What's a cool, interesting restaurant in Long Beach, California?

Question

My wife and I are in a restaurant rut. We always go to the same places. Can anyone suggest a cool, interesting restaurant in, or near, Long Beach, California? Price range doesn't matter (too much), but we'd love a place that's imaginative in food or atmosphere.

Answer 1

the Queen Mary ship.

or the restaurants around there.

Answer 2

The Crab Pot if you like seafood. They serve your food in a bucket and place butcher block paper on the table. Your meal is dumped on the table. The food is good and believe for the newcomers it's definitely a conversation piece.
