Well, it is Restaurant Week in Long Beach this week . Last night, I went to my most favorite "GO TO" places in town for dinner & in addition to a GREAT $19 3 course special dinner for the week featuring a salad, an entree & dessert, they now offer some NEW GREAT options!
Mondays- Surf ' OR' Turf- All you can handle Amazing Meatloaf OR Mussels- Both offered for $16 (GSR Burgers-"Grandma's Special Recipe" Only $5!
Tuesdays- Buy one entree & get the seconds for half price
Wednesdays- Wine Down- BYO w/ NO corking fee or Half price on all bottles
Thursday is Steak Night w/ Choice of steak, a salad & potato for $24
Well, I just had to try the meatloaf as his burgers & meatballs are sooooo good & its was fantastic! Moist, flavorful , huge and incredibly Delicious (as I expected)
My husband had the crab crusted wild bass- outstanding!! Served over sauteed spinach & mashed potatoes - YUM!
I love this place- Alan, the owner, always greats his guests with a smile - the decor is so eclectic- & the ever changing menu is always unique, and just consistently so good.
Music on many evenings & large screens so you can catch a game if you so choose by the bar. The booths are cozy, warm & romantic .
He now also offers BRUNCH on the weekends!

The Capital Grille
TONe of the most fabulous dining experiences recently was this weekend at the newly opening (just four days) Capitale Grille in the Roosevelt Field Shopping Mall ( what will soon be known as Restaurant Row)
They have several restaurants all over the country but this is by no means your typical "CHAIN!)
From the moment you enter, the staff is warm, friendly, attentive and extremely knowledgable..
The decor is rich & elegant, with dark woods, trendy lounge & bar area (where you will need to (happily) wait for a drink or eat at the bar if you do not have a reservation!)
The dining room is beautiful with a huge wine wall behind glass and lovely table settings all around the open kitchen.
(There is also a small room which accomodates 30 for a private party)**
The menu is HUGE! From fabulous appetizers including the enormous & incredibly delicious seafood tower with some of the freshest oysters I have ever eaten! Served with several dipping sauces including a wonderful tangy mustard sauce, whole lobsters, jumbo shrimp, fresh lump crabmeat & of course, oysters- FANTASTIC!
The entrees include many carnivores porterhouse, filet mignon, bone in sirloin, delmonicos (both plain grilled & porcini rubbed) and huge double cut lamb chops are among the favorite dream items- mouth watering! (all cooked to perfection I might add)
The fish selections also wonderful, especially the jumbo stuffed shrimp with not only crabmeat but LOBSTER! YUM!
Sides include not just the usual steak house fare, but also many new delicious options such as the parmesan truffle fries, haricot verts w/ roasted shallots & cherry tomatoes, and more!
The Wine list is vast with many many selections in all price ranges, and desserts also great and many choices.
Don't miss it!!!!!!!
