“😃New Favorite Place!!!! Rancho Santa Margarita in the Dove Canyon Plaza. We really needed a great breakfast place in town. It has tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Super nice place to meet friends, have a group or get some work done. 🥐Beautiful cafe, great service. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. 👍The Chef delivered our food, the owner visited with us and poured our coffee. Delicious almond croissant, coffee and amazing avocado toast. ‼️This place is a must try!!! #Dovecafe #breakfastinranchosantamargarita”

“Came Up To Work In The Area Today To Repair Some Horse Trailers And I Was Told By A Local Resident James Lacono Megan Coltrane And A Couple Of Others. What an Amazing Place. The atmosphere was incredible the outside seating area look very relaxing. It was busy when I was there so I chose to sit inside nice tables lots of TVs. The staff was amazing and the owner was a very nice lady. I apologize. I forgot her name but she thanked me and it was just a great time. I will definitely be back.”

“I had an amazing experience at Khan Sushi! The food was super fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you can really tell that they put care into what they serve.
I’m sharing a short video of the food I ordered because it looked just as good as it tasted! If you’re looking for a great sushi spot, I definitely recommend giving Khan Sushi a try. 🍣❤

“We needed something quick while we were out and wanted something that would leave us feeling good - found Urban Plates and it exceeded what we were looking for! My grass-fed steak was tender and juicy, the mac n cheese was comforting and delicious, and the side of beets paired well with the goat cheese. My husband enjoyed his crispy chicken sandwich and fries. I love the variety of food offered at Urban Plates and knowing my body is getting high quality nutrients while enjoying something delicious!

They also offer a membership discount - worth it if you live nearby and frequent this place!”

“Great restaurant with a small, family feel. The food is amazing, and honestly at a steal of a price; the food is half as expensive and more than twice as delicious as other restaurants I've been to. I had the quatrro formaggio because I noticed gorgonzola on the ingredients list, and I loved every single bite! It was so nice to have a dish that put the gorgonzola flavor front-and-center, and the cream sauce was somehow light while still being packed full of flavor.
My wife had the lasagna, and it's easy to see why it's a favorite here. It cem out with the sauce still bubbling, and once she could dig in she described it as lightly sweet, a welcome change from some overly-acidic dishes at some other places.
The service was also impeccable, the staff was very friendly and welcoming and we felt very well attended-to. We came in about an hour or so before closing so there weren't many other customers, and we got our food impressively quickly.
Another note, if you are staying at any of the nearby hotels (specifically the row of hotels on Lake Center Drive) then this restaurant is extremely close, easily walkable if you want. It would make a convenient, delicious, and good-valued addition to your vacation.”

“Nice place, the real Brazilian açaí ☀️”

“Don't listen to the lonely negative review! I get my bowl made to my preference every time (unlike Craig Peters' post below). The staff ALWAYS respects my request to substitute blueberries for strawberries due to allergic reactions. Delicious and healthy, and never a hassle.”

“The best açaí I’ve ever had. And I’m from Brazil and know what a good and authentic açaí is! And the service at this place is outstanding! Our attendant Bryan was very kind and attentive with our order! Loved it! Thank you!”

“Crispy Palau chart fish Tikka lamb meat balls chicken sandwiches all were amazing”

“I came in with my 10 year old daughter and we thought the food was amazing. The mango lassi was a perfect refresher on a hot summer day and the food was filling and had great flavor.”

“I love Indian food and this place is top notch! The service is amazing and the food unreal. We ordered vegan Dahl and tons of amazing dishes. So grateful to have found this”

“Lovely little bakery. Generously sized pastries and a good selection of drinks, including matcha lattes. The flavors of pastry include a wide variety like pistachio, strawberry, and hazelnut. Their namesake saffron cake is delicious and beautiful. The staff are always warm and welcoming.”

“I had such a wonderful experience at Trattoria Trullo! Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating to my party, and they truly made us feel so well taken care of. The food has such a delicious, homey and comforting feel—the spaghetti was amazing, the focaccia bread was so good, and the Hugo Spritz was the perfect drink to go with everything. I highly recommend this place not only for the quality of the food, but also for the exceptional service and genuine kindness of the staff. They made our experience feel special, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“My partner and I stopped in this afternoon and got the best croissants and chocolate cake we've ever had. Definitely the best patisserie / bakery in Orange County. Stop by early for a wider selection because this place is -- for good reason -- extremely popular.”

