Food was delicious! Would come back for sure.

Heads up: they stop taking names at checkin about and hour and half before closing…I saw a bunch of people get turned away for that so be sure to get there early.

The view: beautiful and vast of the ocean and rollerbladers down on the sidewalk

They were able to make me a mocktail Bloody Mary and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. I had the burger w all vegan toppings and it was so good.

We were visiting my sister and it was a fun place, highly rec.

Wedding food that was actually, truly delicious! The citrus-y, spicy flavor of the so very tender steak was perfection!

They are VERY understaffed. It took 1.5 hours to get our food and it came out one at a time. I was the last person to get my food and everyone else was done. The food though was amazing.

We absolutely love this place. We sometimes park near the bottom of this road to ride bikes or jog, and you can see the yellow umbrellas from the boardwalk. It has been on our radar for some time. Early Saturday morning, we finally made it there. The view is stunning from any of the tables. There was a 20 min wait to be right at the edge, but we took a table by the fountain and still had an amazing ocean view. The fountain is a work of modern art with water finding its way out of the twisted metal sculpture in a peaceful, yet industrial, way. My wife got the large bloody mary which came with 4 big pieces of bacon and was well-crafted and delicious. I had the blueberry whiskey and it was a little sweet for me, but I usually opt for whiskey and soda water, so I'm sure it's really good to most people, just not me. She got the Smoked Salmon Benedict, which was beautifully presented and tasty as well. I had the Country Breakfast. It was hearty, and even though the ingredients were simple, you could taste the quality. It's worth mentioning that the potatoes were fried and crisped to perfection, and smashed whole potatoes. Very different and delicious take on the home fry staple of American food. Even the iced tea here seemed somehow elevated. This place definitely lived up to the hype. The museum it is connected to is well kept and worth a walk through as well.

The burger was amazing. I chose "roasted fingerling potatos" instead of french fries, which ended up being a great choice. Good views and your reciept from your meal gets you 50% off at the museum next door.

Views: 3.5-4/5
Food: 2.5/5
Cocktails 4.5/5

Biggest selling point: the view. Nice view. Not gorgeous. But nice.

The food is very bland. Like Broken Yolk level of bland. Our party had the french toast, breakfast burrito, country breakfast, & steak & eggs. Everything felt like it lacked flavor.

The cocktails were really good.

This is like one of those Instagram restaurants: it photographs well but lacks the depth.

I wouldn’t go back to eat here considering the price of everything & considering that there are plenty of great restaurants a 5-10 drive around the area.

$49 per person
+25% gratuity added onto your check.

Me and my wife = $125 for the breakfast + tax.

It is a "Buffet" style and worst buffet of its kind. The food is BLAND, absolutely 0 taste. The Pasta was bland, the salad was bland, the dang freaking yogurt was bland. I ate so much bland food that I thought my tongue was broken. My wife had 4 oysters, and they NEVER refilled the oysters the 1hr I was there. I had to wait 30 minutes for a buffet to refill their YOGURT.which they don't even make. It goes straight from the bucket to the plate. They had 1 plate available for all the guests. There was a fly on the cheese, Pasta was bland (literally felt like I just cooked pasta without any dressing and ate it raw), the salad was bland (salad with oil), THE YOGURT WAS BLAND (how is this possible?) oh let me not forget the VEGAN sausages and patties that were cold as ice that it turned into a cardboard box. Oh and the waiters don't know anything about anything. Imagine being at a "Buffet" and having to wait for a simple thing like Yogurt to get refilled. I should've just stopped by a McDonalds on the way home and save money and enjoy the food more. Never coming back here ever again.

The view was beautiful, service was good, but for us the actual food was just average. I ordered the Salmon Benedict and my husband the Classic Benedict.

We had a reunion with our 2nd cousin on the patio. The views, the food, the grapefruit fizz, and the service were all fantastic! We'll definitely come back next time we're in Long Beach.

Always a delight to eat at Claire's. I always enjoy the oceanside views and the always consistent and wonderful food. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The weather was chiller than expected, but that didn't stop is enjoying the sun.

I love their salmon!

Stopped in for lunch after walking along the beach trail. Wonderful views from inside and the terrace. We ordered the salmon sandwich and a " not a cob salad" both were great.

Eric, our waiter, was welcoming, had great suggestions, friendly and offered a warmed blanket for the chilly morning we were having. Our party had lemon ricotta pancakes, polenta and eggs, and the country breakfast. The potatoes were perfect, polenta fried and crispy. We will visit every trip. Walk next door to the museum. Such a beautiful building and the artistic atmosphere was very interesting. Will be even more enjoyable whether weather warms up.

Today I waited 3 hours for a burger that only had cheese. No flavor no works, no bacon, no fries they ran out and never came over and said anything. Burger was raw, but my waiter said it would take a long time for smother burger. I was very disappointed on the quality and service today.

A hidden gem next to the Long Beach Art Museum! Can't beat the view and the service was exceptional. They even gave my friend a free mimosa since we were celebrating her birthday.

After visiting the Long Beach Museum, we headed to this brunch spot. We were smart and put our names on the waitlist before we went to the museum, so when we got there, we were able to snag a table outside with a stunning ocean view. I tried the yummy avocado toast and a boozy coconut kombucha, and my bf had a mouthwatering chorizo burger and a super refreshing passion fruit lemonade. Sure, the prices were a bit high, but the food was worth it and made for a special brunch with a view that was just amazing.
