    Very good, it’s been this way past few years we have dined. The best way to dine is “Family Style” and add on some apps to share and choose the carbs…we like steamed jasmine rice, and garlic noodles. The Orange peel chicken is great…butterfish and the sizzling Ribeye!! *Get the ribeye med rare and it will continue cooking to med. yummm. Didn’t table side ice cream it was delicious and came with a fresh baked chocolate cookie.

    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.

    Picked this place for team holiday luncheon and it was a great choice. The restaurant was nice and quite to have good conversation. The food was very good. Not a big fan of Italian cuisine but I will come back. That’s how good it was. I had their lunch special, which some sea bass with crab stuffing. The price is also reasonable for a company event, around $70 per person. We did not have alcohol but did order appetizers and desserts to share.
