Best restaurants near me in Lake Forest, CA

My family of four enjoyed a lovely evening. We’ve been there before but this was the best owing to the fact that skewers were appearing almost every 4-5 min. Never before did the carvers arrived that quickly. Had to wave some off. Food was excellent.

Good food and great service. One of our dishes never made it out of the kitchen so we just cancelled it and they gave us free tiramisu.

We were warmly greeted by the hostess and were sat at our table within 10 minutes or less. Our server Amanda came by the table shortly and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and item specific. Throughout dinner she was attentive and prompt. The Macadamia Nut Halibut is fantastic and a must try. Their selection of oysters is also good and all were very tasty. We will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I have been coming here for 4 years and each time we’ve come it has ALWAYS been romantic whether it was during the spring, summer, fall, or winter. The ambiance is amazing and the phenomenal servers will go out of their way to make it a romantic night for any couple coming in. The food and drinks are fantastic and worth the price in my opinion. My husband loves their exclusive & unique rum choices! Our valentines day experience will be an experience we’ll never forget, it was beautiful!

Javier's is always a great choice for upscale Mexican food. This date night was on a Monday evening so it was less crowded and more relaxed. I honestly remebered the guacamole to be so much better, but it was still good. Drinks were a bit pricey. Service was A+.
