“I love this place. Every fish option i've tried here is always excellent. And friends with much more depth of wine experience than me, have mentioned that the wine list is top-notch as well. Stacey and the rest of the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!“
“Want to give a shout out to Jayc for being so helpful and patient with me. Went close to closing time and she did not try rush me and was super helpful in giving me suggestions on what to get. It was my first time and not only was I satisfied with the customer service but the peanut butter bowl was really impressive. It had a great consistency and taste. Overall impressed and would def make the drive out to the area for it again.“
“Came here over the weekend after wanting to try Giselle's for years. I was greeted by Alex, who was very kind and knowledgeable on the various treats. I purchased a couple of the PB&J protein bars and the chocolate protein bars. So yummy! PB&J was my favorite of the two. Major brownie points for being gluten free and 100% organic. I'll definitely be back for more soon!“
“This place is a total gem. Came in on a quiet Sunday evening to dine. Our waiter and the cook were very friendly and welcomed us in. We ordered the hot and sour soup, general tso chicken and the Mongolian beef. We absolutely loved the soup and the dishes were really tasty with a good size portion and the breading was very nice on the chicken. We will definitely be back for more good food. ?“
“The food here is healthy, delicious, and never disappoints. The braised beef is my favorite, and the steak dish my husband prefers is always cooked to perfection. Great service too - thank you Carlos for your kindness, friendliness, and efficiency!“
“I can NOT say enough about this wonderful bakery!!! I had them make a cake for my mother's 94th birthday, and it was AMAZING! She loved it so much and so did everyone at the party. The owner is incredibly sweet and attends to any needs you may have. I pivoted and changed my flavor at the last minute and she did it. It was just such a pleasant and easy experience.... use them! You will not be disappointed.“
“One of my favorite shops! The avocado ? toast is excellent ?, but omelet tasted a little plain. Service is great in general but sometimes can be a touch too curt. It's a great vibe here and conducive to getting work done, especially love the days when they play 90s R&B.“
“Beautiful welcoming caffe with fresh and delicious pastries. Almond croissant is crispy and just right amount of sweetness. Owner Ava is so warm and kind, it is a pleasure to meet her and her hospitality. Ambiance is done with love and great taste. I would highly recommend it.“
“Looked up best burgers near Rancho Cucamonga and this came up. It got good reviews, so I thought I would give it a shot. Download the app, and you will get a free burger with purchase of personal fries, or a shake, not just a burger, ANY burger on the menu. Who does that! I ordered a cheeseburger, fries and a coffee shake. Nadia took my order, she was nice , pleasant. Got my order within 5 mins. Fries are home cut, fresh not frozen. Fantastic. Burger was awesome. Shake was good. Overall, just awesome. I would recommend. you wont be disappointed.“
“Yummy! I ordered their Margarita pizza, light on the cheese, extra basil. I phoned ahead, and it was just out of the oven when I arrived. The pizza was just as I ordered it, and it was delicious. My hairdresser is just across the street, so I will make this my monthly pizza fix.“
“I have been a customer for a while a now. The customer service is amazing. Cupcakes with a warm and friendly smile. The cupcakes are very well designed and of course, they are Delicious! I have had them at the store and when they have been delivered they have always arrived on time and look fresh and are just as delicious! I cannot say enough about Simply Cakes: They are my favorite ??If I just have a sweet tooth and want a treat, or for special occasions and celebrations we LoVe ❤️ Simply Cakes“

“This place is a hidden gem. The bakery items are all amazing, Soft fresh breads and pastries, sweet and savory options. Wonderful tea and coffee options. Friendly service, clean restaurant. We have loved everything we tried here. So glad to have found this place!“
“Came on a whim and discovered a local gem. Ordered a veggie pizza and I gotta say, one of the better ones I've tried as of late. Dough was airy and ingredients were balanced. The pink sauce was surprisingly a win for the taste buds and we're sure to return for Jay's pizza. Decor was vibrant and atmosphere was fun with an attentive staff.“
“Romina was very kind and professional when I called about placing a cake order for my grandma's 90th birthday. Best of all the cake, meyer lemon raspberry, was perfectly light and sweet for our brunch celebration. My family enjoyed the cake and some even went for seconds. Definitely will order more desserts in the future. It was also great it could be made gluten-free, so delicious!“
