From the OpenTable editors: This MICHELIN-Starred tasting menu gets special status for sourcing ingredients from Heritage's own farm down the street. The seasonal, multi-course menu includes fruits and vegetables that sibling owners Phillip and Lauren Pretty get from the farm twice weekly. Plus, meat and seafood comes locally from California, including fish from Long Beach’s own waters. You’ll see it all in showstopping dishes like dungeness crab toast with avocado crema and sous vide beets.

We drove from San Diego just to eat here again and so worth the drive. The presentation and balance of flavors was spectacular. Service exceptional and ambiance subtle. This is our favorite restaurant and we will continue to drive to Long Beach every time there is a change in menu.

This was one of the best Michelin star restaurants we have been to! The food was incredible and the staff was amazing. Our server was very knowledgeable and well spoken about the wine pairings. The restaurant is in a house. The kitchen is open concept and is within the seating area as well. When making some of the dishes, the place often got smokey. We enjoyed when they opened the door for the breeze, but your throat will be a little scratchy and stuffy the whole time. Other than that, we love this place and can't wait to return!

Smoke entered throughout restaurant causing our eyes to tear. Service was poor: for this price, there should have been more explanation of the food; instead server rushed through a brief description leaving us no time to ask questions. Food was subpar for this cost of $165/p; should have been more special. Not accommodating any common allergies at this price is quite unacceptable (the only Michelin Star I've ever been to that has the hubris to pretend that people don't have allergies). Charging $25 for valet in an area of Long beach with plenty of street parking is pure arrogance. All-in-all I would not return nor recommend it to anyone.

We recently dined at Heritage in Long Beach, opting for the Spring tasting menu with wine pairing. While the experience had a number of highlights, a few executional elements kept it from being truly exceptional.
The decor was warm, inviting, and cozy, creating an intimate setting. However, the acoustics were noticeably poor conversation from surrounding tables bounced through the room rather than being absorbed, which disrupted the overall ambiance.
Unfortunately, the flow of service lacked cohesion. There was a noticeable disconnect in the pacing between courses, and transitions didn’t feel seamless. The absence of an aperitif and bread service at the start was also surprising for a tasting menu of this caliber.
The meal opened with four small amuse-style snacks fresh, light, and a pleasant start.
•Course 5, a beet and yogurt dish, stood out for its well-balanced flavors.
•Course 6, scallops with trout roe, was elevated by a delicious dashi sauce.
•Course 7, sweetbreads with bisque, was a creative and well-executed combination.
•Course 8, featuring kingfish and mussels, was good but lacked a strong flavor profile.
•Course 9, the 32-day dry-aged rib chop, was a standout thanks to its rich, flavorful jus.
•Course 10, the caviar dish, was less successful the creamy ice cream component overpowered the caviar, dulling its natural richness.
•Course 11, a mille-feuille, was arguably the best pairing with the wine and was beautifully done.
•Course 12, a fruit pâte, closed the meal on an unspectacular but fine note.
The wine pairing was a strong point, especially the thoughtful local selections. While the pairing started later than expected (after the initial snacks), the wines complemented most dishes well. Wine glasses were clean, though not polished to fine-dining standards, small details that matter at this level.
Overall Impression
Heritage offers beautifully plated dishes with flashes of brilliance, especially in its use of local ingredients and wine.

An absolutely perfect dinner. Pacing was exceptional, flavors incredible, service was knowledge, professional, and friendly. They made us feel special for our 10 Year anniversary. The Heritage team has done something spectacular in Long Beach, and I’m proud as a lifelong resident to have this in our city. Keep up the good work!!

Really stingy. One of the “courses” is a 1/2 shot glass of tea!! Insanely overpriced. Save your money for Providence. We left hungry.

We had a special night at Heritage to celebrate our wedding anniversary and my daughter's promotion to high school. We loved every single dish. My kids can be a bit picky with certain foods, but they eagerly ate every one of them. The presentation was great, and the flavors were outstanding. We look forward to returning and trying their new dishes.

We had the earliest seating on a Tuesday, which provided a quiet and intimate family meal to celebrate our son’s college graduation. Basically had the place to ourselves (one other diner) until the next turn started showing up after about 90 minutes. (It is two small dining areas, with an open kitchen, and I can imagine it gets a bit louder when filled in.) Service was courteous without being stuffy, and friendly without being obtrusive. (Don’t go expecting staunch white glove but you will be cared for.) Every bite and course was beautifully presented and delicious. Highlights included… well, everything from first nibbles to last little pate des fruits bite! Very satisfying experience, and worth the drive for us from Koreatown down to Long Beach.
