   Clearly one of the best restaurants in Orange County! Excellent cuisine and exceptional service. Life is too short to miss this experience.

   We dine out a lot in OC and LA. This restaurant is pretentious, overpriced and frankly scary. After being seated our server asked us if we had any allergies. One of our party is gluten intolerant. I was impressed at the thoughtful gesture, and asked if the lamb meatballs were gluten free. He said “YES” and left and we didn’t see him again for 15 minutes. So 20 to 25 minutes into our dining experience all we were offered water. No bread no appetizer, little attention. The lamb meatballs did contain gluten. The server obviously didn’t know the menu and it could have led to disastrous results! At this point I called the Maitre De. He suggested a suitable dish was about to leave but realizing our server still wasn’t around took our order. Two dishes of the six dishes we ordered were good. The octopus and bass. The lasagna was dry as if it had been sitting out for sometime and reheated. The halibut was hot and slightly overcooked and to my astonishment the server poured lukewarm sauce over it. A second server poured a sauce over my bass and spilled it on the side of my wine glass and on the table top: he just left it. I’m not sure how long this restaurant has been open but in order to live up to the image it’s trying to portray, its pricing as well exposing itself to potential liability, needs much more refinement and better service including servers who know the menu.

   We celebrated my wife’s birthday with the 5 course meal and it was such a pleasant and delicious experience! All of the courses were beautifully crafted and absolutely delectable for the palate, catering both ambitious and wonderfully paired flavors. My personal favorite was the seafood course. The halibut is to die for. I’m VERY excited for my next experience here

   The restaurant was inviting and beautiful. The staff was attentive. However the food was not good. The bread was microwaved before being brought to the table , so was super hot and a bit soggy - was difficult to eat. Once it cooled it became rock hard. I ordered the radicchio salad and it was swimming in balsamic vinegar. It came with Gorgonzola cheese and while I love balsamic and cheese, there was so much of both that it was too strong. We ordered the scallop and it had an amazing presentation, but the sauce overpowered the scallop and all we could taste was vinegar. I ordered the gnocchi and again they looked amazing but when I ate one it was cold. I don’t know if they were prepared way in advance and were supposed to warm up with the sauce but they didn’t. Finally my husband had the halibut. It was cooked well except for the center which was not firm but mushy. I have never had so many misses at one restaurant. I don’t know if the issue was with inexperienced cooks or we just went on an off night.

   Good food. Creative drinks. Very clean. Service was smooth. Had crudo - highly recommend and we had pasta dishes - all pasta was made in house. I got the Agnolotti which is like these little ravioli pillow pasta things that were light and tasty. My friend got Tonnarelli di Mare which had a large enough portion to take some home. Only thing I cant figure out is why there weren't more people. Full beautiful bar, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, parking is always so-so at so-co. Hope you get to try it cause I'd like for them to stay in business. Need more local fancy places like this for great w with great friends.

    Food was tasty but portions are small and expensive. Had the ribeye which was masquerading as a filet medallion. I don’t see this place making it unless they change their menu approach. Service was excellent however.
