"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. It oozes the kind of easy charm found at a proper date night spot. Start with the artfully arranged amberjack crudo that has little spheres of grape and cucumber, then split the steak frites with a 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. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Garrett Snyder

"Chef Phillip Pretty and sister Lauren Pretty have opened their third Long Beach restaurant, Olive & Rose, named after Phillip’s daughters, as a follow-up to their Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant Heritage. Olive & Rose follows an approachable French bistro model, with starters like amberjack crudo, endive salad, and beef tartare followed by steak frites and black cod brandade. The midcentury modern space features walnut furniture, forest green banquettes, and lovely natural light for a welcome dose of polished California French cooking in Long Beach. — Matthew Kang, lead editor" - Eater Staff

"The sibling duo behind Long Beach tasting menu spot Heritage now has a second (more casual) restaurant nearby called Olive & Rose. Located inside a revamped historic motel, O&R operates as a daytime bagel shop where you can order sandwiches stacked with gravlax, avocado, or an ounce of caviar if you care to drop $100 on breakfast. After 5pm, the French-leaning dinner menu kicks in, with beef tartare, endive salad, and dry-aged steak frites." - sylvio martins

Service amazing. Food delicious. Nice ambiance- that hotel would be cute to stay at. Giving Lafayette in SD vibes, so maybe they should start hosting parties there. Definitely worth going to but just obviously expensive so not sure I would need to go back unless there was a fun event!

A perfect fine dining experience in Long Beach. Everything from the drinks and food, to the presentation and service, was immaculate. It is a small mid-century modern dining room in the former Century City Motel on 3rd Street in Long Beach, close to public parking. We enjoyed all the tastings, from the Crudo to the octopus to the bread with cultured butter, and the bass was also excellent. Another highlight was the Apple Tarte Tarin, which was divine with the Carmel and whipped cream. All the sauces and food tasted fresh and well-made. The prices are comparable to other date night and fine dining restaurants, so while high are expected and not out of the ordinary. There is also an outdoor seating area in the interior next to the pool, which is where the bathroom is (even the bathroom was kept very clean and we were pleased to see was also stocked with tampons). We would definitely go back and try some of the cocktails and mussels.

The food is amazing, and the service was perfect, every staff member smiles, is attentive, and genuinely cares that their guests have an amazing experience! Chef Pretty and his staff work miracles with their small kitchen space 🙂. Every dish we had was sooooo good!! They officially have their full liquor license, and they have beer, a thoughtful wine list, and killer cocktails by their supremely talented beverage director Noah (iykyk.). They also have lots of tables on the terrace for walk-ins!! We can’t wait to see what comes next from this team!!

One of the best meals I’ve had this year. Beautiful crafted and presented dishes and executed perfectly. Service was thorough but not overbearing and his knowledge was great. The night we went they received their liquor license, the mocktails were unique and delicious but I’m looking forward to trying what the bar team will do now they have a full liquor license.

Wow! It was a pleasure to be eat here tonight. The overall dining experience was amazing. My favorite dish was the amberjack crudo with cucumber and grape. Very refreshing! All the other dishes were top notch as well. The staff were attentive and friendly. The room was cozy with relaxing decor. I can’t wait to come back soon.

We went to Olive and Rose when we heard it was a sister restaurant to the Michelin star, Heritage. It housed in a recently renovated motel that has a retro vibe to it. I believe it replaces a diner that used to be there. It has a different feel to Heritage which is to be expected as it's a different concept. The food is very flavorful and delicious. We had an assortment of foods such as the steak frites, pork shoulder, tartare, crudo,crude, and fish with mashed potatoes. All were excellent but I really enjoyed the pork shoulder and steak. Delicious! They are still working to get their liquor license but I'm glad we were able to get I before it gets too busy. Go check it out and enjoy another great restaurant addition to Long Beach!

The service. The food. The drinks. Top tier!!! My husband and I have been literally everywhere and it’s hard to wow us, but omg this place is a little gem right inside of Long Beach. We didn’t wait for a second for a drink or to be checked on! The bread and butter, endive salad and Jadori chicken was amazing!! Highly recommend!
