   Our waiter made our experience great. I ordered a med rebate ribeye and as I cut into it he noticed from afar it was overcooked. He offered to get another steak which I declined but they ended up comping our first round of cocktails. The food was superb. We came during the OC restaurant week. There was a live vocalist who played guitar during dinner, ambiance was relaxing yet lively as there is a beautiful full bar.

   The restaurant is located in the Paseo Hotel, a beautiful boutique resort in Huntington Beach. From each seat in the restaurant, there is a lovely ocean view The ambiance is pleasant and our food was delicious. Notable choices were the salads, poke bowl, lamb chops, and seared ahi. The rosemary fries in duck fat were beyond compare. The service and staff was warm and delightful. I recommend this restaurant for a special occasion with family or date night.

   Food presentation is outstanding. Several of the dishes were unnecessarily spicy. Overly spicy. The view is fantastic, but extremely loud from the traffic on PCH, in addition to live music and lively guests. It was hard to hold a conversation without yelling.

   Our server, Jake, was so knowledgeable about literally everything on the menu— food and drinks. The vibe and ambiance is beautiful during the day and there was an acoustic live guitarist who added to the setting. The food was great.. sounds funny but even their yogurt was absolutely incredible! Highly recommend— 5 stars across the board!

   Surprised that menu changed from my last visit. And not in positive way. Limited what I could eat. My cocktail was tasty The burata toast was good. The poke was so so. The kale salad looked nice but had absolutely no flavor. Very expensive evening with a very overall mediocre meal. Atmosphere is lovely heaters worked wonderfully. Final impression. Nothing to be on my list to return unless menu changes.

   The service is top notch and the food was amazing. You have to try the shrimp and grits appetizer.

   Very aesthetically pleasing and delicious food. Had a dinner date and tried the Prime NY strip. It was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back!

   We did the Valentine's Day pre fixe menu. Overall ok experience. The oysters - we each got 1- were frozen. The salad was good. The Sole was ok, but it was one fish for 2 people- not a lot for the main dish. Dessert was nice to look at, but the red powder on the chocolate heart stained our fingers and white napkins. The red velvet cake staked in viciously chocolate was super rich, the chocolate covered Strawberries were great! Great tableside brownies and ice cream. The special drinks of the night were overpriced. I had a great mocktail, but I had to special order it, as I was told their mocktail menu ended in January? Our server was great. Our table was in the middle of the room, but the door to outside was always open and the wind coming in had us all wearing our jackets. I'd like to go back to try the regular dinner menu on a regular night.
