We had my daughter’s baby shower here and it was perfect. The place has a great vibe, the food was fantastic and the service was great. And the cost was reasonable. I highly recommend it for a celebration.

Appetizers should be finished before the main course is served and the waitress shouldn't respond to me by telling me I was ALMOST finished. I don't appreciate being asked if I'd like my appetizer salad packed up to take home while it's still on my fork. I asked the waitress if she'd like to serve us dessert before we finished our main meal, to which she replied, of course not. It would be helpful if the server who took our order would bring the food to the table. It was loud, dark and impersonal. The bar needs to be stocked with higher quality liquor and complimentary bread would be a nice touch. By the way, a wedge salad with blue cheese shouldn't be served with watery iceberg, ranch dressing( I suppose they can't make bleu cheese dressing even though they serve bleu cheese- - - the rest is pretty straightforward. I like animals more than people sometimes but a dog in the restaurant that didn't have any indicators as being a service/support animal has no place in the restaurant indoors.

Beginnings always offers not only an excellent dining experience, but an interesting one. The food never disappoints and as a first time patron at one of its theme-nights (a murder mystery) it was loads of fun. The wait staff is amazingly efficient notwithstanding all of the diners and actors mingling about. Would definitely recommend.

This is the third time we have been to Beginnings. The first two times, it was excellent, so much so that my son requested that we go there for his birthday even though it’s about a 90-minute drive for us. We had a reservation for two weeks, and so it was disappointing that we were seated at the end of a shared high hat table, but okay. Our food was just okay, nothing special. I ordered a Greek salad with chicken. The grilled chicken was prepared perfectly, but the Greek salad itself was totally disappointing. Almost entirely lettuce, a few cherry tomatoes, some sliced olives, a few tiny pieces of onion, and a little feta. No grape leaves, and only one piece of cucumber, which was a hard, bitter end piece. For $17? I’ve gotten many better Greek salads at diners and delis for much less. Given how good their Greek appetizer platter was last time we ate at Beginnings, I thought the salad would be great, but it really lacked. I also had the duck bao bun appetizer. The kimchi was good, but the duck itself lacked flavor. Same with the duck in the deviled eggs. The service was good and the atmosphere was beautiful, as always, but if this had been our first visit, we’d probably not go back.

Really great food and an extensive menu with such a wide variety of incredible options here. We came as a group of 6 and ordered a few diff appetizers- the cornbread, the tuna tartare and the shrimp - and then I got a sushi roll and duck bao buns as my entree. Literally everything we ate (including the dessert - donuts for me!) was incredible. Great service, too!

The ambience is cozy and quirky. The food is scrumptious. (Don't miss the boozy ice cream!) The service is top-notch (especially the charming, funny, and oh-so-helpful Gillian!).

Love Beginnings have been going for years. One of our favorite restaurants to go to. Always a great experience. Took a friend for her birthday who has never been before. She loved it and all our hype didn't go to waste.

Got a nice reply from management. I still can't say I know about the food or atmosphere not how the service is during service.

Food was great, service was great, parking was great. Only complaint was the noise level which was deafening because of the very high ceilings. Very difficult to hear my girlfriend talking to me.

While I realize that certain restaurants try to maximize capacity because nights like NYE are big money makers, the crowd was ridiculous! You couldn't move your chair without hitting someone. Trying to get to and from a table was like trying to maneuver a maze. It made our dining experience very annoying. I would recommend Beginnings for non holiday meals.

Our server (I believe her name was Sarah, definitely had an S in her name) was so attentive and kind. The food was also delicious. Will definitely return again. Loved the theme nights idea

We stumbled across Beginnings out of necessity. We were staying in a hotel in Long Beach and we were told after checking in, the kitchen would only be serving cold items. Thankfully, I came across Beginnings. The food, all courses, was superb.
