The entire experience was amazing! The Salty Pear martini was wonderful. The calamari was the best we’ve ever had. It was cooked to perfection with a light ginger type sauce. The 2nd course was the mushroom soup and it was outstanding! My husband had the boneless ribeye. It was perfectly crusted and pink in the middle. I ordered the scallops. They are blackened and had a curry sauce drizzle. So delicious! And then we squeezed in the Madeline dessert! Simply amazing!! I think it was the best meal I’ve ever had! Everything was amazing. It’s hard to find a restaurant that hits ALL the boxes. Well done!!!

Overall, it was very good. Cameron are waiter was excellent. But there was a lady next to us by herself with her large dog that was out of control and barking that did deter from some of the evening. I wish the manager would’ve asked her to leave, as we all, including other tables in the restaurant, paid good money to be there.

Ashton was amazing. Dinner was so good. We did mine and sister’s birthday there. Pork chop and steak was cooked to perfection. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious. We loved their flower bread with butter.

Had an absolutely amazing time yesterday for my birthday, everybody there treats you like you are at home – such a luxurious, most amazing quality of food. The sushi was very much comparable to the highest restaurants of sushi that I’ve experienced. Definitely need to try this place out.♥️ everybody had costumes on yesterday. It was such a vibe! The food was absolutely immaculate. I only had one drink, so that’s how you know it was extremely fantasique !💅🏻✨🫰🏻 i’d rather come here than Nobu any day

    Great service and food on patio. Had several different appetizers, bacon wrapped dates, lamb chop lollipops, tomato soup and beet salad. All super. Affogato with vanilla ice cream for desert. Not noisy since outside patio. Good place to eat before any show at the Segerstrom, and free parking part of deal!
