“This was my first time dining in after getting takeout a number of times.The spring rolls are definitely the stars here and are always fantastic! It's nice to order a few and share at the table. The shrimp and eggplant are my favorites.The main dishes are good as well and on par with some of my favorite Vietnamese places in the area.The deserts/pastries are a bit of a let down and I would save desert for another place. The macaroons were on the dry side and the macarons were too sweet for me.Service was friendly and informative.“
“Nice enough spot. Lots of room although they do try and pack a couple of tables into the corners despite the huge amount of room by the dart boards. Tables are 7 footers and diamond so nice enough. Cloth is in pretty good condition. Drink selection is about average as is pricing although the first drink I got seemed a bit watered down. People are gregarious and not shy. Keep your expectations in check as it is sort of a dive bar but, as they go, a pretty good one.“
“Came here for lunch recently, loved the food! Highly recommend the Bánh Xèo (crispy crepe)—it’s crunchy and huge, and delicious! The Bánh Bèo Huế (steamed rice flour cakes with shredded shrimp) and Thịt Giò Heo Cuốn Bánh Tráng (cooked pork shank) were good too.Drink wise, this place doesn’t serve beer or alcohol.“
“Staffs so kind and always be there when i need.nem nuong was perfect. However,My quang' broth not flavorful and the fish sauce of com tam so sweet. Coconut Coffee and seasalt coffee are good. This place for hang out with friends or family.“
“This place is so cute!! My friends and I were looking for a place to get some yummy fresh food after a day of paddle boarding. We also had a dog with us so needed to find a place that had outdoor seating and was dog friendly. This place was perfect! The food was incredible. Our server Matthew was so attentive and recommended some great plates for us. We had the oysters, the bread and lobster butter that was TO DIE FOR! The steak salad, and the barramuti fish was great ! Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.“
“I recently celebrated my birthday at Duke’s Restaurant in Huntington Beach, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The atmosphere on the bar side where we were seated was vibrant and perfectly complemented the ocean view.Our server, Alicia, was the highlight of our evening. Her attentive and friendly service ensured our night was special. She was constantly checking in on us, making sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive.We decided to go with the Friday special, which included a delicious Poki and Pineapple Chicken. Both dishes were fresh, flavorful, and well-presented, capturing the essence of Hawaiian cuisine. The couple of Mai Tais we had were expertly mixed—refreshing and just the right touch of tropical.The Friday night entertainment was a real treat. The Hula dancers and the Hawaiian musician set a festive mood, making us feel like we were on a mini vacation to the islands.Duke’s provided an excellent backdrop for my birthday celebration. Great food, superb service, and entertaining performances made it a memorable evening. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a slice of Hawaii in Huntington Beach!“
“GREAT quality restaurant/bar with fresh and delicious appetizers and entrees, and quick and friendly staff and service. They also have AWESOME Happy Hour service with a generous timeslot from 4-7 p.m., Mon. - Fri. We'll DEFINITELY be back, as regulars!“
“Thanks to Chef Josef for his creativity and passion for crafting a high quality meal option for my wife who has severe food allergies. In many restaurants, she is left to pick some tasteless option, so we really appreciate Chef Joseph and can say that it’s because of him that we now come back over and over again.Dietary restrictions: Amazing support from Chef Josef on the severe food allergies we have to cater for when we go out.“
“Awesome speakeasy in the Anaheim Packing District! I knew it would be hard to get a reservation here so I started looking a couple of months before my birthday. Unfortunately, they only release reservations a few weeks at a time & as soon as my desired date was available, it was already fully booked. Since we were staying in the area, we decided to see if they would take walk ins. Unfortunately, the hostess said that they were fully booked for the night. I was super bummed & was ready to walk away but decided to ask if I could put my name down in case there was a cancellation. Fortunately, she said if we came back in an hour, she could take us in before the next resy came in. Score! We had dinner at their neighboring restaurant & waited until we got a text. The space is super neat! It is dimly lit, they had a piano player in the corner, & cozy. We went in February so their drink menu was love themed. I recommend getting something from their seasonal menu & their regular menu so you can taste the best of both worlds. They make their cocktails delicious & strong. The bartenders are friendly & gave awesome recs. They also serve apps here.“
“This is hands down one of my favorite go to's ! Anything and I mean anything on this menu is amazing !! You all know my palate it Hass to be beyond delicious and this place is!!! we also ended up going to the saloon, which is right next-door so fun with the live band. People are fun friendly. I had people sponsoring my drinks and I sponsored people as well good times!! Must try the Ranch then dance it off next door go to my food4pondering page on IG for food pics Trio ceviche is a must try !!“
