   We have eaten at every nice restaurant in the area and this is the one that delivered!! Recently the prices at good restaurants have gone through the roof so we were looking for a gourmet experience with a decent price point - and we found it!! Service is impeccable - thank you Chris - and the food is exceptional. The CRISPIEST of brussel sprouts with a delicate but perfect fennel sauce. Meat balls cooked in a beef shoulder braise and garlic bread toasts to die for. And salmon crudo in a passion fruit broth - so refreshing and unique. My husband had I shared the oxtail - exceptional. I grew up eating oxtail and have never had it with such Asian flavor and crispy edges. We took the bones home to make bone broth . Thank you.

   This is a great new spot. I met the owner, manager and chef on my last visit. They truly understand hospitality and the food is outstanding!

   My wife and I had a great first experience at Griffin‘s. The ribeye was excellent as previously reviewed by others. This is a definite date night spot for us! We love it. Will definitely be going back! Thank you

   The food tasted very good. My only complaints were: 1) The menu is very limited, appetizers, main course and desert. What we did order taseted very good. 2) Bread was an incremental charge for the table. We will definitely come again, and hope for an expanded menu:)!

   It’s great to talk about the good things and best not if things are not so great.

   Our server was nice but service was slow. Slow to get cocktails out. Appetizers came out before cocktails and I don't prefer the " family style" where main dishes are brought out individually instead of together. We were a party of four. The first dish came out then the second dish 10min later then the 3rd dish 10min later so the 4th person didn't get his meal until 20 min after the first person received their meal. The Burrata needed more seasoning and when I asked for salt and pepper the manager looked insulted. Fish had bones, sausage was burnt and dried out. The oxtail and fried potatoes were the best picks on the menu. More than likely Won't go back. Too bad cuz I was looking forward to having a new restaurant in town. But they will have a lot of competition with Chop House, Reunion and Tempo being next door. I would rather go to any of those restaurants instead.

   I recently visited this fantastic new restaurant in Brea and had an unforgettable experience. From the moment. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a modern feel. The service was top-notch throughout the evening. The food was exceptional. I started with the brussels sprouts—definitely a standout. The potatoes were similarly impressive, crispy yet soft, with just the right amount of seasoning. As for the steak, it was cooked to absolute perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Their drink menu didn’t disappoint either. The cocktails were expertly crafted, with a range of options to complement the meal. Overall, it was an incredible dining experience. I highly recommend this spot if you're in the area—delicious food, fantastic drinks, and impeccable service. Definitely a place I’ll be returning to over and over!

    Food was fantastic, we ordered the Brussels sprouts, shrimp tacos, pork chop and the hamachi crudo. The service was fast and the environment was enjoyable. Great spot
