The Ordinarie Tavern -Food CA (Near Long Beach)

5 /5 Jen Sandoval: ​This was our first time dining here, and it exceeded expectations. The gorgeous decorations transformed the space, and the staff, who were all dressed up, were exceptionally friendly and inviting. Even with a small wait (understandable, as it was the most popular spot on the block!), the experience was fantastic. The food and specialty drinks were delicious, and the live band kept the energy high. An absolutely fun, high-energy vibe—we loved it! ​Just be prepared for a premium bill; it was pricey, but we felt it was fair value for the special, immersive event and overall quality.

5 /5 Emmily E.: I always come here for Christmas! I loved their decorations! Sadly some staff weren’t really nice. But ofc there were some pretty good staff too. Would have love spending more time. But you do get a limit time there to just have some drinks.

5 /5 Casey Nicole: Cant say enough wonderful things about this adorable spot. I didnt even realize they were going a Christmas Pop-Up event but was pleased to be promptly seated at the bar (I was dining solo). They also didnt charge an entry fee for the event which I thought was really cool. They went FULL OF NUTS with the gawdy, cheesy, flashy decor and I dont think I could love it more. Theres Garland EVERYWHERE, Christmas music is blasting, and the menu (including cocktails) are dripping with Holiday Cheer. Staff were attentive and present. The cocktails were delicious (I tried the Run Run reindeer and the Dancing Sugar plum and both were fabulous though the latter is more of a dessert drink). The Chicken Pot Pie Bites are ridiculously delicious, the flaky crust is messy and tasty and the sauce they come in almost had that southwest chipotle flavor.... Just amazing. I think whether they are doing a Pop-up event or not, youd be pleased, but the extra decor sure made it fun!

3 /5 SD R: The three of us made an early happy-hour pilgrimage to The Ordinarie, drawn by fun energy and bartender Sophia’s charm. The wings were spot-on—crispy, flavorful, and basically MVP of the night. Then came the blackened salmon… which arrived looking more ‘charcoal chic’ than ‘seared perfection.’ To their credit, they rescued it with a second attempt that redeemed the dish. The fries were solid sidekicks—golden and satisfying. Unfortunately, the taps weren’t cooperating, so we ended up with an okay IPA that got the job done. Early happy-hour scene? Pleasant and promising—though maybe things smooth out even more as the evening unfolds. All in all, a generally fine outing with a few hiccups, but enough fun and friendliness to make us want another round

5 /5 Roman Rios: Not sure how we found out about this place, but my wife got a tip and boy. Is it a good one? This place had the most amazing Halloween decorations set up in their restaurant. The food was over the top great. The service was over the top even on top of that, and overall, we gave this place an A plus plus. kind of tucked away, not easy to get to necessarily, but boy, when you get there, be ready to be surprised. This posting is a little bit late. Considering its almost Halloween, but if youre able to see this and get over there while the Halloween decorating is still up, its worth the payoff alone, everything was worth it again. The place is great. What a nice little find. youre welcome for this one, again.
