The BEST hangout place in south of OC for all ages! The food is great with many fresh options for adults and kids. They have many entertainment options on some weekdays and weekends, follow their instagram and you’ll know what nights. Their line dancing night was super fun. The play area for the kids is a big plus. Easy reservation through open table. I don’t remember the last time we all had so much fun going out for dinner. Cannot wait to go back!

I've taken the family a few times now. It seems like the outside dining area has improved each time. The Sunday brunch was amazing. The food was great, the service was outstanding, and the cornhole boards in the sand area were a super nice touch and really added to the "family friendliness" feel. Highly recommend for a nice weekend outdoor eating experience. 👌🏽

The ambience was fantastic. Carson, the server was absolutely amazing, Very attentive, sweet and funny. The band and music was perfect, great songs, very mellow. The manager Don approached us and we thought he was very kind and polite making sure we were taken care of. I ordered the tuna tower and the baby spinach salad and it was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the eggs Benedict, and it was very good but The central part of the dish is the Canadian bacon and it was way wafer too thin, you could barely see it and taste it, so he said he would never order that dish again. Anyway, we loved our Memorial Brunch there. Well done Carson!

Expensive, but food is good! Outside area invites dogs on leash & kids to run around. Fire pits & lit up trees. Our server Christopher B was great! Loud inside with live music in bar, hard to hear at table...but, it was a Friday night & busy. Sourdough bread as appetizer was rubber like....don't order. But, Salmon & Filet & Chicken dish was good! Fun atmosphere!

Bacon wrapped shrimp with arugula was so good that it disappear before I can take a picture of it. The Mac and cheese with jalapeño was very mild. Our favorites included the coffee crusted steak and the desserts. Our server was friendly and the restaurant was lively for a Thursday night!

We went there for lunch and everything was excellent. Once we walked in we where seated by a nice hostess and served by an amazing server called “Nazmi” she’s the best. The steak was really good and The dessert “Cookie skillet” was amazing and big enough for sharing. This place is highly recommended

I got there at 6:00 and was seated right away! Two friends joined within 15 minutes. Our server took our drink orders after awhile which took another 20 minutes to receive. We had to keep asking where they were...A long wait for not being too busy. By 7:20 p.m. our server took our order. I was the first to order but the last to be served a salad. My friends kept getting their meals cold so they had to bring them twice, all the while I have no food. I didn't receive my salad until after 8:30 p.m.! The salad was okay but very small for $ 26! I've eaten here before and the food was good and the service was fine but this experience really has me wondering if it will be the same the next time.... It's a good place for music. Our server was sweet and attentive but it seemed like the Bar and Kitchen were holding her up. You def get faater service sitting at the bar I've noticed. I'm in the top 10% of nationwide restaurant reviewers on Google with over 6 million views..... If I could get some advice to newer management, it would be to increase your portions on your salads or lower the cost. This is a very inexpensive meal to make. I didn't dine inside and so I'm not sure how prompt they were that night but I would suggest some more training with the staff, kitchen and outside bar on delivery times. Maybe it was just an off night, idk... hoping to try it again... PS .. the desert was very pretty and definitely large enough to share 👍

Came here to celebrate my 8 year wedding anniversary. This is my first time ever eating at this restaurant. My wife and I both ordered the braised short rib. Though it was good, I have to admit it tasted like a glorified pot roast and not like other pot roast I've had from other restaurants. The plate came with mashed potatoes, but felt like they chinced out on the portion size. Other than that, the atmosphere was great as well as the service. One last thing that I wanted to mention was that our server totally blessed us by bringing out a complimentary dessert because of us celebrating our anniversary. Kudos to the service!
