New restaurant for Los Altos resident

The "new" Pier 76 on Pine and 1st 

Los Altos resident's successful seafood restaurant Pier 76 moves to new Pine Street location

Last year Los Altos Daggett Street resident Matt Cadle and business partner Chris Krajacic joined together to open one of Long Beach's hottest new restaurants- Pier 76 Fish Grill on Ocean. Outgrowing the Ocean Ave space the award winning restaurant has moved to 95 Pine Street.

Situated at 1st and Pine, the new Pier 76 Fish Grill is located in the Landmark Towers.  Pier 76 shares the building with Rock Bottom Brewery-which is 1 block south on Pine and Ocean. The new Pier 76 location also comes with convenient validated parking (right next to the garage entrance)  in the Landmark Towers parking garage with an entrance straight from the garage into the restaurant. It is also conveniently located next to the Metro Blue Line Station.

Hip new outside dining on Pine

The new spacious Pier 76  interior  also features a hip Pine Ave outside dining area. 

Getting the restaurant up and running in time for the Grand Prix festivities has been a major undertaking.  Their old telephone number has not been switched over, so a temporary VIP number for take outs has been established.

That temporary VIP Pier 76  number is 562-912-7401(for the regular number see below) 

  

Matt and Chris met at Walt's Warf in Seal Beach when Chris was Executive Chief there and Matt worked for him. When Chris called Matt about opening up Pier 76, Matt jumped at the chance.

The concept for Pier 76 Fish Grill is fresh and healthy chef inspired seafood dishes at affordable prices.  The homemade blue cheese dressing and candied bacon are just a couple of the featured one-of-a-kind ingredients of the creative dishes.

Last year Culinary Long Beach Foodie Awards  awarded Pier 76 Fish Grill  one of 2013's Best New Restaurants.

Pier 76 has become a Yelp Super Star with over 360 reviews resulting in 4.5 (out of 5) Stars. (CLICK ON) : YELP

Matt and his wife Ashley, who just became proud new parents, live in the Los Altos Center Adjacent Neighborhood and look forward to their  Los Altos neighbors visiting the new restaurant for a change of pace and  scenery- and great food at reasonable prices.

Mayoral candidate Robert Garcia speaks at Los Altos "meet and greet" at Hoff's Hut

About fifteen Los Altos residents met with mayoral candidate Councilman Robert Garcia at the Los Altos Hoff's Hut on Monday evening March 25th.

Garcia announced the meeting in an email that listed several "meet and greets" across the city.

Topics at the Los Altos meeting included the Long Beach Port, pension reform, business friendliness, and balanced budgets.

Garcia also discussed his commitment to Long Beach and his life and immigrant roots.

The current city-wide illegal campaign sign controversy over the Garcia for Mayor signs was not brought up.

Today the Long Beach Register continued the days-long reporting on the Garcia controversy  CLICK ON: LB REGISTER

ILLEGAL Campaign Signs

Ilegal "Tagging" of Los Altos campaign style

Another round of illegal campaigning tagging...

Illegal campaign signs from Garcia's campaign blanket East Long Beach and whole city

Just a week after the Los Altos Center and the Bellflower Blvd. businesses were tagged with gang-style writing- another blight has hit the area- illegal campaign signs.

Last week another Orange County connected group plastered Long Beach with more illegal signs-this time supporting Robert Garcia for Long Beach mayor. ..

Gang style graffiti hits Los Altos

Gang style tagging all over Los Altos Center

  

Late Sunday March 9th, 2014 gang style  tagging was sprayed 

all over Los Altos Center and Corridor business properties and public properties along Bellflower Blvd.  

As of  Monday afternoon at this posting the graffiti  was still visible.

The tagging featured the initials ASTK and featuring two monikers "Acer" and "Slab". Similar tagging has been reported to the LB4D Blog at the Traffic Circle. 

The fact that such a large influx of tagging has not been seen for years in the Los Altos neighborhoods and the slow response of the city to clean it up has given some local residents cause for concern, especially in the wake of the large number of campaign mailers that have touted a reduction in crime.

More medical for Los Altos Center

More Los Altos Center retail going to medical

The Los Altos Center North will be getting a new dental office. Part of the former Whittaker Music's second space, the new Long Beach Smiles Dentistry will be opening in the space soon next to the new optometrist office. 

Medical and banking have taken over numerous retail spaces in the Los Altos Center.

The two medical offices join the Memorial Hospital walk-in clinic across the street in the Los Altos Center South that replaced the old Borders Bookstore. The former Big Boys turned Blockbuster building on Bellflower is now a Citibank.

Reportedly, the Los Altos Bellflower Corridor Wendy's and Sherman Williams pant store ( site of a former bank) will soon be gone to make way for a Walgreen's Pharmacy.
