Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Los Alamitos / Cypress

Great service and food! Would recommend 100% for family brunches

The ambiance is great for groups and gathering. Christmas decor all around. Live music in the background and great place to catch up with people. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. The in house bread are soft, moist, and freshly baked. We had 18oz bone in steak, lobster mac and cheese, corn risotto, spaghetti and meatballs, and mushrooms. All complimented one another. My aunt also got a celebration cheesecake since it is her birthday. The butter cake is so soft, moist, and decadent. Our server is so polite despite the busy night. Overall, we had a great time. Thank you and until next time.

9 of us attended Breakfast with Santa at Mrs. Knott’s. It was our first time experiencing this festive tradition here and it did not disappoint. The buffet was plentiful and varied with options for the young and not-so-young. Our group was particularly fond of the fried chicken, biscuits, gravy, yogurt and fruit, and the danish. The chicken tamales also received high praise. Santa was on site, took time to chat with the kids, and gave each one of them an adorable stuffie. Professional pics were taken with an option to purchase. The entire wait staff team assigned to our table was professional and prompt; refilling drinks, clearing plates, and replenishing napkins, etc. our entire party agreed that it was a morning well spent-together and making wonderful memories

Excellent table on patio by the fireplace provided a great dining experience which was quieter than inside . Food choices were plentiful and arrived quickly. Our server Zoey was superb! Pleasant and responsive without intruding on our conversations.

We love everything about CaliChili. It's so easy to find a parking spot and once you enter the restaurant, it's like stepping into a different world. Wonderful ambiance, a unique menu and excellent food. The service is attentive without being intrusive. We started with a new item on the menu, Calamari and French Bean. It leans into more Southeast Asian flavors and was a perfect starter. It was a cold and drizzly night, so we ordered the Dum Biryani with lamb as our main course. The meat was falling off the bone. The rice, lamb and yogurt sauce all melded together perfectly. Thank you for another wonderful meal.
