    We had a reservation through booked through OpenTable but when we got there, the door manager said that OpenTable opened up the reservations and he did not have room for us, but we could eat on the back patio. The back patio has zero ambience and had no music playing and was actually cold, even though it’s covered. the salad was mediocre. Something has changed with the food quality at this The food was reheated in a microwave, and when we returned it, they served us the same dishes, just reheated. We usually dine at The Quiet Woman since we live nearby, but the food quality has declined and the service was decent, but not exceptional.neighborhood but the quality has gone downhill and the service was good but not that great as well. Time to not go to the local watering hole anymore.

    We have been going to The Quiet Woman for a number of years but have not dined there since 2021, so it was good to get reacquainted. The restaurant ambiance is charming with old fashioned leather booths in full view of the energetic Bar Scene. For starters we had the Seafood Cocktail with Chilled Shrimp and Crab with a Cocktail sauce and the Salad Carousel. Both were excellent along with the Texas Toast Bread. For mains we got the delicious Filet and the Baseball Cut Prime Angus severed Teriyaki Style, both served with Mashed and Asparagus. To complete the meal we ordered the Banana Rama which was similar to a Banana Foster. The entire experience was delightful and I highly recommend The Quiet Woman.

    It's very loud inside because it's so small and it was very crowded, The booths are very small meaning that you have to be very skinny to sit inside those boots that was most uncomfortable lowdown and very tight, it would have probably been more comfortable to sit in the bar seating. The short rib with the noodles The noodles were very doughy they need to be cooked more and the short rib was a bit fatty that was inside of it, The short rib with a mashed potatoes are son enjoyed very much and my husband enjoyed the half a rack of lamb, We love the salad the way you guys serve it with all the goodies on the side and the garlic toast was great too, probably would have ate more if offered.

    this was our third visit to Quiet Woman and we had a new guest with us. There were 3 in our party. Each diner has a food allergy with 2 Gluten and 1 Dairy “Cow Milk”, in our party. Out server was knowledgeable and also double checked and ensured modifications of sauces and *no dairy* in bread crumb for Crabcake. Drinks are awesome as always! Very glad we dined with the Quiet Woman on this visit to CA from New Jersey.

    Loved this small locals OC restaurant that I saw while watching the housewives show. The booths are very cozy, the service was impressive because it’s a small place and they aren’t running 500 miles an hour to catch up. Loved the food, everything we ordered was shared and the only thing we didn’t love were the meat bites. Wine was excellent. Loved this place!

    It was our first return to Quiet Woman since the pandemic and even though we told the waitress how much we were looking forward to the lazy susan salad, she neglected to tell us it was no longer included with an entree! She made up for it by giving us salad on the house after she had mixed up our steak order and the salad was the best part of the meal. We were disappointed in 2 out of the 3 entrees. I don’t recommend their steaks.
