    The food was excellent especially for a valentine’s menu. And our server Monica was awesome. She was friendly and attentive and kept checking on us even though it was busy. That’s how all waitress’s should be. The desert was really good too

    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!

    My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic dinner on Valentine's Day. We were seated at our favorite booth in the main dining room. My wife selected Prime Rib, and I had the halibut substituting mashed potatoes for the rice. We began eating at this restaurant when it opened and have enjoyed many wonderful dinners by ourselves with guests. We even hosted a large wedding reception for one of our daughters. The staff keeps this restaurant organized and running perfectly. The wait staff is always helpful and willing to do what is needed to make it a memorable dining event. These days there are painfully few restaurants that are able to consistently deliver a superb dining experience. Fortunately, the Summit House is one that can and does.

    We had one of the best experiences at the seller we were hoping for something really fun and they came out 100% the customer service with Shannon was amazing she is by far one of the best waitress we’ve ever had. The food was beyond delicious and my dad has a hard time walking up the stairs so they took their time put us through the kitchen and had the elevator take him up everyone was so accommodating and helpful. We will definitely be back.
