General Info

The Modern Kitchen + Bar at 2801 E Spring St, Long Beach, CA 90806, United States, has the feel of a relaxed New American restaurant where the menu leans fresh, approachable, and easy to enjoy without overthinking it. It is the kind of place that fits both a casual lunch and a comfortable dinner, especially for guests who like simple dishes with a modern touch.

One of the standout items is the Croissant, which brings a classic bakery-style comfort to the menu. It works well for anyone who enjoys something light yet satisfying. For a refreshing drink pairing, the Cucumber Cooler adds a crisp, clean flavor that balances nicely with richer bites. Together, they give the menu a bright and easygoing start.

For lunch, the 1 2 Sandwich with Chips feels like a practical and familiar choice. It is casual, filling, and well suited for a midday stop when you want something straightforward but still thoughtfully served. The chips add that extra crunch, making the plate feel complete without being too heavy.

The menu also includes options that feel a little more elevated, such as the Smoked Salmon Toast. This dish fits the New American style well, offering a fresh, savory option that feels polished but not overly formal. Another shareable favorite is the Hummus Board, which is ideal for guests who like to start with something lighter or enjoy a plate with different textures.

The Modern Kitchen + Bar also serves alcohol and beer, making it a convenient location for guests who want to pair their meal with a drink. Since the restaurant offers lunch and dinner, it works for different dining plans throughout the day. However, one important service detail to know is that there is no delivery, so the experience is best planned as an in-person visit.

What customers say?

“ I have never EVER been to a restaurant where I've loved every single thing I've ordered without wanting to change something, ie. "Needs salt, needs pepper, isn't hot enough, zero flavor, etc." I fell in LOVE with every single thing we ordered! I didn't have ONE critique, everything was perfect. The hummus was so fresh I was in awe, perfect chips and cucumber slices. The tomato bisque was seasoned perfectly, very very hot (it's my biggest pet peeve when soup isn't hot), we got the California club and it was perfect. The croissant was flaky and light, perfect addition. Delicious lunch meat, again, I'm the pickiest person alive and I could have just ordered a side of the meat. We also ordered the charcuterie board, and every bite was perfect. The presentation was beautiful, and it was a great size for 2. The chicken pot pie had to be my favourite. Fresh, super hot (how it should be), so flavorful, and just perfect. I will never go anywhere else for my chicken pot pie needs! Even the side SALAD was perfect, and I hate salad. Emily was our server and not only was she extremely attentive, personable, and quick, she was just so KIND. I felt so seen and appreciated as a consumer. She gave great recommendations and was so fun to talk to. It definitely added to the ambience of the place. Additionally, we found out that day that the restaurant is family owned! Mary is the owner, just as sweet as pie, and Shannon, her daughter, is equally as sweet! We raved to them over how delicious everything was, and their appreciation warmed my heart. I came back again yesterday and they all remembered me by name and made me feel even more welcome. From the pickiest girl on the PLANET: YOU NEED TO EAT HERE! 11/10 recommend! Also, you can get cocktails to GO!? in BATCHES!? It can't get any better. Thank you Emily, Mary, and Shannon for continued great experiences. I'll be back next week! :) ”

“ Well, I couldn't be happier that I tried this place. I went with two friends for lunch after some local LB shopping. We knew we were in for a great experience from the moment we walked in. It has a really cool vibe and a welcoming staff. The cocktail list was unique with many interesting options. Two of us decided on the Paloma and one had the Kumquat Ginger Margarita, both so delicious! Best Paloma I've had, hands down. They also have a great wine list, which we got into later with a wonderful Rosé. Choosing a dish for lunch was difficult because everything looked so good. We started with the House-made Kettle chips which came with a tasty chipotle ranch, yum! For meals, we went with the smoked salmon tartine, pastrami sandwich, and the Caesar with grilled shrimp. The food was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. The sandwich was huge so I had the second half the next day for leftovers, still so good! I'm excited to have a new "go-to" place for great food & drinks, and cool a atmosphere. Oh, and totally reasonably priced! Win-win! Cannot wait to go back and take more friends :) ”

“ Super cool spot at the local airport, quiet and out of the way, very friendly staff! The cocktail list is long and I’d like to try all of them. We tried the Cucumber cooler and the old fashioned (both tasty). There’s a great Happy Hour selection of food too. We tried the pickled eggs (spicy). I’ll absolutely be back to try more! ”
