Hey Party People- its time for outdoor dining again! Lets get together and have some wine and food!

Ambrosia has always had great choices for vegetarians (a falafel pita the size of a small nation, great garden burgers, an excellent veggie platter) and its meatless meals are still strong. One of the best bets on the vegetarian menu is the Combo for Two ($30), which comes piled with two falafel patties, two dolmas, spanakopita (yummy) and moussaka, which is made with egglplant, zucchini, and potatoes and served with a béchamel sauce?a ton of great vegetarian food for $15 per person. Although Ambrosia is sometimes passed over in favor of more well-known Second Street favorites, the restaurant is a great place just another piece of Long Beach?s surprisingly deep Mediterranean eats.

CAFÉ AMBROSIA 1923 E BROADWAY | LONG BEACH 90802 | 562.432.1098 | CAFEAMBROSIA-LONGBEACH.COM FOOD | FOR TWO, $30-50 | BEER, WINE

Parking is street parking only- so carpool is encouraged! This place is beautiful- the reviews have been mixed- lets check it out for ourselves!

    I had fun talking to people, enjoying the dinner and seeing an old friend from work. I would rather have stayed inside though.

    Even though we didn't make it for dinner, it was great to see everyone at the Reno Room!

    By "food time" I meant "good time". The F and the G are right next to each other on the keyboard, and it's late. But anyway...
