New American Restaurants near Yorba Linda, CA

“Michelin-Level Experience at Outback Prices The Wild Artichoke in Yorba Linda is a hidden gem. I was expecting something entirely different — and was pleasantly surprised in the best possible way. We started with the smashed potatoes and endive salad, which made for perfect appetizers: light enough not to spoil our appetite, yet full of flavor to whet it. The portions were ideal for sharing with my wife. For our main courses, we ordered from the lunch menu. I had the Wagyu burger, and my wife went with the tempura fish and chips. I’m not sure how they did it, but every bite was incredibly well-balanced. The fish had a crispy exterior, just the right touch of Maldon salt, and a beautifully firm, flaky interior. The tartar sauce was exceptional — rich, creamy, and unlike any I’ve had before. The burger was a standout. Each ingredient was distinct and purposeful — no unnecessary fillers. Every component worked in harmony to deliver deep, layered flavors in every bite. We ended the meal with the Basque cheesecake, which was beautifully presented. It wasn’t overly sweet, and the perfectly burnt top paired wonderfully with the sweet berry compote. A special treat was getting to meet the head chef. What a pleasant surprise. He shared the story behind one of his dishes and mentioned that every item on the menu has its own story and purpose. That passion really comes through in the food. I’ve dined at many fine restaurants, and I can confidently say the quality here rivals places charging $150–$200 per plate. The value is extraordinary for the caliber of cuisine offered. This is a truly special hidden gem — perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or an intimate dinner date. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!“

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

“Place is down the way from work pancakes are bomb I always get the number 20 pancake breakfast and there loaded breakfast burrito is great!!!!!“

“As a celiac afflicted person it was such a pleasure to eat in a fully dedicated gluten free restaurant. All the foods a celiac craves but cannot have in other restaurants is here in gf form. French fries perfectly crispy, fried chicken and lovely pasta to name a few we tried. Wonderful assortments of ice cream. Chef came out and talked to all the diners, it was a terrific dinner. Wish I lived closer.“

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!“

“Good morning,
Must give credit to this Stand location in Chino Hills.
Its a great place to be, The service is Amazing and the food is great, very delicious.
My hat off to Douglas Hernandez.
Thank you
We will be back again,“

“Great beer and food. Recommend the firecracker shrimp appetizer“

“Great menu with lots of diversity...there is something for everyone. We usually go with 3 to 4 people in our party and often share because that allows us to try more of the menu and we have always enjoyed each and every item we have selected from the menu. Beer selection is great...almost as large as the food menu. I have always had good service at all of the Finney's I have been to for lunch or dinner... Orange, Brea and Camarillo. Great restaurant!! I would highly recommend you try it...you will not be disappointed.“

“5 STARS FOR PHILIP!!!

Big fat ZERO for the manager who was too busy flirting with the hostesses to care that guests who were told the wait was 20 minutes were still waiting after 50 minutes and we would have gone elsewhere if they gave a crap and told us it would be a long wait. So... Once we finally got seated after almost an hour's wait, Philip saved the night with great service and attentiveness. (It was a birthday for my friend, and I told the hoelstesses, but the front desk didn't tell the server about the birthday so no birthday dessert for my friend) 😞

The hostess service and manager really could have been better. At one point there was a group of 5 or 6 employees (including the manager) at the front hostess station with a CROWD of waiting guests. It was not a good look because it looked like they were loafing around while guests were waiting and waiting and waiting. They didn't offer us an alternative seating location (outside) after we had been waiting double the time they said the wait was. Not sure I'll be back for a little while ... They wasted my time and I didn't like the lack of care or communication.“

“we traveled with our Golden Retrieve and this place lets you bring your dog. the food was great and the price was really good as well. definitely would recommend this place.“

“We stopped in from Ohio and ate, and it was the best chicken parm we have ever had. We got the chicken parmesian poutine and the Philly cheese steak sandwich and split it, and there was more than enough for two people. I would definately return here.“

“My wife and I, plus my daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Breanna were very much please with our dinner last night. Michael our server came out and created us, by saying it was so nice to see you here again. Michael remember our drink order and promtly brought it out to us. The job Michael did from start to finish was amazing. From getting our order out on time and the desert was perfect for my granddaughter Breanna and my wife's as well. Always asking if everything came out right and if we needed anything else. What a perfect evening and servers like Michael make us want to eat here often. Thanks again to you Michael for giving us a beautiful evening.“

