"Chef Phil Pretty’s Heritage received Southern California’s only Michelin star in 2023. The recognition is well-deserved for the three-year-old restaurant, where a rotating tasting menu currently includes a Dungeness crab tart, local black cod with braised abalone, and a caramel corn pavlova with herbs and a blueberry gel. This is one of Long Beach’s premiere fine-dining destinations; reservations should be made well in advance." - Mona Holmes, Brian Addison
