    Lovely view and nice atmosphere for brunch with a loved one. The service was wonderful and the food was fine, a bit pricey but it’s worth it for the view. They have alcoholic beverages as well as coffee and tea. Breakfast and lunch served all day and the menu is pretty small.

    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.

    This is a nice place and they have great view. The parking is about 1 one block away near 9th. The parking lot can get full and the wait can be long so come early. They don't have reservations for small parties. The French toast was delicious but I wish I also ordered potatoes.

    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!!

    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.

    Beautiful outdoor location overlooking the marina, the Queen Mary. And it is next door to the art museum of Long Beach. Very good afternoon or late morning adventure. Menu is excellent, several brunch items. Drinks were well served, and hit the spot sitting under umbrellas under the sun.

    Great brunch location right on the water in a beautiful corner of Long Beach. Food was delicious and they have a nice selection of food. The service was very good. Make sure to book early. It gets very busy. Parking is a challenge.

    Great brunch spot! Also no long wait, even on a Sunday. And you can't beat the view. I liked the food, but the drinks were great!

    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.

    Beautiful oceanside views and vibes. Friendly waitstaff. Nice and placid brunch/lunch menu that should please most museum goers. Theyve got your avocado toast, your salad, polenta, pancakes etc. Drinks looked pretty lit, tho I didn't get any. I got the lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote and my friend got the polenta. Both were very good. Possibly the best polenta I've had.

    Nice place, good food, and all outside seating with view over the ocean. The receipt gets you 50% off the $12 admission to the museum, but we didnt have time to check it out.

    This restaurant is the epitome of the idea of a restaurant cafe by the ocean, and the quality of the food only adds to the experience. It is a delightful location. It might be wise to bring a jacket; the breeze can be chilly depending on time of day and of year. I loved the potatoes that were a side to some of the entrees; they were basically whole potatoes but cooked to perfection and unreasonably tasty. The creme brulee French toast was among the better implementations of French toast I've had at a restaurant. The bread was thick and just the right amount of moist. There is the hint of that creme brulee flavor to satisfy the craving. And the avocado toast: they are generous with the avocado, and it's not so seasoned that you lose the flavor of the avocado. To my taste, exactly right. All in all, a great Sunday morning beachside brunch location and highly recommended.

    All the positive vibes @ Claire's At the Museum! I have only tried items from the brunch menu and they were all wonderful. As a result I haven't brought myself to order anything else upon return visits hahaa. The service has always been friendly, though typically slow throughout a meal. Excellent breakfast cuisine and the ocean front view speaks for itself! Thank you Claire's At the Museum!

    Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommended but please be patient with parking.

  • 4/5 Michael Oden & Alina U. 6 months ago on Google
    My friend brought me here for Sunday brunch. We had to wait for one hour before we were seated. We couldn't ask for a more perfect day. The food was great, and the service was slow but the staff was very nice. Great ambiance.

  • 5/5 Karen S. 4 months ago on Google
    Delicious food and drinks. It's a great place on a sunny day to enjoy the view ⛱️. Get there when they open, and you will get a great table. They accept reservations for groups. There is a 1 1/2 hour limit for your table.

  • 4/5 Donald H. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is really special, however, the ambiance was lacking because it was a cool Easter Sunday and we were seated outside. Also, for the price, I would have enjoyed a more refined wait staff. The young man that served us could have just come from Bob's Big Boy. Nice enough but a little rough around the edges.

    Beautiful views while eating amazing food. I got smoked salmon benedict. The eggs were perfectly poached and the English muffin was toasted just right. The smoked salmon was divine and I loved the hollandaise sauce. I always order it on the side in case I don't like it :) My husband got a burger that was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The fruit was fresh and the burger was yummy - I snuck a bite. Great service and a wonderful view made for a perfect brunch date.

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