    Everything about dining here was perfect! the interior of the space is exceptionally elegant complete with white tablecloths, and homey design finishes. the service was attentive, and helpful. the food was sensational! we shared the tartare, scallops, and beet ravioli to begin. all of which i would recommend. i had a fillet for the main, along with sides of carrots and asparagus. the fillet was pure buttery goodness. for dessert, we shared the basque cheesecake, and the chocolate cake. there is an extensive wine list for the perfect accompaniment. i will definitely eat here again next time i am in town!

    One review mentioned:

    This is by far one of my favorite italian restaurants by far in orange county. the ambiance and intimate setting and the service is always amazing. the servers and the chefs are always super accommodating. i frequent here often and every time it is on point and doesn t disappoint, the best food and service. it s all authentic and made from scratch. i usually get the cacio e pepe or some kind of seafood pasta or whatever the chef recommends. it s perfect for a date night or a large party for a celebration, i ve done both from 2 people to 14! parking: parking can be tricky if you are there during prime time, there is valet but little parking through out the whole lot kid-friendliness: many families bring small children, i don t think the setting and ambiance is for little kids though and i ve noticed some customers getting upset when kids are running around and playing with their ipads at such a nice place

    I think i ve been here enough times to leave a good review. found out about this restaurant through an article about top 10 best margaritas in the oc and they were correct. my favorite place to sit has been at the bar facing the windows and if i can during a sunset is the best! you can stop by just for a drink and appetizers at the bar or i recommend a reservation for dining. everything i ve order has not been disappointing! always great food drinks and service. i enjoy taking friends to this spot. the parking is not great but it s worth it! you can park in a parking structure and walk over

    The coolest spot we come across in a long time. the hotel and rooftop staff were so helpful and genuinely friendly. as floral vendors for a small wedding reception, we were guided through the quickest entrances, stairways, and elevators to achieve our setup. it was great to work alongside rachel and her team to get the tables set quickly. the views are stunning, and the festive touches throughout the hotel made a perfect so cal holiday atmosphere.
