    We visited The Ordinarie for a Happy Hour where we sat at the bar. We love the interior architecture, it looks like quality construction/design. We ordered a myriad of food and it was all very tasty. French dip, cauliflower, vegetables all very good. There is a bartender named Michelle that really knows her stuff and we appreciate it when she makes us cocktails with attention to detail. We definitely enjoyed the atmosphere and food.

    Love this place! The decorations are so amazing to look at, especially during the holiday time. Staff is always nice and the food is some of the best in Long Beach! Sometimes there is jazz music on the weekends, which you can enjoy with their great drinks.

    Great spot for food and drinks with a dog-friendly patio. Believe the hype - those chicken pot pie bites are amazing! Friendly service and live music make the vibe even more enjoyable.

    Dinner at The Ordinarie ... An eclectic mix of Christmas decorations and music... Loud, fun atmosphere with a lot of friend groups gathered to celebrate the holidays... Great food, drinks and service... Oh yeah and had a blast.

    Beautiful place for brunch, excellent food, really wonderful servers (Thank you Lauren!), good prices, and lovely patio! The owner even came out to say "hi" and chatted a bit. Thank you Christy (Christopher)!!

    I love this place. Eclectic decor and great service. Perfect for lunch or a night with friends. If this is your first time, you HAVE to get the Chicken Pot Pie Bites. They are fantastic!

    Miracle x The Ordinarie Holiday Pop-Up! They are pretty much out of reservations, but you may be able to do a walk-in earlier in the day to grab a table. It's hyper festive inside with plenty of Christmas lights and decor galore. Definitely will get your holiday spirit lit up! They have plenty of holiday cocktails that are fun to try out with various unique mugs. The Jolly Koala was my favorite because of the strong bourbon pour paired with a wine reduction. For food, definitely get the Mac & Cheese for a starter! Five cheese blend with either bacon or short rib on top. Very delish! The Short Rib French Dip was really good too. Pretty classic and hits the spot. Burgers are prob best deal though. They make them well here! Overall, a fun pop-up with good cocktails and food! Great for a group event or a date.

    First time here. Surprisingly short list of menu and almost walked out after seated. Ordered from the short list but dang it tastes good! Glad I stayed. Just searched for brunch restaurant nearby in Google map. Only wish there were more food choices but luckily turned out great.

    We ventured way back to the 17th century to a hidden American Tavern in downtown Long Beach. Venturing back to a place that delivered excellent hospitality, was welcoming and inviting for guest of all abilities, food that engulfed your senses and a cocktail and spirits list that captured the old soul you once had all in a time period setting. You may have to leave your horses back at home but your furry little pups, friends and family are welcome to embark on a journey to The Ordinare. The date was April 13th 2022 before we stepped into a time capsule Tavern and instantly transported to a time between the 17th-18th century. This day I opted to leave my bright orange wheelchair at home and mosey around for the day. The Tavern was dimly lit to set the tone and transport you back in time. The sound from a live jazz band played in the background . You could still hear the sound of the bartender shaking cocktails and the distant chatter that filled the room as people talked, drank and dined. So many delectable smells tickeled at your senses almost as though it was luring you to take a peak at the food passing by. You almost get lost in thought as you looked around the Tavern at the pictures on the wall and your senses stimulated. One could easily forget what Era you were in. Marina would be our server for the evening that would guide us through the menu and take us on a food journey back in time. We started our evening with a personalized suggestion from both Marina and The Ordinare. My partner and I split a small plate of the chicken pot pie bites and grilled chicken wings. For my first drink I opted for one of their featured drinks, a Ginny Schumaher and my partner enjoyed a stout from Common Space Brewing. Our food was hot , aesthetically pleasing to the eye and smelled delicious. I spooned out one of the chicken pot pie bites and coated it in the gravy from the bottom of its dish. Light flakey crust and a delicious pot pie filling had me wanting more. This dish truly was unique, flavorful, rich and made for a hearty meal. I have personally never had grilled chicken wings and now that I tasted them I simply can't get them out of my head. The wings were a dry rub with a delicious spicy kick but not over powering. They delivered the perfect balance of crispy skin and juicy meat, I can see why they are a personal favorite for Marina. Our starters paired so well with our drinks that evening and we were only just beginning. My main corse consisted of Mac and cheese and grilled asparagus from the starter menu and my partner opted for the French dip sandwich. This was not your mommas Mac n cheese. My Mac n cheese did not lack in the cheese department, was hot and topped off with goldfish crackers for that perfect crunch in each bite. For an extra cost you are able to top your dish off with bacon or short ribs but I chose to nibble off my partners french dip instead . If your like me no meal is complete without a delicious side vegetable and the asparagus exceeded my expectations. Maybe it was the pea mint puree that gave this dish and extra oomph but i couldn't get enough of it. A second personalized recommendation from The Ordinare definitely knocked our dinner out of the park with their short rib French dip. I have never had such a flavorful French dip, and it wasn't even fatty and plated excellent. Everything was phenomenal from start to finish. To finish your night out I highly recommend taking time to also enjoy one of their signature cocktails. I was too stuffed to eat dessert so my Pick Me Up cocktail was a great substitute. It was not too sweet and just the perfect amount of bitter, which made for a refreshing end. I also would suggest trying the Widow's Kiss that packs a boozy punch. After such an amazing dinner ending the night with cocktails that yet again satisfied my senses with being aesthetically pleasing, smelled amazing and tasted great was a perfect way to bid farewell until next time.

