Nettuno

Beautiful hotel, great service, great food & drinks.-minestrone verde-- simple and delicious if you're in the mood for a light soup-gamberi alla griglia-- perfectly cooked and delicious -pollo al funghi-- favorite dish; mushroom forward, not heavy, juicy chicken-tagliollini alla granseola-- delicious if you're into seafood but tasted very seafoody so hard to go back to after eating the chicken. Delicious crab chunks in the sauce though-tiramisu-- mouthwatering

Last night, we dined at Nettuno at the Fairmont. Having previously enjoyed our experience at the Skyroom, we were eager to see if this new spot would impress. Unfortunately, it didn't.Let's start with the service. While our server was friendly, the overall staff seemed disheveled wrinkled clothing, a generally unpolished look, and some even appeared as if they had just rolled out of bed. For an upscale restaurant, we expect a level of professionalism that extends beyond just demeanor; presentation matters.Now, the food. It was good but for the price point, we were expecting something more than just good. Nothing stood out as particularly memorable or worth the premium.One of the more frustrating aspects of the evening was the unexpected hotel upcharge. We ordered two bottles of wine with our meal, plus an additional $95 bottle as a special treat for the table. When the bill arrived, that bottle came with a mysterious $20 service charge plus tax. When we asked about it, we were told it was a standard hotel upcharge. Excuse us? That explanation makes no sense. If there's an automatic service fee for simply ordering a bottle of wine, that should be disclosed upfront.As dedicated foodies with our own food blog, we love highlighting exciting new dining experiences. We wanted to be wowed. Instead, we left underwhelmed. The food wasn't worth the price, and the service didn't live up to the upscale experience the restaurant is clearly aiming for.Sadly, Nettuno won't be making it onto our recommendation list and we won't be returning.

Heard about the newly renovated Fairmont Breakers and had to check it out while I was in town. Close location to my brother's place so I tried the Sunday brunch and dinner for dine out Long Beach restaurant & cocktail week. Beautiful and lovely restaurant on the lobby floor. I enjoyed both brunch and dinner. For Sunday brunch, my friend and I shared everything. We ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes, avocado toast with egg, side of crispy breakfast potatoes, and panna cotta alle fragole for dessert. Service was great and food was flavorful and filling. For dinner, my friend and I tried the dine out Long Beach restaurant & cocktail week menu for $60. The service was very slow, it was extremely busy and it seemed our server was the only one available waiting on the tables. It was nice that the manager comped us on the wine since we waited awhile and the wine we ordered was not available. The food and portions were great. We really enjoyed the food especially the bucatini cacio e pepe, tagliatelle bolognese, and branzino. I was celebrating my friend's birthday and was disappointed that they knew and forgot to add a candle to the dessert. I even mentioned it as a note on the reservation and the host and server also said happy birthday to my friend. The semifreddo al cioccolato e pistacchio dessert was amazing and I would order it again. I would definitely come back and try everything else on the menu! Hopefully service during dinner would get better by then!

Amazing. Often times when you think of a restaurant in the hotel, you think it would be basic, cookie cutter hotel-y but Nettuno was completely the opposite. The restaurant is located in historic building, at Fairmont Breakers in Long Beach. It was on the lobby floor and overflowed into the lobby and lobby bar. Which was interesting. The decoration and plate-ware were chic. There was a mix of hotel guests and locals from the area. Both in casual wear and bow ties (literally). Great for date night, celebration or just an evening in the hotel.All items we ordered were tasteful! Chef did a good job with the menu. 10/10 for all items! Can't wait to go back. Definitely spreading the word to all to visit and check Nettuno out!

From the moment we arrived, the service at Nettuno was exceptional. The valet team greeted us with warmth and humor, setting a fun, welcoming tone for the evening. They were kind, professional, and clearly enjoyed their work, which made the start of our night feel special.Though we were running a bit late for our 5 p.m. reservation, Niesha and Treanna (spell check) from customer service made sure to notify the restaurant on our behalf, handling everything with ease and professionalism. When we arrived, Sam, the host, welcomed us with a calm demeanor and invited us to enjoy a cocktail at any of their bars while we waited for our table. This thoughtful gesture immediately put us at ease and set a relaxed tone for the evening ahead.We headed to Alter Ego, where we were greeted by Yani--an absolute ray of sunshine. Her positive energy was contagious, and she made fantastic recommendations, mixing us a delicious dirty martini and a perfectly crafted classic Manhattan.Back at Nettuno, Sam promptly seated us, and our server, Julio, took over. Julio was a standout--personable, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great dining experience. He took the time to ask about our tastes and guided us expertly through the menu, ensuring each course was perfectly paced. Knowing we'd just come from a round of golf, he even surprised us with an affogato to cap off our meal--such a thoughtful touch that showed his attention to detail.Every member of the team--from valet to customer service, Sam, Yani, and Julio--made our experience feel top-notch, lA1 like the sauce!P.S. The Branzino and Oxtail are must-tries!

This beautifully decorated Italian restaurant in the newly renovated Fairmont Breakers hotel was fabulous! From the moment we were greeted by the friendly staff we knew we were in for an excellent culinary experience. The server guided us well and we ordered mount watering focaccia as an appetizer, the softest focaccia I have ever had. For mains we had the oxtail stew and branzino. The oxtail was very rich, creamy and tasty with the meat off the bone. The branzino was delicate and flavorful. For dessert we shared the strawberry pannacotta. The executive chef even came around and greeted us.

I was excited to come check out this new upscale restaurant in Long Beach but was somewhat let down.The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I started at the Sky Room for a drink and app. The Garden Vesper was light and refreshing. It didn't pack that martini punch I was looking for. The rolls were good but not fresh. I did enjoy the banana bread old fashioned which was light, sweet and refreshing. But it wasn't giving "old fashioned".Dinner at Nettuno was just okay. The Oxtail Stew had a good flavor but just needed more depth. I also like my oxtails on the bone.The tagliatelle bolognese was made with fresh pasta but still lacked flavor. The ambiance is great!! This is a place you come to for the vibes and photos. Not the cuisine!

The service was great. The decor is awesome. The food is mediocre.We had the focaccia, and then tried the lobster risotto, ravioli and the gnudi.The risotto and ravioli were excellent but the gnudi was too buttery and bland.For the price, I don't think that it is worth it.

We were greeted by their friendly valet crew. They were offering suggestions as we enter the hotel. The lobby is incredibly beautiful with old meets retro meets modern. We started our evening at the Halo rooftop bar to catch the amazing views. At Nettuno, Shelly was an amazing server, taking such great care of my friend for her birthday. The food was amazing. I had the filet with olive oil mashed potatoes. My friends had the fish, a crab dish and the black truffle pasta. This is my second time here and the food has always been great. Ending our evening at the Jazz bar, Alter Ego, for a nightcap.

I went back because the pasta kept occupying my dreams. I had gone to Sky Room initially to try out a different restaurant at this refurbished hotel, but found the food and service to be lacking so I paid the check then went downstairs to make my taste bud dreams come true for a second time.This time I had the spaghetti carbonara and a chocolate pistachio dessert. I'm not a sweets person and though their tiramisu is wonderful, this dessert was balanced and well executed but not for me. However, I need to come with friends next time and convince them to have this carbonara and bucatini so I can cry in joy over bites of their food while I try yet another new dish.Come and try it out and be pleased with everything - especially the service and pricing!But note that the booths are soft and you sink to an annoying level for the table height.
