   Honestly, this was the worst meal I’ve ever had. The staff seemed nice upon arrival, and the gentleman at the front desk was very welcoming. However, once we ordered from the prix fixe Valentine’s Day menu, things went downhill fast. The starter was cauliflower—literally one small piece that looked like it had been dipped in purple dye. When I asked for bread, they told me it wasn’t part of that course and that I had to wait until the next one. The second course was a radicchio salad that tasted like pure vinegar. My friend ordered the pork shank, which was decent, but I had a medium steak with shrimp that was absolutely disgusting. The service was painfully slow, the food was outrageously overpriced, and I felt like I had stepped into the Twilight Zone. It was an awful experience from start to finish. I would never return, and if I could give it zero stars, I would.

   James, the General Manager, is always a pleasure to talk to and makes sure that everything is perfect. Same holds true for Rebecca, Valerie and all of the servers. I have dinner here whenever I have tickets to Segerstrom theater productions. It's convenient and the experience is always excellent.

   We’d love to see more vegetarian dishes. Our server did a great job of helping us avoid hidden ingredients but it would be great to have more entree options . Its the perfect place to eat before a night at the theater and the service is always impeccable.

   What a wonderful evening. Allison was our server and she was excellent. Service was wonderful. The lamb chops were delicious, gem salad great, and poached pear interesting. The s’mores cakes was an incredible dessert journey. The restaurant is beautiful and close to the Segerstrom theatre.
