5 /5 Amy Sonder: This restaurant was such a pleasant surprise! We spent the afternoon and sunset hours on Venice Beach and none of the restaurants right on the water had menus that were all that exciting for us. So a quick search brought us to Longboard. We called and asked about parking, there is some street parking if you can find it and a garage right around the corner.
Our first impression was a bit cautious, as it was a busy Friday night and the inside was quite busy and loud. We decided to stay anyways and sat outside in the front, which was a great spot to people watch. The waitress was very friendly and the menu was great. They have Pepsi, which made me happy. And it was during their Lobster Fest event so their vegetable of the day was corn on the cob, my favorite!! The steak was flavorful and perfectly cooked. My tablemate got the sliders with a salad and said they were flavorful and the perfect portion.
Overall, we loved our meal here and would highly recommend making this spot a must visit when in town. Great staff, delicious food, and the price for quality cant be beat.
