What's a good lunch date place in Long Beach, California?

Question

I'm taking a date out to lunch for the first time tomorrow and I am wondering what a good place to go would be. I live in Long Beach, California ... so anything local or in neighboring cities would be just fine.

Answer 1

Skip the chain restaurants and show you have some creativity.

Utopia on 1st Street in the Arts District would be a good place to go or Cafe Piccolo on Broadway.

Answer 2

Joes crab shack

Answer 3

Souplantation.

Answer 4

Do something fun...

The Pike restaurant on 4th st has great fish and chips, burgers, salads and tacos. The juke box is great, and there is an old school Long Beach nautical theme going on there. I hope you don't have to impress a first date with something too fancy!

It is a cool place with great food. Have fun.

Answer 5

kings seafood on pine and across the street on the corner wasabe japanese...both pricey, but both top notch!!!
