welcome to the Eldo
Located proudly in the heart of Long Beach City, the Eldo - formerly known as the Eldorado - has been a staple in the LBC restaurant community since 1957.
Owned by South African native Trevor Nettmann since 2012 - the Eldo has been restored to its fullest potential & now boasts an eclectic menu of both American // South African fare.
With a sole focus on serving the highest quality food + craft cocktails & locally brewed craft beer - is passionate about cultivating both a local // international menu with an equally captivating atmosphere for each guest.
We would love for you to join us.
Cheers - the Eldo

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Eldo delights with "first-rate" food, "stiff drinks," and a warm, locals-only vibe. Patrons rave about the "perfectly-cooked" salmon, "addictive" peri-peri chicken, and "awe-inspiring" steaks. The patio offers a quieter dining experience, while the bustling interior is perfect for sports enthusiasts. Consistent "excellent service" completes this beloved neighborhood gem.

We love the Eldo - never disappointed when we dine there. Excellent food - this time, in our dinner party, we had the filet, the halibut and the beef Wellington. All entrees were delicious! We would highly recommend The Eldo for an enjoyable dining experience!!!

We always enjoy coming here for dinner once again we had the same server Ivy she was excellent highly recommend sitting in her area. If you can do it, we will return quite often as long as the food quality and service remains at this level.

Our table and chairs were filthy since we sat outside. I used my napkin to wipe it off and had dirt all over the napkin. I wish I could share the picture of it I took. The hostess was awful. I would absolutely think twice before ever going there again which is a bummer because we have enjoyed out experience ls previously but it has been a couple years since we went there last.
