We had a great experience. That kale salad and fish sandwich were to die for. We sat out on the patio. The service was excellent. I wish I remembered our waiters' names—one was training the other. They were fun and efficient and should be complimented. They went above and beyond. Please let them know we appreciated them.

Absolutely amazing food. Pita is unbeatable. One of my favorite places in Long Beach. Only “issue” is price for quantity, but that’s okay! Good food isn’t cheap.

Amazing food and great service Bridgett! This is my 2nd time dining at Telefèric!! Excellent service, very attentive and the quality of food is great. Paella, Jamon, Wellington, kebabs, and shrimp were incredible. If you have room for dessert, please try the cookie in a skillet and churros. I will be returning for a night of great food and service.

The service at this location is definitely much better than we had heard about when they first opened. The staff was very attentive and everyone knew and used our names often and had nice surprises for our birthday celebration. The food was very good and we were impressed by the nice presentation. Definitely recommended.

So cute with all the holiday decorations! At first we were seated outside in the drizzle but they moved us to an apartment door table which was so much warmer. Great service & tasty food. The drinks were strong & delicious with cute rubber ducks, a plastic reindeer, umbrellas…..the works. We loved the experience:)
