My wife and I celebrated our Anniversary at Blind Pig. We loved it! The ambiance was very warm and relaxing. Our server, Cali, was kind and attentive the entire time. The food was outstanding!!! We got the Burrata, the Bacon wrapped dates and the Steak and everything was perfect and tasted amazing! The food arrived quite quickly. We really enjoyed dining at the Blind Pig!

We split a Wedge salad, which was the highlight. My wife ordered shrimp appetizer, which she found a little too spicy for her. I ended up eating most of the shrimp. I looked forward to the lamb kebab appetizer. The serving was generous, however the lamb was chewy and flavorless. Amanda, our waitress was very accommodating and friendly. She asked if we enjoyed our meal. I made the comment about the lamb. To my suprise, we were not billed for the lamb. We found the restaurant a little too noisy for us (we are elderly) and we had an annoying fly buzzing in and about.

Interesting menu but the preparation lacks. Perhaps we ordered the wrong items. The coconut shrimp was overcooked and tough. The chilaquiles were spicy but uninspired. Loved the burrata with the jam and toast. Best item we tried. Prices are a bit hefty for the amount of food provided but it is, after all, Rancho Santa Margarita. Great views from the patio and that may be enough for most diners. Most popular we noticed was the all you can handle mimosas.

Beautiful patio with a lake view. The food was good, not great but good, drinks were delicious, but our server was very nice but inattentive, took forever to get the drinks and food. Restaurant was not packed, so??? I don’t think we’ll go back.

My husband and I used come here often when we lived in the neighborhood. It was so nice to return to The Blind Pig for a date night after a long week of work. As usual the drinks are great! The food was yummy, and our servers were extremely nice and welcoming. Recommend the buratta and squash pasta. Delicious and comforting food. High quality. Any drink is good. If your outside in the evening, with a lake view, bring your sunglasses and relax enjoy the sunset.
