Shore House Bar & Grill — Restaurant in City of Long Beach

I went there on a Saturday night and was told it was going to be slow. I wasn't in any hurry, so no problem there. The staff was really attentive and pleasant. The only problem I had was the noise level. Nothing to muffle the sound. So between the sounds of the diners, the many screens showing different TV shows and sports and the SCREAMING children at the next table (I blame the parents, not the restaurant staff --although the staff could have given the kids something to munch on while it took so long for their food to arrive) it was rather noisy. It wasn't full or very busy so I can only imagine how much more noisy it would be if the place was full. I had the ahi tuna wrap, which was very tasty, and my husband had the burger with vegan cheese, which was also delicious. Little things that could save waitstaff time: I asked for unsweetened iced-tea with sweetener on the side. I was given Sweet 'n' Low, I asked if they had Splenda. They did, but that was another unnecessary trip back to retrieve it. I asked for lots of lemon and was given one slice. I didn't want to bother the waitress so I didn't ask for more. When I got a refill, I again asked for lots of lemon and was given two...

I've heard of the shore house but I didn't get to visit it until February. My friend Jen Snorteland was performing in a comedy show with other comedians. I had my son because he was on February break. Getting family babysitting which is free and the only way I can manage babysitting has been scarce lately with my sister having her third baby, my dad and my other sister having been putting all hands on deck to help her and I understand but it means I have to bring my 7 year old to stuff like this if I can. Another one of my girlfriends and the guy I'm hanging out with also came along to see the show.

My son was happy, he had a huge pretzel, soda and mostly played on his phone at the end he laughed along with everyone else when the last comic came on to perform. He seemed to be a fan of the soda, and the pretzel and playing on his phone.

I got the charcuterie board. It was half and half. The crackers they served the cheese with was okay, I liked the nuts, I liked one of the cheese selections, the dried fruit was good. I ended up sharing it.

I've heard there is karaoke here, I like the atmosphere and maybe one day I'll get here for...

Came with a relatively large party on a Saturday night, which I would normally give some lenience for, but the poor service my party and I received was inexcusable. On an already record hard hot day, it took 30 minutes for us to even receive water, and upon final reception, three of them had bugs floating in them! It's took almost another hour to receive our food, and a few of us even received wrong orders. All the while our waitress never came back for refills of our drinks or water. Dehydration is an understatement. We wanted nothing more than to leave, but again with the wait staff apparently being insvisble, we waited almost another thirty minutes after eating to get the check. Which we wound up being charged for a salad that no one ever ate! I'm normally one that likes to give a second chance to anyone, but this is one I'd be very hesitant to give a second chance. In a place like Long Beach, you can find a place a...
