I have to agree with my roommate this is one of the best kept secrets in Huntington Beach we were greeted immediately by a really cool host name Mario made me feel right at home the bartender Ava had it hell of a sense of humor it was pretty much suret that no matter what she suggested it was going to be perfect so I had to start with the chicken lettuce wraps you get a choice of having a warm or cold I had to have them warm and for my entrée which I can't wait to try the beef stroke enough my roommate I don't know what he tried... But I do now because he just told me he's gone for the fish and chips chances are if you want to place it has elegance class and feels right at home this is where you're going to go the best part killer parking!
The wine selections incredible I don't know why you would pass this place up you need to stop by and have dinner here... Half off wine Wednesdays? I think we already know where you're going to be
If you're gonna get the chicken wraps you need to get them warm... Warm to form I had to have it in company my cocktail which set me up for the most perfect blend of flavor and texture each bite welcoming the next each sip welcoming the next Gulp!
The beef stroganoff was incredible literally melting in my mouth which is good because I kept shoveling it in I have to agree with the bartenders choice I tried the Negroni with aviation gin
This place is wonderful year meet the greeted :-) this but the one thing that puts a smile on my face?
That's got to be the stroganoff what are the new stroganoff...
I say this with impunity lol it is so delicious it is definitely not the cheapest item on the menu, but well worth every penny of it
flavor is so welcome to texture? It's perfect for the meat is cooked on perfection, making it soak up the flavor and melt in your mouth like butter.!
This place is a win!!
I would've ruined it with my suggestion but anytime you can enjoy somebody that knows the atmosphere so well they can make it better
five stars just isn't enough where there...
Read moreI definitely underestimated this restaurant, even though I've had it bookmarked on my list for quite sometime. Located in the Trader Joe's shopping center, I've walked past it on numerous days while heading to my pit stop at Trader Joe's. I finally managed to make it in with a girl friend on a Saturday night over drinks and bites.
We made reservations, just in case, but there was plenty of tables available if we hadn't. We got seated right away and the service was already wonderful from the first 30 seconds of arriving. Friendly, attentive, and super informative - it really goes such a long way!
They have a huge selection of wine as well as a separate limited time offering menu as well. We ordered off the limited time offering and were really pleased with our choices. For food, we ordered the roasted beets, crab cakes and the tomato soup + grilled cheese. Food came out as each dish was ready. I would recommend sharing plates so you can get a sense of trying all the great items on the menu. Since it was only 2 of us, this was actually the perfect amount of food for us.
The roasted beets was probably my fav dish and a close second was the crab cakes. SO GOOD! The grilled cheese/soup duo was good, but the grilled cheese was just a little too greasy for my tastebuds. My girl friends really enjoyed it though, so all in personal preference I guess.
The ambiance was really cute, dimly lit and had a really trendy and chic vibe to it. It's one of those places you can dress up or dress casually and come enjoy some good food, drinks and relax/catch up.
I definitely want to come back for their brunch menu as it looked really yummy! Looking forward to coming back for...
Read moreVisited this restaurant because we are tired of going to the same place all the time. Very nice atmosphere. There is inside and outside dining available. I really like the indoor ambiance.
Started with a cocktail and boy did we both need one. Friday night is date night so we always need a drink after a long week of work.
We ordered a Mai Tai and another craft cocktail. I can't even remember the name but they were both listed under the Rum Craft Cocktail category and they were both delicious. It was not your average, traditional Mai Tai. It had a great flavor and something special in it.
My hubby loves French Onion Soup so he started with a bowl of that. Let's just say it was amazing and the waterfall of cheese from the soup spoon to the cup made my mouth water. Even though I did not order it, I had a few bites and wish I did.
For the main course, I ordered the shrimp and chicken pasta. It was yummy but needed some crushed red pepper.
My husband was torn on what to order but he finally decided, after gawking at the food at table next to us, on the steak sandwich. It was legit! He actually saved half to bring home to our son. He also ordered a side of fries.
The meal would have been complete and would have received 5 start but the waiter forgot us. We asked for Tabasco and a side of ranch dressing. Never got them. Would have asked for crushed red pepper but he only came back with the bill. Guess it was a good thing we ate our food anyway instead of waiting for it to get cold and for him to bring the requested items.
We will definitely come back but maybe just sit at the bar and try the rest of the...
