    Food was exceptionally well done as always. Our server Terri was great. Only issue was finding out that Lobster Bisque was dropped from menu. Thats usually a highlight of the meal at RC. Anaheim location is getting REAL lax with dress code. I assume due to proximity of Disneyland and Convention Center but from a brand exclusivity perspective RC Anaheim is looking a lot like a “regular” restaurant rather than a destination establishment.

    My wife and I tried the 5-course menu with wine pairings and it was well worth it. We had a window view with no obstruction and got to see the Disney fireworks towards the end. The food was amazing and our server was great as well. We didn’t feel rushed at all and our server was very knowledgeable about the food and wine. This was our second time at Orange Hill and they never disappoint and highly recommend. Our reservation was at 7pm and got to the valet 5 minutes before and was able to check in and get seated quickly.

    Always love this place. The owner is always there helping, the staff is always polite, and the bartender Greg even remembered us, after having not been there for about a year. Plus? The whiskey prices are so very good. This should be a model for other restaurants.

    The amazing Madison took care of us; her friendliness and approachability made Valentine's Day Dinner extra special without seeming too formal and stuffy like you would expect from an elevated steakhouse. The steak was good, but the oyster appetizer, only found on the Valentine's prefix menu, stole the show. Hopefully they can add this to the regular menu.

    My husband and I have eaten at King’s Fish House multiple times. We also have brought family friends just to enjoy a great meal or celebrate something special. The location is great and close to home. Plenty of parking is available. With reservations we are seated on time and are even able to look for a preferred table to sit at. From the front desk to the host, servers , manager and chef everyone treats us with special service. The menu is made up daily with fresh fish from around the world. The food is fresh and delicious. Service is fantastic and everything we ask for is provided. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and Valentine’s Day at the restaurant and ordered dessert to go. We were given a generous serving for both of us. The manager even took our left over food and boxed it up to take home. The background music is low enough to hear and not too loud. The service and food is Always high quality.
