A word from Summit House Restaurant

For Centuries the English Inn has earned a great reputation for Friendly faces, cozy rooms and cheery firesides. As soon as guests come to the Inn, the charming host and hostesses run to greet them. In front of a crackling fire one can partake of good hearty fare - the tankard is always full -… the spit hung with roasting beefs - and a table heaped with sweets and such. The Inn keepers of the Summit House were inspired by the custom to create a hospitable place where friends could meet to eat, drink and delight in the views of North Orange County's countryside. To one and all, welcome!Continued

Diner Reviews

"I took a friend for dinner and we enjoyed it. The prime rib was excellent and I loved the beet salad. He enjoyed his filet mignon. I did think it was 'pricey' for what you got and, felt that charging for individuals 'little bottles' of soft drinks was tacky. But, overall , we had a pleasant evening."

"We have been to this restaurant before and chose it for our 16th wedding anniversary. The food was delicious and we were very appreciative of the acknowledgement of our anniversary with the delicious dessert to top our meal off with."

"Great place for a special occasion. It is up on a hill overlooking the city. We had the steak and chicken dinners, which were flavorful and perfectly prepared. Our server was personable and attentive. We even got a card and free dessert for our anniversary."

"This is a beautiful restaurant! The experience is grand from start to finish. The only reason I don't come here more often is that the food is too pricey for what you get. The salad and cup of soup that I had were tasty and the service was excellant. I just don't care to spend twenty five dollars, excluding tax and tip, on it."

"We always go to the Summit House for special occasions. We love it there & highly recommend it."

"For the past few years my wife and I chose to celebrate our wedding anniversary at Summit House. The service is always great and this last visit we were fortunate to have Monica. Her attention to our evening was nothing short of stellar, so much so that we made it a point to tell the manager on our way out. It is such a pleasure to be able to enjoy great food and a wonderful view with a waitress as professional and attentive to detail as Monica. She truly is a superior asset to this trusted establishment!"

"Been here several times for special occasions in the last couple years. The food and the service are consistently very good. Great prime rib and steaks. My wife usually gets fish and she is always pleased. Portions are nice. This is a popular place and typically requires a reservation. The main dining room can get a little loud. It's a great place for a birthday dinner or business luncheon. Never had anything but a good experience here."

"We were there early on a Friday night(5:30) and the restaurant was already filling up. The service was excellent as was the food. I had the Chilean Sea Bass and I think that may have been the best piece of fish I have ever eaten. It was our 44th wedding anniversary and the staff was lkind enough to bring us a card and to provide dessert for us. I highly recommend The Summit House."

"A wonderful place for a special evening out. The food is consistently excellent. I'm pleased they have added some healthier selections on the menu. We don't go there often, only when we want to celebrate something special. It never fails us. We love it!"

"The aged filet was very tender and the cream corn is a real treat. I've also had their signature prime rib which is the best in the area. The view is fabulos with great service."

"The restaurant really made the evening special, from an anniversary card signed by all the staff to dessert with candles and a chocolate that said happy anniversary. The food was outstanding and the service was just great!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
"As always, a superb dinner. Our table was ready right on time, flowers I'd ordered were waiting on the table as requested, there was an anniversary card from the restaurant at our table, and everything combined to make it a memorable anniversary! I had their prime rib, awesome as always, and my wife had one of their specials for the evening. Both were excellent! Food and service were top-notch. We were seated just over the wall to the bar and right next to the piano player--which was perfect, as we could hear his lovely playing well but it was not so loud we couldn't converse easily. Highly recommend Summit House for your next special night out!"

"We went there for my Birthday with a large party and eveything was great. The only thing is that they did not offer the Wednesday night Prime Rib special, we had to ask. Otherwise the overall experience was excellent."
Dined on 5/28/2014
"The prime rib was beautifully prepared (excellent taste), but the swordfish was overcooked (with a weird & funny taste). The service was very good. We ended up leaving early because some unruly kids were way too loud and we couldn't even hear our own conversations."
Dined on 6/15/2014
"We are happy to have this so close to home (< 2 miles) but service could be better. Food was good and ambiance and view are nice for a special occasion."
Dined on 6/15/2014
"The food was average. No comparison to lawrys or stinking rose in Beverly Hills. Lack of service, we waited for quite some time for our water glass to be fill. However, the atmosphere is great for a romantic date or special occasion."
Dined on 6/15/2014
"Thank you for making for our dinner such a wonderful experience, and my young sons' first fine-dining experience memorable. They are still thanking my husband and I for taking them a couple of days ago. Our waiter Misael, and the support staff were so accommodating, and friendly. This was not my husband's and my first time here, but it was the first time we took our sons (11yrs & 7 yrs). I'm so happy we chose the Summit House to celebrate my graduation. I look forward to many more special occassions here, along with the creamed corn....Scrumptious!"

