Been there twice the last 2 weeks and we had such a great experience. All the food we ordered was very flavorful, and the we ordered a large variety. Was told that they change their menu every 3-4 mos. The Winter Old Fashioned with smoked cinnamon was a hit!

✨ Five-Star Experience at Griffin ✨
We had an absolutely wonderful evening at Griffin, a newer addition to the dining scene (just about a year old) that already feels like a local gem. The concept is a perfect blend of elevated foodie flair with the comfort and approachability of a modern pub—small bites, bold flavors, and a thoughtful menu.
From the moment we arrived, the hospitality stood out. One of the co-owners generously brought us a tequila he helped develop, which was such a fun and unexpected treat. He also shared a small portion of one of their oxtail dishes, both of which showed just how much care and creativity the team pours into their food.
Every dish we ordered was outstanding. The Wagyu beef was incredibly tender and flavorful—truly scrumptious. And the meatball small plate was a standout: a perfectly balanced blend of beef and pork, served with toast that made every bite comforting and delicious.
To top it all off, it happened to be Mr. Griffin’s birthday, and although part of the restaurant was reserved for the celebration, we were still treated with such kindness. He even surprised us with a sorbet ice cream dessert, which was the sweetest finishing touch to an already fantastic evening.
Griffin has quickly become one of our new favorite spots. Amazing food, warm hospitality, and a team that clearly loves what they do. Highly recommend!

Love Griffin's KB in Brea! The vibe is perfect, food is killer, and their steak is honestly the best in town. Drinks are always spot on and the service is next level. Robert and David make you feel like family. I send all my friends and clients here. Can’t recommend it enough! 5 stars easy.

This was my second visit to Griffin’s on Saturday, and it was just as great as the first. The food is consistently excellent, the drinks are delicious, and the service truly stands out. Marilyn has been my server both times, and she’s awesome—friendly, attentive, and always on top of everything. The atmosphere feels upbeat and comfortable, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. I can’t wait to go back again.

Small menu but everything is delicious. A pretty good crowd for a Saturday.

The food, the service and atmosphere - even on a Wednesday night for dinner was spectacular. Thank you Sara for being such a lovely server and making us feel so at home on a little weeknight date out!
The steak was perfectly cooked and so delicious. The happy hour menu items were also splendid - the brussel sprouts with the fennel ranch was brow-raising. So unexpected and so yummy. Such an original take on a staple dish.
The cocktails were also very balanced and went back almost too easily.
Thank you!

Been wanting to try this place since they opened. Finally got around to it and went here for my 25th wedding Anniversary. 1st and foremost is the service!!! Best service I've had in quite some time. Their recommendations were spot on! Food and drinks were beyond expectations!!! Definitely coming back for the RibEye and the Oxtail, another one of the recommendations.

We came to Griffin’s for my birthday dinner, and everything was perfect! The food was excellent, and our server explained the menu really well. One of our steaks wasn’t cooked quite right, but they immediately took care of it and brought a new one. Every dish was delicious, and they even brought out a gelato dessert for the birthday — such a nice touch. Highly recommend!
I loved the food and the service here. The food I ordered didn’t come out to my liking initially, but they promptly and professionally handled it and quickly corrected it. I will definitely visit again.

Blindly booked a reservation here to take out clients for a business dinner and couldn't be happier. All staff including the owner and bartender were extremely attentive, our server Lauren was upbeat and knowledgeable, and the owner took the time to get to know how we ended up there and cared about our experience at his restaurant. I would recommend this restaurant for the food, people, and atmosphere to anyone and would come back again with or without clients.

Griffins is such a cool new spot! The food and drinks are amazing! My favorites were the pastas bravas and the burrata but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! Go check them out ASAP if you haven’t already.

Griffin’s in Brea is a gem! The Caesar salad was crisp and refreshing, the aguachiles vibrant and full of flavor, and the patatas bravas perfectly bold. The oxtail was rich and comforting—every dish was a hit. Sarah made the experience even better with her thoughtful recommendations and amazing service. Can’t wait to come back!
