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.“

“FOOD
huge portion sizes. i personally think the buffet price is not worth it; not much variety in food. just generic breakfast food. unless youre a very big eater or like eating a mix of everything, stick to the menu. chia seed pudding could use some more toppings. it was like 90 percent chia

SERVICE
just a little slow. servers are nice.

ENVIRONMENT
very convenient for people staying at hyatt. lots of seating. cool decorations.“

“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.“

“Hamilton was our server and he was very attentive. We very much enjoyed the crab cake, shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms, the beet salad, the Filet Mignon, and the dessert samplers. Fabulous meal, beautiful restaurant. And even though it was a Sunday and very crowded, our food was prepared flawlessly and the service was excellent.“

“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.“

“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🧘🏻‍♀️“

“Might just be the best restaurant in the area if not all of OC… Every dish we tried was sublime. From the Ratatouille to the Pistachio Soup (a delicious bisque) to Signature dish the Airline Chicken, we didn’t leave a morsel on our plates. Then there was this unique confection… Baclava Cheesecake!“

“The atmosphere was vibrant and enjoyable. The food was satisfactory but had room for improvement. The chicken club sandwich was flavorful, though the chicken breast was significantly smaller than the bread. It would be better to either resize the bread or enhance the portion of chicken. Our server was capable and attentive; however, he rushed us to close out at the end of our meal because he was finishing his shift, which was a bit off-putting. Despite this minor inconvenience, I still had a pleasant visit and would definitely return.“

“Great atmosphere and great service and good value.“

“We went in late, everything else was closed.
My GF was extremely hungry so they took a quick order of a taco first, ordered it and then came back for the order she received her Taco satisfied her hunger. Then the shared food came out, She ate 3/4 of that. She must have been hungry.
The waiter was extremely accommodating, repeated checkups on us.
Wonderful demeanor.
Told manager about our great experience and suggested a bonus for him. I also gave him an extra tip.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“great place for dining....“

“Fabulous place! Will comeback again. I asked for a booth by the wall— and got it! This place had wonderful service ( thanks Jessica! ) and some really awesome drinks! Try their riff on an old fashioned— you win be disappointed - especially with notes of banana! Caesar salad with shrimp was delicious! Thanks for a great meal. What a beautiful interior this place had along with great ambiance! Cheers!“

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

“Swordfish is amazing, highly recommend“

“Jolie offers a sublime lunch with stunning ocean views and attentive service. The beet salad, Brussels sprouts, calamari, and especially the spicy tuna stack are delicious —each starter made with precision and vibrant flavor. Amazing coastal dining experience that earns every one of its five stars; I’ll definitely return.“

“Gabriel the manager, waiter, bartender, my everything, was outstanding. We were a last minute party of 8. He was attentive, anticipated our needs, accommodating, just over and beyond excellent customer service. The food was great. Oscar assisted us as well and so friendly and great customer service. Highly recommend and thank you for a wonderful experience.“

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

“Great food great company great service“

“11/11/2025
Stopped in here with a friend for lunch while in the area. Looked interesting in passing. Atmosphere seemed to be a good thing. When we arrived there was little to no wait. However after seated, the waiter wasn't back to take our order for a long time. Until finally we flagged someone down. When we finally placed our order, we had to wait a while for food to arrive. Also had to flag someone down for the check. Food was delicious. Ahi steak salad hit the spot. Atmosphere was great. The server was good too, it honestly seemed that they were understaffed. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Dining area was organized and either in use or prepped for next use. Will surely be back to try again!
Thank you Stacked!
Thank you Hargett Hunter and TriSpan!
Thank you Paul Motenko and Jerry Hennessy!

“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.“

“Great service, nice atmosphere and friendly servers“

“Delicious healthy food. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“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!!!“

“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.“

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place and can't wait to return with new friends to introduce to it!“