"My husband took me to the Summit House for my birthday. It as lovely. When we arrived at our booth, there's was a birthday card already at the table signed by all of the staff. It was a nice touch. I started with the French onion soup, which was outstanding (very hearty). I then had the prime rib, which was excellent. I personally didn't care for the sides that came with it, but it was a personal taste - I just wish there would have been a choice. My husband had the braised short rib and that too was very good. The restaurant also provided a complimentary homemade strawberry shortcake type dessert for my birthday which was very good. They definitely know how to make you feel special."
Dined on 6/12/2014
"Certainly not cheap, but very much worth the price - perfect for that special event that needs to feel REALLY special"
Dined on 6/13/2014
"We have come here often for Birthdays and Special Occassions. Generally the service and food are good. It did not disappoint both were good in this instance as well. We had the Chef's selection of Cheese and also found this to be very good. I'm on a very low carb diet and they nicely accomidated my food requests. The only distration this particular time was we were seated in one of the back rooms and the noise level was very high. I said energic up above, but it was at times a bit unconfortable. We mentioned this to the staff and their response was the resturant was a bit busy. My sense is the density of tables and chairs for that room has increased and low cellings really enhance the noise, all the seating was taken."

"Family went to the summit house for Prime Rib Wednesdays. Our waitress was outstanding and the food was delicious."

"Everything was great. The cheese platter was great fun to try, my prime rib was perfection, my husband's filet was great, and the desserts were delicious, portions are very generous. Can't wait to go back."

"Great ambiance and food was great, although pricey. Great for that 'Special' Occasion."

"The restaurant staff is very friendly. It has a great view of Orange County and is very nice for special occasions. They have a unique way to recognize the special occasion and the desert they give you is excellent."

"Thank you so much for making my husband's birthday really special. He was surprised to get an unexpected birthday card from Summit House. We got a table closed to the window and definitely made the evening enjoyable. The dinner was always delicious and good quality. We will be back :-)"
Dined on 6/6/2014
"I was so excited to go and celebrate a special occassion. Wish I would have gone somewhere else instead. Food just okay. My filet had some kind of sauce, I mean who does that to steak. Way too much garlic in potatoes. Ahi tuna not very good. Dessert not impressed. And service way too slow and not good."
Dined on 6/6/2014
"We enjoyed a traditional prime rib dinner at the Summit House; prime rib, creamed corn and spinach, and Yorkshire pudding. It is difficulty to imagine how the food could have been improved. The service as very good. We were seated promptly upon arrive, our order taken in a timely manner and the food arrived in a brief amount of time (the prime rib prepared as ordered). The only mild disappointment was the lack of a window table. Perhaps open table should characterize this restaurant as "casual elegant" rather than "fine dining" but this is a minor observation."

"Love the fixed price lunch menu - nice selection of items to chose from - the prime rib and the french dip were both sensational. Service is always outstanding here and today was no exception. Job well done. "

"The food was fabulous, service was impeccable! My boss and I went for lunch, sat outside, enjoyed the view. We ordered the lunch special and it was so filling and at a great price! Would recommend to everyone!"

"Very good higher end restaurant. The food was very good and very well prepared. The prime rib was excellent! The service was also very good and attentive with personable and courteous staff. The atmosphere is generally dark woods/English influence and there was a piano player softly playing background music (Sunday evening, not sure if there is a piano going every day or not)"
Dined on 6/1/2014
"The rib eye steak that i ordered costs me $55 +tax + tips but its meat quality is much inferior to other major steakhouses charging similar price. In particular my steak has so much chewy connective tissues that i had spent a lot of effort cutting."
Dined on 5/25/2014
"It is never a disappointment dining at Summit House. The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff shows customer service at its best and the food as always was delicious. The prime rib just melts in your mouth and the deserts are spectacularly plated. It was a wonderful experience!"

"Dining ant the Summit House is always a treat for my wife and I. The food is great, atmosphere is awesome and the view of the OC isn't bad either. "

"Our second visit to the Summit House. Food is outstanding, service prompt and non-intrusive, prices, while a bit expensive, seem to be in line with other outstanding restaurants. We already are making plans for a return visit. Highly recommend. "
