Don't Waste Your Time – To be consistent with the other reviews the Customer Service was terrible. Not only will I never eat there again but the old saying of if one person has a bad experience and then they tell 10 others - well! I took my parents who were visiting from out of town and my daughter and was very excited about trying this place. My mom wanted the Baby Spinach salad with organic greens instead of spinach and I wanted the same salad but without goat cheese since I don't eat goat cheese. Silly me - I made the mis... read more

Very bad customer service. Won't ever try to eat there again – I have to agree with the "terrible service" review again. I'm guessing that things go well enough most of the time, but from the various reviews out there, it really seems like these bad experiences happen pretty frequently...

Best restaurant for amazing food, ambiance, and overall dining experience! – This is the coolest and most delicious restaurant I've been to in OC in years. It's intimate without being crowded, hip without being pretentious and the food is legitimately wonderful. You can taste the fresh ingredients in everything and the original spin the chef puts on classics like mac and cheese and paninis are really cool. I'm going to go back once a week until I've tried everything on the menu.

Terrible service, what a waste – I came with a business client hoping for a classy and unique dinner experience. Unfortunately, I left feeling embarrassed to have taken him here. The service is borderline rude and absentee and starts off with a pitch for the tasting menu that is reminiscent of a used-car salesman in how aggressively it is promoted. Rather than describe the menu's ingredients and flavors, our waiter went on and on about it being the best value (perhaps attempting to counter the fact that it is also the most e... read more
