"A long-running, celebratory restaurant dating to 1938 that serves elevated American classics—Caesar salad, crab cakes and steaks—alongside showstopping, special-occasion dishes such as wagyu beef Wellington and a rolling caviar cart; popular for birthdays and anniversaries." - Tim Chester
"In late 2024, the Fairmont Breakers Long Beach revealed its years-long refresh to this 90-year-old hotel, revealing the stunning Sky Room. The former Old Hollywood room overlooks the Pacific Ocean, and on a clear day, diners (or drinkers) can spot Downtown LA. Chef de cuisine Max Pfeiffer put together a menu where old meets new with a beautifully executed beef Wellington, or the steak tartare with pickled mustard, cornichons, capers, and beef fat before adding potato chips and egg yolk jam. Settle into a table, or sit at the bar with fresh and colorful cocktails, and be immediately transported to the 1940s." - Rebecca Roland
"With Old Hollywood beginnings almost a century ago, the Sky Room’s recent incarnation reintroduced one of the most stunning dining rooms in the Southland. For Long Beach locals, it holds special meaning, but even first-timers will enjoy the new menu by chef de cuisine Maxwell Pfeiffer, where he highlights the past through riffs on classics like beef Wellington or the steak tartare with pickled mustard, cornichon and capers, beef fat, potato chips, and an egg yolk jam. The bar’s cocktails are also worth trying, especially while looking across the Long Beach Harbor with the city’s downtown in the distance." - Mona Holmes
"After a lengthy renovation, the Fairmont Breakers hotel is back open in Long Beach, along with its top-floor fine dining restaurant, Sky Room, which dates back to 1938. The dining room is decked out with pink and gold booths, chandeliers, and harbor views, plus a menu of luxe dishes like uni toast and wagyu beef wellington. The hotel is also home to a more casual Italian spot called Nettuno, a rooftop bar, and a jazz lounge. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Cathy Park
"Chef Maxwell Pfeiffer put together a fine-dining menu with modern tweaks, including California wagyu beef Wellington and dry-aged duck à l’orange, paired with wines to match. Coverage on the opening includes a full write-up by Longbeachize’s Brian Addison, and the dining concept launched as part of the hotel's November 19, 2024 reopening." - Mona Holmes
