RISÜ - Long Beach (CA)

5 /5 Ryan Mckenzie: Cesar was the absolute best! He was such a vibe and showed me and my girlies the best time without sacrificing professionalism. Excellent customer service! He was EVERYTHING!

5 /5 Marta Z: Risü [risu = smile in latin] is a hidden neighborhood gem located on the beautiful Rainbow bridge right by to the LB Convention Center. With a spacious patio overlooking the LED bridge and a pristinely kept rose garden, Risü is a great spot for parties, dates, families, and solo adventurers alike. The restaurant is casual, modern, and suave, has good bar selections - check out their tequilas- and even has live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The staff is skillful and personable, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, bartenders Merredith, Samantha, Mayce, and Kevin make great cocktails. The kitchen is small but mighty, if it’s super busy, expect some wait time for your food. American-style tapas, salads, tacos, sliders, and flat breads. I enjoy pretty much everything on the menu, spicy shrimp appetizer, a very unique salmon wrap, delish chicken wings, healthy salads, and out of the flat breads, the short rib wins my vote. Risü is dog friendly (ask about their pup dish), has dedicated garage parking, and is open daily at 11am. Dont miss out on their happy hours :)

5 /5 Uncommon Sense: We went here for date night on a Friday. It was absolutely delightful! The servers were entertaining and friendly and very very attentive. The food was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! SO TASTY! I HIGHLY recommend the flatbread of your choice. We got the shrimp one and the meat lovers and both were AMAZING!! WE also had the lemon pepper chicken wings (dry and wet)... both were great but wet was my favorite. Then on top of all the ambiance and good service and food, there was a live band. Really really nice!!! Get on over to Risü... you wont regret it!

5 /5 Julie G.: Risu is seriously that spot in the neighborhood – think "Cheers," where everyone knows your name. Its where all the locals hang out, not just for a quick bite or a drink, but for that super comfy, familiar vibe and amazing quality thats always on point. First off, the bartenders at Risu are awesome. Theyre not just making drinks; theyre genuinely friendly and make you feel right at home, whether youre a regular or just popping in. Theyre pros at making all your favorite cocktails, but what really sets them apart is that bomb tequila! Lol. Risu has an insane selection of additive-free tequila, which means youre getting the good stuff, pure and authentic. Were talking top-shelf brands like Siete Leguas, El Tesoro, Chamuco, and Ocho. If you know your tequila, youll be impressed, and if youre new to it, theyll guide you to something youll love. Last, but definitely not least - lets talk about the food – Chef Marcos is a magician in the kitchen. Seriously, everything he makes is just excellent. You can taste how fresh his ingredients are in every single bite. Our crew is legitimately obsessed with his fresh salsa and pico de gallo – theyre seriously bursting with flavor. Its clear that Chef Marcos puts a lot of love into his cooking, and that makes every dish not just tasty, but genuinely satisfying and memorable. Honestly, Risu is way more than just a bar and restaurant. Its like the heart of the community, where great food, awesome drinks, and top-notch service all come together to create an experience you wont forget. Its the kind of place youll want to keep coming back to.
