Best Restaurants for Groups in Long Beach

I love this place. The food is always good, and the staff is always friendly. The steak and lobster for $28 you cant go wrong.

Hudson House is not just a restaurant; it’s a vibe, and I’m here for it all! While everyone flocks here for their cheap Taco Tuesdays (and yes, they’re great), the real magic happens during their “early” happy hour on Fridays at 3 PM and their unmissable jazz brunch on Sundays. The staff makes the experience unforgettable. Justin and Dani are absolute rockstars—not just as servers but as wicked bartenders! Their drink-making skills are unmatched, and they always make you feel like the most important guest in the room. It’s clear the “not-so-new” owner, Kate, trained them to perfection—her expertise and charisma shine through in every aspect of the restaurant. And let me tell you, Kate is even more awesome in person! She keeps the energy high and the standards even higher. Hudson House is my go-to spot for fantastic food, perfectly crafted cocktails, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back. This place is more than a hidden gem—it’s a staple. Highly recommend! Pro Tip: Don’t sleep on their Friday happy hour or Jazz Sunday brunch; they’re the real stars of the week. •A loyal regular!

Always a good time at kalaveras. Food was great drinks even better.

We wanted to take my mom out to lunch for her birthday. I’ve passed this place many times and it was right down the street from my church. Everything was great except the music was a little loud, which we weren’t expecting. My dad is 85 so we were a little worried but then my mom started bopping to the songs and my dad was loving the guacamole so it was ok. Overall we had a good time. The service and food were excellent.

The Sunday Champagne Brunch at the Reef is always excellent. The servers are attentive and the view can't be beat. The only complaint we have is that the restaurants puts a 2 hour limit on your meal even when they are not busy.