“Excellent cuisineA little piece of FranceToo bad that on arrival we were made to wait 20 minutes at the bar (like 2 or 3 tables) asking us twice what we wanted to consume before finally sitting in the room on the left which was almost empty.It's a shame that the waiter doesn't understand what we're asking and forgets to bring us or brings something completely different from what we asked for (drinks).“
“Great food and great ambiance. Really appreciated that the patio was warm and cozy (overhead heaters) even on a cold rainy day and that the staff kept it open just for us - very accommodating and great service. We ordered 5 small plates for the two of us and loved the chile relleno and mushrooms “
“I've been trying to come to this place for the past couple years but they've always been closed since they're not open Sunday-Wednesday which is usually when we drive down to Disneyland from the Bay Area. We were finally able to come down on a Saturday and reserve a spot way in advance. Food was good but we came to drink the drinks. The ambiance was amazing they and a DJ and views of the parks with fireworks.“

“Good food, good service, don't be surprised at the prices.The pomme in the menu is not fries (pomme frites), it's (apparently) pomegranate.Parking: The restaurant entrance is a little hard to find if you haven't been there and it's raining. There appears to be outside seating.“
“After going to the Garden Amp for a concert, a group of us were looking for a place to grab and drink and a bite to eat. We found this place on Yelp and so we decided to give it a try. This place is in a industrial but the wife and I like dives so we came in. Unfortunately, the owner let us know that the kitchen was closed so I went out to inform our group. We decided to have a drink anyways but when we walked in Paula met us at the door with that huge smile and said that they could offer us a limited. We quickly ordered 5 burgers and fries. BTW, the buns are made there at Henry's, that is a nice and rare move for a small dive bar, right? The beer offerings were pretty decent. I had a Blue Moon and my friends had Fuzzy... something or other. I was laughing and talking so I don't know exactly. My wife did get the Cardiff Cab Sauvignon that was pretty decent. What makes a great dive bar is the crowd and this place had a great group. The table next to us was serenading the room with both Bolero's and some great country hits. Their fun was infectious. Thanks again Paula for helping us wrap up a great night. Hope to see you again, soon.“
“Here are the pros … beautiful architecture, good food (appreciate the option for vegan cheese which is tasty), good drinks, attentive service.… and the cons: very loud if you’re dining inside on the weekend, our round table was wobbly (quite unexpected when you’re paying a premium for your meal), valet parking ($8 not including tip) is required unless you have a lot of time and patience to search the beach streets for parking and are willing to hike a bit.“
“I’ve been coming to Friday night trivia for years now. The food, the beer selection, the atmosphere are all superb. It’s a lively spot on Friday nights that feels like home.Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome as it’s a family establishment.“
“This is such a cute and cozy restaurant on Balboa Island, great to stop in and grab a bite to eat after a walk around the island.The Stuffed Zucchini Flowers, RH Mac & Cheese and the Short Rib Fettuccine were the favorites of the evening by far. We could have just ordered doubles of these dishes and been in bliss.The shrimp and scallop curry risotto and chicken pot pie, for my taste were a bit bland; however, the rest of my dinner party did not agree and for them, the chicken pot pie was up there with the three favorites of the evening.“
“I have had one of the best meals in a few years. The fried octopus was sublime. The spicy tuna, good. The meat perfect. The chocolate dessert rich but very very good. Everything was perfect and this is going to be one of my favorite restaurants. The bill was honest. Absolutely “
“I’ve been meaning to try this place for a long time. Finally made it in. The food was very very good. The vibe was fun and lively with the DJ playing Tech house music. Music was at a good volume and could still have a conversation. Service was also very good. DJ was playing Tech music definitely going to be coming back.“
“Visited Blvd Cocktails for the first time last night. My wife and I had a great time. The music was just right. The atmosphere was friendly and chill. They have weekly raffles. We bought $10 worth of tickets and won $50 at their 11:30 raffle drawing. Our bartender Alisa was awesome. She was welcoming, friendly, and made some great suggestions for our drinks. Alisa's friendly service is definitely a reason we will return for more drinks and to sample the menu.“
“We are Greeks from Australia and we wanted to try this restaurant and WOW... The food is fresh, the quality is amazing and the taste is like we are eating in Greece... we are fussy eaters and with a family of chefs, we are critical of Greek restaurants and we were surprised. We had the fish from Greece and it was cooked exactly like it was done in Greece. The Saganaki was exceptional and the Prawn/Shrimp Saganaki was mouth watering. From the Octopus to the beets to the Greek salad and Mousaka...YUM! Give it a go and you won't be disappointed as it's obvious they use quality products and no seed oils... Olive oil used everywhere and it enhances the flavours and taste... we will be back.“

“Great place. We have eaten here several times. Service and atmosphere is always top notch. The food is really good. Salads are big enough to share. It may be our imagination but while the prices are on the high side the servings seem to be getting smaller.“
