Uncommon Sense
We went here for date night on a Friday. It was absolutely delightful! The servers were entertaining and friendly and very very attentive. The food was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! SO TASTY! I HIGHLY recommend the flatbread of your choice. We got the shrimp one and the meat lovers and both were AMAZING!! WE also had the lemon pepper chicken wings (dry and wet)… both were great but wet was my favorite. Then on top of all the ambiance and good service and food, there was a live band. Really really nice!!! Get on over to Risü… you won’t regret it!

Risü [risu = ‘smile’ in latin] is a hidden neighborhood gem located on the beautiful Rainbow bridge right by to the LB Convention Center. With a spacious patio overlooking the LED bridge and a pristinely kept rose garden, Risü is a great spot for parties, dates, families, and solo adventurers alike. The restaurant is casual, modern, and suave, has good bar selections – check out their tequilas- and even has live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The staff is skillful and personable, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, bartenders Merredith, Samantha, Mayce, and Kevin make great cocktails. The kitchen is small but mighty, if it’s super busy, expect some wait time for your food. American-style tapas, salads, tacos, sliders, and flat breads. I enjoy pretty much everything on the menu, spicy shrimp appetizer, a very unique salmon wrap, delish chicken wings, healthy salads, and out of the flat breads, the short rib wins my vote. Risü is dog friendly (ask about their pup dish), has dedicated garage parking, and is open daily at 11am. Don’t miss out on their happy hours 🙂

Excellent location for nearby attractions and venues. Not a lot of indoor seating and outside was a little chilly. Bring a jacket. Come early for a pre-show bite or cocktail. Service was with a smile but slow. Food from the offbeat menu was worth it.

Terrible experience. We arrived at 6 pm Thursday night to go to a show across the street. The waitress came and took our order and only returned after we requested her 45 minutes later to get more drinks. At that point we had only gotten 2 of our items of food we ordered. An hour and 20 minutes into our order we only received about 1/2 our order. They were obviously understaffed both in the kitchen and on the floor. The food that came out was good but the speed of the kitchen was beyond slow. We will not be back when we return to attend the Distinguished Speaker Series again next month. Extremely disappointing. They need to get their kitchen straightened out.

I came in on a monday, right when happy hour started and didn’t leave until late in the evening! The atmosphere here is great and the drinks are DELICIOUS. Andres was able to provide us with great service and good drinks. He really made the experience a 10/10. I will definitely be coming back and hoping he is there

Cesar was the absolute best! He was such a vibe and showed me and my girlies the best time without sacrificing professionalism. Excellent customer service! He was EVERYTHING!

Great place to chill after your work day (or in my case my convention day). Definitely get reservations if you have a group. I sat at the bar and it was awesome. Alyssa serves up a great martini .
Super friendly wait staff, great drinks, and tasty tapas. I’ll definitely be back here when I’m in town again!

Food was fantastic, all four of us loved our happy hour meals. Only gripe was slow service for a Monday night due to them being short staffed with only one cook and server. Despite this, quality of the food was not compromised. We’ll come back!

We wanted a quick lunch and we found this restaurant right next to the Convention Center in Long Beach. We ordered their bacon salad and added chicken in it. We also ordered the tuna nachos. Our orders were served to us fast but most importantly, the food was delicious, the quality was great and the service was excellent!

New American spot in Long Beach. For takeout for dinner on a Friday evening with three other friends and split a few dishes. We had the brussel sprouts with bacon on the side per our request, fries, shrimp tacos (3 to an order), mushroom flatbread, and a salad. Portions were on the smaller side so finished all of the food. The flatbread was good to share and the fries were thin cut. The shrimp tacos came with blue corn tortillas; we got that since they were out of the short rib tacos that night. They had live music playing which was cool. There’s underground garage parking.
