Tapas Restaurants near Anaheim, CA

“Excellent service, flavorful dish, and an incredible wine selection. The speak easy ambiance adds sophistication. Definitely a spot worth returning too. Cheers!“

“Being very honest:
The experience is highly desirable and then I read the reviews. People talk cool, I need to find out firsthand.

Food: adult food hit. Fork cut pork, picture perfect. Polenta I had for the first time it was quite tasty, unique. Broccolini cooked and crunchy. The two beers Sam Adam’s Winter Fest & Vespa Red wow I am going to try and find those at BevMo.
Now the kids burger… the only thing I can say is perhaps they end up, throwing away a lot of hamburgers and so they reduced the size of the hamburger to that of a slice of an orange. And oddly enough, the hamburger did not come with french fries nor did they even have french fries. I think Disney should create a magical french fry for this meal. Some kind of french fry that is amazingly healthy and looks just like a classic french fry but taste 1 billion times better…

The imagineers and staff were very cordial. I think they were just as confused about the orange slices and yogurt that came with the hamburger as I was but they happily play it off lol

The atmosphere is really nice and because it’s been really foggy, it looked really cool up there the view! The only thing that would have brought it to life, maybe just random characters walking around periodically… like characters you never see Steamboat Willie Mickey (b&w version) etc

We did also opt in for the World of Color show. We arrived at the last seating for dinner so it was a little tight getting down to our seats. Fortunately they packaged up my dessert! Granted, I did not eat the dessert until I came home, but it was still really good, but that’s why it’s on its side inside of a box. Totally worth it!

Note for Disney: after this dining experience, came home and we played Fortnite.“

“Trust is a restaurant that redefines all others. The concept of a pre-order and trust-us-you’ll-love-it concept for fine dining is absolutely brilliant. Love the family-dining setup where everybody sits at a L-shaped bar looking into the wonder that is the open style chef’s kitchen. The food is expertly inspired and impossibly delectable. Every dinner is different, and the variety keeps you craving more and more. The fantastic wine (and sometimes cocktail) pairing that goes with each 12+ course means you will need to Uber, because there’s no way you are leaving any of the wine in that glass. Trust’s sommelier is top-notch and paired each wine perfectly. The main draw here though is the chance to be regaled by Chef’s explanation of each course. It’s a night filled with irreverent, comedic, and incredible knowledgeable, such that you will come away feeling like you just attended a brash stand-up comedy about culinary genius. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience!“

“Delicious and decadent tapas“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“This is a restaurant you don’t want to miss!

Celebrated a birthday at Darkroom and honestly it was one of the most distinctive dining experiences we’ve had in Orange County.

The creativity, flavors, and energy of the place feel completely different from anything else in the OC.

I also love they offer a variety of NA options and mocktails. If they keep pushing at this level, a Michelin nomination would not surprise me at all.“

“Small plates. Nice, cozy vibes. Everything you could ask for in an izakaya. :) My friend and I made reservations in advance and came to the restaurant on a Thursday night, which was decently busy. I really liked the warm lighting and ambiance of the restaurant. Our server, Carolyn, was really nice. She apologized that several of the things we had wanted to order were not on the menu due to popular demand. We ordered a decent spread of food, including salad, sushi, udon, chicken karaage, and bulgogi. Everything was pretty good. The workers wrote my friend's name on a placard on the table and even gave us free vanilla ice cream for his birthday! The total came out to $60 for both of us, with tip. Standard food, nothing spectacular. I'd come back for the good vibes (cool anime wall murals!) and maybe to try some other dishes.“

“😃Bonito lugar,muy rica comida,y bonito ambiente,muy buena atención.“

Since my first experience she has been amazing I come back even by myself and she is the best I definitely recommend this place to for dinner with the fam. Or friends!“

“One of the secret gem in Orange. Delivering the finest Spanish and Italian cuisine. The cocktails and food are out of this world. Friendly service, and always on top of their game. .“

“I sometimes stop by this bar after work — either to grab a drink or have dinner after picking up groceries. Great atmosphere, wide selection of drinks, and it’s very convenient being right inside the same building. Always a nice spot to relax for a bit.“

“I went to Europe for two weeks and my entire time there I ate at a lot of tapas places. The only way to describe those places is that they felt like home, they felt warm and places that after a busy and stressful day of work you just want to sit there, rest, replenish and build back the courage to get back to business. Element felt just like that. In the heart of Santa Ana, the heart of Orange County, this place allows you to slow down through the business of life and recharge, laugh, connect with the local community and get right back to it. You can enjoy some incredible food that is cooked with precision and by a chief that enjoys his craft, you can drink some cocktails that have been carefully crafted to suit your needs and you can enjoy a community that cares about you and is proud of their upbringing. If you want to feel at home, if you want to feel refreshed and want to get a taste of the European fun while being close to home, Element is the place to be.“

“great place for dining....“

“The food is excellent - and I'm very picky about Mexican. The 3 of us all ordered very different entrees and shared the queso fundido. So so tasty and served with homemade flour tortillas. Thervice hoever, lacked just a tiny bit. Server didn't ask us if we wanted alcohol, and our dishes were not served all together. That was an awkward 5 minute gap. Lastly, asking us if we wanted more water was not asked, and the taking away of dishes meant i could not nibble on the balance of our queso. she was friendly enough and did bring out our dessert promptly. Definitely want to go back and try more dishes.“

“So good 😊 5 stars definitely recommend“

“amazing atmosphere! the crowd at the bar is the best in orange county. beat prices in town, great community, all the Regulars make you feel welcome!“

“Gurume has become a place we go to at least once a week, especially for lunch. Their lunch specials are a great deal, and most importantly, their food is very good. High quality at a great price. They are very accommodating for my son’s diet. Staff and service are always wonderful.“

“amazing as always the best“

“We had an awesome time there. The bartender was great! She really made us feel at home.“
