“This place is gold. If you haven’t tried Olive Garden yet, you’re missing out! GO right now. Seriously!

Our waiter Josh was the best I’ve ever met in this industry. Not only was he positive and brought a friendly atmosphere, but he was also prompt and incredibly helpful while being respectful and polite. It made my day and my whole dining experience so pleasant.

I can’t stop smiling because this level of service is RARE! Like I said, gold!!!!

The food? ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! I recommend the Lasagna, the Zupatoscana soup, and a sweet iced tea. There are so many tasty options, all for a very fair price.

The food will be better than what you’ll get at a 5-star luxury million dollar restaurant. It’s that good.

This is not a sponsored review. I just wanted to share my intensely brilliant and fantastic experience at this location!“

I even got my mom and two sisters to visit with me. They found something to try, too! Wish you had a store in Utah, I'd try everything on the menu. I actually got to have ice-cream! Thank you Vibe, Dana Point.“

“Danielle S went above and beyond during our visit. When the gyro was unavailable, she made a thoughtful customer-focused decision.

The food is absolutely delicious! I had the Breakfast Club sandwich, and the bacon was delightfully crispy and flavorful, the eggs were fluffy and even the bread was toasted perfectly. My wife had the Breakfast Burrito, which was perfectly proportioned with fresh ingredients and the salsa on the side had great flavor to add to the meal!

The eating area in the restuaraunt is quaint and cozy with a real small town ambiance to it. It really felt like being at home, without having to cook your own food!

Our Breakfast was a great experience, and we look forward to coming back“

“Tried them for the first time when we got a door hanger menu and coupon. We were pleasantly surprised because everything from the friendly atmosphere, to the price, and especially to the pizza was excellent. My wife got a Canadian bacon and pineapple, which was delicious. I got just pepperoni, which was also delicious. Crust is thick and yummy, they put enough sauce, ingredients and cheese… Not skimpy. We will definitely be going back.“

“Food here is amazing! Had amazing service. We're from canada and come down to California for two weeks every November. We have now decided that this will be added to our yearly traditions!

“A wonderful evening at Todos Santos with my wife. We were greeted by Daniel the owner and chef extraordinare who took us to a very nice table in the outside patio. We started off with drinks which were made by one of our favorite bartenders Jaime! The other bartender of choice is Francisco who had the day off. Kenya was our waiter and was superb, very personable and professional. We each ordered the appetizer salad which were so good. We spoke with Daniel about the fresh fish and decided on the Sea Bass for my wife and I ordered the Salmon and lobster plate. These two dishes were amazing upon presentation and even tastier than they looked lol. I must say since we began dining at Todos Santos from when Daniel took over this place has blossomed this restaurant into the best Mexican cuisine in Orange County. With multiple awards to his credit Daniel has new menu items that he creates regularly and now opens after hours on Tuesdays and Fridays with a DJ and dance floor. On Saturday and Sunday the restaurant serves breakfast from 10 am to 2 pm and the dishes are delicious. Make a reservation and ask for Daniel. Let him know George sent you. Great place, great food and amazing people! Highly recommended“

“I was craving Greek food, needed something quick, and I found this place based on reviews. Everything we ordered (combination gyro, Greek salad, combination plate) was on point and fresh, and the waiter who took my order was very friendly and polite. I would definitely go back again soon.“

“One of my all time favorite places. The people and management make It like “friends” but with a really unreal grilled cheese sandwich and soup. Get the soup with the sandwich. Add bacon. That is all.“

“Restaurant is clean and open. Their sashimi bento box lunch special [includes miso soup, cucumber salad, tempura, half CA roll, and seven slices of quality sashimi served with real wasabi!] is the best and it was only $20. Thank you to sushi chef Obi for his recommendation. Now if they only served Kuronama or any other Japanese dark beer, they'd be perfect.“

“The chef puts out unique and delicious pizzas, pastas, daily specials and desserts. Very unique location too!“

“This pizza was the best in town that we have tried since our fave joint closed. We got a Hawaiian no onion. For the price, it could use a little more pineapple and bacon but we will ask for that next time. They have great specials and we will be back!“

“It was our first choice for our anniversary dinner! Good decision!!“

“We’ve lived in Rancho Santa Margarita for quite a while, and we love trying new restaurants—though honestly, we’ve had our share of disappointments. But last night was a game-changer. We decided to try Mimi’s Garden, and from the moment we walked in and saw the menu pictures, we were curious if the food would live up to them. And let me tell you—it did!

