We were met with a wonderful Saturday night treat!! There is always the spectacular ocean view, but the evening was made more special with a guitarist, Keith Chagall, who brought live music and humor -- this guy is so skilled and has an encyclopedic repertoire across many genres. The music was on the house sound system, so it gave an even experience around the restaurant as he strolled through the tables. We'll be coming Saturday nights from now on, as this makes it a complete special evening out! Now the meal--- we enjoyed fab martinis (bleu cheese olives- top notch!) and wine, and shared the poke tower (always spectacular and fresh), grilled artichokes (the right amount of herbs with a lemon to add a zip), margherita flatbread (perfect thin crust-- topped with fresh tomatoes and basil), and a killer mushroom and bleu cheese risotto that will stay in our memories!! Staff and servers are always low key and professional-they take good care. We always talk about trying a new spot, but happy we came back!! Good food and drinks, music, and an ocean view... what could be better!!

We are both beginners and just wanted to experience the place and have some fun. There is an entrance fee, and you need to show your ID. They stamp your hand. The club opened at 6:00 p.m., and we were impressed with the setup. They have reserved booths, tables, 2 bars, and waitresses walking around taking orders. They also have self-serve pitchers of ice water, which was a nice touch. At 6:00 p.m., an instructor came on stage and taught a beginner line dance. My daughter and I joined in, even though it was her first time. We definitely didn't get all the steps right, but we had fun trying! Around 8:00 p.m., she taught another line dance, so of course we went back out there and tried again. Her instructions were easy to follow, which made it enjoyable for beginners like us. Later, the DJ played music for two-stepping and line dancing and made announcements for birthdays and other celebrations. The people were friendly, the place felt safe and clean, and everyone seemed to be there just to dance and have a good time. Overall, we had a great experience at The Ranch. It was fun trying something new with my daughter, and we will definitely be back!

It was a late lunch so I called to see if a reservation is needed for 2 ppl. Not at all so we jumped into the car. Such a wonderful restaurant in an unassuming plaza. Lots of parking. There's an outdoor seating area and a good size restaurant inside. We were greeted as we walked in. Btw, the HUGE glass door entrance, I love. There Were a few open tables and we were welcome to sit where we wanted to. Two classes of water were brought to the table and a waiter came with the menu. My mom is vegetarian and I am not. I asked the waiter for his vegetarian dishes and he provided me a pasta dish. That was exactly what my Mom was wanting. Linguine with a light pink sauce with mushrooms and you can add zucchini, bell pepper and broccoli. I ordered a sangria. That was just amazing itself. And a linguine dish with shrimp. Warm, sliced French bread and a small dish of butter was brought out first that was so good. Usually the bread and butter that is brought at small restaurants like these could be just mediocre or not good at all. This was warm and just tasty. We also ordered a Caprese. The plate came out with big chunks of mozzarella tomatoes, and both were sitting on a marinated pesto covered set of basil leaves. That was so good. The combination of the vinaigrette, mozzarella basil tomato pesto was exactly what we were looking for so refreshing. Our entrées were huge for $20 a plate. We had to take 3/4 of it home. That was so not expected. Pasta and the pasta sauce were amazing. Very freshly made. Dishes were made to order only and not sitting around. I asked if they were doing something special for birthdays and I pointed to my mom next to you know, the waiter came out with fresh homemade Tim. They also sing to my mom wish she was so sweet. I am loving this place and will be coming back. Thank you so much for the staff for making my mom feel so wonderful on her birthday. The food was amazing Services amazing. Restaurant felt warm the moment we walked in and so welcoming.

We all know what the Four seasons are…read more.. (Meanwhile, us California's are all googling what seasons the other 49 states actually get)... You know: Spring, Summer, Fall (Autumn) and Winter And I can almost bet you, that every last one of you, if I asked, would have your favorite season picked out and would of course, have the exact reason as to why it was your fav. Of course, we would get the... "I absolutely love Spring time because everything is in bloom." Or "I can't wait till this summer because I just love going out to the lake with the fam." Or "I'll never forget seeing Vermont in Autumn with all of the changing of the colors. Man was it breathtaking." Or Every East Coaster saying, "I just can't wait for Winter to show it's beautiful face and dump extreme amounts of snow just so it can brighten up my day" ...said no New Yorker ever! That's right, there are seasons that we all love and look forward to, but sometimes, there are also seasons that some of us just dread. Well, this past Spring... Although the flowers were all in bloom and my favorite season, Summer, which was just around the corner... The season I'm about to drop on you is not one from above, but I have a feeling you're gonna like it. Yes! My family and I, well mainly my wife and I, celebrated a season that I know most of you just might say is your NEW favorite season.... I'm talkin' Agave Season!!! Yeah, you know, that Blue Agave plant which is where a little thing called Tequila is derived from. And tequila my friends, when drinking straight, shot after shot, is the reason that some, most, well, pretty much all of us, usually make some bad decisions.... But.... If you just happen to mix that silver or gold tequila with a little lime juice, orange liqueur, a splash of sweetener and some salt on the rim... That my friends is a Margarita and NO bad decision has ever come out of ordering a Margarita EXCEPT not ordering a second one ;) Well this Spring, while in Huntington Beach on Spring Break for our kids school, we decided the Season of Agave was upon us and what better time to celebrate it than the present. Yes, Agave Seasons Mexican restaurant was just a short walk from the Hyatt Regency Resort where we called home for a few days and it was just what we needed after lounging around all day at the pool. So of course, first things first, we each ordered ourselves a Margarita... A little complimentary chips n salsa followed.. And instantly I was transported to my happy place. From there, it was Sizzling Fajita city and boy did they sizzle. Served with all the expected sides (rice, beans, pico, guac, sour cream & warm tortillas.... Yeah, I was a happy boy! The food was good, the service was standard and the salsa had a kick. Overall, it was a decent meal & it did the job. So... The next time you are craving a Marg... Don't stress if it's not a hot summer day. And definitely Don't stress if it is a chilly Winter evening. Cause no matter the reason, & no matter the season. It's ALWAYS Margarita 'o clock at Agave Seasons!

