Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Long Beach

Came in to check it out for the first time and had an amazing experience. Live piano was great. The ambience was very nice. George helped us through the menu and guided us through the dry aged selections and the accompaniments for the steaks. Our meal was too good! Can’t wait to come back

For the past six years, our family has celebrated our son’s birthday at Parker’s Lighthouse. This tradition has become a cherished part of our family’s yearly celebrations. The restaurant’s exceptional location offers stunning ocean views that complement the delicious meals and excellent service we’ve come to expect. It’s the perfect setting for making lasting family memories.

Great happy hour menu and drinks. Cool decor and good service.

Fuego has such a great ambiance, almost impossible to beat if you enjoy waterside dining with breathtaking views and understated elegance. Food is always tasty but service is typically a bit spotty, but the ambience usually makes up for any service glitches. Last night’s prix fixe Christmas dinner, though, was so RUSHED, not enjoyable. There are many examples but the most offensive one was our party of three were still eating our dinners, plates in front of us, when the server brought the desserts and inquired if we were done. Two of us were not, but the server removed our plates (still with dinner on them) and left the ice cream topped desserts in their place. We were not slow diners. Our dinner plates were removed within 20 mins of being served but then replaced with dessert. We were in and out within 65 mins of being seated. My guess is the aim was to turn tables every hour on Christmas. We asked the server why it was so rushed, as it wasn’t crowded. He said the kitchen staff was controlling the pace. We suggested the diners themselves should set the pace, especially if they’re not lingering too long. Expense was expected, including ridiculous validated parking fee, but we didn’t expect to have to be in and out in just under an hour.

We were greeted warmly, served by an attentive server who took our orders. The food was delicious and the room was quiet and comfortable. A wonderful experience.
