Union @ Compound — Restaurant in Long Beach

I went here for brunch. The vibe was super chill. The staff are all cool AF. I sat at the bar which is in the back. Chris and Richard (bartenders) are super rad.

Now about the food. I went for the classic. Avocado toast. This avocado toast is done on a thick slice of country bread. Toasted and topped with the perfect amount of avocado. The bread kinda tasted like sourdough with olive oil. Yumm!

The day I went was Mother’s Day so there was a little extra menu for the special occasion. I had a few yummy things from there that weren’t on the regular menu.

We had some tiny pancakes with berries and homemade whipped cream. A delicious piece of fillet mignon that came with some grilled onion and fries. SOO bomb!

For dessert we had a strawberry shortcake and a spectacular ube crème brûlée. The drip coffee came from a Long Beach local coffee company called Common Room Roasters. Delicious!

The “Blushing” cocktail was yummy. While the mock tails are amazingly super tasty! Try the lemongrass Paloma and the crush. So good!

Made a reservation for 4pm and didn't realize they "close for brunch and reopen for dinner" at 4 so we were first ones there! Not too busy and were able to explore without a crowd.

We got there a little before our reservation and the host said we can grab a drink at the bar while we wait for them to reopen for dinner. Bar was loaded with high quality choices. Had the Banana Boat and it was so good. Their aperitif selection was expansive too!

Food choices were new and exciting, the small plates are anything but small! Salad was great, Cassava comforting, Bao Buns pillowy, burger was amazing.

All staff was so sweet and nice too. Overall a great experience. Can't wait to be back to try...

Our organization recently hosted our annual meeting at Union/Compound, and it worked so well for our needs. The indoor dining space was perfect for our event, with a layout that allowed for a podium, plenty of guest seating, and a designated space for our slide show. The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that everything we needed was set up exactly right.

One of the highlights was definitely the passed appetizers - perfect for the setting and such interesting flavor; our guests raved about the variety and quality of the food, and the restaurant's attention to detail really made it a hit.
