Restaurants near Orange County Museum of Art

William was our waiter, and he was amazing! His recommendations from cocktails to wine and food selections was perfection! He truly went above and beyond to make certain our experience was nothing short of amazing! The entire supportive waitstaff was wonderful! Food excellent! Must have the crab deviled eggs! And…Mac and cheese! Crab cakes! Etc…Everything was outstanding! Thank you for making my birthday celebration so special!

The restaurant is exceptionally beautiful. We had a wonderful time. Had a booth looking out. Live olive trees for the rooms. The service was outstanding start to finish. The Prosecco spritz was refreshing. Went with the fried artichokes and board. Then the kale Caesar, asparagus and petite filet (tender and cooked perfectly). I recommend all those items. Afterwards toured the stunning showrooms.

Food was great as usual. Shared the pate, which was very good. Plenty of pate, grilled whole grain bread, variety of fruits, pickled red onion, pickled green onion slices(first time having this-it was slightly sweet & tasty), & jam. For my entree,I ordered my usual Gorgonzola & Granny Smith apple with grilled chicken. MUCH better than my last visit. My only complaint last visit was the lone thin slice of apple. That’s correct. ONE slice of apple. Perhaps the kitchen supervisor was new(?). Anyway, the salad was great. My friend had the rare grilled tuna sandwich. VERY good. My last visit, my MIL had the same & was also very pleased with her choice. We will continue to be regular patrons. The food & service are great. The brief tour of the garden/nursery is a nice distraction from LA traffic & the hustle of city life.

Dined on Christmas Eve. Delicious food, felt a bit rushed, not knowing the kitchen was closing at 3:00. Totally understand, staff to go home and enjoy family. Would have been nice to have known while making our reservation.

Joey is a fantastic dining experience. The staff is phenomenal and the food is phenomenal and the vibe is phenomenal! I wish it was a little quieter but to be honest it’s not annoying noise it’s lively noise. You can tell that everyone in the building is joyful being there and that’s a good thing. Every time I go to Joey I enjoy myself.
