“I like my reviews to be as comprehensive as possible, so let me begin with food. I had the New York and the wife had the Wagu flat iron. We got a potato and the mac&cheese as sides. We also started with a Caesar salad and a cocktail. The steaks were phenomenal. So tender and succulent. Cooked to our I dividual temps perfectly. They were not heavily seasoned, so the steak flavor was light, but the truffle butter, mushroom and onion that accompanied were enough to satisfy flavor components. The potato was salted on the outside and baked then topped with bacon and creme fraiche foam. Very good, but the potato was a potato and only so much can be done. The mac&cheese, however is now in my top 2 mac&cheese ever. I am not joking. I love this so much I would come in just for it. And this place is not easy to park at. We had 2 desserts because it was our anniversary and the chef gave us a cheesecake with raspberry jam that was, okay. It was very sweet. Nothing special other than it was a gift. And we appreciate that! The other was the blueberry soufflé. Oh my. It was served with a coconut gelato on top and all I have to say is that I was so stuffed from the dinner but we managed to eat that whole soufflé. It. Was. Ridiculous. Hats off to the chef! The waiter, Dimitri, was fantastic. He earned every bit of the gratuity we left for him. He was attentive. He listened. He joked around with us. He was very charming and pleasant which is what we like in a server. He did not bug us too many times during dinner but let us enjoy ourselves. He did not push anything on us, but, like I said, listened to what we wanted and did it with a smile. Finally, the ambience. It's a steakhouse, sure, but it's a NICE steakhouse, which is why we were a little disappointed that we were sat outside. It was enclosed and the street traffic wasn't too bad, but we would have preferred inside. All in all, we highly recommend this place. It is pricey, but in my mind, very much worth it.“

“Love the food. I asked for a double portion of the petite salad. My double portion was not double my Girlfriends single portion... But I was charged double the price plus 4 more dollars... And the avocado being added was expensive... the price for avocado should be labeled on the menu since it is more than a couple of dollars. But the food always tastes wonderful, and I loved our server Tony. “

“Been here a lot and service is usually good, but today Yono went above and beyond to make our haidilao experience amazing. He was so attentive and immediately picked up any empty dishes and always topped off our water and soup base. He was really friendly, polite, and took time to get to know us throughout the meal. I think it's some of the best service I've ever received in my life. I highly recommend him as a server. Food was excellent quality as usual. Thanks Yono for everything and we look forward to dining with Yono again!“

“The food is amazing. Very authentic pizza and the homemade pastas are unique and flavorful. The only downside on the menu is dessert. There is a hazelnut chocolate torte that tastes waxy, the panna cotta is good but not great and they add a lot of unnecessary toppings like black sesame seeds, and finally the gelato was icy, not creamy. I won't stop coming here because of the dessert but just be forewarned. If it's your birthday just hope they have tiramisu which is often the dessert of the day and quite good. Also, I don't understand the need for club music. It takes away from the ambiance. We always opt to sit outside where we can hear one another and they are more than accommodating.“

“Fine dining, excellent service, amazing food“

“12/7/22. In town for a seminar and this restaurant was recommended. Excellent pizza and excellent price. I'll return Friday and grab lunch again on my way home to San Diego!“

“Pizza Amore Cafe is our new favorite pizza! I can't have gluten and their Gluten-free is absolutely yummy!! I also can't have garlic so that means no sauce and each time they have made my pizza perfectly!! I highly recommend them for tasty pizza ( Gluten-free & regular) and outstanding customer service!!!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free & garlic allergy“

“The food was delicious and our server Ashton was incredible. We will be back soon❣️“

“A little disappointed. I love this restaurant which I why I picked it for my birthday. The food was great. They brought me a dessert and said happy birthday but then it was on the bill. I paid Because I enjoyed it but a $600 bill, you think you could afford a complimentary dessert.“

“Had a nice evening at Dominicos on the lake this evening. My wife and I had reservations and were fortunate to ask Kory for a patio table which he accommodated. Michael took us to our table and was very kind and professional. Pedro came by with our bread and water and said hello. He is one of the hardest working individuals at the restaurant. Eddie our server came by and took our orders with a bottle of Austin Hope and bread to start. My wife ordered a chicken breast salad and I had the chef's special stroganoff which was amazing. Unfortunately my wife's salad came out 30 minutes after my stroganoff which was a cardinal sin in the restaurant business and we mentioned it was not acceptable. Eddie apologized and we also had Steven, the GM, come by and also apologize and ensure the salad would be out shortly. The salad was delivered, of course after I ate my entree and Steven dropped off and apologetic gift certificate for an appetizer during our next visit. We also ordered an additional beef stroganoff plus an order of meatballs to take home for tomorrow. We undertake things happen and it's certainly nice to see the restaurants busy again but a party of two receiving their entrees 30 minutes apart is not conducive with quality service. I am guessing the chef either misplaced the order or overlooked the obvious and we hope next time we will not have such issues as the restaurant is very good and in a fantastic location. Michael also came back around and stated he was concerned about this mishap and would look into this. As a retired government administrator and former restaurant manager in my college days I expect the simple things like entrees being delivered at the same time to be in sync with quality service and dining. We will be back and see if in fact this was an isolated incident. Good food and ambiance plus. As a writer for Trip Advisor, Yelp and Google I am graceful in my comments and specific in areas needed improvement. Thanks you.“

