Great food

by liltamby5

The setting here is very nice! Very quaint. The turkey burger is one of the best I've had. Definitely recommend this place for brunch, but make sure you have reservations.

26 Beach

by tambs

The first time I cam here was for Mother's Day and it was honestly one of the best brunches I've ever been to. Despite the wait, I occupied myself with the best champagne and peach nectar juice. I highly suggest this place and the decor is really cute!

Chop was moist, blk. beans good and eggs done correctly. Great buzz in resturant and would go back! Menu was creative and different enough to want us to come back,

• Pros: creative menu
• Cons: service

Hidden Venice Gem

by fighton11

Venice is a great neighborhood for eclectic food places and trendy eateries which is why 26 Beach stands out: it is neither. It's just a great little place that is often overlooked because it fronts onto Washington and parking can be dicey on occasion. My boyfriend and I have been coming here for dinner for the last few years when we're just craving a nice dinner and a good bottle of wine and don't want to go to the trouble ourselves. I think combined we've probably had almost everything on the menu. Some favorites are the fresh fruit salad which, especially in the summer, is a great substitute for dessert. I'm a big fan of the meatloaf - it's just to my liking without all those annoying veggies taking up valuable meat space. And the garlic mashed potatoes that come with it are reason enough to eat here. The chocolate cake and apple crisp are always amazing and we usually get one or the other even if we're completely full and can't eat another bite. We've also never had a problem with the service and have been seated promptly with a reservation on the weekends and without on weeknights.

• Pros: Good food, good wine, good service
• Cons: Parking can be tricky, weekends are crowded

Horrible Overpriced Breakfast

by nswolf

We went for breakfast and it was really disappointing. My friend ordered the Huevos Rancheros....it was actually only one egg with a small sponnful of beans on the side. He had to ask for tortillas. I ordered a breakfast sandwhich which was served with french fries. The sandwich was bland and french fries for breakfast was just too greasy for me. The waiter was not very friendly or attentive even though they weren't busy at all. The bill was over $30 for a two bad breakfast meals. I won't be going back.

Great hamberger

by mrcarlos

Very enjoyable meal. First time at this restaurant. Drinks and salads came quickly. Food did take a little longer.then maybe it should have.

Waitress was very personable and, I thought very cute. Would recommend this place. I'll be back again for the food and to see the waitress.

Parking was no problem and it was nice to eat on the patio.

Good service, great burgers

by katy_snell

26 Beach offers Italian-American style pizza, pasta, and gourmet sandwiches and burgers. Served by a friendly and courteous staff underneath the canopied Ivy-esque patio, or indoors amidst an art-deco inspired dining room, this restaurant promises that you'll leave with a full belly, if not a doggy bag.

• Pros: Fresh ingredients, intriguing menu
• Cons: Parking tends to be tricky on the weekends