“GG’s Bistro is a rare find: excellent food in a tourist town. I went today and loved it! If you’re willing to walk just a block up from the tourist traps, GG’s offers a clean and spacious new outdoor patio, as well as a nicely decorated indoor dining room. Service is very pleasant. They offered me a taste of Turkish Raki, and gave me good advice over all.I recommend the Meze Platter. And I loved the blackened salmon sandwich, which I ordered today for lunch.Parking: There is ample parking in the paid public parking lot behind the establishment.“
“Upbeat and loud, Snooze, A.M. Eatery is the perfect place to refuel to face a new day. It’s also a great place to catch up with family and friends, get to know strangers while seated at the counter, and enjoy some really good food and drink!The staff are friendly and efficient and are ready with an answer to any of your questions about the menu.The menu is just right, with classic breakfast fare as well as clever twists on familiar items you just have to try!“
“Went here as it was close walking distance from our hotel. It's not much to look at but it is clean and the service is very friendly. The food, however, was OUTSTANDING. The mongolian beef was th best I've tasted and I kept thinking about it over the rest of the weekend. I would have had it for breakfast the next morning if the restaurant were open. Not fancy but a great choice if you want excellent food.“
“Had an amazing and delicious dinner with my family this weekend. We showed up at 11 and were quickly attended by our server Emily. She was great in refilling our drinks, brining the tab and recommend us the lobster garrick noodles which were so good. Also the Garden Nachos were served in a large platter so it was enough for everyone to grab. Honestly great experience for our first time here.“
“Great food, great service, and the waiters really wait on you. The team takes great pride in the details. We felt like part of their family from the moment you walked in.Thank you for the great memory! I love this Italian restaurant.(part of our 35year anniversary / road trip)“
“This was a surprise birthday gift from my hubby to me. Being diabetic, it's been really hard to get a birthday cake for me. He drove an hour there and an hour and a half back just to surprise me. He bought me a banana bread and a vanilla cake with strawberry The banana bread was a little dry but the taste was still good. It was a little more solid than we were used to. The birthday cake was fantastic. It was moist and soft and the cream was delicious!!! There was a layer of strawberry jam in it. And I can't stop saying how delicious thay was. I wasn't personally there at the bakery so I cannot comment on service and ambiance.“
“We first discovered this place in San Diego and now we go here for breakfast every time we get the chance. We love eggs Benedict and they have some original twists on it, and even an option to get two smaller portions of different varieties which is what we like to do. The kids loved the French toast and their hot chocolate is excellent. We don’t drink coffee or alcohol so I can’t comment on that but we try the hot chocolate every where we go and theirs is so good, especially with the cinnamon they add. I don’t think you’d go wrong with any of their menu items.“
“I had an interview was supposed to meet at Starbucks this sweet little place across the parking lot outside water fountain bench's and the baked goods to die for it was a perfect spot for my interview I'll be back to try more of there delicious things I had a breakfast crescent with egg and sausage along with a chocolate chip scone and a coffee with some amazing creamer this quaint spot out of know where I give 5 stars thank you for the sweet experience today“

“A quaint macaroon shop, right on the California 1 Highway in Laguna Beach. After 24 macaroon varieties, all of them are gluten free with many dairy free. Each bite explodes with flavor, but is a perfect balance of sweet flavor and soft texture. As a coffee fanatic, the Colombian coffee macaron definitely hit my taste buds. Friendly staff and a warm-hearted atmosphere as you enter.Street parking is extremely limited in the area, so you may have to find a paid parking lot and take the walk to reach this macaroon and candy shop.“
“Wow! This little gem in Lake Forest. We were running errands and it was cold and cloud day so we pulled into this cozy Italian restaurant! We were greeted by Zachary. He was incredible! He has THE BEST customer service. I knew I was going to leave a 5 star review before we even ordered. My husband wanted a Bloody Mary but can't handled spicy ones. Zachary offered to bring a sample of the base and the bartender even came over to chat about it. Btw if you like a little spice in your bloody, order it! It had the best flavor and was handmade. The food was amazing, the restaurant was clean and charming and Zachary was just so good at his job! We stayed way longer than we normally would because it was so comfortable and a place where you just want to take your time. We will absolutely will be back and look forward to another perfect experience! Portions were generous, the pizza was so good, as well as the pasta fazool, amazing! Super fresh salad, bread was fresh and warm. Go here! Ask for Zachary and enjoy a cocktail by an exceptional bartender!!“
