    After arriving from LAX, we stopped at this nearby place for food. It took 10 mins to even be acknowledged and seated. The menu was nothing like the photos and had about 5 options that were completely overpriced. We ended up ordering, then 10 mins later, we were informed they didn’t have one of the 5 options(pot roast). It ended up taking 40 mins for our food, which was small portions and very average tasting. Also nothing about it was European as suggested, just basic american food. The calamari was good tho and the live music, which salvaged a meal with slow service and overpriced food.

    This was my first time here, my family brought my mother and I here for dinner. It really was a treat. The wine was great, food was delicious, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Although dining is as traditional as it normally is, they made the most of it. I had the Ahi Tuna Steak and my mom had the Ribeye. I was most excited to learn that they have homemade pasta. That was definitely something I had to try and I'm so glad that I did. It was so yummy!

    This was my first time coming & it me of a dinner spot that I went to in the 70s as a kid. Dim lighting, low ceiling in the bar area that smelled of a million spilled drinks & old men that all know one another & have probably been coming since the 70s. Now, the food: The steak was really good. Perfectly medium rare & tender. The garlic mashed potatoes were good & the service was great. Reasonably priced as well.

    We've been going there for over 20 years and the food is still very good and reasonably priced. Service is good and a fun atmosphere with live entertainment on at least Saturdays. They went through a whole remodeling phase in 2021, so it's kind of different now but there's the same sports memorabilia all over. Phil is a Great guy...please support the location! Nice sized parking lot too.

    Impromptu find and walked into the place asking if they did walk-ins. Was greeted with a warm welcome by several staff and sat down instantly. Food was aweeeesome and there was even live music! When the bread came out, it was extremely soft, warm, & fresh. Trisha was our waitress for the outside patio (amazing service btw). Definitely a consideration for next time when we're out nearby.

    First-rate service by lovely ladies at the bar and the dining room. Excellent martinis and chicken dishes. We did notice that they switched to paper napkins instead of cloth but not big deal. The place is still a must if you are in Long Beach.

    I just had a fabulous rib eye steak. Aged to perfection. Great service. I love the old-school atmosphere. A classy restuarant. UPDATE: just ate there again. Slow service and mistakes were made. Food was good but had to sit in the bar, even though it was 6:30 on a weeknight. Not a great experience this time.

    This was my first time trying Jambalaya and the Cajun was delicious! I work at Five Guy’s and I never knew fry seasoning would work on this but it hit all the right taste buds :)

    This is the first and last time I go to dinner in this place. I waited an hour to have a (good) steak, to be honest. I asked for chips and bread I received boiled potatoes (UNPEELED, which I hate), and 3 little slice of industrial bread, something that couldn't be poorer than that. I asked for a beer when I sat down, when the plate with the steak was brought to me, they immediately asked me if everything was okay before I could even taste the menu. After that no one showed up and I even had to wait to pay I wanted to drink another beer to finish the steak: it wasn't possible, because no one asked me.... such poor service rarely I found it. I left a tip anyway, because these are poor people....

    The Staff there are so friendly. Customer Service is excellent. Communication amongst Staff is superb. Get there early for live music both Friday and Saturday. Reservations is highly suggested.

    Went for our anniversary, had a cocktail before dinner and they were skillfully put together. Had dinner in the dining room good food and great service. Our server was Sophia and she was great.

    Lovely place to gather anytime. Everybody knows your name but even when they didn't it was still a "Cheers" atmosphere. The menu often includes specialty pies and deserts. Live music and dancing are always the fare!

    What a fun night! Awesome service and even met Phil in person! The Bad Honeys book club forever emblazoned on the wall ❤️

    I love this unassuming spot. The food is great quality! The wine is a tasty compliment! The blackened salmon is one of my favorites. It's no doubt Scottish salmon. We always eat in the indoor bar area or the outside patio. There are several TVs in the bar without sound so you can watch and still have a conversation. Bar area is updated. Lights are pleasantly low. I think the indoor restaurant seating is open Thursday through the weekend. Halibut is good. Husband loves the steak! Delicious calamari strips too. If you're looking for a low key spot check them out.

    They are amazing light setting in inside the restaurant and foods was very very tasty.

    Great vibe! Had a little band playing great music. Dinner was fantastic and service was great! Great place for dates, gathering with friends, or even just by yourself as everyone is friendly.

    Wonderful food, service, drinks, and atmosphere for our large party of 30! We'll definitely be back. Great a/c too!!

    Glad this local place was open on a Monday to celebrate a birthday dinner. The Rack of Lamb was generous, reasonably priced, and delicious. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and attentive. Next time I won't bother ordering the antipasto plate as the selection had too much vinegar for my taste. I'll be back even with the decor being 1960s dated and slightly worn. Perhaps that was what made it unique and charming in its own way.

    This restaurant provides wonderful service and delicious food. One of the best restaurant ever. The meals served quickly and the prices are inexpensive. Recommended.

    We are making Phil Trani's our place for pre Thanksgiving Dinner. I cook for three days for turkey day. We enjoy the quiet, relaxed simple fancy atmosphere that we find here. Take as long as we want to visit. Like the old term says: "Nice Dinner House"

  • 5/5 Jess W. 2 years ago on Google
    Our party of 5 arrived early for dinner reservations and the staff graciously served us early. Beautiful bar if you'd like to wait there. All of the dishes were perfectly plated and delicious- from crispy calamari to stuffed chicken and tender pasta. Save room for dessert if you can!

    Food was phenomenal. I had the most tender baseball steak husband had the lemon chicken and it was big and quality portions, I had take out box. Our host were amazing and very attentive. So thankful for them.

    The beef was delicious, as was the salmon. I enjoy the HAAA (Harbor Applicant Attorney Association) meetings at this location. Nice low key spot with a good vibe

    Newly Remodeled inside and it's beautiful!!! No more carpet, it's now hard wood floors... New bar-top of white marble...bar is much brighter, you can now see from one end to the other...all the sports memorabilia is still on the walls... Sat at the bar...could hear the owner behind me talking sports...
