Great menu! Everything we tried was delicious. Love the cocktails too! Nice atmosphere. Upscale, trendy, but friendly LBC vibe.

Fun and lively atmosphere. Good food and good drinks made a fantastic night with family and friends.

I like the location and the staff is super nice. My favorite was the calamari (not pictured). The shrimp & lobster linguine was good. My broccolini needed just a little more char (not pictured). Ube cheesecake was so good. Yes I will visit again

Nice place but parking was a bit tricky because of the location. Food was delicious and our server was lovely. Place can get a little loud so keep in mind if you’re looking for a quieter dining experience. I look forward to returning and trying something else on the menu

The food and service here was outstanding. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this place seeing that it is in a strip mall. I had the Halibut with mashed potatoes and mixed root vegetables. It was delicious. I also had a great local Hazy IPA. It was my girlfriend's birthday and they were sweet enough to give her a free chocolate cake with ice cream desert and a lit candle. Nice touch! Our waitress was outstanding. My girlfriend had the steak and frites with Brazilian chimicurri and that would outstanding as well.

An upscale eatery with a wide range of menu prices from $20 sandwiches to $100 steaks and everything in-between. The brussel sprouts appetizer is excellent, though could go a bit stronger on the balsamic for my preferences, and is a massive portion well suited for 2-4 people (that I may have mistakenly ordered for just myself). At $14, highly recommend. The maple glazed pork chops are my usual go to, and they're excellent on their own, but today I noticed the Iberica Pork seasonal special and - while not their most expensive offering at *only* $61 - decided to treat myself. The portion size for the Iberica Pork was reasonable, but the temper and seasoning - just some mild, flaky salt - made it absolutely delectable with the perfect render on the fat and excellent crust. The chimichurri offered alongside it is practically sinful to actually use, as it easily overpowers the Iberica Pork, but was quite flavorful for use with the side of grilled broccolini, which was the only mild disappointment given how unseasoned it was. The other side, garlic fries, were perfectly cooked and seasoned with a nice amount of garlic. The Panna Cotta is excellent, though a bit confusing as it appears the coffee, caramel, and banana flavors were all blended together instead of being layered or separate. The English breakfast tea was, unfortunately, not actually available - but the early gray on offer instead hit the spot just the same and paired nicely with the desert. An excellent place for special occasions or more frequent visits if one can resist the temptation of their generally pricey specials.

Here for a business dinner. Great service. Great appetizers and my steak was excellent. Nice decor. Will definitely come back here when I return to Long Beach.

The 908 is an old fave down in Long Beach at thr Long Beach Exchange - LBX. Met up there with an old friend for lunch recently, and it did not disappoint. The poke bowl was light and refreshing, and sitting on the patio, the weather was perfect. Great also for after work drinks. I actually have never been for dinner, as I usually go for lunch and sit on the patio! Whatever your choice is, enjoy!

A fantastic restaurant with a wide variety of food options. I ordered the braised short rib, and it was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was excellent; our server was both friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The atmosphere is vibrant, with the choice of cozy indoor seating or a pleasant outdoor patio. The menu offers something for everyone, including fish, shrimp, salads, and various meat dishes. Highly recommended!

The 908 in Long Beach totally hit the spot. It has that rare combo of clean, elevated food with a chill, modern vibe that makes you want to stay a while. I started with the Caesar salad and added grilled chicken—super crisp romaine, fresh shaved parm, and a house-made dressing that actually had flavor (not the watery stuff). The chicken was grilled just right—juicy, clean, no grease. Simple and perfect. The Thai Curry Sea Bass was the star of the night. The fish was buttery soft, and the curry had just the right amount of warmth without being heavy. Loved the fresh veggies and the light rice on the side. It was flavorful but still felt light—like the kind of dish you feel good eating. Ended the night with the berry cobbler and ice cream and oh my god, it was SO good. Tart, sweet, warm berries with a golden, buttery topping and melty vanilla ice cream. I don’t even normally go for dessert, but this was 100% worth it. The whole place has this relaxed, welcoming energy. Everyone on the team was so friendly and kind—just really good people. It’s modern without being cold, buzzy without being loud. Honestly, it’s one of those places you instantly want to come back to. Already planning a return trip for brunch.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars for this place! Our server, Tu was amazing and very patient in helping us make a decision on drinks, apps and the main course. Drinks were very well made and the atmosphere is vibrant! Definitely making this a regular stop.

