My Salmon Pappardelle Pasta was very satisfying. Our waiter Timothy suggested the cook on my Salmon and it was the perfect choice. Job well done Tim! The Burger was devoured and the Burrata was paired perfectly with a dressing they added. Absolutely scrumptious! The ambiance is perfect. It’s a beautiful restaurant, comfortable seating, clean and great customer care from everyone.

Service was great! We were attended to very often and warmly. Although, we were there celebrating a birthday and it wasn't acknowledged during our stay, despite being in the reservation notes. Unfortunately the food was a bit of a miss. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict, and it appears the kitchen has trouble poaching eggs. Both times they made my dish, the eggs were hard boiled. Not entirely sure if I'd come back here, so this place was a bit mid for us.

Do not eat here! Food inspectors should monitor this establishment regularly.
I called the restaurant today and spoke with Tony, the bar manager, to let him know that my fiancé and I got food poisoning, likely from the chicken or mushrooms in our entrée last night. I was polite and made the call as a courtesy, hoping they would stop serving the dish to prevent other guests from getting sick. Instead, Tony implied that I was lying and took the situation personally. He said he served that entrée the night before and that no one else had called to complain, and said it could have been something else we ate that day. Having worked in the restaurant industry for years, this response is extremely disappointing. Tony also said I could not speak with a manager until Thursday, three days after we were sick all night, meaning they are willing to continue serving the dish and potentially risk making others ill because “no one else has called.” This reflects a complete lack of customer service and basic food safety awareness.

It turned out to be a very good experience. I chose this place based on reviews and location - drove from San Diego and my friend was driving from Santa Monica. First time to be in this cute town. Food (Salmon Benedict) was excellent!! And my friend's dish Chorizo Hash was equally great!!! The orange 🍊 juice though not freshly squeezed was very tasty and delicious! The owner was kind enough to lower the music volume and I've sincerely appreciated his courtesy. The staff was very attentive and welcoming / very friendly and professional. Excellent service and food. Will definitely return!

Nice little place in the heart of Old Town Orange. Parking was a challenge - get there early for this! Service was fine, menu a bit limited but I saw an Italian sandwich delivered to another table and it looked good. My colleague ordered the fish tacos. Food came quickly - colleagues tacos were delicious according to her. My sandwich, not so much. Beef was dry and they put a lot of relish and peppers that didn't help the flavor. Habanero cheese was practically nonexistent. For a work meeting, this place worked out (although had I known about parking, I would have chosen another place). If the food was better, I would probably come back, but it wasn't and I won't.

good food, good atmosphere, but the service was really fantastic! Very well knew the menu, good recommendations, very friendly service, and everything was so clean... update Jan 2026- upgrade on food quality and taste.

We love this place, my wife and I met here and we always go back for the sticky toffee pudding! But this last time we went our waiter was rude and almost seemed annoyed to serve us. It wasn't busy, it was Jan 1st. He forgot one of our drinks and was very short with us. Everyone else there is always cheery and helpful. He was not, Super weird. The food and drinks were great though, as always.

Restaurant was pretty good. Our server left us sitting 15 minutes before coming over and then I had to track him down for my printed receipt. Noise level is high here even during the lunch hour. It was hard to converse in our table of five.
Love this place. The cocktails, wine and beer selections are awesome. The atmosphere is amazing and food is phenomenal! Will definitely visit again.

Casual restaurant with global dishes. Came here for brunch with my relatives and had a reservation made in advance. Indoor and outdoor seating available. I had the salmon Benedict which came with a side of potatoes. My boyfriend liked his burger, which he was able to change from blue to cheddar cheese. The chicken and waffle was crunchy and a nice mix of sweet and slightly spicy. We split the raspberry chocolate mousse for dessert; I didn’t love the peanut sprinkles and it was heavier on the raspberry but it wasn’t too sweet, which was good. Our waiter was nice but slow in filling our waters and getting our items. Overall it was a casual place to have a meal for a big group.
