Food was mediocre. Disappointing place- felt like going to a PF Changs. Service is spotty and young, not well trained seasoned servers. Very busy place, a novelty in OC since it just opened. We ordered our appetizers and entrees and within 5 min everything was brought to the table, at once. So if you ate your appetizer first, your entree got cold. No one asked if we wanted to pace our order or warned us that they bring everything at once. We went from drinks to a table to a table full of food within a few minutes which tells... read more

Our service was terrible. We had to send back our Chilean sea bass because it was extremely fishy. We ordered the steak frites and the amount of pepper on the steak made it difficult to enjoy. Our server was very nice however we had to bus our own table and we were awaiting anyone to come by so we could order more drinks for way too long. I had to get up to ask somebody to get us a drink. We spoke to management about our experience and he was awful to his server right in front of of us. I felt terrible for her. It looked lik... read more

About of potential but at least the food was good a meats were cooked to the proper temperature. The place would be much better if the wait staff were better trained and attentive. Multiple waiters brought the wrong food and drinks to our table. Waiter almost spilled my date’s drink while reaching over her to fill her water glass. However, the noise level was so high with the other tables and the music my date and I couldn’t hear each other without yelling. Not a great first or second date spot.

With all the hype I heard, I expected more. I had the fish tacos...no flavor--seriously no flavor at all...I found 1 shrimp and I'm not sure what else was in that shell...the over-spiced sauce served on the side overpowered the fish. My husband had the burger and said it was just alright--way overpriced for what you got. The bun was huge but the burger was too small. On the other hand, our server Marshall was fantastic...one of the best servers we've every had anywhere....Some of the other staff were also wonderful. Perhaps ... read more

I am a local and have been to the restaurant on several occasions and unfortunately, my experience each time has been disappointing. When the restaurant first opened, it was five star, but between the service and the food quality it is now at best a one or two star.

Disappointing Experience Despite Special Request I recently made a reservation specifically requesting indoor seating due to the chilly weather. We were seated on the patio while we were assured the heaters would be on, the temperature control was inconsistent, as the heaters would turn on and off, likely to accommodate other customers who found it too warm. This is understandable, but given that we had requested indoor seating, it was a bit frustrating. Throughout the evening, we consistently had to flag down our server to ... read more