    A classy little joint, and Michelle was a wonderful bartender and a great sport about mixing me up some tasty mocktails [I'm in recovery]. Sunday Jazz was a welcome treat, and they actually have 2 groups back-to-back, which costs more money, but proves that they care about keeping variety in entertainment. Thanks, again!

    Simply some of the best food and cocktails in Long Beach. Live music almost every night, but it's never overwhelming. Great atmosphere. In December make sure to go to the Christmas festivities.

    This bar had a super cozy vibe to it. The inside was a lot of wood and photos like a nice pub. The servers were super nice. The drink I had I didn't love but that wasn't anyone's fault. The menu wasn't super vegetarian friendly but I wasn't really planning to eat here anyways. I got a side of fries and they were fine.

    My friends and I dined here for dinner, and it was a pretty great experience. Orders: Peachy Keen - great peach flavor and not too strong on the alcohol flavor. Definitely refreshing after a long day of work :) Chicken Pot Pie Bites - the best thing was this appetizer. I love the "gravy" it comes with and how flaky the crust is Ordinarie Fries - standard fries with short rib meat. The meat was dry and so were the fries Ordinarie Burger - ordinary burger for sure but the ranch they served with the fries were honestly the best. The ranch is dill forward and went well with the fries Short Rib - the rib was dry tbh, the brussel sprouts it came with were great and the potato pave was crispy Branzino - worst dish I had here. They random bones were a turn off and there was a weird herb that they laid the fish on and it was so strong, it turned me off to eat the first more. I would say, overall, the experience was indeed, Ordinaire. I think I could get these food in other spots and will serve a better flavor and better price.

    We went for the Miracle pop up. It was a very cool atmosphere and the food was good and plentiful for the price, but we waited about 25 minutes for our drinks, which came when the food did. Our server was pleasant enough, but she kept disappearing. They were busy and that's understandable, but she could have been much, much more attentive.

    Went to their miracle pop up and the atmosphere was so fun. We went after lunch so it wasn't too busy which was perfect. Seat times are for 2 hours. And their specialty cocktails which were fun and their chicken pot pie bites appetizer was amazing. We also had their French dip and burger which were typical fare but cooked well. Overall a really fun experience!

    We had a nice dinner here with out of town family. We had the salmon, steak and sandwich meal. We had some dietary request which the restaurant had no problem accommodating. I had a medium rare steak with Madera sauce which was done perfectly. The salmon was over cooked and dry accordingly to family member who ordered it. The customer service was great and I appreciated the fact that we weren't rush and we could seat and visit. The drinks were ok.

    First time here, ever. Not sure why I have taken so long to finally make my way here. Reason to be here today? A dear friend having a farewell party. I ordered an Old Fashioned my lovely wife ordered a Gin Martini. Both drinks were good. We were a bit thrown off by the Martini glass but… yumm! We decided to split the French Dip and it is delicious. For whatever reason (LOL) my wife ordered it with a side order of….. salad… So for fun I asked for one french fry. The salad ended up being delicious. Annnnd, low and behold… I received one french fry on a plate with some ketchup!! THAT made my day and experience here just so much more enjoyable. Love it! We also ordered the chicken pot pies, another yummy small bite. We were sitting on the patio. I never made it inside. Next time, I will. Suzie our waitress and all the other staff that circled our table were lovely. If you’ve been to this fine establishment before, go again! Cheers

    Loved this place! Beautiful design and ambiance. Drinks were so unique to this place, and they were designed thoughtfully. They were strong as you can expect, looks like their shot measure is correct. Foods were beyond the expectations. Extremely delicious and high quality ingredients & mixtures. Will go back here for sure.

    love the ambiance of live music once again. Exquisite food and tasty cocktails 🍸coupled with a friendly staff. We'll be back next week for sure.

  • 5/5 Marina V. 1 year ago on Google
    We were here twice, the lunch was excellent- food amazing, I haven’t eat so tasty food for a long time at restaurants. Then we come back at the evening for fee cocktails, and they were so strong! Maybe it’s just for me but I saw how other girl also was shocked 😁 but my husband liked beer, so 5 ⭐️

    This is a fun place to eat anytime. They serve. Interesting dishes in a very homey and friendly atmosphere. At Christmas they decorate with many lights and call it The Miracle. My friend and I had a delicious duck con fit dinner. Very delicious and a special meal at Christmas time for us. We also had each of us one of their special Christmas cocktails. Creative and delicious!

    Old southern vibe outdated music was playing which sounded redneck like? Such a weird vibe for Long Beach. I spoke with the manager about the music. The service could have been better but at least the food looked good but lacked flavor. The salmon tasted fishy. Presentation was their strong point. Chicken and waffles was greasy but decent I heard it was the best thing they have there

    We went during the christmas festivities. The ambiance was so festive. The drinks were not as fun as I was hoping for. They were out of the fancy shot glasses (the only one we wanted to purchase). The food was amazing!!! Definitely need a reservation.
