This was our first visit to Old Brea Chophouse, & it was a goodie!👍
Our besties recommended this place, for a special dinner, in Brea, CA. My partner & I met our friends here, for our 5:30p.m. Dinner Reservation.
The host apparently couldn't seat us, at our scheduled time, but it was a short, perhaps 10 to15
minute wait, before we were brought to our table.
We took this time, to catch up, with our dear OC friends, whom we hadn't seen in a bit.
Our group of 4 got an excellent table, featuring a comfy padded booth, which was perched several steps above a large, central dining space, at Old Brea Chophouse. First thing I noticed about this place, was it was absolutely bustling, with activity. Servers were bringing out beautiful plates of food, all willy nilly, as a completely packed restaurant of folks were enjoying their drinks & fine meals. The din of happy banter filled the room.
Myself & my good buddy ordered glasses of a lovely red Paso Cab: Austin Hope. My partner ordered a Dirty Martini, With Beefeater Gin & her bestie ordered a fruity mocktail. Each of us took turns sipping our drinks, between funny stories, that flew from our mouths.
We ordered 2 orders of the New Orleans BBQ Shrimp, one for each couple, as appetizers. They were OMG good, with 4 fairly large shrimp, swimming in an incredibly tasty sauce. My taste buds were doing high fives!
Service throughout our entire dining experience was excellent. Two servers tag-teamed, managing to be right there, every time we needed them, taking care of our every dining whim.
Mains came out, & our table got real quiet, as each of us enjoyed Old Brea Chophouse's bangin' food. My 16oz. Ribeye came out hot, & a perfect Medium Rare. I added Gorgonzola on top of it, for added flavor, but the meat was seasoned so well, it really didn't need the extra.
My partner was raving about how tender & buttery her Filet Mignon was, as was my good friend, who ordered the larger portion of this same dish.
My buddies' partner really enjoyed her Salmon, as well.
We ordered several desserts, to cap this great meal off, & our favorite, by far, was the Butter Cake, which was delivered to our table hot & yummy...so warm & buttery!
My compliments to the chefs, & servers at Old Brea Chophouse. We'll definitely be back.
