Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in La Palma

A creative prix fixe menu did not disappoint. Highlights of our December dinner were the shrimp & dip and octopus skewers, seared diver scallop and mussels and four way duck. Service was friendly and efficient. The repurposed interior of this craftsman style home is light, simple and open, creating a casual dining experience. We opted to share a single wine pairing, which featured a variety of exciting and offbeat California wines. Valet parking is available but we were able to find street parking close by in this crowded residential neighborhood. Heritage is a standout in the local Long Beach/North Orange area. We are looking to return when the new menu arrives in 2025.

Our meals were wonderful! Our choices were: Meatballs and Burrata appetizer, Short Rib Tagliatelle, Lasagne al Forno, Brussels sprouts, and mini-cannoli for dessert. The appetizer held two generous sized meatballs to share. Our meals were a step away from traditional Italian, while retaining the flavors essential to both those dishes. Our service was attentive without being intrusive. Our mini cannolis were just the right amount of sweet to round out the evening. You won't find a better meal in all of Whittier. I highly recommend Four bricks!

Excellent food. So so service. Outdoor patio poorly furnished, needs to be spruced up.