Everything we ordered was bursting with flavor, and we tried three different dishes that all turned out fantastic. The service was equally great—the waitstaff were super friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience was just smooth and enjoyable.

In short, we can’t wait to go back and explore the rest of the menu. It’s a perfect spot for a quick, light, and tasty dinner in a clean, inviting setting. Highly recommended!“

“This was a perfect supper spot when staying literally next door at the Marriott VC Newport Coast -plus they give Marriott guests a discount👍
They immediately greeted us with H2O, bread and marinated mushrooms, nice beginning.
My partner had the lasagna (with meat -also have a vegetarian selection) which he said was excellent (large portion, he had the leftover for lunch the next day). I opted for ravioli and when I could not decide between ricotta or butternut -server said she could bring me a 1/2 order of each at no additional charge! Now that is much appreciated service in the day & age. Service was excellent throughout the meal.
Highly recommend.“

“I LOVE cava and my experience here with Julia made it even better!!! Thank you Julia for your patience with how particular I am and being knowledgeable about what’s in the food!!! You are amazing!! They better make you a manager soon or whatever you want you deserve!!!💋💋💋💋“

“My husband and I stopped in on a Friday evening. We were the only patrons which made me a little concerned at first but there was consistent takeout pickup the whole time we were there. Our apps were fresh and prepared to order. I had the green curry and my husband had the KUA-KRING SIAM, both had incredible flavors and just straight up delicious!“

“The staff are always courteous and welcoming. The sandwiches are always tasty too!“

“The atmosphere is a wonderful and relaxing change from the high tech look of too many restaurants today. It's softly lit and comforting. The food is excellent. The branzino was cooked perfectly, the side dish of french lentils was a treat and the apple pie delicious. It's a treasure.“

“Party of 6 went for lunch at 2pm on a Sunday in December. The restaurant is very spacious, with multiple rooms, and we were able to find a large booth pretty easily. In true Olive Garden fashion, we were given an endless supply of warm breadsticks with creamy alfredo sauce, and I am sure I had 4 of them after my 10k run earlier. Some of us had the salad, others soup, and again, we were given a huge bowl of salad which was refilled once as well. It was pretty delicious. I had the spaghetti and meatballs entree, which was very good in both quantity and quality as well. Our server was very friendly, and kept inquiring repeatedly if we needed anything. Great experience, and before tips, it came to around 25 bucks per person, including some iced teas that some folks got.“

“The food is very tasty, good presentation! delicious 😋“

“Better than Halal Guys. Yeah I said it. Go taste for yourselves.“

“Never miss a stop at Zinc when I’m in the area. Can always find something I love to eat, no matter what I’m in the mood for.“

“This is my second time having their pizzas after a great first experience, and they were just as delicious! We tried the butter chicken and chili paneer pizzas—both were bursting with flavor. You can tell they use very fresh ingredients, and the dough was perfectly soft, even the crust was amazing.

Definitely give this place a try—you won’t be disappointed! The service is excellent, and the staff are wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable about their menu.... They were the ones that recommended the chilli paneer and I'm so glad they did.“

“One of our favorite Mediterranean spots, their bowls and wraps are so delicious. I love how customizable the bowls are and the variety of toppings. My move is a bowl with half rice / salad and half fries as the base, half chicken and gyro for the protein, and all the toppings. The fries are McDonald’s-level good imo. I also highly recommend trying all the sauces at the sauce station - my faves are the dill tzatziki and the cilantro jalapeño. Yum! Service was also great at this location, Namrata was patient and friendly answering all our questions :)“

“Had an awesome experience at Board & Brew! The service was fantastic—fast, friendly, and super welcoming. The bartenders were especially great, creating a fun and relaxed vibe. The sandwiches and salads were incredibly fresh and full of flavor—definitely made with quality ingredients. Perfect spot for a casual meal with great energy. Can’t wait to go back!“

“This is my go-to spot on the way to work! The staff are always polite, friendly, and greet you with a smile. Great selection of drinks and cakes, and everything is consistently fresh and delicious. Definitely one of my favorite places to stop by for a quick treat or coffee.“

“Fresh, tasty, great combination of flavors and options on both salads and sammies. The natural sodas are a nice touch. Gotta try a cookie!💛 Staff has been consistently courteous and responsive. I’ve been three times. I CRAVE their salads.“

“Rei is very nice and polite, and so sweet to recommend the exquisite sandwich chicken pesto caprese and it was so delicious! From a bakers point of view the focaccia was dry so maybe look into that. Great job with your customer service Rei!!“
