“Loved this hand roll spot! Super fresh ingredients, warm rice, and crispy seaweed—everything hit the mark. The staff were friendly, the vibe was chill, and the rolls came out fast. Great place to grab a few bites and hang out. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Finney’s Crafthouse in Brea is an absolute favorite! The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, making it a perfect spot to hang out with friends or enjoy a casual night out.
The food is outstanding—everything from the burgers to the appetizers is packed with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients. Their craft beer selection is impressive, offering something for everyone to enjoy.
The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who make sure you have a great experience from start to finish. Whether you're there for food, drinks, or both, Finney’s Crafthouse never disappoints. Highly recommended!“

“Service was fast and excellent, the ambiance was fascinating and really makes for a special evening, the drinks were so fun to watch them make, smoked drinks especially. The patio was large and lots of seating. The food was fresh and delicious. Great place for a date or night out with friends !“

“We had a blast it was great for date night and hung out with friends“

“Definitely recommend. Walked in and instantly loved the decor and vibes. The bartender was super friendly and amazing. The drinks were delicious and strong just how I love them. We went on a crafting and karaoke night.“

“The food here is always good, we also like the drinks they make. My only complaint would be all the little flies flying around it gets a little annoying. They need to bring back the creme brulee. Otherwise its a great place to grab some food and drinks.“

“It’s a wonderful place to hang“

“Best bar in California hands down!“

“Just ate the most amazing chicken sandwich and the Best Onion Rings EVER! !!!!!“

“Great place for a good time“

“Bartender Jonny was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Affordable drinks. Plenty of TVs. 3 pool tables. 1 juke box. Plenty of interesting characters. Give it a shot.“

“Atmosphere is that of a fun. Karaoke sometimes. Great Dive bar! The food is great too, they have a good special $11 for a beer and a smash burger. I highly recommend it. Nothing on draft but that’s okay because Amanda is hot (with enough drinks). The smash burgers are bomb and the service is sometimes friendly and sometimes mean and that’s the perfect ratio!“

“Good times, good drinks, a fun group of people that make it a party!“

“Bartender on Sundays is chill“

“Always a good time love this place“

“The small restaurants were very good and clean. I also loved the food there! A little overpriced but great food. Overall would recommend to eat with friends“

“Bartender (Madlynn?) was very pretty and welcoming. Vibe was what I expect at a sportsbar and plenty of parking. When the Angels game started, I asked and they immediately threw the game on. No Complaints. If it was closer to home, I would be here all the time.“

“no food just regular little snacks. If you wanna eat something eat something before you go, but Roberta is an absolute Saint. She may seem kind of direct to you, but she’s very kind and a very wonderful person and a great bar Owner. It’s a really nice cool chill atmosphere to be out. There is one of my favorite places to be at without stupid people being around. Roberta makes it happen.“

“Excelente place , delicious food and cocktails 🍹 Plus the services is a 5 ⭐️ i will definitely go back to el matatan 🙌“

“Shout out to Baran Mediterranean restaurant. We had a superbowl/ 50th birthday party yesterday and everything was literally perfect. Food/staff/ decorations/ cake, everything was perfect. There's nothing I would change or do differently. We had a party of 80 and everyone has been texting today saying how good the food was. Go try them out, you won't regret it. Owners are pretty amazing too, super friendly and down to earth. Thank you Baran!!!!❤️“

“Bday! Great place and brought me a cupcake with candle!!!“

“Amazing!! The food is exquisite every single dish plate takes you back to the real Mexican flavor. The service is very nice 👍🏼
Maybe is me, but the music is a little loud only. Everything else is wonderful thank you for feeding us “El Sol 626”
Also the churro dessert was the bomb🥰“

“Great menu with lots of diversity...there is something for everyone. We usually go with 3 to 4 people in our party and often share because that allows us to try more of the menu and we have always enjoyed each and every item we have selected from the menu. Beer selection is great...almost as large as the food menu. I have always had good service at all of the Finney's I have been to for lunch or dinner... Orange, Brea and Camarillo. Great restaurant!! I would highly recommend you try it...you will not be disappointed.“

“straight to the point. this place is outstanding from the food to the service to the ambience 100% satisfied special thank you to our server gracie. she did a excellent job“

“Great food. Great service. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Place was clean.“

“The Hangar Steak was delicious as was everything“

“Came here Sunday, with my partner as she wanted to grab a seafood boil. Coming inside seems pretty chill moderate noise where you can hear everything around but still can be able to converse with the people sitting at the table with you. Anyhow we got the combo for two with snow crabs and crawfish and add headless shrimp to the mix as well boiled eggs.
We got the appetizer which were chicharrón , gumbo and chicken tenders as well 6pc raw oysters.

The chicharrón came out first which to me 7/10 had a lot of Chili seasoning bit sour but crunchy

Second that came was the gumbo 9/10 flavorful as well was good with the chicharrón

Then came the seafood boil that came in the bags but what was forgotten was the boiled eggs we got them after a couple bites into the seafood. 9.5/10 definitely flavorful and the medium spice is not to spicy to have ur nose runny and unbearable to eat

Then came the raw oysters wish they did it steam tho would have made it great honestly. But it was still decently good.