“Christakis has been a go-to favorite for nice dining since the nineties; always great food, always exceptional service. Rack of lamb is the best I've ever had *anywhere*. At this point I guess we're almost part of the family. SO YUM.“

“Delicious… go there!!!! Eat!!! Drink!!!“

“Best Raman in United States hands down!!! Make sure u add Black garlic and hot spicy sauce“

“Kingchops is one of my favorite place for lunch, I usually come to this Plaza at 11:00 AM before the busy lunch time, parking can be tricky at 12:00 PM, however it is mostly the same throughout most Irvine area. 1. Food: My favorite will be the Pork Chop Dry Noodle (#2), the pork chop is packed with flavor, not too over fried, but just crispy enough for my taste. I also enjoy the porkchop soaked in the house special vinegar, as it has a flavorful taste. Personally, I always like it with dry noodle, the size of noodle is not to thick nor too thin, just the right size for me. The add on topping goes well with the noodle with or without the pork chop, by far it is the most consistent, I been working nearby for the past 3 years. 2. Price: at around $12-14 (tax + tip) per person for lunch, the price is about the same for surrounding restaurants, and by far the best pork chop compare to A+J or I-Tea Café. A+J has a cleaner taste to it which is also great, but if you like a more flavorful taste Kingchops is the place! I-Tea Café is also great, but I found the batter on their pork chop/ chicken chop tends to be a little too thick for my liking. 3. Service: Great service, always clean and food ready with in mins of your order. when you dine in, you also get some free green tea! Place is small so come early for lunch, to go is also an great option to skip the line and busy parking at this plaza.“

“This place is a total gem. Came in on a quiet Sunday evening to dine. Our waiter and the cook were very friendly and welcomed us in. We ordered the hot and sour soup, general tso chicken and the Mongolian beef. We absolutely loved the soup and the dishes were really tasty with a good size portion and the breading was very nice on the chicken. We will definitely be back for more good food. ?“

“Pho broth tastes great, portion is okay I'm not full after eating large. I've tried large brisket pho and chicken pho. One of the spoons still had food stuck on it...... After I put in all the veggies I noticed one slice is stale or bad jalapeno. I had to pray that God will protect me from getting sick... Imma take detox pill at home... Although I want to continue support business here I don't feel spending $22-23 after tip is really worth my money. Honestly this restaurant team need to try harder to gain more regular customers. I've eaten at so called best pho restaurants in OC and LA. Brisket pho was better than chicken though. However after experience today, I ain't coming back... I even tipped 25%... So yeah I'm not a difficult customer to satisfy. Goodluck Saigon Gem team, you guys have real potential but you guys need to listen to customers and make real lasting positive changes. I first gave 3 star but 4 stars is the maximum I can give. I'm being generous like how much I tip... Sauce bottle was sticky...“

“The shrimp on fire was a very interesting show. Baby was intrigued. The gyro and trio player tastes great and our baby liked the rice in the gyro plate. And Kevin made sure we have a comfortable lunch! Ambiance is good. Like the blue theme color and choice of music.“

“Food was absolutely delicious“

“Fantastic birria tacos. My favorite are actually the shrimp and the fish, and my kid loves the mushroom tacos. The guacamole is fantastic, the chips are fresh, and make sure to ask for the spicy oil--they don't seem to give you any when you eat there, but give it by default with to go orders. It's unique, with dusky but flavorful notes that pack a wallop.“

“The server Travis was a fabulous server. Was really friendly and on his game.The food is always good.Their French Onion soup is the best, I am talking high-end restaurants and stake houses. Hands down, this place has French onion soup. Don't even get me started on the French fries!“

“We celebrated a family birthday on a Monday night. The manager, Erick made it so easy and convenient to order food in advance and staff made sure it was all served as we arrived and it was warm and delicious. I'm surprised more people don't know about this great pizza parlor. Thank you Erick and staff for making it so memorable. We'll definitely be back.“

“Yummy, relatively inexpensive vegan fast food at The Trade food court on Michelson. Less expensive than other vegan fast foods, with extremely generous portions. I went with my omnivorous son, and he also enjoyed it. We’ll be back!“

“Absolutely beautiful ocean view from your table“

“Went with my parents for an early Christmas dinner and service was great… food was delicious… and atmosphere was on point!“

“Tacompadre in Santa Ana is a total winner! Let me tell you, their quesabirria tacos are the stuff dreams are made of. The birria is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and they don't skimp on the filling. But the real star is the crunchy flour tortilla. It's the perfect balance of texture to the juicy goodness inside.Looking for something a little different? The suadero alambre is a must-try. The suadero (skirt steak) is cooked to perfection, and the whole thing is overflowing with melty cheese. They don't forget the veggies either, which adds a nice freshness to the dish.And to top it all off, don't miss the chocoflan. It's the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Creamy chocolate meets decadent flan in this delightful dessert.Overall, Tacompadre is a hidden gem in Santa Ana. Amazing food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful time. Our wait staff was terrific. My food was delicious with an absolutely beautiful view. I look forward to going back there very soon because we had such a memorable and fun time. Many thanks to the Montage.“

