  Oh Nigel’s you did not disappoint. Mother’s Day was our very first time visiting here, and I can tell you the staff went above and beyond my expectations! From the attention to detail, the exemplary food, and the stunning photo ready atmosphere- this is a must for anyone who wants a lovely experience while dining! Thank you for taking such great care of us Bobby and staff! 🫶🏼

  Yesterday I visited this place with my family; we were a group of more than 12 people eating and drinking inside the establishment. Unfortunately, we had a very unpleasant experience when the manager, who I believe is named Genaro, made a disrespectful and dismissive comment to the waiter Armando, saying: “What time are these people leaving?” It is important to mention that our group spent more than $1,000 in total, and we were simply taking pictures at the photo spots inside the place. Despite that, we were made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. In addition, the food was not good either. My mother found a piece of wire in her Lobster Mac and Cheese, which was completely disgusting and unacceptable. After this entire experience, I definitely would not recommend this place.

  Nigel’s in Long Beach is always a solid choice. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and hits that comfort food spot every time. You can tell everything is made with care, not just thrown together. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has a great local vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and it’s one of those spots you leave already thinking about what you’ll order next time. Definitely one of the better go-to spots in Long Beach. Highly recommend.

  One of the absolute BEST spots I’ve ever been too!!!! A little difficult to find but the place is so big and so cute the aesthetics are outstanding and it’s right on the canal but that’s not just all this place is about the drinks were amazing and the food was DELICIOUS!!! I ate the entire plate and that like rarely ever happens but it was sooooo good I couldn’t stop eating it !! Our server was so cute and was getting to know us and recommending spots for our vacation loved everything about this spot!! Would 1000000000% come back!

  Worst dinner of my life. Went for my mother's birthday with a reservation and got there early and was still seated 15 minutes late. The menus were dirty & sticky from jump. The water taste like it came from the sewer. The host gave us a brunch menu and a dinner menu. We thought we could order from both menus since they were both given to us and neither menu had a set time the food was offered. The waitress did not come to our table for TWENTY-TWO minutes. I approached the host 3 times and they had no urgency to get us a waiter/waitress to the table. We asked the waitress for a dessert menu after we ordered and she said she would get one for us. She never came back. A waiter came to replace her and said she went home. He said they did not have a dessert menu; that they told people what they offered from memory. I could not order off the brunch menu; so we were tempted in vain with the brunch menu. I order a $16 truffle mac-n-cheese; it was cold like ice cream and was tiny but still cost SIXTEEN DOLLARS. My mother ordered a salmon avocado bowl and asked the waiter was there any radishes in the dish and he assured her there was not. As you can see in the pic; there was dozens of radishes in the dish. My mother asked for pepper that never came, she was supposed to get a free dessert for her birthday that never came. When I explained all of this to the manager, he was defensive in everything and unapologetic in the negligence in his staff, the delay of receiving items asked for, ON TOP of the fact that the waitress who left our table was STILL walking around. Never coming here again. They will be closed in less than a year.
