2023-07-30 04:23:31Food was tasty (salad bar, filet w/mashed potatoes 😋 & cheesecake dessert). Nice menu with many options.Host team and valet staff were very accommodating & our server Brooke was highly attentive.The view is superb. Just after sunset there were some fireworks going off in the distance… lovely!I look forward to my next visit. Thank you!

2023-09-13 05:00:15Celebrating our one year marriage anniversary, we decided to go to dinner at a place that came highly recommended. Not knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised by the total experience we had. The staff was friendly and attentive; congratulating us on our anniversary and going out of their way to make our evening even more special. The food and drinks were heavenly; and I dont use those words very often. Every piece of food, every drink we have felt and tasted like it was hand crafted especially for us lol. The ambience was perfect as we sat out on the patio so we could see the sunset in Northern Tustin. And to top it all off, without having to ask, they brought us out a detectible desert to cap off our experience. Definitely on my short list of places I will definitely visit again... See you in another year if not sooner.

2023-07-30 00:29:31We were a party of six, had a reservation, minimal wait to be seated. Greeted immediately, all staff friendly and professional. The server Jana was exceptional, friendly introduction, attentive...checking for refills & if everything was ok. The coconut shrimp and corn bread appetizer were good, the spinach artichoke dip was passable, needs flavor adjustment lacking! The same with the Mac and cheese just blah! The steaks, salmon and garlic mash potatoes & veggies good. The cheesy bread tasty but need a thicker bread or less cheese, too soggy.

2023-10-03 06:06:22My husband and I came to celebrate our anniversary here as we had our reception at this restaurant a year ago. Having our anniversary dinner here only made sense, as well as the sentimental value it held. However, this wasnt the case and we were extremely disappointed.My husband had booked the reservation like 2 weeks in advance and specified it was for our anniversary, yet that didnt matter. Originally he requested an outdoor table because of the beautiful view, however the rain had been on and off that day, so he assumed we would automatically be switched to an indoor table because everything was soaked but he didnt think to call and confirm, common sense should have kicked in for the restaurant and we thought they would accommodate accordingly...but boy were we in for a surprise.After checking in, about 5 mins later the hostess escorted us to the slippery and wet patio with the off and on drizzle going on (Mind you I am 7 months pregnant). She led us to a soaked table with literal puddles on the white plastic patio chairs and was like The server will be right with you and my husband was like Umm this is wet, are you seriously going to have us dine out here? Its a slip hazard and my wife is pregnant. And I asked if we could sit inside. The hostess then replied, Well have someone come clean this up and theres going to be a long wait if you want to sit inside. We waited for about 2 mins and it started drizzling again and nobody came out to clean the table, so I told my husband lets go inside and check if theres availability inside.We were told it would be an hour wait, despite having a reservation. I understand it gets busy and weather may be unpredictable but really? They really led us to a puddle filled table and expected us to sit there while it was drizzling?Thankfully our wait was only 25-30 mins. While being escorted to our table, I expressed to the new hostess that it was our anniversary dinner and we had our reception there a year ago, so we were looking forward to eating here. Pssh might as well have been talking to myself, it went in one ear out the other... service was so slow. Our silverware and drinks took forever to be given to us. The food was disappointing... no flavor and our baked potato which we both upgraded to, was cold. My husband ordered the prime rib and I had the rib eye. My husbands prime rib, half of it was like all fat, inedible fat too, not like that thin layer of fat thats everyones guilty pleasure to eat haha, just legit pure fat. The only delicious thing was the artichoke dip appetizer we ordered. Our entrees at the reception last year, blew this years meal out of the water...did not compare, not even close. Again, need I remind you we were there for our anniversary dinner and not once did the server acknowledge this. Most places bring out a little dessert slice or something commemorating that special event you are there celebrating, the table next to us, it was someones birthday and they brought out a slice of cake and we got zilch.Overall my experience left a really bitter taste in my mouth. I was really looking forward to our dinner, proud of my husband for having booked it in advance yet the restaurant just totally missed the mark on this. The food, service, atmosphere, lack of common sense and hospitality, just really poorly executed.Needless to say, we definitely wont be booking our next anniversary there, despite the sentimental value that place originally held.I hope you guys have a better experience than we did.

2023-06-26 14:47:45We attended a private event here and did not go to the regular restaurant. So this review is solely for the private event section. The meal was pre selected brunch items served buffet style.We had a choice of eggs, potatoes, vegetables, sausage, prime rib fresh sliced and an to order omelette bar. The food was very good for buffet style. As mentioned in other reviews, the horse radish and au jus just don’t have a bite and I wish they were a little more stand out flavor.The staff were great and for an event of over 150, they were very attentive and things flowed very well. The buffet was set up to serve from both sides making it go so much faster. The omelette station was just to the side and at first not noticed. At least 50 were served before anyone started walking up to the omelette bar. A quick little pre announcement of serve from both sides and omelette bar to the side would be helpful.As mentioned earlier, the maître d’ was extremely eager to keep everyone happy. We sat at the main table with the host of this party and saw the maître d’ come up often to see if there were any needs.The location here is amazing. Plenty of parking and a view that is unstoppable. We were there during the day and loved it and can imagine how beautiful it is at night.

2023-11-10 18:28:58Reservations are a must. We had a reservation, arrived 15 minutes early, and had to stand and wait until our reservation time to be seated. A couple walked in and was told a 2 hour wait without a reservation.The restaurant is a fun old west / mining theme,The food was only OK. Honestly, we were disappointed. I asked if the garden salad had red cabbage. Our server was unsure and said hed have to talk to the chef. (ALLERGY) My husband ordered clam chowder. When the server came back, he let us know the salad does have red cabbage, (its pre packaged so they cant change that), and they were out of clam chowder. (At 5:30 on a Sunday night! Just sad.)The prime rib was tender but flavorless. The aus jus helped, but still not a bold au jus. The creamy horseradish had no bite, so disappointing. We didnt get to taste their signature cheese toast because it was burnt!The chairs were hard and uncomfortable. We asked if we could switch to the booth across from us and were told no. (I have hip dysplasia, so it was painful to sit through dinner, so we skipped desertOverall, it was a great disappointment.

2022-06-15 00:59:55I went on a little dinner date for myself. It was definitely nice! I had outdoor seating watching the sunset. The food was a bit of a wait but with the view it was nice. If you dont mind airplanes like I do. Its a bit loud but its amazing watching airplanes come down because it on a airplane path DIRECT. I downloaded the app on my phone and got to see different kinds of planes pretty close. It was a enjoyable experience with a great waiter. Its super cute at night with the view!Id go here again if I dont mind waiting that day.

2023-11-28 20:57:41You must reserve a good amount of time in advance because this place is a must if a special event or an over the top romantic night. The view is one of the best around coupled with a 5 star menu and wonderful drinks and desserts. ! Delicious!

2022-12-10 22:44:54Came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and was met with astonishing service. The server was friendly and enjoyable. The view was impeccable and spectacular. Got to see the Disney fireworks along with the night time lights and city view. The food was cooked to perfection and extremely delicious. Will be coming back again.
