Best Californian Restaurants in Cerritos

Prepare yourself for spectacular views, upbeat atmosphere, crafted cocktails and a delicious dinner.

The ambiance and food were amazing! Staff were nice, but disorganized and inattentive…had to keep reminding about items ordered, etc.

I reserved a table at 7:30 pm for my boyfriend’s birthday so we could see the fireworks at 9:30 pm. We self parked at the hotel and our server validated it for 2 hrs. A heads up, take the West elevator to enter the restaurant. The fire works were further than we thought however, the vibes and ambiance were SO spectacular props to the DJ mixing songs that we would dance to at our table. Our server was so amazing she gave us complimentary birthday cake slice and took perfect pictures of us. We ordered Margherita pizza, truffle fries, their seasonal tempura hand roll, and churros, all were 11/10 we ate so good. We will remember this special night forever thank you for having us. Hope to dine again soon.

The food was outstandingly fresh, high quality, and creatively prepared and served. The price fixe menu of many courses seemed to climb a bell curve, with the least interesting being the shrimp chip and dip starter ‘snack’ , climbing to a magnificent crescendo with the the scallop and mussel small plate, and an equally exquisite plate of the freshest sliced kampachi. Each plate was beautiful, graced with curated vegetables, flowers, and delicate sauces that completed, never overpowered. Our only complaint: we found the dessert disappointing in flavor, appearance and texture: a choux pastry ball with a heavy dull filling, sitting on top of a scatter of what resembled stale cocoa puff cereal pieces. I would have traded it for the rich creamy mascapone ice cream served earlier, sans the caviar topping. The service was outstanding: gracious, helpful, attentive, knowledgeable and well orchestrated. Overall we had a fabulous dining experience, exceeding our highest expectations. In most every way, including price, dining here is a special occasion; we could not understand how or why most diners we observed were wearing gym clothes, T-shirts and jeans, sneakers, fuzzy slippers. What’s next: dining in our underwear? How about a dress code?!

The breakfast burger was amazing. We showed fairly early and the staff was extremely friendly but the overall service felt slow, especially for a restaurant that was empty when we arrived.
