    A++++ Last night was my second visit, and it will not be my last. We requested the bar area. It was perfect for my two sons. It was her first visit.. I appreciate that the restaurant has different seating areas that you can try out and decide which is best. Food was amazing. Scallops and Chilean Sea bass wee cooked to perfection. My son’s medium + rib eye was right on point. We both wish they would offer the Porter house option.  Their cookies and cream gelato cake was a perfect ending.  I believe our waitress had too many tables,therefore it wasn’t the service level i experienced on my first visit.  definitely the best seafood and steakhouse. I believe in Orange County.