“The food is amazing!!! Knee is the best waitress ever👏👏👏👏🥰🥰”

“A Japanese coffee roaster focused on hand-brewed coffee - I really enjoyed the Ecuador pour-over which tasted clean and bright. The beans are all roasted on site, with a massive selection available to purchase. It was refreshing to visit a cafe so dedicated to the craft of pour-over coffee!”

“The food was really good! The server was super friendly and brought our food to us really quickly! Came in the evening, the room is a tad dark but the beef/lamb gyro bowl was really good, there's a larg portion of meat that was too much for me, so I personally would go with the steak souviaki instead. Fries also are soft without crisped edges. The Strawberry dragonfruit tea was amazing! Loved it a lot, thanks for the meal!”

“Had dinner again with our favorite server, Eleasha. She never skips a beat. She’s always smiling and keeps us on our toes laughing. Love coming to see her when we are in town. Sirloin was great tonight. But we don’t come for the food. ❤️❤️”

“I'm super happy that this restaurant has lived up to my expectations so far. I feel as though there are only a small amount of cons I have for this place. We have received their chips and salsa, and it is one of the best salsas I've ever had because it reminded me of Chevys' salsa but slightly sweeter. For those of you who know what place I'm talking about, it is the Chevys that used to be in Anaheim on Santa Ana Canyon Road before the restaurant El Cholo took over. Anyway, the meal I ordered was the Carnitas platter, and I liked it. As for my boyfriend he got the Green Sauce Enchilada and he thought it was okay so I decided to try it and I didn't like it at all. The reason why the enchilada didn't taste appealing to me is because it had cumin seasoning in it. I think if they removed the seasoning, the enchiladas would taste a lot better, in my opinion. Also, I almost forgot that I also had their matcha latte, which was good.The matcha latte was good because they let me make it slightly sweeter that way the matcha wouldn't be too bitter and it wasn't which I liked. 🍵For dessert, my boyfriend and I ordered the flan, and it tasted really good. I was also happy that my boyfriend enjoyed it, so we would definitely order that again. Last but not least, the customer service was great, and I'm glad there are still some people who try hard to give the best customer service. So my boyfriend and I will definitely come back for the chips and salsa and the flan.Also, a warning for people just trying this place for the first time: I recommend that you bring a smaller party since this place isn't too big. 😊”

“The staff here is excellent!!!! These guys are always running around doing their best to serve people. I FORGOT you okay it the front so bring cash for a tip. I felt I didnt5 leave as much as I sgould have, I'm sorry. Really awesome and welcoming. Haven't been here since I was a kid. Totally fun for the nostaliga love. The salad bar was awesome, glad to see it open again. Good prices for everything as well. Life you get tons of healthy options here! They still have the cheese toast! That was my treat with the salad. The food is good and simple. Perfect spot for picky eaters, I saw plenty of kids getting food and actually eating it.”

“Loved their chocolate desert!”

“Amazing Vada pav like in Bombay & Maharashtra, fantastic orange dry chutney, fresh fried green chilly and yummy green, tamarind chutney, best Kokam sharbat, masala chai in kulhad, not sweet at all. Mango ice cream, lassi was fantabulous. Kanda bhaji kurkurit like in India, with chat powder. Hmmm. Maja aa gaya, great service, fast n polite. Chef was busy still came n met vaaaa, shrimp masala n lamb chops just like in back home restaurants. Took home lot of food, not pricey at all, gonna try all items n invite more friends n coworkers. You made our day. Sharing in my status all pictures n taste.”

“Excellent meal at The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill! Fresh, flavorful Mediterranean dishes with quality ingredients—gyros, souvlaki, and sides were all outstanding. Everything tasted authentic and well-prepared. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. Great value and consistent quality. A real standout for Greek and Mediterranean food in Ladera Ranch. Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be back!”
