“Heritage Restaurant, Long Beach – A Well-Earned Michelin Star by Michael Broderick. In a city where “Californian” culinary ambition often plays second fiddle to casual dining, Heritage in Long Beach has carved out a place of quiet excellence, earning a well-deserved Michelin star. This intimate dining experience is a testament to ingredient-driven, technique-forward cooking, where flavors are both restrained, unpretentious, and deeply expressive. From the first bite, it was clear that Heritage excels at layering textures and flavors in unexpected ways. The meal began with an Amuse Bouche trio: a delicate prawn cracker topped with sweet Dungeness crab, a green leaf with another seafood salad that was to be eaten like a mini street taco, and balanced with the brightness and light crunch of pickled turnip. A seemingly simple couple of bites, but one that foreshadowed the precision and thoughtfulness of the courses to follow. To cleanse the palate, a mint tea infused with palo santo was served—a meditative interlude that was both refreshing and aromatic, setting the stage for the evening’s journey. The first official course, Crème Caviar, featured Russian Sturgeon Heritage Caviar and chive, a chilled preparation that was rich yet elegantly restrained. This was followed by Kanpachi Crudo, presented with carrot, ginger, and macédoine vegetables, offering a balance of clean ocean flavors against bright, vegetal undertones. Then came what I consider the star of the evening: a dish that fully captured the ethos of Heritage—Hen of the Woods Mushroom, topped in a “sunchoke stew” (crispy fried sunchoke) with fermented mushroom. For an additional $25, an indulgent shaving of black truffle took the dish to another level, transforming it into a sensory experience that evoked the deep, earthy satisfaction of foraging. The interplay of umami-rich elements made this course a masterpiece of textural and flavor contrast. The proteins that followed were executed with equal care. First, a perfectly prepared Rainbow Trout, sauted to perfection with a crispy layer of skin on one side, delicate pink flesh on the other, bathed in a delicate dashi and punctuated with bursts of smoked trout roe in a light creme sauce, which lent salinity and depth. Then, a 32-day dry-aged rib chop, a cut that can sometimes lean too “gamey” in the tradiinal steak house that cuts corners on a post aging trim, yet here was a revelation—tender, deeply beefy, but balanced. Accompanying the dish was sous vide endive, black garlic, and a shaving of Parmesan, which surprisingly lacked the usual sharpness, instead presenting a more rounded, delicate, nutty flavor. Desserts were a study in technique and balance. The first, a Grilled Strawberry with strawberry granita and Meyer lemon crème, was bright and refreshing, its layers revealing different expressions of cool and sweetness. Then came the Coco Craquelin, a delicate choux pastry filled with beurre noisette ganache and banana cremeux, meant to be eaten with the hands—a playful and interactive moment in the meal. Finally, a Sage Basque Cake, its subtle herbaceousness complemented by toasted hemp seeds and lemon curd, provided a grounding, crispy finish. Heritage is the kind of restaurant that doesn’t simply chase trends—it refines them into something personal, something intentional. The execution is confident but never showy, and the experience is paced with precision, allowing each dish to tell its own story. This is not just a meal—it’s a quiet, profound meditation on flavor, technique, and the land from which it all comes. Where other restaurant profess to be a true “Californian” style farm to table experience , Heritage is, without a doubt, a must-visit for anyone who seeks out truly exceptional dining in California.“

“Lovely staff & great food.“

“The food was great. This would be a great place to take your date.“

“We drove 2 hours to meet friends driving down from LA. We all thought it well worth the effort. Food was really good, from fish and chips, Mahi Mahi and Chioppino. I would definitely go there again.“

“They have figured out the secret to great fish and chips. Cutest friendliest little husband and wife team. Always great and reasonably priced. Have been going for years.“

“Đồ ăn Việt Nam chân thực, mang hương vị quê hương“

“Always a great time here. Food is hearty and tasty. Great drink options and local music/DJs most nights.“

“Had dinner there Friday night. Our server was Nadia. She was excellent. Gave great recommendations, was friendly and timely. The food was tasty, large portions and the perfect temp. Order the crème brûlée! SOOO GOOD“

“Had the grilled fish sandwich. It was a nice piece of the catch of the day. It was grilled perfect. It was placed on a fresh roll with lettuce, tomato, onion and a very good sauce. It was served with fries. We upgraded it to truffle parmesean fries. They were delicious. Our server was very good. The food came quickly. We will go back!“