“Celebrated our anniversary here and we couldn't have been happier. The venue was easy to find and the ambiance was exactly our vibe. I recommend everyone order their poke nachos, it was enough for at least 3 to 4 people. The drinks were great, but it was the decor, music, and scenery that really livened up the atmosphere. We can't wait to come back during the summer to catch the sunset and try more dishes. We absolutely loved it here.“
“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.“
“Great food and drink. Everything ordered for our party of six was delicious and found pricing to be good as well. Only complaint was the restaurant appeared to be slightly understaffed and we waited a while for next course. Also hoping the upstairs seating reopens as it would help the overall noise level.“
“I’ve been going to this place when in town for over 10 years and it has never let me down. Impeccable menu, top notch service and atmosphere, and the bartenders know exactly how to do things. Cant say enough just how awesome this place is.“

“The food here is awesome. My daughter got the Waffle & chicken,OMG that chicken was so juicy and tasty. Most fry chicken is over fried and dry. The place gets really busy in the morning hours. Parking is in the back. Also has a patio and it's dog friendly : )Great family restaurantParking: Parking and main entrance - in back.“
“Went here on a random weekday, date night. The music was good, it seemed to have a great weekend bar vibe. But I am here to tell y'all, the food. The food was on a other level, not only was it pretty but it was delicious! Definitely coming back on a weekend!“
“They don't serve food here, but you are welcome to bring your own food Inside. You are also welcome to smoke your vapes inside. Bathrooms are kept very clean along with the whole bar and booth areas. Karaoke nights are always a good time with good vibes and friendly people.Parking: More than enough parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp about 20 ft. From entrance“
“This place was DELICIOUS. I came here with one of my friends and we got the wings, some fries, and the Thai salad :) all was delicious and fresh and very well seasoned. We also got 2 drinks each and they were both so yummy! I got the lychee martini and the so fresh so green and they were so good!!!!! The lychee martini was more bitter and the so fresh so green was sweeter and lighter. Service was quick, efficient, and friendly! And the ambiance is cool, it's a tiny little place with a few tables and a bar so it felt very intimate :) I would return!“
“I took my mother to the Quiet Woman last week and had a wonderful celebration. The food was incredible, definitely add the CdM salad. The waitress was amazingly attentive and personable. Without hesitation I definitely recommend The Quiet Women for a special culinary experience.“
“We were up in the Long Beach area for the weekend and my husband wanted to watch UFC so he found this bar showing it at no charge! The place is big with lots of TVs, seating and games. It was a bit cluttered. Lots of stuff that were sitting in piles all over the place. It seems like it should be in a storage room but maybe they are short on storage. Other than that, it was fine. The staff was great. Like I said, it is a big place but we did not have a problem getting drinks or food. I ordered the pretzel bites and a Nathan's hot dog Chicago style. The dog was really yummy and filling. My husband ordered the quesadilla and he liked it. Said it was nice and spicy. If we are back in the area we will def return.“
“KJ!!!! You were INCREDIBLE!!! This was our first experience and we wanted to do something special for our anniversary and I'm so glad that we chose to come here! The atmosphere was energetic! The view?? I mean wow!! The food was fantastic! But overall, our waiter KJ went above and beyond to make us feel valued and special! We would come back, just to have him as our waiter! Thank you so much KJ for everything that you did! We really appreciate you and we both had such a wonderful time! Rise Rooftop, we will DEFINITELY be back!“
“I wanted to make reservations the night before but didn't due plan changes. My friends and I finally decided to stop by hoping to get a table. The reservation filled up so quick that they told us it would be over an hour. What a bummer I thought . Luckily the host was so nice enough o seat us in within 10 minutes . We were seated in a cave like room . It was such a cool vibe . The drinks and food were really good. Definitely coming back soon.“
“We had such a great time this last weekend. The food was all so good, we got almost all the sides like brussel sprouts, crispy cauliflower (amazing), asparagus, truffle Mac and cheese and appetizers as well such as the charcuterie board which was quite delicious.I had a filet which was cooked perfectly to my request and had such good seasoning and sauce as well. We also tried their handmade pasta which was also very good and light tasting.We can't wait to go back and try more food and get more of the crispy cauliflower.My only criticism was it was very loud in the restaurant, so at times it was hard to hear each other at our table. But you can see everyone just having a good time together at their tables. But we will definitely be back for more!“
“BARCODE WAS INSANSEE (IN A GOOD WAY) the owner is always on standby making sure the service is 10/10. He is AMAZING!!!!! I live the next street over and and he was SUPER accommodating and welcoming. He recommended me and my friends a good drinks and got us complimentary shots!! The shot was amazing but even without the shot it SHOULD NOT allow you from coming here. SOOO CHEAP SOOOO GOOD! I love it, AND YOU SHOULD TOOO!!!!“