“Make reservations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s otherwise it’s a long wait.“

“Well. My Parents Dan & Wendy Went To See Brad Johnson And The Band. At The Ranch Saloon. Julie & I Can Wait To Dance Together Too.“

“I stopped by after many years and I am so glad I did. The quality of the food truly impressed me. The barbecued pulled pork sandwich was incredibly tender and packed with rich, satisfying flavor. I also enjoyed a perfectly balanced Amaretto Sour that complemented the meal beautifully. The potato salad was fresh and delicious, adding the perfect touch to the plate. Everything tasted wonderful and made the visit completely worth it. A solid five star experience.“

“Everything is great at Nick's I hear. Im kinda stuck on the Ch Burgers and Fries. The whole bunch of them are super cool and go out of there way to make sure your happy.. The touch up you made to the store the last few years are nice. Thanks so much for being the best in Town.“

“First time visit! We will be back! Fabulous dig-friendly patio! Adorable and vintage indoor seating. Vast menu! Quality food! Great service!“

“We dined at Amarith Table last night for the first time and can't wait to tell all of our friends about what a Great Restaurant it is. There is literally something on the menu for everyone. The food is delicious ontop of being all organic. The service was top-notch: friendly & efficient. Every staff member came to our table to introduce themselves and to see how things were. When we left we felt like we were part of The Amarith Family. We cant wait to Come Back...Woohoo!“

“I couldn’t wait to share our experience at Benchmark restaurant in Santa Ana California. Everything about this place is perfection! It was a hot day, but the beautiful outdoor dining area was cool and breezy underneath the beautiful trees. Our waitress was knowledgeable, wonderfully friendly, and attended to all our needs. Each of us ordered a different item on the menu and I had to taste everything. I had the Spanish omelette, which was delicious, the burger seems like a very popular item understandably because that along with the delicious fries was exceptional. Enchiladas with mole were a wonderful treat, and the French toast was probably the hit of the table. This wonderful brunch dish was not exceptionally sweet, which made it so perfect. Some places just overdo it with the sweetness. We will definitely be going back many times to tryout dinners and more of the selections on all of the menus. I will also be spreading the word because this is probably my favorite place in Orange County now. Thank you Benchmark for a fantastic experience!“

“Zov’s is a very nice place, with a friendly atmosphere and staff, and great food!!“

“The Hangar Steak was delicious as was everything“

“I Love This Place Their Food And Drinks Are Delicious Their Service Is Great.“

“We relaxed and enjoyed the end of a busy day here and the gentleman who served us let us know as we paid our tab it was his first day. He was professional and very pleasant. Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“

“We recently found this gem of a place and were warmly welcomed and constantly attended to. Now, mind you, this was on a Monday morning at 9:30am when most people are working; however, people should realize that weekends are much busier times for dining and plan accordingly! The atmosphere was awesome, warm and welcoming. We were attended to by no less than 4 different people making sure we were cared for; the food was very fresh (they have vegan options too) and the coffee was yum. When I heard the name of this place, I knew it would be fantastic; check it out and see what you think.“

“This a spot you should pay a visit if you’re in Anaheim. It feels like a genuine crafthouse, which sets it apart to the disney-atmosphere most bars have here. The burgers are so-so good: high quality and tastful rather than just greasy and overly large portions. The beer selection is huge: over 30 local brews from tap. Happy hour seems quite busy, possibly best to avoid (16:00-17:00).“

“Excellent service great views awesome food“

“Fun little spot. I went on a Tuesday night. It was an older crowd. But they had a live trivia game there, so that was kinda cool. It was our first time there. My adult daughter said she wanted to see the passing trains. She also said the drinks were really good. Guy serving us was hustling and was really nice.“

“My Chimichurri steak wrap was soo good🔥!“

“straight to the point. this place is outstanding from the food to the service to the ambience 100% satisfied special thank you to our server gracie. she did a excellent job“

“Food is so good ! Service is awesome !“

“Best dinner of my life?? I’m too tipsy because I got the wine pairing, but as far as I can remember, yes- best dinner of my life. The sushi was impeccable. The tempura was the best I ever had. The avocado tempura?? A sensual experience. I was SO disappointed to hear they’re closing down permanently by summer. You must try this place before we lose this chef to Spain.“
