Restaurants near California State University Long Beach

We were lucky to get the chef’s special which was a lamb shank cooked to perfection. Apparently the chef only makes it twice a year. Our server also recommended the smoke salmon pastry. Sorry I don’t remember the proper name for each dish, but everything was just delicous. The roasted beets labneh tasted as pretty as it looked. Paired with de-alcoholized wine and friendly service, the overall experience was superb.

Very easy to make reservations via opentable app. It wasn’t crowded on a Wednesday afternoon, service was fast and efficient. Music wasn’t loud, my friends and I were able to yap. Food was excellent. This is my second time here and I knew they offer the off-menu Tomahawk Paella so I knew what to order and it did not disappoint . They will tell you it is good for 4 people but it was good for 6! We had 3 tapas, the Tomahawk plus dessert and coffee. We had so much paella left because there were only 4 of us. Hostess Mariate made sure we felt taken cared of 🤓

Had an amazing time here today with my mom for lunch, our server Tony was amazing helped us threw the whole experience, Megan the catering manager stepped by to make sure everything was great and are about to host a large party and turns out they have tons of options for that with food drinks and private rooms, Joe the bartender pointed out what a great price they have on clase azul and i hadn’t even seen it that low in a looong time, I highly recommend this place and will def be back!

Fun atmosphere. Excellent service. Food not real upscale but good. Would go there again.

A great meal! The BBQ Carrot appetizer is fabulous!
