“We had a beautiful meal and noise level has gone way down due to new elements on ceiling. The service was impeccable. Attentive but didn't rush us. I tried the spinach salad with added shrimp for first time as wanted something lighter. It was amazing with warm vinegar dressing. The salmon special was also excellent. Without asking our waiter brought out a tiramisu to share as noticed we were celebrating a birthday. This was probably the best tiramisu I've ever had including those in Italy!”

“Great vibes and crew. Food has great variety (large or small portions) and service is quick and efficient. I bring friends and family days and nights when we want frssh Italian meals away from home.”

“We decided to stop at this Dizzy Bird location after going to the Irvine location numerous times before. We didn't know it was in a food court, but I have to say that the food was quicker and tastier than the Irvine location. The service was also better. I don't know how they're doing it at this location, but everything seems much more streamlined than in Irvine; they should really keep it up.”
“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.”
“I love this place! I am on an anti-inflammatory diet and this is one of the few places I can eat. Double bonus - they serve grass fed beef, which is the only beef I can have. Their burgers are one of the best I have ever had. My personal favorite is the California Burger. It is amazing!
Dietary restrictions: They have grass fed beef, which is perfect for anti-inflammatory diet.”
“Husband and I went there last night during Haunt Hopping in Santa Ana -- and WOW!! Absolutely delicious, filling burgers and crispiest, hottest fries! Very friendly service. Hoping they open some locations near us, but until then, we'll make special trips -- they're that good!”
“If I could give 10 stars they would get it! I rarely go online to write a review, and if I do it’s because I had a horrible experience. I wrote a positive review maybe twice in my life here’s my third. Start with the cashier, I really can’t say I ever had anyone serve me with a better attitude than the guy who helped me and I say right by the register and he kept that amazing attitude with all customers. At first I had 3 chicken tacos from the taco Tuesday deal (which I might say isn’t cheap, but quality costs) which were surprisingly good because I don’t love shredded chicken. The chicken was so good I decided to get an asada one as well just to make sure they really are as good as it seems. They crushed it, asada taco came to over 7$ after taxes and it glad to say I’ll be happy to pay that price anytime anywhere to get that same taco!”
“I love the Savour Pastry shop under the new ownership. I love the quality and taste of their products tremendously. My favorite items on the menu are Almond Croissant, Cream Broiler and Almond Cake plus all the rest of the pastry they make. I take their pastry to all my friends and to every gathering that I am invited to. I am so glad to support a local business, which is providing quality food and excellent services.”
“Yum!! I hope this place picks up, they have a great space and tacos hit the spot. Wish i had taken before pics. Ordered a chicken and al pastor taco, and the Birria quesatacos special. The birria knocked it out of the park! I ended up ordering an extra asada taco to try, and to finish off the consommé (no waste!). There's plenty of seating and a nice patio area. I liked the bench seats with the curved back, and bathroom was clean.”
“Wonderful birthday 🎂 dinner tonight (Carne Asada!). Wonderful food and service from Octavio Rosales. So kind, respectful, thoughtful, and service. Thank you Octavio!!”
“Love this lil place. Service is amazing and love the waitresses -they are always so friendly and welcoming! I really appreciate and am grateful they have a gluten free menu! It’s limited and wish they had more options but it’s so great because I don’t need to worry about getting sick from gluten! Not many sushi places have gluten free menus!”

“This is my 4th time coming here. Their food is sooo good 😊
Every I came here, I wrote a review but they seemed to have disappeared so I’m writing a new one. I ordered the chicken biryani because my server Amid recommended it. Amid was very courteous and attentive. If you like Indian food, this is one of the best 😋”
“Good food, good service, good people
The people are kind and fast with no detriment to the food’s quality
Definitely go here when you’re free on a weekday before 2:30pm!!
Dietary restrictions: I personally have Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder and there are plenty of options for people who have medical restrictions or are just picky”
“I tried their “Dos Enchiladas Rojas” with black beans, Salsa Mango and Pico de Gallo sauces. It’s apart of their new $10 bundle deals. I’d say the Enchilades were very good. The chicken was a little burned. But eating the Enchilada with beans and chips really helped bring all the flavor together. I truly enjoyed this meal!

