Saint & Second - (Near Long Beach, CA)

5 /5 Laura: I been here on 3 different occasions. I must say every time the service has been welcoming, attentive, polite and knowledgeable. The food has been excellent every time their presentation doesn’t disappoint. Every dish I had has been well prepared well seasoned. The steak was so tasty, rich and cooked how I ordered. The salmon was delicious light flaky just melts in your mouth. Their drinks are well prepared. I like this place. Highly recommend.

4 /5 Pranjali Sharma: We came here on a Wednesday afternoon in the pouring rain and there was tons of seating available. Parking is metered parking on the street and I imagine that it would be harder to find parking on a regular day or in the evening. The ambiance is quite upscale and this restaurant would serve well for date night. We ordered the French onion soup, Crispy chicken sandwich with truffle fried and the Fish and chips with regular fries. The French Onion soup was delicious - warm, melting cheese, bread soaked in completely...it was excellent! It was also quite heavy so Im glad that we ordered only one to share. The fish and chips was surprisingly good. The haddock fillet was cooked to perfection and the breading was light but crispy. The tartar sauce with it was very very good. They didnt provide any malt vinegar. The fries were thin and crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside which we liked. The crispy chicken sandwich was also very good. The chicken, again, had a thin but crispy breading that was beaded with black pepper, chili and I guess, some peanut powder as per the menu. It was lovely to eat. The sandwich was filled with kimchi sauce, cabbage and Korean pickles to give it an Asian zing. The truffle fries were delicious but I would have liked a little more truffle oil. The service was mediocre. The server was ok. They would also disappear right around the time we needed something. But outside of that, the food was good and I recommend this place for their food.

5 /5 WhoDat ShoughDat: We got here kind of late so I was surprised at how much seating was available. The staff were very friendly, and helped us decide what to pick from the menu and didn’t steer us wrong on any suggestions. We chose to sit outside but the indoor seating seemed very nice. They have shades and everything for outside and offered to turn on the heat for us, being that it was at night. The food was amazing. My wife got some sort of salad and she loved it! I got the burger of course and it was excellent. That desert thing was a suggestion and was pretty good as well. This place is definitely expensive, and that’s saying something for 2nd street, but it was worth it. Take your girl here when you get that tax return!

5 /5 Gordon Vasquez: Saint and Second has become the newest hotspot in East Manhattan Beach, situated on the new area of the Manhattan Village Mall. For couples, the prime seats are the bar stools on the patio, offering a cozy view inside. Ian, our bartender, was fantastic, and Ray also provided excellent service. The menu boasts a wide variety—from delicious burgers to the finest cuts of beef available. With the kitchen staying open until midnight, its a great alternative to The Kettle. Kristina and I had a wonderful time, and it’s now a regular addition to our weekly list of favorite dining spots.

2 /5 Lobaby35: Long Beach Location...Last night, I chose this place for my last dinner in Cali because of the reviews. From the moment we walked in the male host was AMAZING! We chose to sit upstairs, the atmosphere was great. Our waiter Sagan was nice and informative. After going over what type of cocktail I like, he suggested the Matchi Colada....THE BEST THING I HAD AT THE RESTAURANT. Now to the food....I was not impressed and it didnt live up to the hype of the reviews. First dish: Mac & Shrooms, I thought this was going to be great because I love mushrooms...well the taste was bland and it had a watery texture (not creamy at all). Second: crab cakes, they were sweet and there was a lot of bread filling, it was NOT crab forward at all. The sauce under the crab cakes tasted sweet as well. Did not like the taste. The last of my order was the truffle fries that was fried in duck fat, the concept was on the menu looked good, but the fries were shoestring fries from out of a bag, not housemade. The fries were not hot and was fried very hard. The cheese on top was a little over powering. My cousin ordered the strawberry margaritas (she said it was good) and the fish and chips. She said the fish tasted okay and that the fish crust was not crunchy enough and kind of soggy. She chose to take the remainder home to put in air fryer just a little longer. Spent $119 (which is not bad, if the food was great/good) I only ate one crab cake, a couple of fries and a couple of spoons of the mac and shrooms. The guy taking our plates couldnt believe I didnt want a to go box. The atmosphere and cocktails was nice. The next time Im in Long Beach, I may try their happy hour, but Im good on the food.
