A friend and I were very excited to try the Happy Hour here. Our excitement turned to disappointment only because of things that could have easily been avoided. It wasn't crowded at all, but still the bartender was more interested in visiting with another couple sitting at the bar. We ordered at appetizer that involved no cooking and took a half hour to be served. A little more attention and a 'hi how are you?' or 'we are so glad you stopped in' would have had us hooked, but nothing. It is a nice, comfortable lounge, but it just wasn't welcoming.

We were a little hesitant to try this restaurant after reading a few of the negatives. Sure glad we took the risk. It was last Saturday, so they were busy. We had the 12 oz Filet and the Short Ribs. Along with that we tried the Crabcake and French Onion Soup. Everything was wonderful. Best crabcake and Short Ribs we have had. Service was very good, bartender made us feel very comfortable and we choose to enjoy nour after dinner drinks in the bar instead of the table. Wonderful, romantic evening. We will certainly be back!! If you are in the mood for Filet or ShortRibs or crabcake....you need to try it. The ambiance is far better and much more comfortable than Ruth's Chris, by far! Pros: Filet, Short Ribs, Crabcake, French Onion Soup, cocktails Cons: wine list, and a little pricey

This is a good French dining next to La Vie En Rose. They are open only Mon-Fri, and only dinner for Sat . and Sun. It has a romantic atmosphere, great for couples!

The decor is beautiful the food outstanding..however the experience diminishes due to lack of service. They use a team approach and no one server seems to 'own' the table...if they could get the service right it would be an A plus place.

My wife and 4 friends decided to check out this new restaurant after hearing great things about it. Driving up it looked nice, but nothing like the inside. The inside is old school meets Nuevo; it is something you have to see for yourself. It is very sinatra feeling inside, very warm and inviting but yet you feel like you just walked in to the god father of the mobs mansion. We started off with the owners recommendation of the crab cake and scallops, wow honestly I wanted to order 2 more crab cakes as my dinner, they are as good or better than flying to Maryland, because that is the only place I have had one come close. The scallops were great too, but I'm still thinking about the crab cake and it has been a week since we were there. 4 of us ordered steak, we decided to try 4 different cuts, and the 12 oz filet and the 24 oz bone in rib eye were our favorites. It is so amazing how the 12oz came out. It was a perfect crust on both sides and a perfect center. We were honestly looking at it as if it were art, because we couldn't figure out how the could cook such a thick piece of meat so perfectly, this piece of meat is a must try. Of course the bone in rib eye was more flavorful because of the cut of meat is more fatty, but oh so delicious. The New York was the best I have ever had, but I'm still not a big New York fan. I will stick to the bone in rib eye next time I go back. The owner took care of us all night, he is a very fun guy he really made the night for us. We wish the restaurant well and we will do our part in keeping this gem around. We will be back this week to try some of the seafood entrees. I?m not sure if the owner normally waits on tables or if they were just understaffed, but we will be asking for him next time too. PS. The bar may be the nicest bar in OC and the ladies he has on staff are stunningly beautiful. The bar is a must for a pre dinner drink and an after dinner drink, very fun upbeat vibe. Pros: Best steak you will find in OC Cons: Its in Orange, this place belongs in Newport Beach, NY or Vegas

I have been to this restaurant twice now since it opened a few months ago. We went there for our anniversary dinner and thought the food was good but the wine was expensive, very small pour into the glass for the price. I also went there for lunch and was impressed with the menu. The prices are little high considering the area the restaurant is in but the food is worth it.

Went here for a birthday dinner for parents. Thought we would give this place a try considering the reviews have been somewhat positive. Service: Very slow, didnt refill waters or pour our wine, and not very communicative. Food: The food was ok. However, based on the fact that you are paying the same price as Mortons, Mastros and Flemings, id say dont waste your time. The filet doesnt stand a chance against those other players. I wont be going here again when im footing the bill. :(
