Sebastian's Mediterranean Cuisine

Came here on a really hot Saturday even though the Long Beach area is NOT really cooler than Los Angeles. They have comfortable patio seating on the sidewalk where the street traffic is not threatening. Their menu is Mediterranean, which is a mix or Middle Eastern & Italian. Service was friendly but not very attentive. Had to go into restaurant to get ordered iced tea and then straws. My friend ordered the Lasagna($14), Iced Tea($2) and I got Lamb Chops w/roasted veggies with Tabbouleh Salad($20), and we shared the Calamari Fritti(($12). Quite reasonable prices. The Calamari were very good but the menu said they came with a SPICY marinara but it was just bland so they brought me some chili oil(surprise!) that was quite spicy & good. The Lamb Chops(3) were perfectly cooked and delicious but the Tabbouleh salad was not the traditional with bulgur and parsley but a variation w/semolina 'beads' and almost no parsley. To his credit, the owner(I assume) served our food and said no problem if I wanted to change the salad. Didn't taste it till he left and it was OK, a bit bitter, but I was enjoying the lamb chops and got full. My friends lasagna was a large portion but flavored differently that from an Italian place and she said it was just OK. She got a nice salad with it. I would go back for the lamb chops alone but there were other items on the menu I would like to try.

Tried this place out after a recommendation from a friend. They serve Mediterranean and Italian food. We got the appetizer sampler with calamari, lemon butter shrimp, potatoes and an oil Greek sauce... delicious! I ordered a falafel wrap and it was well made with hummus and pickled beets. Very good food. I will like to return to try more of the menu.

I wish the world would allow 10 stars for places because This places deserves 10 Star there good Cooks here there meat and fish are soft and crispy even golden Ramsey would love this place

Good quality, good food. Brought our own bottle of wine...Love the outdoor seating. Service was a little slow, but was easily compensated for by the Euro feeling atmosphere...