Heirloom: A Farmhouse Restaurant is an absolute gem. We came for a birthday dinner, and it was…read moreeasily one of the most heartwarming and delicious dining experiences I've had in Los Angeles. This mother-and-daughter operation has a warmth you simply can't manufacture. The mother personally came over to greet us, the ambiance was impeccable, and the service was exceptional from beginning to end. We had the shrimp curry, beet salad, French onion soup, short rib, scallops with mushroom risotto, and raspberry cheesecake, and everything was phenomenal. After finishing the shrimp curry, we still had some of the incredible sauce left, so our waiter suggested a half order of garlic bread to soak it up. Absolutely fantastic and exactly the kind of thoughtful recommendation that defined the service. Even the things I initially thought I wanted differently turned out to be perfect as served. I wished the French onion soup had more cheese until I discovered it at the bottom and realized the proportion was perfect for the flavor. Even the filtered water may genuinely be the best I've ever had at a restaurant, and our glasses never went empty. They also boxed our leftovers for us, another small detail that showed the level of care throughout the night. I'm honestly surprised Heirloom hasn't made the Michelin Guide. The service was on par with many Michelin-recognized restaurants I've visited, but with a warmth and personal touch that made the experience even more memorable. They comped a raspberry cheesecake for the birthday, and it was so incredible that we ordered another slice to take home. They surprised us by comping that one too! Exceptional food, impeccable ambiance, genuinely thoughtful service, and hospitality with real heart. Don't miss this place.

Let me start with the positives because the food was genuinely good. I'm not even an eggplant…read moreperson, but their eggplant appetizer was so good. They're known for their French onion soup and it was good, but I definitely wouldn't call it the best I've ever had. That said, it was probably two hours after we sat down by the time we actually got our soups , so maybe we were just really hungry by then haha. For our mains, we did the short rib, pork chop, and filet. Everything was delicious, but the filet was hands down the standout for me. The pork chop is wet aged, so it can look a little pink even when properly cooked, which threw one of my dining companions off a bit, but it was still good. Unfortunately, the experience was a different story. We had a 6:30 reservation and didn't leave until 9:45. We waited about an hour just for our appetizers, and shortly before they arrived, we were told they were down a cook and to expect delays. A three hour and fifteen minute meal for two and a half courses is just crazy. My biggest issue was the lack of communication. I wish we had been told when/before we were seated that the kitchen was significantly delayed so we could decide whether we wanted to stay or make other plans. Instead, we were already well into the experience before we got that information. The AC also wasn't great. It wasn't unbearable, but it was definitely uncomfortable, especially during Southern California's heat wave. I'm not sure if the AC just isn't very strong or if there was an issue that night, but sitting there for more than three hours while already feeling warm definitely didn't help. Then, right before our mains finally came out, we were offered complimentary half glasses of wine as an apology. Two of us declined, and one of my dining companions actually requested a completely different drink, but the wine was still brought to the table anyway (never received the requested drink either). If we've already said no, please don't bring it anyway. And honestly, after waiting that long, you need the full glass haha. At that point, I would have much rather been offered a complimentary dessert or something that actually addressed the three hour wait. The owner did come by twice and was very nice, and we were genuinely trying to be understanding of the situation. I just think there could have been more communication and a more meaningful effort to make up for the experience. Dessert didn't really redeem things either. We tried the crème brûlée and banana bread dessert, and neither would make my list to order again. The crème brûlée seemed overcooked and the banana bread dessert just didn't do much for us. So where does that leave me? The food is good, and there are definitely dishes I'd order again, especially the filet. But good food can only make up for so much when you spend more than three hours at the table, especially when you're hot and waiting most of that time. I'd be willing to give Heirloom another shot, but not before we get some cooler weather and I can confirm they've actually hired a second chef to help keep things moving at a more reasonable pace. If those things are sorted out, I'd be interested in seeing what the experience is like when everything is running the way it should.
