Diners praise the unique experience of dining on the historic Queen Mary, with many highlighting the excellent service and specific dishes like the clam chowder and garlic roasted oysters.

"Outstanding experience from start to finish! The service was impeccable, and the food was exceptional.
We enjoyed a breathtaking view of Long Beach harbor while soaking up the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.
Visited for my birthday and was thoroughly impressed. The clam chowder was rich and flavorful, complete with whole clams. Absolutely delicious! The garlic roasted oysters were a standout, bursting with buttery and garlicky flavors reminiscent of my favorite charbroiled oysters in New Orleans.
Our steak was grilled to perfection, and the buttered bread rolls were irresistible – we couldn’t resist getting a second serving.
Overall, a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend making reservations in advance. They also offer half-off parking validation."

"Pretty good food. We got the clam chowder, wedge salad and shared the fish in chips. Everything was great. The views looking out are wonderful. Just very cool eating on such a historic ship."
Andrew Roberts
"Our youngest son has long wanted to see the Queen Mary. We made dinner reservations on the ship. Since we were dining, we didn't have to pay admission to the ship. After dinner we explored the ship and had a lot of fun. The food was delicious, but pricey. If you factor in what we didn't spend on admission, the restaurant was a bargain. Definitely recommend it if you're wanting to check out the ship."