The drinks I got an Arnold Palmer but that had to be the most awfullest drink I’ve ever had. Idk if it’s the machine or what it is but it was just disgusting
The orange Fanta my gf had taste carbonated.

Overall it was a good experience beside the drinks, but they also provide you these tokens to play at the claw machine and if u win a stuff you have it added to ur plate which was what I was told by my gf.

Service, it was pretty decent not above and beyond but still pretty great and tolerable.“

“We relaxed and enjoyed the end of a busy day here and the gentleman who served us let us know as we paid our tab it was his first day. He was professional and very pleasant. Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“

“We came during Valentine’s Day and was pleasantly surprised with the experience - from delicious and quite good portion of food to attentiveness in service. Patricio was our server and he was very attentive, checking in on us right after the food were delivered.“

“excelente customer service!! The food was amazing, not to say the portions were the best... A definitely must go and try.“

“Great service, food was great, we were helped right away, no waiting, service was timely, the only thing we wished it was different is the size of the tacos, they are kind of small for the price, but they are good, we enjoyed it, everything else we ordered was satisfying, specially the steak frites and the brownie sunday!“

“Food was great , portions were huge , quality was top notch , Alaskan king crab legs were massive , staff very friendly and grateful for your business. Will def return“

“In our first visit the owner Eddie took care of us. We went to watch the Euro Cup game. I asked Eddie can you put the sound so we can hear the game and he said of course. The place is very family oriented. Food is excellent. Everything about that place is excellent.“

“I was at The Richland for the ASID Gala & thoroughly enjoyed the venue. The space is lovely & uniquely laid out with multiple areas & rooms. The food & service were terrific.“

“This a spot you should pay a visit if you’re in Anaheim. It feels like a genuine crafthouse, which sets it apart to the disney-atmosphere most bars have here. The burgers are so-so good: high quality and tastful rather than just greasy and overly large portions. The beer selection is huge: over 30 local brews from tap. Happy hour seems quite busy, possibly best to avoid (16:00-17:00).“

“Yang Ming is a very special place for my family and I. I got engaged in Yang Ming. My family and I go there for every celebration. Their hot and sour soup is one of the most comforting foods I've had. Most of the older staff knows our family and is amazing to us. The food is the best!“

“Great place to have some beers, and play some pool, or watch a game.“

“Great food! I always get a mushroom taco there - they have great! mushrooms!!“

“We came here 2 days back to back and was definitely not disappointed the first day we just wanted to try the place out and ordered the pork belly sliders and a brisket Mac n cheese. Both were amazing but… the next morning we came to get brunch and ordered the chili verde breakfast burrito along with the tri tip breakfast bowl and I must say that had to be the best breakfast burrito I have ever had! Plus the sauce with the salsa they give you for that bowl was delicious!!! I’m just upset that the brunch is not year around“

“Excellent service great views awesome food“

“The New Years Eve Party at the Top of The V was absolutely amazing. My new wife and I got married earlier in the day and this was the best way to end our first day as husband and wife with some of our friends, having delicious food, drinks, dancing throughout the night and enjoying the Disneyland fireworks at midnight to bring in the new year. The hosts, servers, chefs and bartenders were very attentive, and the DJ provided a great night of music to dance to. I would definitely recommend this event!“

“Started the new year off here with an early pre-dinner outing. Hostess was kind and welcoming. Georgina was an excellent server with great recs. Bartenders made the drinks just right, not too strong and not too juice forward. Fried olives were tasty! Not too loud inside. Lighting was okay. Not too dim. Such a neat experience!“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good spot for Mexican food in Orange. We had the guac and salsa with chips, the Caesar salad and the carnitas platter, and all were really solid. Maybe a little more upscale for Mexican than my taste, but definitely good. Easy to make reservations on OpenTable before you roll up.“

“Rise Rooftop Lounge So Cool. My Friend Sophia Is A Great Singer In YouTube & Live Music. My Girlfriend Julie & I Are Really Love To See The View In Disneyland Fireworks.“

“Very great service, Alfredo the manager is one of a kind. Congratulations to the whole team!!!! 😃😃😃“

“Absolutely loved macho nachos, Korean style wings, hot dogs with bacon excellent“

“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 have been eating at Mandarin Taste since I was 4 years old. Since when they used to have to polaroid pictures taped to the wall where you waited for your seat. Since the shopping center was a thriving place for business.
I have been gone from the area for years now, but I came home over the summer and after a shopping trip at Brea Mall, I craved some Szechwan beef and nostalgia. Upon walking in, we noticed some small changes. The polaroid pictures are gone (mines was up there!) but everything else was exactly the same. Including the staff. They have of course aged as we all have, but I remember them in their younger years. We ordered all our old favorites. The pu-pu platter, chow mein, fried rice, and Szechwan beef. All of it tasted exactly the way it did the last time we had it. The consistency of this place is insane and much appreciated. The service was good too. I don't have any issues with Mandarin Taste and we always had great food and a good time here over so many years. Graduations, births, birthdays, and job promotions. All celebrated here. It made me sad to see the shopping center as desolate as it was. In the 80's and 90's, it was a busy place and again, many memories being there. I'm glad to see that Mandarin Taste has been able to remain and among so much change, they have been able to stay the same. Thanks for the memories. Please support this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.“
