    This is the third time I've eaten here in the last few months and it was outstanding, as usual! While we didn't love where they seated us (even though we had made reservations over a month in advance - but now I know what to ask for in the reservation), the food and service were great. The roasted beet hummus, muttabal and fresh-from- the-oven pitas were probably our favorites, but everything was great. Last time I came here, I ordered the roasted beets salad with grilled salmon (also amazing). We also tried two desserts, the knafeh and osmalieh ice cream, both were excellent...and they went great together! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

    I love Nettuno! I always loved the experience of coming to the Sky Room but could not get a reservation for awhile, heard good things about Nettuno so decided to give it a try! I was not disappointed! Everything was amazing. We had the burrata appetizer, my SO had the osso bucco and I had the artichoke ravioli. Food was excellent! Also, we had to have the Tiramisu, and it totally lived up to the hype. Great ambience, great service. Some of my favorite restaurants are in Long Beach so there is a lot of competition, this restaurant holds up, we will be back.

    Amazing food and great service Bridgett! This is my 2nd time dining at Telefèric!! Excellent service, very attentive and the quality of food is great. Paella, Jamon, Wellington, kebabs, and shrimp were incredible. If you have room for dessert, please try the cookie in a skillet and churros. I will be returning for a night of great food and service.

    This was our first time at the Thai District. We had reservations for an early dinner upstairs; noise level was fine. The food was wonderful !! Fresh rolls for appetizers, followed by, chicken drunken noodles, chicken yellow curry and pork pineapple curry. For dessert, we went with the Apple Crisp; so delicious. We definitely will be back.
