The Sky Room, Long Beach's storied rooftop supper club, has reopened after a major remodel, once again serving multi-course dinners with sweeping ocean views. Chef Maxwell Pfeiffer is running the kitchen, blending Old Hollywood supper-club nostalgia with a modern coastal spin. The comeback is part of a larger restoration of the Breakers property that aims to recapture the landmark's 1930s-era glamour.

Why it matters

The Sky Room has long been a celebrated part of Long Beach's dining and social scene, known as a low-key celebrity hangout with its sweeping ocean views. Its reopening is seen as a marquee piece of a broader downtown revival that is pulling more weekend visitors and events toward the waterfront.

The details

The menu leans into classic supper-club comforts while making room for contemporary seafood and seasonal small plates. Options include hiramasa crudo, Iberian pork presa, duck à l'orange, oysters Rockefeller, and Parker House rolls. The restaurant is also highlighting a "classic but show-stopping menu" and a private-dining program tailored to tasting menus and tableside service.

  • The Sky Room officially reopened under Fairmont management on November 19, 2024, after a multi-year restoration.
  • Chef Maxwell Pfeiffer recently walked reporters through some of the room's top dishes on a televised segment.
