New American Restaurants near Garden Grove, CA

“We dined at Amarith Table last night for the first time and can't wait to tell all of our friends about what a Great Restaurant it is. There is literally something on the menu for everyone. The food is delicious ontop of being all organic. The service was top-notch: friendly & efficient. Every staff member came to our table to introduce themselves and to see how things were. When we left we felt like we were part of The Amarith Family. We cant wait to Come Back...Woohoo!“

“Small place, but deceptively good. The food was on point and our waitress was nice, helpful and attentive. Will definitely eat here again when I am this way.“

“Had lots of fun, at the Chinese New Years festival“

“This is a restaurant located inside Great Wolf, so they appropriately offer a kids' menu and coloring activities to keep children entertained. We visited during the weekend and waited about 10 minutes without a reservation, but we were not bored thanks to the small shows happening around us. The food was affordable and decent in taste, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.“

“This is the Delta hotel house bar and grill, so I had low expectations. But nothing else nearby sounded good at the end of my travel day. I got the grilled salmon salad and it was fantastic! It was huge, delicious, nicely plated. My only quibble is that the salmon was a little overcooked, but even so, I'd still eat this salad on the regular if I could. Can't speak to the rest of the menu, but the grilled salmon salad is a winner.“

“This restaurant deserves A MILLION stars the gentleman and the team that served me that particular day I placed my order went above and beyond. The teams customer service is on point and Im definitely going back the food was scrumptious & delicious. I Can’t wait to go back!xo Thank you guys for fixing the order for Uber!! It was Uber eats fault! Ugh.“

“Had a good breakfast buffet at TusCA. However, Mickey Waffles are on the kids menu and our table ordered 2 orders as we are big fans of Mickey Waffles. The picture they use to promote the waffles look like legitimate Mickey waffles like you would get at any real Disney hotel. It was very deceiving that it was NOT what we received. So Mickey Waffles fans looking for the real thing, you'll need to go elsewhere. See pictures for reference. However we did find the waffle good. The breakfast buffet was nice. Bacon was good, nice assortment of pastries, fruit, eggs, potatoes, and omletes made to order. Would definitely eat here again.“

“If you're staying at Great Wolf Lodge, this will be your main option for dinner and breakfast, it's a typical American style buffet with lots of choices for kids even the most picky eaters, including flatbreads, chicken nuggets, Mac n cheese, but also a few items that adults can enjoy such as chicken parm, salmon, salad, roast veggies and soup. The food was not the best quality, not as good as buffets at Disneyland but a better buffet than what you might find at Legoland. If you're vegetarian/vegan you will still have a few options which is not bad. The dessert selection was just okay and drinks are not included, but considering the price, it's a decent value.

Special shout out to our server Cristian who was more attentive than we normally get at typical buffets, positive, helpful and we got an extra treat for our daughter's birthday, making it a very special time.

Also, wanted to recognize Lisa C at the pasta station who was extra helpful and hospitable, and cooked up one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a long time, you can choose exactly what you want in it so really appreciated.

Compared to numerous other theme park restaurants and buffets we've been to, we found this to be one of the better experiences. Most of the time at places like Legoland, or Knotts you never see your server and people don't seem so happy, but at Loose Moose we appreciated how good the staff are.

Dinner is not as busy as breakfast and I think it's a better value. If you show up too late for breakfast, expect less attention and possibly a wait for a table. In the past, we used to see the wolf theme characters visit tables, kind of like Disneyland, but that doesn't happen here which is a little disappointing but that's not a deal breaker. We would still come back if we're staying here.“

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!“

“had the ahi tuna salad. it was awesome.“

“Pre dinner drinks at the bar were excellent. My wife enjoyed the warm up drinks. Front hosts were very friendly and ensured that our table was ready. Dinner was very good. My wife ordered the pork plate and i ordered the crunchy tuna salad. Our waitress was also attentive.“

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.“

“Another fabulous evening. We went early on New Years Eve. They had just changed the menu for the new year, so we ended up with a bottle of champagne- Pierre Jouet blanc de blanc - - first time for that one and it was great. Their wedge salad is yummy and big enough for 2 to share, with an interesting presentation . Order it and find out for yourself. Husband had the whole branzino, grilled, with beluga lentils and grilled vegetables -another lovely presentation. I had the grilled octopus, served as a warm salad, with a melange of vegetables.: every bite was a bit different. They cut the octopus in bite sized pieces, so no wrestling with it to cut it up. Flavors were interesting - each bite a different combo of ingredients. Dessert was their interesting baklava cheesecake and a combo of ice creams : mexican and one with cardomon flavor - both were worth the calories! Service by Gabriel was top notch and fun. We'll be back .“

“Have been a very satisfied regular @EatChow CM for several years. The menu varies seasonally, selections are plated attractively & are always delicious; love the fried green tomatoes😋. Eric & his crew are cordial with the right balance of attentiveness. Undoubtedly authentic, consistently never fails to please & a local, late night favorite🧘🏻‍♀️“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and great service and good value.“

“We had a late dinner at the Yard House after a Christmas lights cruise in the bay on a Monday in December. The Yard House serves dinner later. We had a an appetizer of queso with meat. It was outstanding. I had Maui Chicken and my wife had a Chicken dish ,also. Both were large portions and fantastic. When we are in the area we will definitely go back!“

