Highly recommend.

We got there on a Saturday around 3:30 pm and the bar was already packed with regulars. (Thats always a good sign) We sat at one of the bar round tables and got a couple beers and some food. Our server was incredibly helpful and friendly. Going to far as to modify a meal for my husband, who keeps a strict diet. I got the short rib and mash, and it was really flavorful. I added some veggies to feel better about myself. They didn't have anything green, but you take what you can get. The vibe was fun and vibrant. Lots of laughter. Great viewing with TV's. There is good seating for families. Really happy we found this place.

I'm very disappointed with my experience at Pub Thirty Two. We came in just trying to relax and…read moreenjoy our afternoon after a long day of work. When we ordered drinks, the bartender already seemed a bit rude and unwelcoming, which set the tone for the visit. To avoid any issues and just enjoy ourselves, we decided to sit outside quietly. Unfortunately, the situation got worse. Two employees came outside and approached us in a very disrespectful way and made a racist remark, referring to us as "two tequilas" and saying "clean up those two tequilas," basically telling us we needed to leave immediately. It was extremely uncomfortable and offensive. No customer should ever be treated that way. Restaurants and bars should be places where everyone feels welcome and respected. Allowing employees to behave in a racist and disrespectful manner toward customers is unacceptable. What makes it even more disappointing is that I was actually considering bringing a group of coworkers here in the future. After this experience, I absolutely won't be doing that. The service was rude, unprofessional, and completely ruined what should have been a relaxing afternoon.

If you're looking for the best burger in the area, this place is hands-down the one to beat. From…read morethe first bite, you can tell every ingredient is chosen with care and every burger is crafted with real skill. This isn't your average fast-food patty -- it's the kind of burger that reminds you how great a simple meal can be when it's done right. The patties are perfectly seasoned and cooked just how you like them -- juicy and flavorful with that ideal char on the outside. The buns are soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together, and the toppings are fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully balanced. Whether it's melted cheese, crisp lettuce, caramelized onions, or tangy house sauce, each component adds something delicious without overpowering the rest. What really makes this place special is consistency and attention to detail. Every visit delivers the same high quality -- hot food, friendly staff, and fast service. The sides are great too -- the fries are crispy and golden, and their milkshakes are rich, creamy perfection. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for anything from a quick lunch to a relaxed dinner with friends. It's the kind of local favorite that you want to brag about to everyone you know.

The bar/pub atmosphere is lively, a bit crowded, and warm with some seats at the bar and tables for groups. Shoutout to Sam, who was very sweet, checked in on us, brought our orders out hot and fresh, and even gave us a small dessert at the end to celebrate an anniversary! We had the Dark Star Oatmeal Stout with our order of the brie fondue, corned beef reuben, and lamb burger. The brie fondue, to my surprise, was not 100% brie, but rather had a whipped and lighter texture. I thought the amount of bread/pears were enough, and we actually kept it to dip our sandwich/burger in. The presentation was beautiful and it was a great appetizer. The corned beef reuben was so good - the meat fell apart but wasn't fatty, the bread was toasted (one side was a bit too crispy but wasn't burnt which I'm fine with), and the fries were skinny and crispy. I only tried a bite of the lamb burger, but it was juicy and gamey. Yum! Price-wise it's a bit high for pub food, but it was still excellent. This would be a good spot for a date or if you want to go to a more fancy pub/bar!

Excellent food and service and the food was served nice and hot!…read more Came here for Mother's Day with family and we ordered some appetizers to share, including the kale and quinoa salad, Guinness brown bread, and Reuben rolls. The salad was fresh and the quinoa was toasted so it added a lovely crunch. The bread was served warm and the honey butter was delicious. The Reuben roll didn't quite do it for me but it seemed like a fun concept. For entrees I shared the fabled chicken and fish and chips, both of which were fantastic. The entrees were served hot and the portions were quite large. The chicken had lots going on but all good stuff, especially the jalapeño cornbread. The fish was also perfectly battered and light inside. Would definitely return!

Bryce is incredibly attentive, friendly, and welcoming, remembers faces, checks in at the right moments and keeps the energy upbeat without ever being overbearing. He's the kind of bartender that makes you want to come back because you feel taken care of and appreciated. Jo was also great and added to the warm, inviting atmosphere, but Bryce really anchors the experience behind the bar. The crowd during trivia is always fun and lively, which makes the night fly by. The burger was excellent juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right and the menu is moderately priced, especially considering the quality. Overall, it's a fantastic neighborhood spot with great service, good food, and a welcoming vibe. Bryce alone is worth the visit, and I'll definitely be back again.

Everything about Domenicos on the Lake just felt right. As soon as we walked in we were greeted…read morewith enthusiasm by the hostesses and the owner. We were initially drawn to Domenicos because of the stunning views of lake Mission Viejo. We had the option of sitting inside, near the bar or outside on the patio. We chose to sit outside on the patio and got seated right as the sun was going down. They were nice enough to offer us blankets since it was getting chilly. We ordered the Chicken Alfredo Pizza and the Chicken Basil Cream Pasta. To start, the pizza was truly phenomenal. There was plenty of chicken to compliment the creaminess of the Alfredo sauce along with the dough itself. We ordered a medium pizza and it was more than enough to feed two of us. The Chicken Basil Cream Pasta was also rich and full of flavor. The serving portion was large, and we were also given Parmesan to complement the dish. Overall, the dish was enjoyable. For being a last minute pick, Domenicos on the Lake exceeded our expectations and proved to be a standout Italian restaurant in Mission Viejo.

They forgot to add the sauce and the fish was dry. That would have been fixable but our server never came back to the table to check on us and we had to find someone to help us. They brought us some sauce to pour over what was cold fish by then. We had several good meals on our prior visits so chalk it up to one bad night. Last night we went back after quite a while. Three out of the four of us had terrible meals. Two of us were planning on ordering the salmon salad but decided not to as the salmon was farmed not wild. We pivoted to the eggplant parm. It was a mistake. It was honestly the worst eggplant parm we've ever had. It was more crust than eggplant and so dry. The pasta that came with it had almost no sauce and was also dry. We asked the server to bring us some marinara sauce. The third person was also not happy with their meal. The three of us should have sent our meals back. Our server was lovely and attentive and the atmosphere was great but I think after two bad food experiences we won't be going back.
