Good variety of food and libations. They respected the history of this location and have several nods to the old Rod’s Liquors. Great location for people watching and right off the square.Parking: Parking garage one block west and a block north

Even though we made a reservation at the last minute, we were shown to a party room, which was a very calm and relaxing place to talk. One table could seat 10 people, so we were able to talk with everyone, which was great. The room was very stylish and clean. The service was very good, the food was delicious, and we had a great time.
Our server Charisse was AWESOME! Super friendly and very patient with us explaining the menu. For dinner I had the Garden flatbread which I really enjoyed and it was good portion for one person. Make sure you have reservations for weekends.

Servers were friendly and attentive, the menu offered some sophisticated choices (like the beef shortribs) along with the usual sports bar choices, and the quality of the food was really outstanding! Its close proximity to Chapman University was perfect for us, since we were attending a concert there, after our dinner. With all the restaurant choices in The Circle in Orange, we lucked out with Bosscat!

Bosscat Kitchen & Libations Old Towne Orange California location, has been a GoodzTimes/GoodVibes zone every visit (often lol).Usually a lively spot during evening with a sophisticated interior design that pay a lot of homage to RODS & we totally digg the atmosphere. The menu consists of delicious bar snacks, small plates, and main dishes, as well as specialty cocktails and an impressive wine list. The food is wonderfully prepared and the staff is attentive and friendly. Service is quick and efficient, and the atmosphere is upbeat and inviting. The bar scene can get "interesting" late at night, making it a great place to meet up with friends and share stories over drinks. Ride/Drive Safely. Even have lockers for private tequila. scotch, beer, cigars, & more.Bar is an experience. Privilege to find so many stellar beers and even more epics cocktails. The whiskey selection is beyond words...plus so many options and flights of (tequila 2 with Cruz Azul black even) tastings. Bartenders are so friendly and fun... extremely competent oldies and even make original drinks often.Prices are pretty good considering portions and extremely unique menu, & fact Chefs are trained very well and are open to making You happy & satisfied. Bar is ran same way but customers are alil more fun for some reason...lolBirdcages in front are so unique we enjoy showing them off to friends.So If you're looking for a great dinner spot in City of Orange Historical Plaza District highly recommend Bosscat Kitchen & Libations. Totally definitely worth checking out. People watching is wonderful inside or on the huge open patio.Highly Recommend ??We are very eager to go back!!!Parking: Free parking ?️-ing spots across street.Also some street parking.Kid-friendliness: Really fun place for kids. Suggest visiting before sundown.Food options are usually the first they might try or served in innovative ways. Chefs go out of way to make meals special. Have observed staff are very happy & kind when interacting with all. Very refreshing!Wheelchair accessibility: Extremely Handi-CAPABLE friendly.Layout is open and easy to navigate.Easy mobility & ADA restrooms?Enjoy

This was a first for me and it began with a very pleasant front desk greeting and a walk to my table where I quickly met Cherise, a waitperson with an attitude, an amazingly wonderful and delightful attitude. This person apparently loves her job and her joy is contagious. Did I mention that the food was delicious, potato cheese soup and the white fish entree. I will be back!

Well appointed place. Definitely has a lot of cool flair. The food was good not over the top but good. The service was good as well. Not over the top but good. They do make a great cocktail here.

Food is good with great presentation. But the coffee was blah- tasted like it was watered down. Kale salad could be better if there was more of the shredded cheese, tomatoes were yummy sweet. Cinnamon was delicious. The shredded pork tasted good though the poached egg were too well cooked.

Nice laid back place in Orange. Great drinks service is just a little slow but worth it.
Booked reservations over a week in advance for Sunday brunch. Was seated at the absolute worst table in the house. All the way in the back next to the kitchen. Put walk-ins at the back and outside or nicer tables for reservations.

We came on a busy Saturday night, we had a reservation and we're seated soon after we arrived in the covered patio area. Food was great, service was great. We shared a blue cheese salad and had the mushroom quinoa burger (super tasty) and the smashed chicken. The drinks were fun and flavorful. Our server was a lovely young woman who managed our table and many around us with skill and attentiveness. However, we did not appreciate the neighboring table's dog that was constantly under my chair and then jumped up on my boyfriend as his food was being set on the table. I'm a firm believer in leaving the dog at home for dinner. Dog friendly patio for breakfast...fine. But for a nice dinner out, I'd rather the dogs stay home. It would have been nice if the hostess had asked if we minded being sat next to the dog. The tables are extremely close together so he was literally under my chair the entire meal. We will definitely return, but will ask to sit in the dog-free zone.
