Olive & Rose — Restaurant in Long Beach

The food was good, and the presentation was impeccable.

Now that back story....

I came on a Wednesday at 5:30pm. The restaurant had 1 table of two seated. It was literally empty.

They had to debate for 5 minutes if they could squeeze me in for a party of two, IN AN EMPTY RESTAURANT.

They decided it was my lucky day, and they would bless me and allow me the privilege of eating at the restaurant.

They immediately informed me that I had to vacate the restaurant by 7 pm. (Side note-the restaurant was not full at 7 pm when I left).

Upon being sat, I was informed that I could only order 1 time for the ENTIRE NIGHT. I had to decide my entire order and order everything in that 1 order. They made it very clear that ordering anything else at a later time would not be permitted...

They did actually pace our food properly, so that was great...

As it turned out, we ordered entirely too much food. I brought home my entire rib cap and fries...

I'm aware of the ownership of the restaurant and have also dined at Heritage...

As an avid foodie and someone who has literally eaten exceptional food in many parts of the world, and someone who has eaten at more Michelin starred restaurants than I could possibly count, I find the experience here absurd. The arrogance of the entire experience, the pomp and circumstance, is just too much....

I love great food and experiences, but I dont think I will ever visit either location under this ownership ever again...

Good luck to both of you, and congrats on the new baby, and i hope some day you have the blessing of obtaining even a small amount...

Olive & Rose in Long Beach is an absolute gem, offering a perfect blend of stylish ambiance, outstanding service, and exceptional cuisine. The interior is beautifully designed—elegant yet welcoming, creating an atmosphere that feels both chic and comfortable.

From the moment we arrived, the front-of-house team made us feel incredibly welcome. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in ensuring we had a great experience. Their warmth and professionalism truly elevated the evening.

As for the food, every dish was a masterpiece. I had the chicken, which was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The seabass was equally impressive, with a delicate, flaky texture and a well-balanced combination of flavors that made each bite unforgettable.

The cocktails were just as remarkable, crafted with creativity and precision. Each drink was well-balanced and thoughtfully curated, making them the perfect complement to the meal.

Overall, Olive & Rose delivers on every level. Whether you’re looking for a refined dinner, excellent service, or just a fantastic cocktail, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely...

Incredible dining experience at the Olive and Rose for dinner. We walked in to a beautiful dining room and a warm greeting from the hostess. The atmosphere was so cute and I just want my home to be decorated the exact same. The real treat was the food, oh my goodness - the appetizers were delicious and incredibly fresh. For our entrees, we each got the chicken. It was seriously the best chicken I have ever had in my life. With the freshly foraged mushrooms and just with the chicken, I was honestly quite sad that it was over when my plate was cleaned. One person at our table said if it was appropriate to lick the plate clean, they would. To finish with dessert, the mint ice cream is so fresh - best mint ice cream I’ve ever had. Also, pair the food with a delicious “pretty and basic” cocktail, you are set for a perfect evening.

Overall, couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough. I wish I could rate them 10/5. They deserve it and I hope everyone gets to experience...
