- DDebraVIPOrange County •211 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoDelize delivers - you can count on their kitchen to make each meal as you wish it to be prepared. Our group included those who wanted all vegetables as sides (gasp, no pasta or potatoes!) and our waiter answered "of course, no problem". We've been coming here for years and the high standards of service and the quality of the food will keep us coming back again and again.More infoDelizie Ristorante & BarPrice: Moderate• Italian• Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita•4.9

- JJoeOrange County •2 reviews4.0Dined on Mar 2, 2025No Happy Ending 😞Service was wonderful by Maria & Oscar who assisted with finding flowers and saving special table by the water for a special date. However, unfortunately the waiter didn’t seem to want to be there or just didn’t care. He was was clearly watching us but no water, no offer for expensive drink re-orders, the bill could have been doubled. ( I needed drinks for the lady 😉) No checking on us, and no desert! Said you were closing. It was around 7pm. I finally had to insist. He wasn’t too happy about that. My lady loves this place and patronizes very often. She was very unhappy & apologetic for waiters service. The food was great! Sea food enchiladas. Sat night 3/1 5pm.More infoHacienda on the LakePrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita•4.4
- DDavidSan Diego •7 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 15, 2025We expected a long wait, since it was Valentine’s Day and very crowded, but we were pleasantly surprised that we didn’t have to wait too long to be seated. The food was great (we shared a meal for two) and the service was outstanding. We didn’t catch the name of our server (the receipt says Sabrina) but she made this a fantastic dining experience. Super friendly and helpful. We are going to be repeat customers, for sure.—Dave CMore infoTodos SantosPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita•4.5
