I love this restaurant. I always use here for my business lunch because the room is quiet, cozy and food tastes good. My overall review, however, is 4 stars this time because when I called the restaurant that we would be a little late, the restaurant didn't have my reservation. Even I had made the reservation through opentable and it gave me the reservation reminder the day before. (It was not a problem though because the restaurant was not busy) More

Happy Hour

Great dinner! We ordered the braised shortrib (fork-tender and delicious) and Branzino (crispy skin and yummy sides). Wine was great. . .as usual. Service? Could Not Have Been More Perfect!!! My mom is "dairy-free" so they made her a special sorbet and fruit dessert; very light and refreshing. Promise to be back soon! More

Great little spot located in the harbor. The dining area opens in the back to the harbor providing an intimate feel while still being open and airy. Nice wine list. Food was great. The are adding liquor soon which was the only missing piece. If you are looking for a good date night, this should be on your list. More

Buffer is always great food. This time we brought a guest and the selection was too heavy on the Cuban food and not enough variety. The waitress was pleasant and did check back but not often enough for water refills and extra napkins... Outside is a tad bit noisier and the tables and chairs are too Close you really are stuck in your chair until you can ask the people behind you to please let you out. Really poor placement of tables and chairs. More

Steakhouse | Costa Mesa, North Orange County

We celebrated our wedding anniversary and we had Lindsay as our server. She was extraordinarily fantastic! The steaks were excellent but we did not enjoy the potatoes an gratin. It seems to be hit or miss on dishes so order items that are familiar to you. The restaurant did an awesome job of celebrating our anniversary anniversary with a card, a rose & decorations to our table. This is a wonderful place for celebrating a special occasion! More

I requested the outside area, which was maybe not as special and unique as I would have liked. It was loud even though it was very small, and not as intimate as I thought. The crispy duck apps are a MUST. Absolute one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. We also go the ribeye steak which was cooked to absolute perfection. Wine/cocktail/beer list is wonderful. Service is spot on. Great place for any night. More

Discover Orange County

Located in the sunny state of California, Orange County is known for its many tourist attractions. Considering that Orange County consists of 34 cities and is more populous than 21 U.S. states, you can bet the attractions include not only the best surfing beaches, the Balboa ferry, and sites like Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland but also a huge selection of restaurants. The warm climate enhances the growth of fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, which can be found in many restaurants. Although iconic California foods like Rocky Road ice cream and sourdough bread may have originated in other CA cities, they’re also popular in Orange County. Fast food places, drive-ins, and Korean barbecues are popular in this area, too. Smoothies in the summer, however, take the cake.
