Greenhouse restaurant with garden patio, locally sourced SoCal dishes
"Chef/co-owner Michael Reed and co-owner Kwini Reed are behind this gorgeous perch in the Anaheim Packing District. Poppy & Seed epitomizes the SoCal lifestyle with a lounge and bar nestled inside a greenhouse, and outdoor dining surrounded by citrus trees, herbs and flowers. As the setting hints, the focus is on organic, sustainable and locally grown (as well as raised or caught) ingredients. Settle in at sunset or under the stars to enjoy dishes such as creamy Anson Mills grits topped with gravy and plump tail-on shrimp. Charred eggplant puree and pickled sea beans lend a bite to steak tartare, while fried Brussels sprouts are sweet and salty thanks to bacon jam and pomegranate. Juicy strawberries and roasted beets make an earthy-sweet combination that could pull double duty as dessert." - Michelin Inspector

"I was bummed to see Poppyseed close — it felt like an under-the-radar gem and was one of the year’s biggest closure bummers for me." - Eater Staff
"Located in Anaheim, Poppy & Seed was named among Orange County’s New Discoveries by the California Michelin Guide." - Cathy Chaplin
"Owners Michael and Kwini Reed created a cozy modern greenhouse vibe at the Packing District in Anaheim, complete with on-site garden and patio dining. The brunch menu stems from their DTLA location, Poppy + Rose, where comfort food dishes include flaky biscuits along with fried chicken and waffles, a salmon eggs Benedict, or a braised short rib hash with a side of buttery biscuits." - Jenn Tanaka
