Los Angeles’s 2025 Michelin-Starred Restaurants, Mapped | Eater LA

"One star. Owned by siblings chef Phillip Pretty and Lauren Pretty, Heritage is the first Michelin star for the city of Long Beach, offering a $150 multi-course tasting menu (and $75 wine pairing) featuring California produce, meat, seafood, beer, and wine." - Eater Staff

"Set in a converted Craftsman in the historic Rose Park neighborhood, this inviting locale is  removed from the hustle and bustle of Long Beach. Brother-and-sister duo Philip and Lauren Pretty run the kitchen and front of house, respectively, curating an experience that’s relaxed, but gets the details just right. On offer is a single multicourse tasting (priced quite reasonably) that highlights top-notch ingredients, including produce sourced from their nearby farm. The cooking has a California accent, and seasonal fruit may form a common thread, as in preserved kumquats paired with roasted beet and impeccably cooked dry-aged duck breast, and yet again in the guise of a frozen yogurt, in a summery dessert of charred strawberries and herbaceous yuzu granita." - Michelin Inspector

Best Los Angeles Restaurants for Your Wedding Day, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"Chef Phil Pretty’s Michelin-starred restaurant has charm for days. Heritage is a remodeled Craftsman that he runs with his sister Lauren Pretty, and its menu rotates with produce from the Santa Monica farmers market, Long Beach-sourced seafood, and with local operators like Oh La Vache to supply the cheese selections. Heritage is an intimate space that’s good for a smaller gathering, but will easily result in well-fed guests with excellent wines. Check out its wedding and events website for more information." - Nicole Adlman

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

"Heritage is a relatively casual restaurant inside a converted house that offers a eight-course tasting menu for $150. We haven't encountered any wait for a table for two here, though you probably should book ahead if you plan on coming with a group. The rotating menu typically involves things like aged duck, perfectly charred octopus, and a creamy, fruit-topped pavlova. Regardless, you’ll spend more time here clinking glasses with friends than waiting for a server to finish over-explaining the next course (like you might at some other tasting menu spots in LA). If you're looking for a laid-back, special occasion restaurant that isn’t as overwhelming as the chain restaurants down along the waterfront, Heritage is a great call for dinner." - garrett snyder
