Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Long Beach

The food was exceptional. We got the 18oz Porterhouse steak and it was delicious. So tender and flavorful. Our waiter, Gilberto was amazing. We genuinely felt the love from him. I brought my girlfriend (Now fiancé) here after proposing to her at the beach and our waiter was wonderful. He gave us all the best wishes and even a complimentary Crème Brûlée. Will definitely be back here. Best steakhouse in town hands down.

Absolutely delightful experience. A Christmas gift to our family from Portland and they loved it. It could not have been more perfect. Food service, ambience, decorations… everything!!

We truly enjoyed the food, although it did take almost a half hour for us to get our drinks. It was a crazy busy holiday night, so the servers were really struggling.  we will certainly return

Our waiter was very helpful, friendly and attentive, but not too much, as he had a lot of tables this afternoon. Fries came with my lunch. I had to request a fresh order of fries as mine were very cool. The Clam Chowder is the best item on the menu, though over priced as are all food items. But yhou're paying for the relocation, not the high quality of the menu items. Food quality is B-.

The food was outstandingly fresh, high quality, and creatively prepared and served. The price fixe menu of many courses seemed to climb a bell curve, with the least interesting being the shrimp chip and dip starter ‘snack’ , climbing to a magnificent crescendo with the the scallop and mussel small plate, and an equally exquisite plate of the freshest sliced kampachi. Each plate was beautiful, graced with curated vegetables, flowers, and delicate sauces that completed, never overpowered. Our only complaint: we found the dessert disappointing in flavor, appearance and texture: a choux pastry ball with a heavy dull filling, sitting on top of a scatter of what resembled stale cocoa puff cereal pieces. I would have traded it for the rich creamy mascapone ice cream served earlier, sans the caviar topping. The service was outstanding: gracious, helpful, attentive, knowledgeable and well orchestrated. Overall we had a fabulous dining experience, exceeding our highest expectations. In most every way, including price, dining here is a special occasion; we could not understand how or why most diners we observed were wearing gym clothes, T-shirts and jeans, sneakers, fuzzy slippers. What’s next: dining in our underwear? How about a dress code?!
