“Good quality food. Healthy options. Great service. My favorite is the braised beef and mushroom with mashed potatoes. The mango tart is amazing.“

“Warm, hands on and personalized service. A Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant…Food Made from Scratch, fresh, unique, different, and affordable. Highly recommended! The red onion focaccia bread with herb and Parmesan butter, added Burrata - best- seller, a must. The 3 day brined smoked fried chicken-different taste, with soy and Chiles, a must!!!The Peruvian pork belly with sweet potato , Criolla and crispy quinoa , love it! And the Grilled NY steak with green garlic chimichurri, chorizo aioli and pommes pont neuf, thick cut fries…my son prefers over the fried chicken.“

“I’m a local LB resident and today I took my family visiting from UK to LBX Hangar for dinner.

We decided that the hangar was really crowded and stumbled across the 908 restaurant. From the moment the staff offered us the chance to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere to the moment we left, we were delighted by the food choices and the service.

Their mule is amazing - the freshly ground ginger is a special touch and the whole drink was so good my “one drink only” wife had another.

My sister and I both ate the Shrimp Pho Sandwich - a unique combination of flavors and definitely recommended. The goat cheese and cauliflower appetizer was fantastic.

Their tiramisu is definitely worth ordering - even without any room left.

The best words go to their staff however - the team that helped us were amazing, Attentive and eager to please. John the supervisor was instantly on top of all issues, however minor as was Ethan.

Great work, all - we will be back …“

“Always satisfied with the freshest ingredients ‼️❤️“

“Taya was an absolute gem! busy as hell Steelers Takeover got served and kept us served the whole time! thanks Taya! food was great spirits were better!“

“Outstanding food and great staff! I wish I lived in Torrance 😂😂😂⚡️❤️“

“Wow! This is a hidden gem! Had a few hours until our flight out of Long Beach. Found this amazing spot for a coffee and was absolutely blown away by the owner(Shannon) and the menu! We ordered 2 coffees a sandwich and a cinnamon roll. The coffees were amazing, the owner made me a custom coffee. I asked for 'Something Sweet' and the drink was so good we ordered a 2nd one. Cinnamon roll was hot, sweet, and cream cheese frosted. Licked the bowl clean! Breakfast Sandwich was made with fresh ingredients and was so tasty! We will plan our future trips to this Airport just to have this coffee and cinnamon roll again! 10/10! Oh and the reggae music jamming is the vibe!!“

“Dined here this evening. We enjoyed some Cocktails to start then ordered Beef Tartare, Shrimp with Veg and Roasted Carrots. Entrees varied from Pasta to Ribeye steak and Burger. All delicious. The Carbonara needed more bacon but that was the only issue. Desserts were great. The Espresso wasn’t hot enough for my guest but overall we enjoyed the evening celebrating a birthday. Will recommend to my friends for sure. Would recommend a reservation as it was very busy by the time we left at 6.30 pm“

“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!! ❤️“

“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.“

“This was my first visit to this restaurant and I must say I was VERY pleased with my experience. I am vegan + food allergies and I was accommodated with care and excellency. The manager personally made my meal (lettuce wrapped veggie tacos) and it was delicious!!! I meant to take a picture. They were really good and satisfying.

Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten sensitive menu and can accommodate you if you have dietary restrictions.“

“This is the restaurant located at the spa and they have the BEST breakfast options at the resort. The flight of jams was to die for served with a variety of fresh baked bread. I would have to say you should book a spa treatment just to have a chance to eat breakfast here.“

“Good service good food 🥘!“

“At first glance, you probably thought Google Maps directed you to the wrong address. There's no way this is the correct burger restaurant, but looks can be deceiving. With a sketchy-looking "order inside" sign on the wall outside, you walk into the liquor store and see this hole-in-the-wall burger joint.

I ordered the classic hamburger and regular fries to be on the safe side, but I wish I had been braver to try out the other options. The total costs for the hamburger and fries came out to be ~$20 with a tip. The hamburger felt like a homemade hamburger fresh from off the grill. The fries were a little salty but goes perfect with the ketchup. We ate outside on the tables since there weren't any available seats inside or public bathrooms that we saw, although I could be wrong.

