i want to take my girl out to eat for v-day but i really dont know any good restaurant out there. im not from LB either, so i am kinda bummed! any good ideas to help me out? i may consider oc area too.

adrians_s13 · 02-10-2010, 02:56 AM

what's your budget? Are you looking for something like fine dining, or any good restaurant?

nissan240 · 02-10-2010, 03:01 AM

both fine dining and good restaurant. i really have no budget as long its not 100 dollars for desert. i am willing to spend up to about $250-350ish

adrians_s13 · 02-10-2010, 03:14 AM

well, theres tons of fine dining in LBC..

I recommend Skyroom in Long Beach... hella romantic The Sky Room - Long Beach, California

or for a real nice 5+ course meal, theres Delius on cherry ave.

but good luck finding reservations ANYWHERE... its already wednesday

I don't think it's such a great idea to splurge on anything expensive on Valentine's
(or almost any other holiday event).
Good restaurants usually make stuff in bulk & don't do their best that day.
service isn't that great as restaurants are super-crowded.

Just hit the local Sizzler & call it a night imo.
Take the girl out at a nicer spot another day.

Honestly I've yet to have a good meal in Long Beach.
There's actually a lot of decent Japanese places in close-by Torrance.
If you like Izakayas, Musha is fairly solid.
The concept is also more refreshing than some generic corny candle-light dinner.

in long beach...my favorite place to eat is believe it or not at yard house...however...if you are going to impress....there is only one place in OC.

ORANGE HILL

2 people should cost around 130 ish. (could already be booked...better start calling!)

widebodyseven · 02-10-2010, 10:07 AM

^^^
That looks like a nice place

fckillerbee · 02-10-2010, 10:10 AM

my wife and I look for nice places to eat.....orange hill "looks" amazing...the drive there is beautiful....free valet.....very nice resteraunt...if you pay more than that for a meal...you are getting ripped for sure. If you want quiet romantic....I eat at a italian place in orange called

RENATA'S.

fckillerbee · 02-10-2010, 01:19 PM

I dont eat seafood...but I love steak, and I can honestly tell you...their crab cakes are amazing...and I hate fucking crab cakes lol....sounds like you should be doing a benihana thing! lol....they have chicken.

The Island · 02-10-2010, 01:23 PM

i went to orange hill last year with my girl for VDay and took my GS dumped on 19s. i didn't have a choice but to valet my car...the dude scraped my bumper BAD -_-. the food was "aight" and the portions were small, but you don't really go to orange hill for the food, you go for the view. the view was legit.

1five10 · 02-10-2010, 01:48 PM

Check out Sir Winston's on the Queen Mary....Strolling on the deck after dinner would guarantee you some booty.....lol

Love this place!

But like someone else mentioned, finding a place now is going to be tough.

Last year I went to Sevilla in LB with reservations set on the day of valentines day. Its a Spanish restaurant that had flamenco dancing.

wylin · 02-10-2010, 07:59 PM

wingstop or cafe bixby neither will be crowded
