The 908

We got lucky on our timing because Long Beach is having its Restaurant Week event so we got to try their special Restaurant Week menu which was a fixe prixe selection of some of their best specialties. The service was very nice, and the management and staff was very accommodating on a food allergy that I had that would not allow me to have the one dessert that was on the Restaurant Week menu- they allowed me to do a substitution which was appreciated.

This place never disappoints!!! The service is impeccable, great wine and specialty cocktails. Their food is AMAZING!!! This place is our go to for special occasions... We recently celebrated our anniversary and I ordered the shortrib w/mashed potatoes & veggies. My husband had the ribeye, mashed potatoes and asparagus for dinner... of course we started off with the ceasar salad and calamari as an appetizer YUM!! The calamari was so fresh, crispy, not chewy and the dipping sauces were delish!!! At the end our night, the waiter came over with a complimentary dessert- chocolate cake and ice cream which was so decadent and a perfect way to end the night ...

Made reservations online an hour before dining on a Thursday. We showed up and were immediately sat. I will say the host wasn't sure which table to bring us to and shortly after sitting down I found grains of rice on the table. This table was not cleaned... So we ordered wine! We were celebrating! One glass of each of the 2 pinot noirs on the menu. One of the glasses was dirty and the wine smelled old...so we asked for it to be replaced with a freshly opened bottle...ahhh did it taste good. Ok, on to food 🍲 Ordered the French onion soup. Tasted fine but the top was all mushy. Could have been in the melter longer. The portion size was a bit on the lower side as well, especially for the cost $ Ordered the caprese salad. It was good overall. I think they refrigerate their tomatoes which changes the texture. Ordered the steak, arugula and garlic fries. Steak was good. Arugula needed a bit of life put into it, ok maybe a lot. Fries had raw garlic (usually its a little sautéed or something) Not a date night item. I would say overall, our server did a great job. The food needed improvement. The wine glasses need polishing (could see obvious lip marks on the dirty glass we first received) We may or may not try this place again...possibly during busier hours?? What we received for the price paid, I would say it was not equivalent.

Great location. Near the airport. Great looking restaurant with a wide range of cocktails, beer and wine selection. A spot definitely that can accommodate larger groups. The food unfortunately didn’t live up to the rest of the restaurant. The food looked delicious but the 908 burger was flavorless and the poke bowl was quite dry. Nothing special about the food. For the price of things, the food was not worth it. However has a great atmosphere for drinks and apps.

Quickly seated and immediately engaged, the attentive staff and server set the time for a fantastic experience for my small family of three. We ordered an Old Fashion & Laphroaig for the adults and a cranberry juice for my daughter and all the drinks arrived shortly thereafter. Following a few recommendations, we settled on the Salmon and Double Cut Pork Chop entrees along with a larger dinner salad with the addition of grilled shrimp. We chatted for what seemed like a few moments and were rewarded with three exceptional dinners that immediately had our mouths watering! The salmon, pork chops, and shrimp were cooked to perfection while the salad was prepared with fresh & crisp ingredients. A Friday feast that did it's job in melting the worries of the long week away in no time.

This place was so good! Clean, relaxing, and the staff were super friendly. I ordered the Knife and Fork Burger and it was AMAZING!! We also ordered blood orange margaritas and I wanted to get like three more, but I was driving so I had to stick to the one! If you are thinking about this place, go and give it a shot. I doubt you will be disappointed!