“I've been to a lot of fancy steakhouses, and I can tell the difference between good quality meat, good flavoring, and good execution! Madera's rib eye prime steak was just that. It was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly! One of the best steaks I have ever had! Also tried their sausage with hatched chilies and it was just wonderful. We literally licked the plate clean! Yesterday, I got a carne asada wet burrito for lunch. OMG!!! Literally the BEST wet burrito I have ever had, EVER!!! The meat was so thick and tender and they do not skimp out on the meat. It's loaded with meat and a pretty big portion as well. I highly recommend any one who wants delicious food and a great environment for live music, to come to Maderas steakhouse! You won't be disappointed!“
“We decided to order a chicken burrito plate and a chili verde plate. Both came with rice and beans in nice metal containers delivered hot. There is a sufficient portion that I was able to have half then the other half the following day. The rice didn’t have much flavor but I did enjoy all the melted cheese that covered the top of everything. As for the burrito, it has lots of chicken but nothing else which I would have preferred lettuce or something that would break up all the chicken. Their chips were over cooked but tasted okay with the salsa.“
“A fabulous reprieve from the insanity that is Disney mania in Anaheim! Tucked away off the main street, they have gorgeous indoor and outdoor dining options. I wandered into Colony Wine Merchant after walking 2 miles north during my recent trip out West for a concert. The staff there welcomed me with open arms and explained their concept. Colony Wine Merchant is a wine retailer, restaurant, and wine school. I settled in at the bar and watched regular after regular waltz in on a Friday night, escaping the unexpected drizzle that evening. Without a doubt, they were offered the flight of the week, or their usual wine as they reviewed the menu or waited for friends and family to join. I had a glass of white wine and ordered the marinated olives and the citrus & fennel salmon. Both were highly recommended by the staff. As I read my book and leisurely ate my dinner, I couldn't help but feel so at peace. The dimly lit dining area, beautiful artwork and free-flowing conversations felt like a cozy dream! I sat for hours and never felt any pressure to leave or order more. When it was time to check out, they dropped the most delicious piece of chocolate on my receipt and I happily went back to my room to sleep. I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for friends to catch up, a nice dinner date with a partner, or a cozy solo dinner! This was the perfect definition of a "girl dinner"!“
“Classic dive bar across the parking lot from the beach in Newport. I normally order a special sandwich, pickled egg and a draft beer. The draft beer is always good, they pour a lot of drafts so it is always fresh and ice cold. Bar service so order at the bar and either sit / stand there (it's often very crowded so barstools can be hard to come by. Or sit at a booth if there's one available.“
“We loved this place and went back three days in a row!Great selection of delicious food, all the alcohol you'll ever need and good coffee.Location is ideal, right by the pier and the beach, and a great spot to watch the sun go down.Buzzing atmosphere and very friendly staff and customers every time we visited.Awesome!!Kid-friendliness: Safe for kids and good food options“
“Their hands down have the best smashburger in town. My business partner and I come in here at least a couple of times a month for their smashburger lunch time deal. The three bartenders that we have dealt with have been all amazing gentlemen and kudos to the chef.“
Cocktail Bar •
“Food and drinks were amazing, so was the service. Carl our waiter/bartender was so knowledgeable about the drinks and food. The ambiance is romantic and relaxing especially outside. I like sprit foward drinks, I enjoyed the following cocktails: Miso-cilin, Ume Old Fashioned, and Bloosom Martini. Blossoms Rigatoni was also delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the other cocktails and food.“
“The Sunday brunch is a beautiful layout of many different options to suit most appetites. Part of it is served by the staff and part is self serve. It's really lovely and a great place to enjoy just being together. The price has gone up considerably in the last few years but I suppose that's happening everywhere. Would recommend.“
“This is the first time eating here even though my friend suggests it all the time when we have work reunions but this time it was just him and I celebrating our April birthdays and besides my medium steak being too well done and veggies so under cooked I will eat here again because the peach cobbler I got to go was really good. I'll know how and what to order next time.“
“Everyone else is spot on. Cute place with a great vibe. Walked vet the road from another bar that was a bit bog standard meat market and it just felt nicely welcoming and alternative. That might have been the Alana Morrisset playing, or the very wide age group of 20-70years old but I liked it.“
“This was my 2nd time here. First time was for drinks and dessert which I loved so I decided to come back for a birthday dinner. We had no problems getting a table for 5 on a Saturday at 7pm. We were seated in the back room. The atmosphere was very Vegas lounge like. They even had a dj come in at 8pm to play. The service here was really nice. Food and drinks we loved too. Asian fusion style of menu. We tried 3 of the desserts and all 3 were soooo good. Definitely a place for date night or celebrating a special occasion. They even gave the birthday boy a little birthday gift. A must try for sure for all. =)“
