Great place with great quality food however its not the only place in Newport Beach you can get good quality food plus customer service. The customer service was absolutely disgusting. Pros: Example: best croissants in town Cons: What are the drawbacks?

My boyfriend and I had dinner there our last night in Newport Beach and it was one of the best resturants that we have been to. We went earlier in the day to put our name on the list since it was a Saturday night and when we arrived they had our table ready for us. The food was really delicious!! My boyfriend ordered the prime rib which was juicy and really good with the mashed potatoes!! I had the roast chicken with mashed potatoes and it was simply yummy. We shared a ceasar salad and even that was really good!! We had a really great time and the waitstaff was really friendly!! I can't wait to go back to Orange County and have dinner here again!! Pros: Great food and service Cons: loud, sort of expensive

This is a large restaurant/bar/hot spot, and gets very crowded. Waits can be long for a table or a stool at the bar, but it does have great food (Try the Macho salad, cornbread, salmon, banana cream pie) People at the bar seemed a wee too dressed-to-impress, but maybe they're part of the decor...

Wait was longer than hostess told us. Long wait for service after we were seated. Food was bland and tasteless. For the price, there were no extras such as bread and service was poor. After an hour wait, it was disappointing. Pros: comfortable waiting area Cons: everything else

After a longer wait than the hostess had estimated, we were seated at a nice booth for an equally long wait for service. This would have all been acceptable if the food had been as good as touted, but we found the chicken and lamb to be utterly bland, and side dishes uninteresting, except for the spanish rice which was overly peppered. The only defense of the chicken is it was not dry, but otherwise it was quite ordinary. The whole experience was a bit like a Disneyland ride - an hour-long wait for a few minutes of fun, except in this case not a ride I'd do again. Pros: nice waiting area where they serve drinks Cons: food not worth the wait

Sat night at 7ish this place was packed with an hour and half wait. This has got to be some great chicken.....NOT!!!!!! I don't like to find under cooked chicken in my salad with a lot of grizzle. Ribs were good. Still not worth an hour & half wait. If it's trendy your after, there's many other options even as close as Newport Beach or Laguna. Pros: None Cons: difficult parking, long wait, bad food, bad service

If the restaurant manager Todd is such an awful and rude person, that goes to show the whole restaurant service as a whole. It was a disappointment to speak with him over the phone to make a dinner reservation for my husband's birthday. He was rude, short and definitely not friendly. Instead, it was as if I was hassling him for a favor. After being fed up with the rude conversation, I asked if he was the restaurant manager, and to my disbelief he said "yes" in a cocky manner. He is a disgrace to the restaurant because the food is excellent. But service and food has to go hand in hand, and in this case he needs to be fired. Pros: Food Cons: Service

Our family of four, loves this place. I do recommend that if possible you get there when they open ( I believe it's 4:30 ) because they get crowded right away. We literally plan the day we go...usually a Saturday and will get there about 4:15 and sit in the car and wait for the place to open ! We have gone later and waited, and it wasn't too bad, as long as you can find a place to sit. The waiting area is nice and large, and on cool nights the fireplace will be on. This area can be chilly, because even though it's covered, it's all open on one side. We have two kids 14 and 7, and they love it here. The atmosphere is dark and soothing ( good for you single people on dates ), but also good for us married folk !! We always start off with the Cornbread...yummy...sweet, kinda crispy on the outside, warm and soft in the inside. The kids always get the "kids" chicken and cheese sandwich...although there's really no official kids menu here, they have a few things good for them. And man let me tell you, that little sandwich is so good, lucky for me and my husband our daughter never finishes her sandwich....darn !! we have to finish it for her !! Now, me and my hubby usually get the same thing... the Macho Salad, which is the BEST, a great mix of all different things, including dates and moist chicken. You have to try this one. The sandwich we get is the lamb sandwich, which is thinly sliced on a great bread, and their mashed potatoes are delicious. The kids get Dove Bars after they eat, but my only complaint is that they don't have the best or biggest variety of desserts. The place is always crowded, and we've never had a bad server. We love it here, and sometimes in the fall, they will put "Chili" on their menu...if your lucky enough to catch this item, you gotta get it. Pros: good food,good service, great atmosphere Cons: not a big dessert selection
