Long Beach / Catalina Restaurants

We had an excellent lunch! It was a chilly day and yet very comfortable sitting outside in the protected patio with heat lamps. Not too hot like they can get. Our server, Haley, was really excellent. A sweet personality with a great smile she and her team were on top of everything. We ordered the deep fried deviled eggs to start and they were delicious. Then they cleared the plates and brought out the silverware for the shared lunch bistro that included a petit filet atop arugula and tomato on a garlic toast, their kale and napa cabbage salad and a cup of the soup of the day which happened to be cream of asparagus. I mention the place settings because we often have to ask for the extra steak knife or soup spoon when we are sharing. Details to little things make a better impression. So service impressed us. The food did too. The filet, ordered medium rare was perfectly cooked with a nice little char on the outside. Very tender and flavorful with the stack of flavors. The asparagus soup was delicious. It had a little grilled asparagus and melted cheese that was like a present at the bottom. The restaurant interior is very upscale and inviting as well. More

We enjoyed another excellent meal at Trani's tonight. We had an excellent table as requested.. Started with Peruvian Scallops which were outstanding. Then the old reliable New Style Calamari. Maple Duck was enjoyed and reported to be excellent. Salmon Milanese was also presented to our table and was prepared well.We also enjoyed the Veal Chop pounded thin. Gloria Ferrer Carneros Pinot was good and a value at $38. We had a great meal as usual. More
