Open Sesame
Mar 13, 2007 by Karen from Long Beach

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• The food was healthy, fresh and very delicious.
• The parking on 2nd street is difficult.

“What a great find, possibly one of the best restaurants in long beach / Belmont shore. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the fried potatoes, kibbi, hummus (outstanding the best I have ever had) and the chicken tawook plate. The restaurant has beautiful decor and the server was really friendly.”

KFC

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[6] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Cheerful- good price for a quick lunch.
• Inefficient staff- often confuses orders.

“Drive-thru is handy, and staff tries to be friendly, but more-often-than not there is a problem with staff forgetting part of the order, or otherwise confusing things. Check the bag before you drive off.”

Chee's Chinese Restaurant
Feb 26, 2007 by GREG from GARDENA

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[9] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• The food was well served, along with fast service.
• Location is not the best. Price could be a little lower.

“The cheese restaurant was better then I expected. The food was flavorful cooked well an for the price was actually great for what seems to be a mom & pop type of eatery. Would recommend this as a place to dine in or take out.”

Grounds Bakery Cafe (Inc)

Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• The Asia go bread is the best I have ever had and used in a sandwich - it¿s heavenly. The bagels are also the best I've found as well, especially since blue mountain and Bronx left us.
• I didn't find it sooner.

“This is the absolutely best place to get bagels, sandwiches or anything else with flour in it! Its like going to that great aunts house you always wish you had. ”

Rezzini's Pizza
Jan 10, 2007 by Carmen from Long Beach

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Food is consistent.
• Sometimes can be a little loud.

“Razzing is a local small Italian restaurant. They have great pizza! Their pasta dishes are respectable and the food is definitely a good value for the money. There is a big screen TV and one pool table. You can usually depend on quite a few kids running around. Allot of local family's dine there. As far as business traveling. I travel on a regular basis and prefer to find local hangouts with good food versus chains and fancy fare; consequently, for my tastes, I would love to find a razzing when I¿m traveling.”

Sky Room Restaurant
Jan 5, 2007 by M from Indianapolis

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[2] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[9]

• View & music.
• Everything else. Horrible service. Pricey (0+ for 2). Horrible service.

“We wanted a nice, romantic restaurant in long beach. We read reviews before we left about the sky room and booked a reservation. We hated the sky room! The view and music were good and that's about all! We waited 2 and1/2 hours for a salad and piece of bread. The service was one of the worst ever. The staff was busy visiting at the bar. When we questioned where our food was, the waiter got very snippy with us. The food came almost 3 hours after we arrived. It was average and warm (not hot). We paid over 0 for a less than average meal and horrible service. There are much better places to eat in long beach. One of our worst dining experiences ever!”

Alexs Bar
Nov 4, 2006 by Fred Garvin from Eureka, California

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• There¿s an outdoor patio for smoking and mingling.
• There¿s no smoking inside.

“The climate for this rath skeller is hot, there, as in smoking. The dance area is capacious, there's a lounge area with booths to add to the intimate atmosphere there. The juke box is far out and some of the world's finest performers have been known to grace the stage there. The art on the wall is recherche indicative of the people you will find there. One of the largest varieties of the finest beers and spirits there. There is a place where it all takes place, "Alex Bar'.”

La Creperie Cafe
Nov 2, 2006 by Claudia from Beverly Hills

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Loved the gypsy jazz live music on Saturday nights.
• Waiters are too busy to provide good service.

“Contrary to some of the reviews I have read, I have been to La Creepier about 5 times. Each time has been on a Saturday evening when they have had live gypsy jazz music by the band, The Mezzanines. They provide a wonderful ambiance and add to the life of the restaurant. The food is delicious, especially the crepes. The service could improve since it is a very busy place and the waiters are way too busy to give personal attention, but regardless my review of this classy decorated and beautiful place is still an overall 10! Go on a Saturday when the music fills the air.”

• Blueberry pancakes!
• Not open very late.

“The best food ever! the worlds best blueberry pancakes! You won't be disappointed. Service is great, very friendly, no crowds really at all, fun atmosphere, especially if you like old 50's cars. Better then any chain restaurant could deliver. ”

La Creperie Cafe

Overall Rating: 6
Food:[8] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Food is good.
• The worst service ever.

“I thought I was the only one had bad service in that place. The waitress totally ignored us for the entire meal time, and we complained to our busboy who is really nice and sweet to us. After few minutes our waitress came by instead of saying sorry she questioned us with very bad attitude why we were not satisfied with her service, and I told her that we didn't get bread or water for the first half hour, she didn't even come by to ask what we need. After I told her that, she got mad and left. That was the worst server I ever had. I ended up giving all the tips to the bus boy, he was the only one took care of our table that night. That was a really bad experience, but I do like their food though.”

Frenchy's Bistro
Sep 17, 2006 by Gwyn from Paramount

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[7]

• The veal tenderloin can't be beat.
• I'd like for it to be a little more private in seating arrangements.

“This is the only place where I get both the appetizer and a dessert after a wonderful meal, yes I make extra room when it's the best. Start with the foi grass, you wont be disappointed I promise and make sure you end your meal with a souffle, Andre makes the best on the west coast. Take your time with dinner and ask your host to pair the wine to your meal, she knows what will be the right accent for the meal you've chosen. French's isn't cheap, but it's just right for a special occasion. One more thing, if I had a choice to go anywhere in the area I live, my first choice is always French's, with that said, enjoy dinner!”

