficiently. They keep a clean, uncluttered bar. Been going here for a few years. First hangout spot I checked out when I moved here. Definitely a good vibe wether you go on weekday or weekend.”

The bartenders are really nice, it’s a great crowd of people that u can feel at ease with and the drinks are delicious. I like the location because it’s by all business that close early so there’s plenty of parking at night. There’s a Mexican food taco stand on the corner if u get hungry. They have a clean and well lit outside area for smokers. I thought it was a great bar in Long Beach”

“It's not a bad place. It's a good stop for a cold beer. Especially for me because I am in a Handiman scooter when I am running out of power. They always let me charge up myt scooter while I have a beer. Otherwise I will not make it home. And some days it's not a laughing matter. It's that close of a call. The bartender seems nice. But she is busy with other people. And that is good for business.”

“We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding day at Olive & Rose, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As longtime fans of their food, we already knew that we and our guests were going to enjoy an amazing meal, but they went far beyond our expectations in every other aspect of our special day. One of the highlights was their bartender, who went above and beyond to create personalized cocktails inspired by our love story. It was such a thoughtful and unique touch that made our wedding feel even more personal and special. Throughout the entire evening, every staff member we interacted with was friendly, professional, attentive, and on the ball. They worked incredibly hard to keep the food and drinks flowing while making sure our guests were taken care of. We were able to relax, dance the night away, enjoy incredible food, and truly soak in the moment. We left at the end of the night completely satisfied and with memories that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Thank you to the entire Olive & Rose team for helping make our wedding day so special. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!”