“I simply love this place their prices are great the cake are fresh and super delicious, super professional and on time foe delivery. I highly recommend this bakery if you want a delicious fresh beautiful cake this is definitely the place. Thank you Simply Cakes and cupcakes for making our beautiful retirement cake. 🤩”
“You just cannot get better sushi within OC. Superb. I’m in my mid 30s and have eaten here since I was in middle school/early high school. Superb. No notes. No critique. This is legit sushi.”
“Intimate 50 guest pub w exceptional appetizers and entrées at reasonable prices..”
“Ambience is great, as the views are tranquil. Do not play golf, but have been going here for more than a decade, for business events, my own retirement party, and pleasure meals with friends and family. Love the new patio cover! Only negative is that I made a reservation for 4, of which were for adults, and were seated at a table much too small for dinner, was not comfortable for water and wine glasses. Wound up spilling salad dressing containers set along side plates because there was just not enough room.”

“Siam Thai is a family owned establishment in my neighborhood with friendly ownership and conscientious service. My favorite dishes are the Crying Tiger Salad, Papaya Salad, and the Honey Duck. The individual ingredients are superior quality and spiciness levels are accurate to the requested amount. I prefer very low spice in order to taste each natural flavor. The Boba Tea bar is a newer addition and the drinks are decorative and well mixed- especially the Taro Milk Tea. This restaurant is part of my weekly dining out ritual.”

“Iris, the owner and the main man in the kitchen are nothing short of awesome. Happy hour rules, food is great, and the best service. Love this place and I encourage everyone to come try at least twice.
By far the best place in MV for beers and a game. Kids will have fun too!”
“I absolutely love your strawberry matcha drink it has got to be the best thing iv ever drank! I will definitely be coming back here again because of this amazing experience. Not to mention how clean the place is, absolutely unreal experience. My favorite place to go nowadays LOVE.”
“When I signed up for P.F. Chang’s Rewards they sent a coupon to redeem a FREE dessert! I never tried P.F. Chang’s before so this was a great way for me to discover a new taste!
The Red Velvet Cupcake comes with a candy-sweet drizzle to pour on top, but it was a bit sweet combined with the dessert. By itself though, it’s good.
As far as the cupcake itself, it was really tasty! I enjoyed this treat with my dinner and I’m glad I tried it.
I would give their Red Velvet Cupcake a 5/5. ✨”
“My brother-in-law ordered food for our family from here. We had never eaten at this place nor even heard about this place… Let me tell you something: the food was exquisite! Fresh and crisp veggies, soft and tender meat, and all flavorful! This will be our go to place when ordering chinese take out!”
“The dough is the perfect balance of sweetness and bite. Perfectly flaky and crisp on the crust and base of the pizza with the perfect soft and chewy texture of the middle of the dough. The sauce is the perfect combo of sweet with bit of acidity of the tomatoes. Plus the pizza isn’t drenched in oil on the base. Don’t just try the place for the pizza itself, ask about the history!”
“A wonderful find. My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience at Sabatinos Italian Bistro this evening. Our server Frederico was professional and quite personable. We started our dinner with two glasses of wine and the bruchetta. The Talbot Chardonnay and the Dry Creek Cabernet were both excellent choices. My wife ordered the eggplant gnocchi, which she loved, and I had the sausage and pepper rigatoni. Both dishes were excellent. The service, food, and ambiance were quite authentic and enjoyable. We spoke with Frederico, who is the ultimate professional, and decided to order a side of meatballs to go as well. This was our first time at Sabatinos, and this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Ask for Frederico as he is the ultimate professional. Highly Recommended.”

“It's exactly what you expect of a place like this and more. They've never gotten an order wrong. Everyone has always been friendly. The drive thru speaker was acting up last time I went so maybe go in to order. But that's genuinely the first problem I've had with the place in like 20 years. That deserves a 5 star rating.”
“Excellent service good food, nice place to take the family

A place I'll be visiting again”
“We sat at the sushi bar and Joe-san was our sushi chef. He was fast, efficient and everything was tasty. We chose the Oh My God roll towards the end and honestly folks? It is OMG spectacular! And so was the Queen Imperial with yellowtail and mango. Great service!!!”

