Old Brea Chop House is absolutely top-notch. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was just perfect—classy but not stuffy, with an ambiance that makes you want to linger over every bite.
The steaks were phenomenal, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. You can tell they take their craft seriously here. The sides? Just as memorable. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, not just thrown on the plate.
The service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, but never overbearing. It felt like they genuinely cared that we had a great experience.
Honestly, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back, not just for the food but for how it all comes together—the atmosphere, the service, and the overall experience. Can’t wait to visit again!
My first time at Old Brea Chop House.. I can't belive they have been open for 5 years already and I never been there .. This place is bump ✨️ 👌... Ambiance is great and life with this staff and managment all over with their guests Ms Shayen wonderful managment checks on every one even the Big Boss Tony everywhere talking to his guests make you feel family and easy to talk to this man. Staff friendly are very well Trained and natural dealing with guests , very knowledgeable with the menu and the foods .. Foods the best & delicious food everything we ordered Scallops was fresh and delicious Mu Branzino excellent fresh, Ribeyes steak cooked perfect side dishes high quality and chocolate Cake was really nice. Will he back so often. I love high-end restaurant and old brea Chop House is up there.
Thank you Medhat bechay

If you are looking for a special occasion spot in Northern Orange County, look no further. We had cocktails, appetizers, salads, steaks, seafood, sides, and desert. There was not a single dish that disappointed. Service was spectacular. They go out of their way to make you feel like you are the most important customer in the room. Overall a fantastic dining experience.

i enjoyed the entire visit, and reserve the last star for my next visit.
a cozy relaxed dining spot, that shares the building with the improv and the reunion diner.
The annual family dinner, was filling and the sirloin steak was prepared the way i prefer.
Jordan, guided us through selections at the bar. Bo and Cat were the attentive dynamic duo keeping the meal progressing. Can't say that I'm a salad aficionado, but the field salad was quite good.
i know, I'm babbling as the cocktails were good without hinting at the alcohol that was in there, and I'm still savoring the memory of each sip.
Extremely pretentious and terrible customer service. The head manager (a man whose name I don’t know), told me that he would need my table eventually even though I wanted to get seated 10 min BEFORE my reservation to get started early. Absolutely no skills in customer service to graciously communicate any seating policies-simply skipped over acknowledging me as a customer with a reservation to let me know just how insignificant he feels people are in lieu of his future reservations. He was an idiot and I was so incredulous at his thoughtless illogical response so me wanting to open my wine and get seated at 3:45 in the afternoon (it was still light outside!!)—i told him he can have his table and left. They suck and I don’t care if they built a reputation on good food—they better get it together service wise to keep a high end clientele. I will be sharing this negative experience with everyone I know in the area.

Went to old brea chop house to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. I got the braised short while a fairly simple dish it was really good, and it was served on some of the creamiest mashed potatoes I’ve ever tasted. The service and ambiance was really good as well. If you’re going to catch a show at the improv I highly recommend stopping by before to grab a bite to eat.

Stopped by for lunch and ordered a pastrami sandwich for around $25. The taste was average, but the interior and service were good.
Have been coming here for past 3 years and I’m always impressed by the food and service. My go to are oysters as entree and of course their steak. I was there recently and it has definitely become my fav restaurant. I tried their key lime pie this time… oh my!

FOOD & SERVICE was a 10/10 ! Me & my man went for our anniversary we had the last reservation at 9:20am on a Monday night & left at 10:40pm (they close at 10pm) we were the last ones there, no one made us feel rushed to eat & service continued to be amazing. Our server was a Hispanic male (forgot his name). We ordered charcuterie board, beet salad, tomahawk , brussles sprout, truffle fries , moscato.. everything was delicious! We were recommended by my sister & her husband because they had nothing but good things to say.
I don’t even ever write reviews lol but it was amazing

Poor service, worse food. Ordered a lobster cocktail, once served I noticed the lobster was green. I complained to the server, who told me "male lobster are green, and that is perfectly fine to eat." Wrote a negative yelp review. Owner responded (offline in a DM) by once again blaming me, then stating "no one noticed" when we left the restaurant. Stay classy, Tony. I'm sure you'll be in Brea for years and years /s.

Was out on a date and they sat us down with a group of 6 loud dudes who were very rowdy. Instead of a nice quiet evening out it was like we're in a sports bar. Plus the menu needs to be changed or the lightning. Either way couldn't read it. Despite all that the food and staff were great!