Summary:
- BATHROOM. I didn't see one but there could be one inside the liquor store for customers only.
- CLEANLINESS. The presentation of the food was good. Nothing spilled and all utensils were in the bag.
- COSTS. $ Decently priced for the quality.
- CUSTOMER SERVICE. The staff were very fast. It took about 10 minutes for the food to come out.
- FOOD QUALITY. The ingredients are fresh and super tasty. Nothing frozen, generic, or bland. Something about hamburgers make me nostalgic.
- FOOD QUANTITY. A decently sized meal.
- WAIT TIME. About a 10 minute wait.“

“We took some out of town guests here for lunch. Everyone was delighted. They loved watching the cars race on the track! Drinks were delicious 😋 We all ordered different items for lunch. All pleased with what they got. Would recommend and look forward to going back again.“

“It was such a lovely venture out for my Mom’s birthday, on Friday. Alex and Dominique (management) are quite lovely, and helped make our dining experience all the more, a joy! Love the new additions to the menu, particularly the Mini Steak French Dips. The Chicken Parmesan was excellent with the twist of those ‘pepper-like sweet’ tomatoes. If there is ever something you want to bring back to the menu I would highly suggest the sliders, they were missed for sure lol! Looking forward to dining again here, soon. Cheers! ✨💖🥂“

“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.“

“This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food, the people, the atmosphere. I came here for dinner with my best friend and we left so full, happy, and excited to come back again. It was nostalgic but we’ve never been here before. Very grateful for the over hospitality and ambience of the place as a whole but we will be coming back with more friends and Family!

“Great local spot in a great area. Wonderful staff. Our server and the managers were very attentive. And when we had an issue with some thing, they remedied it right away. The food was much better than my memory of it the last time I was there. I hadn't been here in a long time, but I will definitely be putting this on my regular rotation now. The prices are decent and the food is solid and it's an easy place to go with two people or eight people. “

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

“They are good. I try them whenever I'm around“

“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! ♥️“

“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!!!“

“Everything we ordered was fantastic.“

“Very good service and the food was delicious“

“Highly recommended, this is a very good restaurant“

“Decadence is the place to come for great cocktails and food. They have excellent service and provide amazing music on the weekends. I brought my friends to decadence and had a great time! Did I mention the amazing ambiance! Great for a night out in Hermosa beach! Highly recommend!“

“Food was good, you could sit inside or out. The service was good but we had just finished our food and we were finishing up our drinks when our waitress just leans across the table to start restocking items. She got one walked away then came back a minute or two later 5 times. Never said excuse me or anything. There were plenty of open tables. Just didn't feel like she was very polite. My and my friends opinion.“

“Yummy 😋 first time ever, in the heart of 2nd Street and I can't believe I've never been here. I havent eaten beef in a decade, unsure but had a taste for it today. 🤩 We shared all the goodness, short rib pizzzzzzza, BBQ scrumptious and so juicy burger, along with the poke tostada, which was piled high with aoli and fresh tartar.

The staff sets this place apart, all are welcoming, inviting and make you feel like your neighbors, including recommendations that melt in your mouth. Had to get a piece of swag memorabilia ie; truckers hat.....so much gratitude. They always say it's not just the food, yet who was a part of the taste test that matters.......highly recommended, scrumptious and delicious 😋“

“Came by on a late Friday afternoon to grab some lunch and enjoy the beach a bit. There was a rope course playground behind the building, cornhole & a big jenga block set for the kids to enjoy while we waited for our food. We got the burger, chicken, spicy burrito. None of it was mind-blowing but still very good. The chips that came with the burg were interesting, we were unsure if they were fried in-house or not but still decent if they were. The individual that served us at the window was on-point with his service, brought out our drinks for us and gave me a bag to use for leftovers. Would recommend if you're in the area.“

“I was looking for a quiet local place to ask my best friends to be my bridesmaids. I came across Slay and immediately booked a table! They were so accommodating when I arrived and poured me a much needed glass of champagne. Food was amazing! Bottomless mimosas were fantastic and you even get to choose different juices to add. My favorite was guava! Thank you Slay for helping me with such a memorable moment.“

“Hudson House is not just a restaurant; it's a vibe, and I'm here for it all! While everyone flocks here for their cheap Taco Tuesdays (and yes, they're great), the real magic happens during their “early” happy hour on Fridays at 3 PM and their unmissable jazz brunch on Sundays. The staff makes the experience unforgettable. Justin and Dani are absolute rockstars—not just as servers but as wicked bartenders! Their drink-making skills are unmatched, and they always make you feel like the most important guest in the room. It's clear the “not-so-new” owner, Kate, trained them to perfection—her expertise and charisma shine through in every aspect of the restaurant. And let me tell you, Kate is even more awesome in person! She keeps the energy high and the standards even higher. Hudson House is my go-to spot for fantastic food, perfectly crafted cocktails, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back. This place is more than a hidden gem—it's a staple. Highly recommend! Pro Tip: Don't sleep on their Friday happy hour or Jazz Sunday brunch; they're the real stars of the week. •A loyal regular!“

“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!“
