   The service here is top notch. Granted it was a Monday night and not too busy but from the welcoming host at the door and the table service it was like meeting new friends that were so happy we were there. The booths are comfortable and cozy. Drinks were nicely made. The hot buns are a must!

   The food is delicious. We both had the eggs Benedict with bacon and a very generous mimosa. Restaurant is beautiful and the music is great, but not so loud at brunch. It was difficult to have a conversation with the extreme volume. I understand this vibe for happy hour and weekend nights, but not for brunch. It needs to be lowered so people can enjoy the ambience.

   I went here for a birthday party and had one of the worst dining experiences ever. I called ahead to confirm that I could bring a cake, and they said it was fine. When we arrived, they took the cake and put it in the back refrigerator, which seemed fine… until it was time to serve it. The waitress literally brought it out still in the box and just plopped it on the table. No effort whatsoever. To make matters worse, the waitress spent most of the evening hanging out at the bar, doing shots with the bartender, instead of checking on our table. We had to hunt her down multiple times just to get basic service. And then, on top of all that, we were forced to give a 20% tip — for what? Ignoring us and partying behind the bar? Completely unprofessional. I would never recommend this place to

   We love it there. Staff is incredibly friendly and attentive even as they get busy. Great food and drinks. The only thing that I won’t order again is the beef taco. This is the second time it’s tasted like fish. Not sure if it’s the grill or fryer or what but yuck. Everything else is fabulous. We are regulars.

   Went here for the first time on Saturday for OC restaurant week. We did their 3 course special and it was fantastic. The grilled little gem salad is great as was the hamachi starter. We also orders the rolls which everyone liked. For dinner two of us had the steak frites and the other two had the salmon. Being gluten intolerant I couldn’t eat the dessert (or rolls) but opted to take the fruit tart home ( one of the choices) for family later. My husband loved the bread pudding which is typically not his thing. The cocktails were also good. We liked the vibe of the place (21 and older), decor, and our waitress was fantastic. She checked on us several times and was very responsive. Overall we’ll be back to try some other menu options or just have a drink and appetizers. Always good to try something new during restaurant week!

    My bf and I came for O.C. Restaurant Week and to see why this place has such good reviews and it was easy to tell why! 1st Course we shared one each of the Hamachi Carpaccio (Buttermilk Ponzu, Cucumber, Pickled Veg, Citrus Micros, Aleppo Oil….Exceptional!) and the Grilled Gem Salad (Green Goddess Dressing, Crispy Cheese, Toasted Pistachio, Marinated Baby Heirloom Tomatoes…so tasty!) and for good measure we added a half dozen oysters! For the 2nd Course we each had the NY Steak Frites - Achiote Marinated NY Crosscut Strip, Truffle hummus Parmesan Fries…savory deliciousness!) 3rd Course we had one each Seasonal Tart Caramelized White Chocolate Bread pudding - Bourbon Caramely. Ambiance was ambiancing and the service was top notch!