“Absolutely incredible bakery! I stopped in and picked up a croissant and a chocolate bread, and both were beyond delicious—flaky, buttery, and perfectly fresh. You can really taste the quality and care put into each pastry. The croissant was crisp on the outside and soft inside, while the chocolate bread had the perfect balance of rich flavor without being too sweet. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place had a cozy, inviting vibe. I’m so glad I found this gem of a local bakery—definitely coming back for more. Highly recommend to anyone who loves quality baked goods!”

“Where do I start with this place! Great food, great service, and amazing welcoming staff. Their lobster burrito was different to my palate but very delighting. Creamy delicious creative food. I’ve been to many places to eat and have never sent a review, but Taco Mesa hit it on the head for more. Fun Mexican food that makes you feel good about what you’re eating due to the healthy fresh food! Will definitely be back very soon.”
“We want to thank CPK for honoring Veterans today. They gave a delicious complementary supper tonight with a nice menu. The food was delicious. The staff was excellent. Service was fast. Manager thanked the veterans and gave us a handshake and a flag. He even had a table set for the missing soldiers , sailors, and Marines. Happy that everyone in restaurant was having a great time. Staff was all friendly and excellent. We eat here about ever other month. Very affordable, great pizzas and pastas”
“We love it here! Super good food and nice employees. We went the other night for dinner. My husband got the chicken and beef teriyaki plate with white rice, California rolls, edamame, tempura, and Crunchyroll. They put a great variety of items on the dinner plates and it's so delicious! I got the Chashu ramen. It was delish. It was like a bowl of comfort. The only thing I would suggest is on the ramen there are green onions on top and I wish that they were chopped up instead of in strips. I feel like I always have a hard time chewing strips of green onion, but other than that, everything is so good.”
“I visited this sushi spot yesterday and was really impressed. The sushi was incredibly tasty, and the portions of sashimi were perfect. So many other sushi places are stingy with their portions while still charging a premium, but this place strikes the right balance. Keep up the great work! I will definitely be back!”
“Delicious food tender kabobs organized and punctual good price, make sure to cater here if you have party”

“Sal’s is a class A establishment. I messed up my order (grandma pie with breadcrumb and onion + sausage pinwheel and cannoli + black and white cookies) I ordered for pick up when it should have been delivery. The owner delivered the order himself. The grandma pie was on point and the sausage pinwheel was right! Waiting to taste the desert but im sure it will be great. Thank you Sal’s”
“The place has the best, most fresh, tasting burgers I have eaten in a while. The hamburgers actually taste like hamburgers. Vegies are very fresh, patties are cooked to perfection. The buns are soft and good sized. The place has a good, mellow vibe. The prices are very affordable. $13 por a hamburger combo. My new to go place for burguers.”

Kid-friendliness: I personally don’t have any kids but when there are kids, the workers are always super nice and friendly to them. As well as with the highschoolers around the area.”

“I ordered their BLTA on sourdough and a fruit tart. The sandwich was absolutely DELICIOUS!! All the ingredients were crisp and fresh, and the bacon was crispy but not at all burnt! It was literally the best bacon sandwich I've had since moving here. It's a simple comfort food but they absolutely nailed it!! The fruit tart was a delight as well!! The cream was light and sweet with a heavenly tart crust.
The shop's interior was clean and beautifully decorated and they made me feeling right at home. (Also their bathroom was clean and smelt so nice!)
I hope to return soon and try out even more if their pastries. They had some super delicious looking things like a baclava cheesecake and a blueberry scone!!”
“My first love is ice cream.. but key lime pie is my second. And how amazing to find a key lime pie that's like a combo of the two!! Perfectly sweet with just the the amount of tang, and a cool firm texture that will actually amaze you on the first bite. And that doesn't even mention their cookies... of almost every type. My 6-yr-old will forego any other dessert for their cookies. And, frankly, they have the best fruit pies around. The crust, the filling... these people care about every last detail. Go get one.
Kid-friendliness: Best cookies ever.”
“Tuesdays if is Allie, excellent bartender. I recommended go on Tuesdays, she is very Attentive and always has great atmosphere, the vas has Pool tables ,fun place to enjoy time with friends when is a nice bar tender. The bar Do No sell food . But allow you bring your food.”

“It is very disappointing that your restaurant runs out of chile verde so early in the day. I was told that your restaurant's manager only allows a small amount to be made each day event thought it's a very popular item. Doesn't make sense that you don't want to make more to accommodate your clients. This is why I only gave you a #4 overall rating!”
