   Fantastic new restaurant. Food is delicious. The service was prompt and friendly on a busy Saturday night. By far our new favorite restaurant in the area!

   The waiter Robert rocks. He gets an A+ along with the busboy. I had the Caesar salad, mushrooms, mixed vegetables, and a fillet mignon. Oh and the baklava cheesecake was so good.

   Amazing food and wine list. Family owned and operated. The chef is also the owner and the maitre d is the husband . Such a cute spot. You can tell the food is made with passion and love. Hidden Gem in OC

   We had a lovely dinner. The food was amazing and our server Juan was excellent and very enthusiastic. We started with the beet salad, then had the octopus, truffle tagliatelle and airline chicken. We finished with the espresso créme brulee. What a pleasant surprise to find this gem of a restaurant! We will definitely go back. I highly recommend this special restaurant.

   The service was really good. They were very attentive and made sure to take care of the table constantly. The food was hit or miss. Mostly miss. Everything looked good. It just didn’t taste the way I expected. The best dish was the tartar appetizer. Very good. The risotto was a little funky and had a sour flavor. The truffle pasta dish just tasted like a fettuccine Alfredo with a little too thick sauce. The salmon was a little burned on one side and in the corners. I think they could make some minor adjustments to fix these dishes. The restaurant was quiet and the ambiance was OK. Overall, it was a little pricey for what you get. I would have a different opinion of the cost if the food were super yummy. Unfortunately, it’s not.

   The food was very good. The service was fine. The prices were very fair. The atmosphere was less than we expected. The music was extremely loud for the hours of brunch.

   This was my second time eating here. Everything was memorable, especially the bread and the asparagus bisque, which I am still thinking about. The menu has some very creative and unusual choices, including an Octopus Al Pastor with avocado foam, pickles, lardon, pineapple relish, and fingerling potatoes. This is the kind of food you take time to savor each bite of. The service is exceptional, we felt special! I look forward to going back.

    This restaurant is a gem! The food is delicious and the service is stellar. This was our second visit, and we were not disappointed. It’s a small restaurant with really good food.