Pizza-Domenicos
Sep 14, 2006 by Patrick from Los Angeles

Overall Rating: 5
Food:[4] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Fine for kids and families; decent house salad.
• Horrible chicken pram; pizza was hard and tough.

“Overall unimpressed despite other's glowing reviews. Food was mediocre at best. Three of us went by tonight for the first time; my friend said it looked like a "Sharkeys" trying to be a bit more classy. The place is family friendly. Meaning it is loud and everybody gets to sit real close to each other in small booths or tables. The salads and some pasta entries can be served in incremental amounts to serve up to about eight people. Service was fine; tableware was dirty. As for the food, we tried their house salad, Supreme Pizza and a Chicken Parmasana. The house salad comes with a 'special' dressing that is basically a thick (really thick) Caesers dressing with garlic; we liked it. Lots of fresh Romaine, olives and some tomatoes. The pizza came covered with copious amounts of shredded pepperoni, sausage, olives and onions in a light tomato sauce. The crust was not too thin, not too full...but hard and tough. Good pizza crust is firm on the bottom and soft on the inside; we could tell this crust came from less-than-overwhelming dough. As for the chicken parm...skip it and save yourself some grief. Sliced chicken chunks (chunks!) served over rottelli pasta drowning in a red sauce covered in some kind of gooey mess. The chicken was dry -- my impression is it had been out for a while and likely doubles as a topping for the BBQ Chicken Pizza. Garlic bread was a decent hoagie roll with some butter and garlic on top. I've seen worse. But with the profusion of places small and large up and down 2nd Street I would definitely seek culinary solace elsewhere. These guys have been in business a long time, probably because they've been in a good location for a long time. But if you need to sit six kids and four adults down for some decent noodles and meatballs...you have found your place.”

• Good dessert selection, affordable.
• Not enough patio space.

“A fun funky coffeehouse/cafe set in a turn-of-the-century decorated reading room. Loads of comfy chairs to settle into while reading a new novel, sipping lattes, or eating a sandwich. Also, a fun place to people watch. ”

• Carne Asada Tacos.
• Cramped dining space

“Tasty Mexican favorites with an interesting bent (like the mushroom tacos). Many familiar items done well, all fresh, and usually crowded. Not a lot of room though, so it's best to try it during non-peak hours.”

La Creperie Cafe
May 15, 2006 by Caroline from Huntington Beach, Calif.

Overall Rating: 6
Food:[8] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Food is tasty and well-priced.
• Very poor service (with an attitude) and cleanliness issues.

“I had lunch at La Creperie Cafe today and from the moment our party sat down, we were surprised. Four out of the five forks on our table were visibly dirty and sticky. We asked for new utensils and it took over 10 minutes to get them when only three tables in the restaurant were occupied. Next, two people in our party ordered a salad and only one person got their salad. We waited, waited and waited - no salad and no waitress for another 10 minutes. The next time we saw our waitress, she had our entries and no apologies for the missing salad. Instead of a modest apology, we got major attitude from the waitress. It's too bad because the food is good (credit to the cooks), but with such poor service and cleanliness issues - the place leaves much to be desired. Even with a forgiving group like ours, we found ourselves talking about the HORRIBLE SERVICE for an hour after we left. Management needs to closely examine who they hire, because a couple of servers made us feel like we were inconveniencing them. Bad service leaves a lasting impression and overshadows the experience. They need to get their act together!”

• Good food, cute place.
• Bad service, cramped tables.

“I have tried 3 times now to have a good experience at this raved about restaurant but have been very disappointed. On one occasion our party of 4 ended up leaving. We were having drinks at the bar waiting for our table and the hostess told us our table was ready. We paid the bar bill and went straight to the hostess station and was told we did not have a table at that time. We went back over to the bar area to wait and decided to eat there instead. It was a good 15 minutes before a server came over to us. My friend ordered a vodka martini and said it didn't taste right. Then I saw on the menu that it was a rice vodka and the server had not let us know before hand and still charged for it. Finally after another almost 10 minutes we decided to leave since the server did not come back. As we were leaving the manager asked if he could help us and I told him about the experience and he offered no apology, only the next available table. We decided to go to another restaurant. It is too bad though because the place is really cute and the crepes are good, but they definitely lost us as customers because the don't hire enough staff for a busy restaurant. They should have stayed small if they couldn't handle the business.”

• The pizza and salad is the best values.
• Wok pasta .

“This is a good family restaurant where you can eat for less than $20. Their $5 pizza is good. They have a well rounded menu of pasta with a variety of sauces. Their antipasto salad is real good and a great bargain for the price. This is not a gourmet food stop, its good food for a good price.”

• The foooooood! and the wonderful host.
• The wait staff was very preoccupied, we had to sit a while for service.

“Oh my gosh! I have never been so elated by a dining experience. There are fancier places and there are more exciting places, but there will never be a more perfect place than this. My sister and I were treated like favored guests in the home of a gracious host. And the food!!! Never before have I experienced such joy from my palate! The food will literally make you smile from the sheer joy of eating. If I could have pried myself from the table I swear there would have been angels with wings cooking up such delicacies as their seafood lasagna. Manga! I do believe my right eye shed a tiny tear when I had to leave. Let me say also that I can't wait to go back. This place deserves to be blessed with the very next special occasion. Hope to see you there,bye!”
