   Davina was our server and she was fantastic! The food and service were excellent! My family and I have dined here on numerous occasions and have never had an issue.

   Excellent dinner. Filet mignon was very tender - could have been a touch warmer. We would have preferred to sit inside the main restaurant. We were seated in covered canopy area which was good but for future reference make reservations that ask for interior. Server was great and thanks for the birthday creme Brule.

   Our server Paul was fantastic. As were everyone else who waited on us. The food was a 10 as well as the location of our two top table. right behind the piano and the gentleman who played through our entire time there. Just terrific. .

   My wife and I dine at 555 East a few times during the year. Due to the Valentines Day weekend, we were not able to sit at our usual full booth that I requested. The table seating for two is just fine. Regarding this particular dining experience, the service was great at usual and the food was good, although the Caesar salad was not quite up to it's usual standard. We still miss the Tableside Caesar which isn't prepared anymore. The bread was good, although it took some time for a reorder of the bread to be cooked. 555 East is still our favorite steakhouse in the Long Beach and will continue to be.

   This was my first experience dining at 555 East for Valentine’s Day, so keep that in mind.Walking into the restaurant was a bit confusing, but once inside, the ambiance was amazing truly a beautiful setting. After checking in for our reservation, we waited only a few minutes before being seated, which was a quick turnaround. Our reservation was for outdoor seating, which we knew when booking, but the atmosphere outside was noticeably different from the indoor dining area.As we walked up to the outdoor section, I noticed the raised floorboards, which felt a bit unstable something to be cautious about for you and your party. We were seated next to a heater lamp, which was great for my partner, who was cold. Unfortunately for me, it was a little too warm, but I dealt with it. However, towards the end of the night, as the restaurant was closing, they let the heater slowly die out, and my partner started getting cold again.Our server was fantastic—attentive and accommodating but the overall service throughout the night was inconsistent. The kitchen was slow, and we had to wait multiple times for my portion of the four-course meal. Out of the four courses (excluding dessert), I ended up waiting longer for three of them. Meanwhile, a couple seated next to us who arrived after us received their food quickly, finished their entire meal, and left before we even got our first course. That was frustrating, especially since it felt like our table kept getting overlooked.I tried to be understanding, given that it was Valentine’s Day and a busy night, but the delays were a consistent issue throughout the evening. When we finally finished our last course, the check came, and I paid. However, after that, the service completely stopped no one checked in on us again, which made it feel like, once the bill was paid, we were no longer a priority.Overall, while the ambiance and our server were great, the service issues made the experience disappointing making the dinner aspect dissatisfi

    Went for Valentine's Day Dinner. Not sure if it was overbooked or just really popular because there was a line of people waiting. Luckily we had reservations and didn't have to wait long. The food was incredible as was the service.
