“Really enjoyed the food and service here. The atmosphere is cute. The desserts are luscious. The only problem I had here - and it’s a big one - was the family sitting behind us. We were outside. It was a Sunday afternoon. The family consisted of about 4 or 5 adults and one toddler. The lone male was obnoxious. He treated his server poorly. He complained about how long the food took. Then he complained about the child’s food. The server asked what was wrong with the child’s food. Answer - it’s just macaroni and cheese. The server constantly tried to make everything better by groveling to this awful family and then taking a good portion off the bill. Instead of being grateful for the experience of being able to eat at a restaurant in a quaint town the family was ungrateful and privileged. Maybe in their country restaurants bow to every complaint someone has because they own a Gucci bag but not here. I’m also disappointed that the restaurant allowed all this complaining. They should have simply taken off the child’s food amount and taken the dish away and brought them the check. These are not good patrons to have, especially around people like me. I felt terrible for the server.“
“There are only 14 tables, but the staff were wonderful. The prices demand it but you will get attentive service. And the ambience is spectacular. You get to sit by a dock with water right next to you. It is a very romantic place. They don’t have any loud music which is great. Their wine list is extensive. And with the corkage being $75 may as well try their wines.The cuisine is French, which I love. The scallops were perfect. I did not like the gravy as much as it tasted overly sweet. The pork loin was only OK because it could be more tender and it was a little dry. The brioche bread pudding is good though I make it better. I loved the mushroom soup.“
“Beautiful cute little restaurant. The owner is from France and very proud. He is very sweet. Could not recommend this place more. The food was delicious. If we lived here, we would be regulars. Everyone should come support this amazing restaurant.Vegetarian options: Amazing options great place“
“Excellent service, atmosphere and perfect for date night. Excellent French cooking. Everything was delicious!While their tasting menu was absolutely stunning, ordering from the regular (and the special) menu would be more flexible. Portions were surprisingly generous.“
“I’ve been here many times and my experience has always been positive 100% of the time. The pastries are a work of art with a meticulous attention to detail.Great tasting coffee as well.Friendly service.Best French bakery in Orange County!“
“Maldon's Bistro is a heavenly delight for anyone who desires delicious gluten-free French cuisine, baked goods and more. Plus the staff are professional and very friendly. I've eaten here many times now and highly recommend them as a person with a gluten allergy.“
“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).“
“Incredible food! The sitting area outside seems so relaxing with 2 fountains, chairs & umbrellas. Your greeted with the Welcoming French language from the servers & the wait time was minimal. It was our first time & we will Definitely be back!“
“This restaurant is absolutely charming and delicious! Everything we ordered was superb, it is hard to choose a favorite dish of the night.The escargot were perfectly garlicky, the French onion soup was so decadent with the gruyere cheese, the volcano lamb shank just peeled off the bone and the sauce was spectacular, the rack of lamb was cooked to perfection with a perfect crust and the desserts were amazing not too sweet, just perfect.“
“A little piece of France in California. A great welcome and very good pancakes! There are also French products in a grocery corner inside, and they offered us a delicious almond croissant. Finally, I enjoyed chatting with Nathalie! Thank you ☺️“
“We made reservations for Dublin4 and it seemed pretty wild so they walked next door and sat up at the high top at Wineworks. Such a better atmosphere. Both restaurants share the same kitchen and restrooms. And there’s a lot of similarities between the menus but this has the better options.I always complain that OC doesn’t have great food but this place knows the game. And the wine menu is excellent. I even had a Pinot Noir from Baden, Germany. All dishes were excellent and the service was even better. Only complaint is the parking is terrible so good luck, maybe the lot is bigger in the back.“
“Gorgeous cafe located on a beautifully renovated little corner of Dana Point. So many varieties of avocado toasts and mix of European and American style menu for all tastes. We had Avocado toast with arugula and Dutch Boy, they were both fabulous. All the staff that were serving us were super friendly and they looked genuinely happy to be there. One of my new favorite for weekend brunch.“
“Small coffee shop within high rise business building. Lots of sitting outside and parking is 2 hour complimentary with validation. Tried instant tiramisu and ice americano. Liked both and instant tiramisu is more lukewarm desert than coffee. Like this “
“I stopped by to get some croissants for brunch. Got the almond, almond chocolate, and spinach feta croissants and paid about $15.50. The croissant were good. The cafe itself is nothing special but will definitely visit this place again to get baked goods.“
“This is a very special place. Open for dinner only Tuesday through Saturday reservations are a must. It only seats 8 or 10 parties so it is small and intimate. The food is exquisite. Courses are small but you will want to order a few. The prix fixe menu is a great way to go.“
“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.“