Been here twice now for happy hour. Drinks are goods and the appetizers are even better. My team really liked the calamari, poke on crispy rice, and the Brussels sprouts! We definitely look forward to coming back! It’s spacious and great for groups.

You rarely see a restaurant have such unique menu offerings, good food, great staff, and comparable value. The 908 has all of the above. The food was spectacular, not a bad thing about it. We were seated immediately, and the staff was responsive, friendly, and professional. Only good things to say!

Stayed at a hotel within walking distance and wasn't sure what sounded good for dinner. This place has a great menu for indecisive folks, with classic dishes and fresh recipes. I had the steak salad, which was fantastic, and my coworker had a burger, which he said was delicious. Beer selection is great, service is fast friendly, and professional. Highly recommend.

Best Happy Hour!! They make some of the best drinks, but if your like me and always on a budget they can be a little pricy. However, Happy Hour here is amazing. From the drinks to the food, you will NOT be disappointed. So next time you need a girls spot to drink and eat a little something this is the perfect place. Also on the weekends right outside in the courtyard they have a famers market with a DJ playing great music and you can walk around with your drink. ENJOY! Perfect daytime spot!

Good food and unique creative takes on good old comfort dishes. We had a work lunch during the week and the dishes were affordable. I had the prime rib sandwich and the quality of the meat was great. What caught me off guard was the amount of horseradish spread inside the bread. It hit me like a brick… my nostrils open up instantly and my brain went haywire. If you order the sandwich, ask for the horseradish on the side so you can spread it yourself and not be caught off guard. The service was excellent, the restaurant itself was very modern, and the ambience was very comfortable.

Great crispy Brussels sprouts, slightly sweet with bacon, and I loved the bleu cheese on it so much!they must have been out of wine/ champagne glasses for my drink. It was happy hour during the week, not very busy. I’m an out of towner but would probably go again next time and try their sandwiches

Great place to have dinner with friends or family - a variety of options on the menu (with some very unique dishes like the pho burger) and always amazing service from their staff. A little bit on the pricier side but they also have a happy hour on weekdays from 3-6pm for $4 off appetizers and $2 off of draft beer! Their outdoor patio is always busy and it looks like a great place to host an event. We tried their lobster roll, calamari, and steamed mussels this time. Their lobster roll was pretty small and had too much butter for my taste (it was dripping the whole time 😅) but the calamari and mussels were tasty as always!

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Parking: 3/5 Family friendly: 4/5 Stroller friendly: 2/5 Came here for a company party first week of December. Most things went very smooth until about 6pm when the dinner rush hit. I think our waitress was given way more sections than she could handle on her own because I could see her physically running. She handled everything pretty well, i might add. Food here is good for what you pay for. Not that it's a bad thing, but i feel the food is just slightly over priced for what is given. $125 for a tomahawk chop +2 sides and two of our sides came out waaaaaay after the steak did because our waitress was running around. $25 for 4 inches of roasted bone marrow split in half. Drinks were phenomenal however. I would def come back for the drinks.

We had food delivered due to my surgery. We ordered the double pork chop and the salmon. The pork chop was the bomb. It was fantastic. The salmon was overcooked and a bit salty. I was a bit disappointed since I usually have great food from The 908.

We went as a party of 3 on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was very busy considering it was a Tuesday evening. We found the service from our waiter was good, he seemed knowledgeable and checked often on is to ensure we had a good experience. The service was excellent but we found the food was off average quality. We had the sea bass and the fried chicken. We found the fried chicken to be driving in way too much gravy and we couldn't really taste the flavor of the chicken. The fish was average tasting and was way overpriced. We also found the fried chicken to be overpriced. We wouldn't return there because we found the food to be out of touch with the prices. We also had two appetizers being the meatballs and calamari. The prices were high and again the taste did not match the prices. The noisy atmosphere was good for a celebration or group party but if the quality and price of the food are what matter most to you then I would suggest trying another restaurant.
