“As someone who has vacationed to OC three times. We have never been to a higher end restaurant before and had no idea what to expect. The added 20 percent was a bit confusing but the food was delicious, the staff was amazing and it was a great experience for sure. I definitely didn't expect to spend what we did but it was a once in a lifetime experience for us and it was worth it for sure!“

“What a fantastic restaurant…we stopped there on Friday before leaving OC…fantastic food… We had two charcuterie boards And on each one was excellent we also had kielbasa it was something we’ve never tasted before. It was excellent. I wish I had known if I could’ve bought it or not.!!! I had the risotto and shrimp. It was out standing my husband had flank steak and he said it was to die for and my daughter‘s boyfriend had a strip
And it was cooked to perfection if you’re looking for an excellent place to eat this is it!!! I would just like to drive down six hours just to eat at this place. That’s how good it was. The service was fantastic. The wine was great.“

“My husband and I had a great breakfast experience, just a few minutes ago!! Great food - not a bunch of hoity-toity “foodie” fare - just simple dishes, sides, and combos that are prepared perfectly. Sahara Cafe is, now, on our “must visit” list! Staff is very friendly and super efficient. The cafe is homey and traditional, reminiscent of restaurants from my youth - that great diner feeling. Let’s talk about that giant cup o’ Joe… delicious, hot, and the size of a “FRIENDS” cup!! What?! Not having to wait for multiple refills?! That’s right. Not that you’d have to wait because their servers are very attentive and accommodating. Five stars, for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
