We had a great dinner at the OC Kitchen Bar tonight. Asked our server if they could make a dish that was not on the menu and they nailed it for us! Exactly what we wanted. Very friendly staff and great food! Glad to have them in RH.

I don't understand this place. Over the years since when it first opened, I've given it multiple tries, always hoping for improvement... and always leaving more disappointed than the previous time. The guy that first opened this place was an Italian tv personality... Kind of like like the food network chefs we have here. Not sure if he still owns the place, but the food quality could not be any further from that backdrop.
The pizza is the furthest thing from an authentic Italian pizza you could imagine (do they even give the dough time to rise??). I always wish the best for people so I hope they can turn it around. Then again, Google reviews average over 4 stars, so perhaps some people like it... to each their own. If some people enjoy it, so be it. Good luck.

Sometimes you really want a place to be better than it has been. I’ve been here several times since they opened. Each time unfortunately is worse than the last. Yesterday was my last visit ever. They seem
to have one waitress for the entire restaurant and maybe just one cook in the back? It took 30 minutes to even get our order in. Apps come out one at a time. The bread to go with one of the apps came out maybe 15 minutes after the meatball app had been brought to the table. The charcuterie board came out moments before the first entree. It was sparse and extremely disappointing. Two entree came out first. A pizza that takes only 90 to cook along with a seafood dish that was more potato than protein. Timing and service are just so off. You can almost sense that the server knows this and has resigned themselves to the flow and standards of this establishment. The other entrees came out about 15-20 minutes later. Risotto was inedible. The dominate taste was water and olive oil. The others pasta dishes were under seasoned and very bland. I will say the Caesar salad was fine. I won’t be back and I debated if I should even write this. I’m doing this to hopefully save someone the lost time and money until this place either gets their act together or the inevitable occurs.

Spaghetti Carbonara made with ground sausage instead of bacon , I don’t think so. Go get a better meal at Olive Garden. Oh and they don’t serve beer??

The staff could not have been more accommodating...cocktails were excellent , Gentleman Fig is a winner...pizza was really good, a cross between Napolitano and "bar" pie...pastas are fresh and sauces all house made...and not to mention the decor is a work of art!

Ordered filet, mashed potatoes and asparagus. Received broccoli rabe instead of asparagus. Ordered mozzarella stuffed eggplant parm with spaghetti, received pappardelle. The chef substitutes at will. The eggplant had little mozzarella, mostly skin, and mushy. Complained, but no offer to replace or remove from bill. Apparently, the chef is always right.
