BO-beau kitchen + roof tap - Long Beach (CA)

5 /5 Christopher Taylor: Had a wonderful birthday meal at BO-beau. Brussels and tomato bisque were standouts, but every bite was delicious. Picnic table seating was quite uncomfortable and cheapened the atmosphere a bit, but food more than made up for it. Probably wouldn’t drive from Irvine again, but absolutely worth a trip if you’re in the area.

5 /5 Dave Danekas: A nice spot to enjoy dinner on their outdoor rooftop patio on a cool SoCal evening. The aptly named "famous" Brussels Sprouts are a winner and a must have! They are easily shareable. We also loved the extra thick cut bacon that was blended in with the sprouts. Mains were the LBC Chicken Sandwich and I was drawn to the Bo Burger Royale. Pork belly with two beef patties, why wouldnt ya! The truffle aioli contributes to a great flavor balance. Our server was super friendly but prices were on the higher end. Overall though, it was a nice evening out.

3 /5 Mina Taheri: We had a reservation at The Root Tap. The place itself was nice, though it felt more like a sports bar than the upscale French restaurant we were expecting. Our server was quite slow — it took a long time for both our order to be taken and for the food to arrive. I ordered the fig flatbread (even pointed to it on the menu), but they brought out the shrimp flatbread instead. When I declined it, the server apologized and quickly arranged to have the correct one made. I appreciated how professionally the staff and management handled the mistake. The food overall was okay. The wings were average, but they came with fries that were excellent — crispy, hot, and flavorful. The Brussels sprouts, however, were disappointing. Despite the glowing reviews, ours were over-fried and had a bitter, burnt taste. The fig flatbread, once corrected, was actually quite good — thin crust and topped generously.

5 /5 Toya Rhys: This is such a nice restaurant. We dined on the rooftop, which has heat lamps for the days that are kind of cool. Our food was delicious. I ordered the brussels sprouts, the meatballs, and the truffle fries. My Bestie ordered the wings, mac & cheese, and Caesar salad. We both loved our meals. And the drinks were outstanding; just the right amount of kick and flavor. The customer service was excellent. I will definitely be back.