“This is a regular each time I am in this neighborhood. Recently I tried the Misal Pav. The gentleman at the counter told me it was his wife’s recipe and to expect like Mumbai misal. Made of sprouted beans, it came with side of farsan, picked onion and buttery pav. It was spicy and flavorful and took me back to authentic taste - just as I was told! Will be back to try again. The place is clean and service is fantastic.“

“Everything best food good service very nice staff. We are coming back soon!!❤️“

“A definite must try! Great food and easy to work with as they catered my wedding. Food was fresh and tasty. Great feedback from all my family and friends. Will for sure be going back to eat at the restaurant. Owners are very accommodating and will work with you to make your ideal menu for catering.“

“Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, no exaggeration. I consider myself a chicken shawarma connoisseur. I’ve tried many of the middle eastern restaurants around LA and even down into San Diego. Food trucks to brick and mortar spots. This is my favorite shawarma hands down!! I’m also a big fan of pickled turnips but a little picky about them. Theirs are PERFECT.“

“I was visiting from AZ. The staff was very pleasant, even though we entered the establishment 10 minutes before closing. They even tried to help us find the bus line. I apologize for not knowing thier names, but a great group of people. And the cinnamon roll was to die for!“

“I'm not an Indian expert, but I can say for certain that nothing I've had here was disappointing at allThe butter chicken is especially good on Rice scooped up with a big piece of NaanKid-friendliness: They are so incredibly friendly with our boys every time we eat there - truly a welcoming atmosphere“

“Came here to celebrate cinco de mayo with my brother. We started with some drinks. We ordered one regular margarita, one jalepeño watermelon margarita and a beer. Tasty drinks! Our table enjoyed their chips and salsa and bean dip with our drinks and before we filled up on chips we ordered their carnitas taco salad, carnitas plate and the seafood enchiladas. Everyone enjoyed the food and company ! Service is always on point every time we eat here. Happy Cinco de Mayo !!“

“Best dessert and sandwiches“

“Our family has had a few celebrations here in the past year. Their food is consistently delicious and I highly recommend. The best meal was a delicious pork chop - best I ever had. And I've had a lot of pork chops. Call me when you have that special again). Thanks to the staff for making our celebrations great!“

“Such great service from this young man and will definitely return“

“It was everyone's first time at Bourbon and we were all blown away by the food, service, and ambiance. Our server Gio did an excellent job in making sure everyone was happy and he did a great job in his drink recommendations. We will definitely be back again“

“I have been celiac my entire life. Finding a restaurant that not only caters to a gluten free diet but also has impeccable service, what a treat! We drove up from San Diego county and Maldons did not disappoint. We are already planning our next visit.“

“Always like coming here for a quick, fresh lunch while I’m working on UCI campus. I especially like the salads - falafel on a Mediterranean salad is delicious. Very friendly staff!“

“The food was more than perfect. It was our first time trying Kabab Express, we were craving kabab and rice, and we so happy that we tried it.Everything was perfect, delicious and warm fresh bread.Customer service was great.If you are picky about the cleanliness, this is a place that you don’t need to worry about it.We will definitely come back.“

“Food is delicious. Ambiance is nice.“

“What a lovely chef, and an unbelievable meal. This was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in my entire life. The service was attentive, the food thoughtful and inspired, the atmosphere comfortable and clean. On its own, the menu was incredible. Every single plate was well-described and beautifully prepared. I may never recover.And Gino… was LOVELY. I have met many chefs, and dined in fine-dining/Michelin-quality restaurants around the world. This was a superior experience. Gino was knowledgeable, kind, and friendly in a way that is truly rare. We would have come back for the food alone, but Gino made it a memory and an experience. He also personally (and kindly) chased us down to return my purse — the food was so good that I completely forgot it.Thank you — from a couple of new Canadian transplants who felt infinitely welcomed and well-fed.“

“Amazing food staff atmosphere. Will be back.“

“The atmosphere here is amazing! Hearing and seeing the train pass by is a fun experience and the ambiance with live music makes it even better! Staff is friendly ,Delicious food ( Ahi nachos, Salmon, Mac and cheese , skillet cookie - we will have all these again ) Price is reasonable for great food, good vibes and a great experience. It’s a delightful treat for out of town guests.We will definitely be back .Parking: On a weeknight, Parking was somewhat challenging. We arrived for dinner around 5:30 , circled around but found and used outdoor paid parking ($8) . When we left, around 8:00 pm, i saw cars circling looking for open spots. Keep looking, it’s WORTH it!“

“Best Italian food I ever tasted, excellent service, friendly staff and great ambiance.“

“I love Miyagi Shabu!! had the half and half with ribeye and wagyu....so delicious! best of both worlds and the porridge they make at the end is the bomb!!“

“The beignets were the best I've ever had. Our server Oscar was outstanding. Great service, attentive and very accommodating. I wish it wasn't so hard to get reservations. Otherwise, I would be there all the time since I only live 5 miles away“
