The MODERN Kitchen + Bar - Long Beach (CA)

5 /5 A W: The Modern Kitchen is a hidden gem in LB. Every dish I have had is exceptional. You can tell when food is prepared with love. My go to dishes are the hatch chile dip, tuna melt and the homemade soups are divine. My favorites are the tomato bisque and Italian wedding soup. You will not be disappointed with any selection.

5 /5 Padres: I swear this place is an absolute must-go! The food is incredible, the atmosphere is clean and stylish, and the service is top-notch. All of our plates came out fresh and full of flavor, and the staff made the experience feel personal and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing drinks or sitting down for a full meal, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Wendy Becker: Well, I couldnt be happier that I tried this place. I went with two friends for lunch after some local LB shopping. We knew we were in for a great experience from the moment we walked in. It has a really cool vibe and a welcoming staff. The cocktail list was unique with many interesting options. Two of us decided on the Paloma and one had the Kumquat Ginger Margarita, both so delicious! Best Paloma Ive had, hands down. They also have a great wine list, which we got into later with a wonderful Rosé. Choosing a dish for lunch was difficult because everything looked so good. We started with the House-made Kettle chips which came with a tasty chipotle ranch, yum! For meals, we went with the smoked salmon tartine, pastrami sandwich, and the Caesar with grilled shrimp. The food was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. The sandwich was huge so I had the second half the next day for leftovers, still so good! Im excited to have a new "go-to" place for great food & drinks, and cool a atmosphere. Oh, and totally reasonably priced! Win-win! Cannot wait to go back and take more friends :)

5 /5 Frank: Very good. Everything was great. Smiple things done in amazing ways. Tomato soup was incredible. Bread on the sandwiches green tea just high end food. Cute Quaint place.Home made potato chips. Ill be back thanks

5 /5 Mason House: I have never EVER been to a restaurant where Ive loved every single thing Ive ordered without wanting to change something, ie. "Needs salt, needs pepper, isnt hot enough, zero flavor, etc." I fell in LOVE with every single thing we ordered! I didnt have ONE critique, everything was perfect. The hummus was so fresh I was in awe, perfect chips and cucumber slices. The tomato bisque was seasoned perfectly, very very hot (its my biggest pet peeve when soup isnt hot), we got the California club and it was perfect. The croissant was flaky and light, perfect addition. Delicious lunch meat, again, Im the pickiest person alive and I could have just ordered a side of the meat. We also ordered the charcuterie board, and every bite was perfect. The presentation was beautiful, and it was a great size for 2. The chicken pot pie had to be my favourite. Fresh, super hot (how it should be), so flavorful, and just perfect. I will never go anywhere else for my chicken pot pie needs! Even the side SALAD was perfect, and I hate salad. Emily was our server and not only was she extremely attentive, personable, and quick, she was just so KIND. I felt so seen and appreciated as a consumer. She gave great recommendations and was so fun to talk to. It definitely added to the ambience of the place. Additionally, we found out that day that the restaurant is family owned! Mary is the owner, just as sweet as pie, and Shannon, her daughter, is equally as sweet! We raved to them over how delicious everything was, and their appreciation warmed my heart. I came back again yesterday and they all remembered me by name and made me feel even more welcome. From the pickiest girl on the PLANET: YOU NEED TO EAT HERE! 11/10 recommend! Also, you can get cocktails to GO!? in BATCHES!? It cant get any better. Thank you Emily, Mary, and Shannon for continued great experiences. Ill be back next week! :)
