The story
Perched on the third floor of Parkers' Lighthouse in Shoreline Village, Queensview Steakhouse offers something genuinely rare: a full 360° panorama taking in the Pacific Ocean, Queensway Bay, the iconic Queen Mary, and the Downtown Long Beach skyline — all from a single dining room. The setting is dramatic without being showy, and the "supper club" format gives the whole evening a warm, unhurried rhythm.
The menu draws from both sides of the Southern California table. Prime steaks and chops anchor the kitchen's identity, while fresh grilled fish, lobster, creative sushi and sashimi, and innovative Southern California seafood dishes round out a list broad enough to satisfy any table. Signature appetizers, composed salads, indulgent sides, and decadent desserts complete the picture. It is, as the restaurant puts it, classic meeting contemporary — each dish designed to balance flavor, innovation, and presentation.
The wine program has earned Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence consistently, a recognition that reflects both the depth of the list and the team's commitment to pairing it thoughtfully with the food. General Manager Stacy Lee, a Level 1 Court of Master Sommeliers certificate holder who has worked her way through virtually every role in the house, oversees a team that brings genuine expertise to every table. On the events side, Sales Managers Annalisa Padayhag and Jennifer Mills — the latter a WSET-accredited wine enthusiast — have together built a reputation for meticulous private dining and banquet experiences at the waterfront location.
From Tuesday through Sunday, local musicians set the tone before the first course arrives. The live jazz backdrop, combined with the harbor views and the supper club pace, makes Queensview a natural choice for celebrations, date nights, and private parties alike. The restaurant is operated by Select Restaurants, a group known across the country for fine waterfront dining, and that institutional care shows in the consistency of the experience.
For anyone looking for a steakhouse and seafood dinner in Long Beach that goes well beyond the plate, Queensview delivers a complete evening — food, wine, music, and one of the most striking views on the California coast.