“We sat on nicely warmed outdoor patio watching the fun street scene pass us by. Creative options on the menu made it hard to choose. Exellent, beautifully presented wedge salad, seafood chowder and salmon were the winners. In the seafood chowder, at $18, we didn't expect a lot of seafood. It was more of a mushroom cream soup with delicious bread and some fish, which suited us fine. The salmon with couscous was perfectly prepared and a generous portion. The salad was also generous sized and creative. Service was excellent and non-intrusive. We parked right in front, free meter after 6 or 7pm. Fun to walk the area afterwards, see all the new places and Chapter II coffee which is open late and apparently turns into an alternative non-bar bar type scene with low lights and louder music. All in all, second street makes for a great date night.“

“I've been coming to Union Jack's for years now and have to say, they have the best fish and chips around... Hands down! Every other place where I've tried their fish and chips, I've compared them to Union J's and they have all failed! If you want to have some of the best around and enjoy some treats from the UK (they sell some imported items inside the restaurant) then Union Jack's is your place to go!“

“Just visited the San Pedro location on Gaffey. I had the garlic shrimp - seriously delicious!!!“

“Hi love it it it it it it it“

“My first time here , came based off Google reviews. Absolutely wish we can order everything off the menu but my stomach can't take it all!! I ordered the Cantonese filet mignon stir fry with mushrooms, onions and Thai basil leaves and it was soooo flavorful and tender. My friend ordered the chow mein with chicken and it was soo delicious and I'm not talking about the panda express type chow mein. Can tell that this place really uses quality ingredients. Love the atmosphere. Hope to come back here again with my family to enjoy their dimsum!! I definitely want to try their Boston lobster fish next time!! Please check this restaurant out if you are a local or coming from out of town! It's a must😊“

“Plenty of seating space. We always get deep fried halibut and French fries. Great combo.“

“I recently visited this charming little Mexican and marisco restaurant for the first time, and it was a delightful experience. The server was not only nice but also incredibly attentive, enhancing our dining experience. We were treated to complimentary chips accompanied by delicious bean dip, queso fresco, and salsa, which were simply fantastic. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and I highly recommend them for their flavor and freshness. Overall, I would rate this spot an 8 out of 10, primarily because I found the prices to be a bit on the high side.“

“Came here for a business dinner and was seated outside on a beautiful evening. Started off with a mix of oysters and the Cevichos. Both were excellent. Then the 5 of us went different directions for our mains, but my Squid Ink Linguini was top notch! Our server this evening was Chase K. He did excellent and we would love to come back here. Really good restaurant!“

“Food is always fresh and delicious I’ve been eating here since 2019 staff is always friendly by far the best deal on poke bowls around 3-4 dollars cheaper than any other poke spot but the lower price doesn’t mean worse food highly recommend poki naya“

“Exquisito 👌riquísimo muy buen servicio agradable ambiente“

“My husband and I went to Parker’s Lighthouse for dinner on a Friday night, the first time at this restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised by the great service we received from our waiter and other waiters, no wait for a table, due to ample indoor and outdoor seating available, and the food was great. I wish I could remember our waiter’s name, he was in his 20’s, tall/lean, brunette, great personality, and great service. The only complaint I have is the hostess did not sit us at a great table originally, it took her three times to find a table with some kind of a view, there was plenty of seating options that had a partial or full view.“

“Ordered lobster and shrimp tacos today. They were delicious! I highly recommend them.“

“Todo muy rico todos muy amantes“

“My husband took me for my birthday! The cocktails were great I ordered the swordfish tacos and they were delicious. We had a wonderful time“

“My family and I still enjoy coming to Capital Seafood. The ambiance is welcoming, staff is always accommodating and the food is still a 10! We come here for family birthdays, special gatherings or even if we have that craving of authentic Chinese Cambodian flavors. If the restaurant doesn’t close even during holidays, it’s definitely a special place to visit! It’s always a big feast for big families and it’s worth it! Thanks Kelvin!!!!“

“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! ♥️“

“It was over a decade ago but I still remember my first meal here. This is a locals long standing hole in the wall. Owner is a straight up american tale. He also makes a mean Clam Chowder. The only reason why I don't think it has more reviews is that it's location may seem out of the way for most. People make the trek to come here because the food is simple, hearty, memorable and as fresh as wild catch gets. It's probably the best seafood in all of LA. At the very least, it's worth trying out.“

“We've been here a few times for lunch because our work is nearby. Always very friendly service. Food is good! For a good lunch and relaxing atmosphere, not much else you can ask for. Don't know if they have their own parking, but usually we park on the street. It's an industrial area, so lots of trucks driving by. Overall good place for lunch“