“I'm absolutely hooked! Your bread is seriously the real deal. It's hard to believe it tastes so good and gluten and grain free, magic! I love your commitment to using compostable packaging. Keep up the fantastic work, you've won me over!“
“My group and I hit up Bacchus' speakeasy, Cozy Pine, recently, and let me tell ya, cozy is right! This spot is small, like really small. If you or someone nearby is a bit on the big side, expect some bumping around. But we dug the whole outdoorsy vibe they had going on. Now let's talk about the snacks! Fried goat cheese balls? Check. Blue crab dip? Double check. Deviled eggs? Oh yeah. The only letdown was the shishito peppers - a bit on the oily side. As for drinks, I went for a mocktail that tasted like lemonade, but my group seemed happy with their choices. Shoutout to the friendly and attentive staff!“
“Had the Crepe Complete, cafe au lait and two apricot pastries. All were very good. The Crepe had ham, bechamel sauce and emmenthaler cheese. Delicious! It came with a salad. The ambience is great. Nice people watching. Colorful restaurant. Gender neutral restroom. Meter parking.“
“AMAZING food! Great family owned restaurant. Clean, fresh, healthy food. We have met the owner and his kids and they are lovely people. I can't believe this place isn't swarmed with people because it is so delicious, peaceful and healthy. I will be back soon!“
“My last review was so many years ago! We continue to love Lolas, we go almost every Sunday. They have so many vegan and vegetarian options. I love that they got rid of the plates and are back to serving food on the wood boards. My old favorite mixed berry flatbread wasn't as great a month or so ago, maybe because it wasn't berry seasons, but the Sunrise Flatbread is my new obsession. It is so good, just wish I could order it ahead on the clover app - there is some glitch that makes it requires to add 5 items on the flatbread in order to add it to your cart.“
“A co-worker brought me a CARROT CAKE BUNDT CAKE.The REVIEW:-- big carrot sniff-- cream cheese frosting runs down the sides of the cake from the top-- no raisins (thank you!)-- no walnuts is sad, but since it's a bundt they are not expected-- frosting is very sweet-- cake is quite moist but not ultra-moist-- cake itself is light towards medium sweet-- I split it in half and ate two different mornings with coffee since pretty sweet overall-- maybe because it is a bundt, but I prefer actual carrot cakes which are often more moist than this plus they often have walnuts-- carrot strands/shavings were present inside the cakeRATING = B+“
“Butter+Cream Bakery made the most incredible wedding cake and desserts my wife and I have ever had! Our wedding cake was gluten-free due to my wife's allergy and it was so good that when we told people after the fact they legitimately did not believe us because Nataly's talent is so good that her gluten-free cake is still even better than anyone else's regular cake! We also had small fruit tarts, 3 flavors of macarons, & 3 types of cupcakes with amazing flower frosting on top. Each as incredible as the previous! We seriously can not recommend this place enough as it will be the best sweets you have ever had! Thank you Nataly for making our special night even more perfect!“
“This is a long overdue review of the Ladera Nekter location! I love- love -love your customer service. The speed and accuracy in which orders are filled are excellent. The location is clean. The staff members are friendly and helpful. Keep up the stellar job Lastly, the app, makes life easier too!“
“Stumbled upon Scratch Bakery Café while searching for breakfast online, and it was a delightful find! Their English muffin egg cheese sandwich is an absolute delight – made from scratch, it's a must-try. My boyfriend enjoyed the southwest breakfast sandwich, and we topped it off with a perfect cinnamon roll. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious brunch before a beachwalk in Orange County!“
“I have done enough fine dining in my life to take it for granted. I also own two businesses in food service and can often look at an item and know whether it was purchased from US Foods, Sysco, or Restaurant Depot. There are plenty of restaurants that serve frozen entrees, and the chef opens packaging and reads the prep label before plating it. Not here. Not at PF Chang’s. Their chef has real talent and the “back” (kitchen staff) do an extraordinary job…we have never been served a bad meal (and I’m a particular eater). They are consistently good, which isn’t as simple as it may seem.But today I am taking time to write a review because the service was so spectacular. It’s my youngest daughter’s 28th birthday and Michelle (our server) literally made it perfect. She