Best Fun Restaurants in Orange

Excellent service; excellent food. Our waitress had the timing just right. We both had eggplant fries.......a surprisingly tasty start .......and then Angle Hair Spaghetti with chicken. Light but satisfying. They always do a splendid job of the Angle Hair. Great flavor combinations.

Great service, food and atmosphere. Love this place!

4/5 Stars The food and atmosphere at Smoqued were great — definitely lived up to the hype. It was surprisingly slow for a Friday night, most likely due to Coachella weekend, so we were expecting a more relaxed vibe. Regardless burnt ends are to die for and the brisket meal is tender and delicious. Mac N cheese was slightly dry, but hey you can’t win em all. We’re not sure who our server was since she never introduced herself, which made things feel a bit impersonal. She was incredibly sweet and kind, but seemed a little unfamiliar with the menu and forgot parts of our order. It’s possible it was just an off night, but when it comes to service, it’s the little details that make the biggest difference. All that said, we’d still come back — the food alone is worth another visit.

A very nice restaurant with a killer view of Disney California Adventures at night. The Paella or bomba rice as they call it was excellent even thonthe bottom aka the socarrat was closer to burnt that crispy...still tasted goods when I mixed it all up. Best grilled octopus I've ever had and I'm a chef/Owner of a restaurant in Hawaii. The steak was nothing special, just a plainly grilled with some big salt flakes on the side of the plate. Have to pay $5 per sauce you want with it such a clarified butter, romesco, or green romesco which I ordered. The pork chop which I ordered medium came out a bit overcooked on top of some reduced balsamic glaze that comes in a bottle, I know because I use the same thing at my place. The sea bass I ordered came out a bit overcooked also and the flavor was nothing special. Like a Japanese shio style. The patata braves was nothing special just fried potatoe cubes with some sauces. The croquettes were very good but the portion was on the way too small side. And the green salad was actually good. I gave them 4 stars even tho it sounds like I wasn't satisfied because I'm a chef/Owner so I'll nitpick but the opinions and reaction from the rest of my party was good. They liked it.

Good service and beef fajitas are excellent, my friend birthday celebration we have a good time.
