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.