“First timer says really good need to go back and try something other than the lobster roll, just for a variety😋“

“Great food and easy going vibe“

“Excellent restaurant the wine was amazing in the ceviche so delish thank you we will be back“

“We stopped in from Ohio and ate, and it was the best chicken parm we have ever had. We got the chicken parmesian poutine and the Philly cheese steak sandwich and split it, and there was more than enough for two people. I would definately return here.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. We sat at the bar and have to give our bartender/waiter Jake a huge shout out. He was the best! Definitely going back again.“

“great place for dining....“

“Celebrated my 19th birthday here with my cousins! It's our first time and we really enjoyed the atmosphere, the service and the delicious food! Service was a bit slow at the beginning but when we finally got our appetizers followed by our main courses, it was really good! We had a great time overall.“

“Ordered skirt steak, sea scallops and oysters and all were excellent!“

“Swordfish is amazing, highly recommend“

“My friends and I had such a fabulous time at Jolies. From the moment we arrived, we were seated promptly and warmly greeted by the host. We asked to switch our reservation to the patio, and the team was incredibly accommodating, they even turned on the heaters for us, which made the experience extra cozy and thoughtful. We started with a few cocktails, and the Passion Spritz was hands-down our favorite, refreshing and perfectly balanced. For dinner, we ordered the picanha, halibut, Caesar salad, and I went with the pho burger, which was truly the standout. So unique, packed with flavor, and absolutely delicious. The patio itself is beautiful with a lovely view, making it such a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. We're already looking forward to coming back, especially to check out the new rooftop. Highly recommend for a fun night out with friends!“

“Stopped in at Social in Costa Mesa while spending a weekend down in Orange County, and I’m so glad we did. I’d heard great things from friends, and this place definitely didn’t disappoint. The food was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was spot-on, and the service was just as good.

It wasn’t too busy when we arrived—probably because it’s Christmas season and everyone’s out shopping—so we got in right before the lunch crowd. I heard it was packed the night before, and I can see why. Everything we tried was top-notch.“

“exceptional service and employees“

“Good foo, nice people and the food was made quickly even though they were busy AF.“

“Awesome food :) I would definitely recommend“

“The Duck Confit Spliff is a great representation of the Vietnamese & French cultures “wrapped” up all in one dish. And for a more traditional & fun way to eat it, you definitely have to use your hands. My only wish was for a little more duck in the spliff.

With the Ebelskivers, the concept was again brilliant. The garlic emulsion creates an intense garlic flavor but in a light and airy way. But like takoyaki, I wish there was more escargot in the batter to remind me more of that chewy feel from the traditional dish.

The surprise star of our meal was the Royale with Cheese. The wagyu had great flavor and char. And the sesame seed bun held up well for this napkin-required burger. But those pickles were amazing nuggets of necessity to add balancing acidity to the richness of the dish.

We definitely want to try the Duck Breast, the Spanish Octopus, and the Prix Fixe Meal on future visits. A final thanks to Chef & Curtis for the friendly service and explanation of the menu.“

“It's worth your while to come and experience it.“

“Like Old Town Orange (formally The Circle) blocks have been closed to accommodate outdoor dining. We really appreciate that!! Incredibly friendly wait staff!!“

“Whenever I'm in town, I always make it a point to stop by Stacked. Their build-your-own mac is so good—creamy, flavorful, and customizable just the way I like it. The food is consistently delicious and it's become one of my go-to spots. Highly recommend!“

“I love going to BJ’s, it’s my favorite place to enjoy a good meal. Service was excellent. Food was outstanding and I love the atmosphere here. Everyone is always so engaging and nice.“

“Well. My Parents Dan & Wendy Went To See Brad Johnson And The Band. At The Ranch Saloon. Julie & I Can Wait To Dance Together Too.“

“Came here to catch today's 49ers game, we grabbed a nice both by the bar, and ordered way too much food because I skipped breakfast. This isn't my first time here, and I've never had a bad meal here! Their wings, nachos, and crispy chicken sandwich are huge and very tasty. The service was impeccable, the staff is very attentive.
And may I recommend their house Red Ale if you like a good Red Ale. He didn't tell me the name, sorry!!! The atmosphere was chill, football fans from every team just chillin' with great food and great drinks!!!“

“I have been to the Sessions in Newport beach a few times and I love everything about the place, great food, great service, and the owner greeted me personally! I would 100% recommend this place for a great family meal!“

“This place absolutely blew my mind!! Thank you Scotty for taking care of us the whole evening. The ambience was super cool and intimate. Very trendy and hip. everything we ate was EXCEPTIONAL! We. had the carrots, squash, zucchini bread, swordfish and apple cider doughnuts. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place and can't wait to return with new friends to introduce to it!“

“My wife and I came here to celebrate an accomplishment of mine at my job and we had a wonderful time. We sat by the big windows where we had a perfect view of the ocean and the sunset which by the way was beautiful that day. Food was lovely, service was great and our server Aaron V was very nice, he made sure we were good and had everything we needed. To top off our food we had dessert and ordered the warm butter cake which was delicious. I would definitely recommend to friends and family looking for a wonderful place to dine and have a great time.“
