Five Ocean - Long Beach

Another great long beach place, but you can sit on the water and not have to be in the hotel, like a real beach place Food great service, so many people who are cool and helpful Great vibe. Plus the food is beautiful looking suprise at a beach place how they get the details right on the money And yes the chef is a chef, not a cook for a place the could easy be a tourist trap its so much more

As a local, Five Ocean is my go-to for showing off Long Beach to friends and family. The setting and staff are awesome, there?s no where else in town you can dine on the beach; and the food is exceptional. I?ve never had a bad meal there, actually I?ve had some of my best, and there?s always something new, seasonal and amazing to try. ????

This place is absolutely spectacular!! Every bite of every dish is perfection. Craig is an amazing chef you will never be disappointed with a meal here. Thanks for a wonderful night and meal.

Our group of five enjoyed the heirloom beet salad, lentil squash soup, linguine with briny fresh clams, buttermilk fried chicken, and crispy chicken wings. Everything was delightful, but the soup truly stood out; it wasn't your typical chunky lentil variety but rather a creamy, flavorful reduction reminiscent of what you’d find in a French bistro. We also indulged in some truffle fries, which were a must-have. On a subsequent visit, we tried the crispy shrimp appetizer, shrimp orecchiette, perfectly seared ahi, a thick Angus burger, and once again ordered the fried chicken. The wine pairings were excellent as well. Unfortunately, our food photos turned out poor because we forgot to snap them before devouring our meals. We highly recommend this restaurant; you won’t be disappointed!

The restaurant is situated in a beautiful location, and the owner was very friendly, promptly addressing a few minor issues we encountered. The mushroom quesadillas were crispy and absolutely delicious. However, our server appeared to be quite new and mistakenly mixed up our orders. In response, the owner generously offered us a round of drinks on the house. The fish tacos, while generous in slaw and beets, ended up being overly soggy, and the fish itself was just average. On the other hand, the lobster tacos were fresh and well-balanced in flavor. We also received an excess of sour cream in the tuna guacamole we hadn’t ordered, and the tuna wasn’t to my liking. On the plus side, there was a great selection of local beers on tap and delightful jalapeño margaritas. With a little more training for the servers, the experience could be greatly improved, but the ocean air was simply lovely.
