    A&O is always a good choice. You can never go wrong with this place. We had steak and lobster and some delicious appetizers. It is expensive but it is worth it for a nice dinner by the water.

    The server was lovely and gave a good recommendation for the meal choice. Service was very very slow though. I waited an hour after I finished my meal for my plate to be taken and to order desert. Desert was not worth the wait. I ordered the bill when I ordered the desert because I knew service was so slow. I asked for the bill three times and it still took nearly an hour to arrive. The server really was lovely though.

    What an amazing place to have brunch. The food is amazing and the staff is top notch. Overlooking the boats in harbor is an add on bonus. One of my favorite spots in Orange County.

    Went there with my family for bday celebration. Specifically put notes for "bday celebration" for reservation but since a like the server is not aware of it any at all. The hostess is not friendly either. We also ordered the kid meal which includes appetizer and dessert, but only entry is serviced. And we still got charged for the same amount. We had to remind the server so they finally brought out appetizer and dessert. Overall Disappointed.
