The 20 Best Restaurants In Long Beach - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Olive & Rose is a peaceful slice of Palm Springs in the middle of Downtown Long Beach. This relaxed French-leaning bistro from the Heritage folks sits on the ground floor of a revamped mid-century motel, with tables gazing onto a courtyard pool and retro parasols. You’d never guess this was a hotel restaurant though, as it oozes the kind of easy charm found at a proper date night spot. Start with the artfully arranged amberjack crudo with little spheres of grape and cucumber, then split the steak frites with a medium-rare ribeye cap that melts like soft butter and a cute bowl of crispy fries. And maybe a sauve prickly pear and jasmine martini for dessert." - garrett snyder
