After we entered the beautifully remodeled Breakers Hotel, we took the elevator all the way up to the "SR." We were greeted by two friendly hosts and were immediately seated by the window with an amazing panoramic view of Long Beach and the Long Beach Terrace Theatre. Interestingly, eight years ago, my husband and I sat in the same spot in the old Sky Room celebrating my birthday! This time, we were celebrating love and life and in awe of the newly renovated Sky Room!
We started off with drinks. I ordered the Garden Vesper (Empress 1908 Cucumber Lemon Gin, Ketel One Vodka, Lillet, Lemon Peel Essence), which was very smooth!
We were greeted by our wonderful waiter, David who provided some suggestions. we placed complete trust in his recommendations and he did not disappoint!
For dinner, we ordered a shared serving of the California Wagyu Beef Wellington (Mushroom duxelle, prosciutto, bordelaise) with a side of Grilled broccoli, black garlic butter, parmesan tuile. We were informed that the Beef Wellington takes about 45 minutes, so David recommended the Sea Urchin "Avocado Toast", Half Moon Bay Wasabi as an Hors D'Oeuvres. The sea urchin is from Santa Barbara and was very fresh, clean, and delicious!
For appetizers, we ordered the "Garden of" Butter Lettuce & Castelfranco (Fuyu persimmon, herb vinaigrette), which was light, refreshing, and delicious!
To my delightful surprise, the Executive Chef of the Sky Room served the Wagyu Beef Wellington to us and explained where the wagyu beef came from. The first bite into the Beef Wellington and every bite after that was amazing! The meat was flavorful and very tender; it melted in our mouths! David suggested a red wine to pair with this meal, and it was perfect!
Lastly, David recommended the banana flambé paired with a Port, and it was another amazing experience! We are excited to return to try out the other meals and drinks!
Tip: Make reservations ahead of time!
