Prego Restaurant — Restaurant in Tustin

Prego's Blackened Salmon Salad: A Subtly Stellar Symphony Nestled within the bustling District in Tustin, Prego Restaurant offers a welcome respite, and my recent experience centered around their Blackened Salmon Salad was a testament to their understated excellence. From the moment I was seated, the "stellar" service lived up to its name – attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely welcoming. The salad itself was a well-composed plate. The blackened salmon, the star of the show, boasted a satisfyingly peppery crust that gave way to moist, flaky flesh. It wasn't aggressively spiced, allowing the natural richness of the fish to shine through. The bed of mixed greens was fresh and vibrant, a welcome contrast to the warmth of the salmon. The inclusion of Romano cheese added a salty, sharp counterpoint, a thoughtful touch that elevated the flavor profile beyond a standard salad. The tomatoes were ripe and juicy, contributing a burst of sweetness, and while "fixings" can often be a vague term, in this case, they felt thoughtfully curated. There were no superfluous additions, just elements that complemented the main components. Perhaps a scattering of red onion for a bit of bite, or maybe some perfectly ripe avocado for creaminess – whatever the specifics, they harmonized beautifully. Beyond the plate, the atmosphere contributed significantly to the enjoyable experience. The "nicely subdued" ambiance was a breath of fresh air, allowing for easy conversation without the need to raise one's voice. The blessedly "air conditioned" environment was particularly appreciated on what I can only assume was a warm Tustin day. Even the often-overlooked details impressed. The "very clean & well stocked" restroom facilities speak volumes about a restaurant's overall attention to detail and respect for its patrons. It's a seemingly small thing, but it contributes to the overall feeling of being well cared for. Ultimately, my Blackened Salmon Salad at Prego wasn't a flamboyant culinary explosion, but rather a subtly stellar symphony of fresh ingredients, expertly prepared and served with genuine care. It was a satisfying and refined lunch option, perfect for those seeking a flavorful yet not overly heavy meal in a comfortable and well-maintained setting. Prego in The District has certainly earned a spot on my list for...

We love coming here for our weekly family dinners and we love it. We decided to do our baby shower here and it was wonderful , everyone enjoyed themselves so much and the staff were just incredible. I got so many compliments on people living their lunch. We set everything up through Brittany their event coordinator, she’s the sweetest and they were so flexible about everything. I had some diet restrictions I have to follow and couldn’t go by the set menu we chose they were sos sweet on working with me about that. I also requested some fruit and juices for the mimosa bar we did, it turned out so cute for everyone and they ordered juices to make it work :) we asked to come early to set up and they already had everything out in the patio for us to work with, extra tables and table clothes and cloth napkins… the u shaped table was already set up. And we had so many options to chose from depended on how many people showed up. I invited 50, 30 came so the patio was able to accommodate ether… the heaters were fantastic and it was nice to be on the outdoors for those that were COVID concerned for being in...

We came here on a Sunday night around 7pm with family and our 1.5 year old daughter and were blown away by the great service, yummy food, and warm yet classy ambiance.

Our waitress was personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We also loved the bartender Nikki who was so sweet to our daughter. She saw that my daughter was resisting her high chair and was curious by her surroundings. So Nikki took the time to talk to her and even brought out some bubbles. It was so kind of her to help "entertain" our daughter for a little bit. She was so great!

On to the food...We ordered the rib eye steak, lamb, and seafood platter and it was all delicious and cooked/seasoned to perfection!

I've inquired about private parties here before (haven't booked one yet) but they definitely have the space for it! The decor was lovely and it was so spacious with different rooms you can rent for your event.

Overall, great spot for a yummy meal with great service...side note my hubby and dad loved how there were TVs in the bar area so they could watch the game. We...