was fast, accurate, predictive, professional and was neither hovering or out-of-sight. But in addition to providing superbly attentive service, it was her manner that made the difference. Truth be told…it had been a brutal day and we almost cancelled dinner because nobody was feeling “up for it.” We all suggested rescheduling (not one of us wanted to go) but it seemed kinda obligatory and so we dragged ourselves here. Thank God we did. Michelle’s bubbly personality lifted us all up out of our funk and before long we were all giggling and thoroughly enjoying ourselves…even Michelle seemed to be having fun. This girl fixed a horrible day and all it took was a genuine desire to please and the well-honed server skills only a restaurant veteran can appreciate. Michelle is a rare gem…she’s got the X Factor.The manager at PF Chang’s hires very well. His staff (both front & back) provided us an exemplary dining experience that is worthy of 10 stars. Do yourself a favor, go dine at PF Chang’s, play with items on the menu you never tried before and yeah…try some of the bartender’s specialty libations. Do it on a day when you’re down and stressed and need some simple Asian attitude therapy. The staff at PF Chang’s sets the customer care bar so high…other restaurant workers need to charter a plane just to see it. Tell em Bruce set you. You can thank me later. Thanks for saving the day Michelle.“
“I like the butter crossiant. Pretty light and airy. Stopped by on a whim since I have something to do in the area. Prices are reasonable but they are out of dollar bills, soi got a bunch of coins. Flat white is pretty strong, which is to my likingw“
“I absolutely love tres leches cake, and this bakery has great quality. I went for the first time this past weekend, and I will definitely be back for their tamales, Mexican hot chocolate, and sweets. I highly recommend this place!Vegetarian options: Pastries, tamales“
“Good place to grab a burger. I was a little overwhelmed with all of the options on the menu at first, but the cashier was helpful and helped to guide me. I went with the Original Burger Boss burger with mushrooms and avocado. You can definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients like the meat, the bun, avocado, and mushrooms. The burger patty was mostly all lean and seasoned well. I also liked the fries, and I tried the mint lemonade. There are several locations, so I'd be open to checking out another location. I recommend Burger Boss if you're feeling like having a fresh burger!“
“I had my sons pick up the wedding cake I ordered for my daughter's wedding on Saturday and realized that I never paid for it- so it obviously wasn't prepared! Your staff, namely STERLING helped us out by calling your Newport store and had them make the most beautiful and delicious cake I've ever had! Thank you to your NEWPORT location for saving our wedding even though it was MY mistake! Forever in gratitude for you all!“
“I dined in recently for the first time and absolutely LOVED my experience. I think my server’s name was Kim, it was a young lady with the pretty tattoo on her neck. But she made me feel welcomed and comfortable after telling her I never been here before and didn’t rush me like other places. Her recommendations were great, my favorite was the Changs Spicy Chicken but get it extra spicy! And the shrimp dumplings are a must try! 10/10 for the food and service. I will be back soon!“
“This Ikes is really great, partly because of this guy at the register, who is so friendly and kind and helpful. He even convinced me to sign up for the rewards program, which I don't usually do but he is just so informative and helpful that I did it. I had the Jim Rose sandwich with turkey and avocado and this great Dutch crunch roll. Very happy.“
“I love this place. They have a good selection of pastries for being such a small place and also a good selection of teas and coffee. I'm a big fan of their salted cheese foam iced coffee. Highly recommend you try it if you haven't already.“
“My wife and i visit Mamón periodically, and every time we do, we wonder why we don't visit more often. They have a very unique menu, with food that is so much more flavorful than most. On my most recent visit I ordered the Gracias, Pavo sandwich, which is a seasonal item. I got it with a gluten-free wrap instead of the toasted Francese bread. The wrap itself was very good, but it was the turkey, pickled onion and roasted sweet potatoes that made it so tasty. I asked for the Serrano pepper mayo on the side. Just a drop with every bite was enough for me, and added great flavor. The sandwich was big enough for me to save half for later. The restaurant features counter service, and the person who took our order was very friendly and helpful. They feature some great specialty beers, but one of my favorite things is you get to take a whole carafe of water to your table. For a "heavy drinker" like myself, this is a very welcome convenience.My wife and I swore we would return soon - this time for sure!“
