Roe Seafood - Restaurant - Long Beach (CA)

4 /5 Esai Ramirez: Came here on a short trip, be aware that most menu prices have gone up since the most recent photos. It took a while to get served, although the hostess was kind enough to refill our waters and our orders were perfect. The food is a bit pricey, however tastes great & the sauces are amazing! Particularly the spicy steamer had a delicious sauce, more bread to enjoy it would have been lovely. My fish was perfectly cooked and tasted great, and the cocktails were good but very expensive for something without much presentation. It was strong, which I cant complain about, but nearly $20 for a basic cocktail seems a bit much. The area around was nice and vibrant at night, overall I enjoyed it however would have picked something else if I knew the more recent prices.

5 /5 Julien Roux: The food here is outstanding, with amazing attention to detail in every plate, making each dish both beautiful and delicious. Their wine selection is excellent, and I highly recommend the tasting combo, which includes five well-curated pours that pair perfectly with the food. Whether dining solo or as a couple, I’ve had a great experience every time I visit Long Beach. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, making it a fantastic spot for a memorable meal. Definitely a go-to for seafood lovers!

1 /5 Kahawana Sauray: ⭐ 1 out of 5 – Very Disappointing Experience I rarely leave bad reviews, but our experience at Roe was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to share. We had to send back the braised pork dish—it smelled off and tasted like old meat. Definitely not something youd expect to be served at a restaurant. The filet was just okay, but the plate was completely overwhelmed with French fries. It wouldve been nice to have a proper side of vegetables or something more balanced. The "blackened cod" wasnt even blackened—it was bland and underwhelming. Food aside, the service was equally poor. Our waiter took so long to even approach our table that the hostess had to come over to take our order. It also took nearly 10 minutes just to check out, which was frustrating. Overall, this was a letdown from both a food and service standpoint. There are too many great dining options out there to waste your time or money here. Would not recommend.

5 /5 Michael Bonfiglio: My second visit to Roe Restaurant for breakfast/brunch was nothing short of exceptional, solidifying it as a standout dining destination in Long Beach. Initially discovering Roe after another restaurant turned us away for having our dog, we were delighted to find their pet-friendly outdoor patio, which welcomes furry companions with open arms. The interior is equally impressive, adorned with charming trees and ambient lighting that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless. We were promptly seated, and our server, Justin, provided impeccable service that elevated our meal. His friendly demeanor, attentiveness, and knowledge of the menu made every interaction a pleasure. Starting with the house Bloody Mary, garnished with a shrimp, bacon, and green olive, I was immediately impressed by its bold flavors—a must-try for any cocktail enthusiast. The small seafood tower was a delightful surprise, featuring fresh raw scallops that were a first for me and absolutely delectable. For my main course, I ventured out of my comfort zone with the Migas seafood scramble. The concept of seafood and eggs initially seemed unconventional, but this dish was a revelation. Perfectly executed, it ranks among the most memorable breakfast dishes I’ve ever had. The accompanying green salsa was a highlight—vibrant, perfectly spiced, and bursting with flavor, it’s easily one of the best salsas I’ve tasted. The kids enjoyed the French toast, which was equally outstanding and a hit with the whole family. Roe Restaurant consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience, from its pet-friendly accommodations and stunning ambiance to its innovative menu and top-notch service. Justin’s stellar service during both of our visits deserves special recognition. I wholeheartedly recommend Roe to anyone seeking a remarkable brunch spot in Long Beach—it’s a true gem!

5 /5 Anna Huang: Our monthly date night turned into a spontaneous food binge. After biking off the beach to the main street to find some food, we conveniently stopped right in front of Roe. We opted for their more casual takeout service, their market side. Shared their Blackened Mahi Sandwich, which came with kennebec fries with their Roe Sauce ($20) - such an amazing sandwich! Fish was cooked perfectly, the ciabatta soaked up as much of the sauces as it could, fries were out of this world with the additional sauce on the side to make all your taste buds work. The food was superb, and I can’t wait to try more! Service, on the other hand, was cold, hoping for a warmer welcome on the other side of this eatery.
