“I haven’t visited Mutt Lynch’s since the mid 90’s. I spent many days / nights shooting pool , listening to the Jukebox and drinking cold beers. It was so great to visit this month and meet great people and relive great memories. Thanks to Ross & Sara (h)and Victor for your kindness and helping me to feel at home. I would recommend to anyone who wants to make memories and have a Great Time. I’ll be Back.“

“We love the Alley Restaurant, my husband and I walk there quite frequently because we are in the neighborhood. The food and service is always superb. The only thing we have a problem with is the noise level. We don't like to take visitors there because we cannot hear each other talk, but we love going there by ourselves and enjoy our conversations. I had the prime rib special and it was wonderful, cooked just toperfection.“

“Awesome hang ok. Great people n great food“

“A good spot for a casual meet up for drinks and to play pool. Can spend hours here as other locals are friendly, bar staff all pleasant and good music on the jukebox. Drinks are reasonably priced and we definitely spend more on pool than drinking“

“Hands down one of the best service experiences we’ve had in a long time—thanks to Max! From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making our experience great. He knew the menu inside and out, gave excellent recommendations, and checked in just the right amount without ever being intrusive.

You can tell Max takes pride in what he does. His positive energy, professionalism, and attention to detail truly elevated our meal. Great service like this is hard to find, and Max absolutely nailed it. We’ll definitely be back and will be asking for him again!“

“First timer says really good need to go back and try something other than the lobster roll, just for a variety😋“

“Awesome service great time with family“

“The Harp Inn is a gem. Great live music, super friendly staff (including the owner), and an all-around welcoming vibe. I’ve been going here for over 10 years and it never disappoints. The Irish food is excellent — highly recommend the Irish breakfast. They also have a great outdoor patio.“

“Great craft brewery 10 minutes from John Wayne Airport. Attached to a place called the anti-mall ( never knew) with shops, restaurants, stuff..great pre-flight choice for a flight 😂😅😉“

“Loved drinking beer out of a boot! Brats and fries were awesome.“

“I recently stayed at The Huntington Beach House and absolutely loved it. The location is ideal—just a short walk to the beach, the pier, and nearby shops and dining. Tracks of well-kept outdoor space and charming architecture give it a relaxed, surf‑city vibe. The rooms felt spacious, clean, and comfortable, with pleasant decor and thoughtful touches throughout. The friendly staff made check-in easy and were attentive to any questions or requests. Dogs are even welcome at this property!“

“Coconut shrimp - so good!“

“This is a good place to bring someone who is new to the area. I feel that if you live near this restaurant, as I do, that there are other places that are better for tacos, honestly. That being said, their presentation and food is very good,“

“As part of our group's brewery tour, we visited this place and enjoyed their excellent selection of beers and tasty appetizers. We had a lot of fun, and our bartender was amazing. The variety of flavors was impressive. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended!“

“We came in an hour or so after they opened on a Friday and there was only one other table occupied.

The food was amazing!!! We ordered the spicy cajun edemame, crispy pork, and tom yum seafood fried rice. All three dishes were wonderfully prepared! Great job to the chefs!

The only thing lacking was the service, but the staff was young, but I would venture to guess that they will learn and the service will get better in time.

We will definitely be returning soon and recommend giving them a try!“

“Awesome pub on campus. Great bar food such as burgers, “stoner” fries with carne asada, nachos etc.. great kombucha beer options on tap as well as ciders.. also huge beer selection as well.
Great place to get together with friends or have some food and study. Bartenders are really nice.“
