Reviews
The French Onion soup was delicious – warm, melting cheese, bread soaked in completely…it was excellent! It was also quite heavy so I’m glad that we ordered only one to share. The fish and chips was surprisingly good. The haddock fillet was cooked to perfection and the breading was light but crispy. The tartar sauce with it was very very good. They didn’t provide any malt vinegar. The fries were thin and crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside which we liked. The crispy chicken sandwich was also very good. The chicken, again, had a thin but crispy breading that was beaded with black pepper, chili and I guess, some peanut powder as per the menu. It was lovely to eat. The sandwich was filled with kimchi sauce, cabbage and Korean pickles to give it an Asian zing. The truffle fries were delicious but I would have liked a little more truffle oil.
The service was mediocre. The server was ok. They would also disappear right around the time we needed something. But outside of that, the food was good and I recommend this place for their food.
1: They were able to seat me before my friends arrived which was nice and not expected.
2: I had the Huevos Rancheros which tasted great and were also presented really nicely. One of my friends has dietary restrictions and they were able to accommodate. Another friend had the Tri-Tip Hash and loved it.
3: For dessert we shared the basque cheesecake with figs and also a panna cotta with pineapple and dragon fruit. Both amazing but the panna cotta was my all-time favorite. It was the perfect tropical flavor combo of the panna cotta with a bit of a coconut flavor, the fresh fruit and the passionfruit ice cream on top. If this sounds slightly interesting to you, you have to try it. It also looks beautiful and I now wish I had taken a photo.
4. Restaurant has nice ambiance inside and outside.
5. The staff was very friendly and we did not feel rushed.
Now to the food….I was not impressed and it didn’t live up to the hype of the reviews. First dish: Mac & Shrooms, I thought this was going to be great because I love mushrooms…well the taste was bland and it had a watery texture (not creamy at all). Second: crab cakes, they were sweet and there was a lot of bread filling, it was NOT crab forward at all. The sauce under the crab cakes tasted sweet as well. Did not like the taste. The last of my order was the truffle fries that was fried in duck fat, the concept was on the menu looked good, but the fries were shoestring fries from out of a bag, not housemade. The fries were not hot and was fried very hard. The cheese on top was a little over powering.
My cousin ordered the strawberry margaritas (she said it was good) and the fish and chips. She said the fish tasted okay and that the fish crust was not crunchy enough and kind of soggy. She chose to take the remainder home to put in air fryer just a little longer.
Spent $119 (which is not bad, if the food was great/good) I only ate one crab cake, a couple of fries and a couple of spoons of the mac and shrooms. The guy taking our plates couldn’t believe I didn’t want a to go box. The atmosphere and cocktails was nice. The next time I’m in Long Beach, I may try their happy hour, but I’m good on the food.
The food is okay, nothing extraordinary and the portions are very small. There are no refills for sodas and juices, nor is there any complimentary bread.
There was no line at the reception, there were several empty tables and the receptionist took more than 15 minutes to seat us at a table (I thought it was strange). The waiter seemed to be overwhelmed, having to serve 3 tables and putting on a show with the smoke from one of the dishes that took over the entire restaurant.
I thought it was expensive and overrated.
My server, Armando, was warm, friendly, and efficient, offering thoughtful and helpful recommendations from the menu. The restaurant’s sommelier and manager also went above and beyond, providing a first-class wine tasting experience that paired beautifully with my meal.
I highly recommend visiting Saint & Second for any occasion. The ambiance is inviting, the food is outstanding, and the service is truly exceptional. Without a doubt, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Long Beach. When you go, be sure to ask for Armando and Diana—you won’t be disappointed.
