Long Beach recs

I need recommendations for dinner in Long Beach Saturday night. My parents are meeting my bf's parents for the first time! Probabaly steak/seafood , or Italian is the safest bet. Something upscale but not too stuffy? Nothing too loud and bar-ish. Preferably by the water. Any ideas?

    thanks for the suggestions! Of course, they just changed the meeting place to Newport Beach, so back to the drawing board. I'm a little more familiar with that area though.

    Still dying to try Trachts... i love Jar!

      tracht's is a good suggestion, but I'd go with 555.
