Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Fountain Valley

Great service and super helpful servers, for a first time visit the view was astonishing and the food was a nice little treat would recommend the sliders and there red ale very sweet and smooth.

We had a lovely Valentine's Day dinner at this steakhouse and overall, it was a great experience. The oysters were fresh and delicious, especially the Kumiai variety – a perfect start to the meal. The calamari was tasty but a bit on the undercooked side, the Caesar salad was fresh and crisp, a nice addition to our appetizers. For sides, the au gratin potatoes were rich and flavorful, but the spinach was a bit too salty for our taste. However, the highlight of the evening was definitely the porcini-rubbed bone-in ribeye with 15-year-aged balsamic. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavor – highly recommend this dish! Overall, the food was great, with just a couple of minor hiccups. It’s definitely a place I’d return to, especially for that amazing ribeye!

What a great Valentine’s Day theme! We double dated and it was our first time going there so we had a lot of fun. The music was great, loud but not too loud where we couldn’t have a conversation. They filled up the place with many red floating balloons and looked so festive. The special Valentine’s menu was top notch with great selections no matter what diet you’re on. Service was always attentive even as crowded as they were. Great memories were made and we can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I come here often. Most times, we sit in the bar area. Tonight, we chose the bars hightop rather than the actual bar, because we wanted to have dinner and not just appetizers. The bar is lively during its peak times, and service is good, but the staff are stretched because they often times have just two persons serving drinks and food. They're friendly enough and are happy to grab you whatever you need, but be prepared to make it known that you want to order if you're not getting fast enough service. Request a restaurant menu if you desire more than appetizers. The prices are appropriate for this type of restaurant, and the food is decent enough, but you won't find fancy plating or unusual food preparations. They do the standard seafood grilling or baked preparations with added traditional sauces. The warm and crusty sourdough bread is off the hook. The bar area is quite noisy, so choose the back dining area if you don't appreciate loud music or the bar's liveliness. For those of you who pay with a credit card, know that there's an upcharge of almost 5%. I would advise you to bring cash if that doesn't thrill you.

My most favorite place in OC, i didn’t get a server for 40 min and ended up ordering at the bar but otherwise it was a fun night. Enjoyed with friends
