We truly could not have asked for a better venue owner than Cate for our son's wedding. From the…read morevery beginning, she was warm, kind, and genuinely invested in making the day special. She went above and beyond in ways both big and small, and it made all the difference. Her space is absolutely beautiful. It has such an artsy, welcoming feel and was perfect for our 80 person reception. The lighting created a magical atmosphere, the sound system worked flawlessly, and the indoor outdoor flow gave guests room to mingle, relax, and celebrate comfortably. One of the most generous touches was allowing us to use her home for staging the bride and groom. That level of trust and hospitality meant so much to our family. Throughout the entire process, she was accommodating, helpful, and always available with a calm, reassuring presence. If you are looking for a venue with heart, creativity, and an owner who truly cares, this is it. We are so grateful for everything she did to make the celebration unforgettable.

Absolutely Perfect Wedding/Party Venue!…read more We recently had our wedding at The Fish Tank Capo, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. This venue is such a hidden gem--unique, welcoming, and full of character. It immediately made us and our guests feel comfortable, safe, and completely at home. Cate, the owner, was an absolute dream to work with. From the start, she was accommodating, easygoing, and full of helpful ideas. She truly went above and beyond--she even opened up her own attached living area so we could freshen up before the ceremony. That level of thoughtfulness made the day even more special. The venue itself was everything we had hoped for--intimate, cozy, and full of charm. So many of our guests commented on how special the day felt and how perfect the space was for creating such a warm atmosphere. We highly recommend The Fish Tank Capo to anyone looking for a unique and affordable venue. You truly won't find a better combination of price, service, and heart anywhere else!

My husband and I came on a Friday night with our kids to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary…read more The servers and greeting staff were very friendly and helpful! They accommodated our baby and toddler with grace and had kid friendly coloring papers with crayons. The ambience was honestly a mix of business casual and elevated family dining. It was perfect for us as it wasn't overly formal but elevated and family friendly enough for our special occasion! It's an interesting mix though because the restaurant is next to or attached to a saloon so you do see many guests dressed in cowboy/cowgirl attire (denim bottoms/tops with leather cowboy boots) as well! Finally, the food itself was quite delicious! Our toddler loved her cheesy cavatappi (which seems to be made in house fresh) and devoured most of it immediately. She also loved her chocolate sundae of course. The asparagus was seasoned and roasted well which we finished completely. The creamed spinach was honestly more like a cheesy cream spinach since there was a thick layer of cheese laid on top. Needless to say, it was very good too. The pommes frites (fancy for French fries), were very crispy and the accompanying sauce, which tasted like a horseradish aioli, was perfect. The steak was done medium rare and was also very delicious per hubby. It was crispy on the edges and tender and juicy towards the inside. Desserts were the star of the show after we had finished our main meals. I got a hazelnut crunch bar (hazelnut chocolate mousse topped with caramelized hazelnuts, whipped cream, chocolate balls, caramel sauce and a side of vanilla ice cream) and my husband got the Milky Way bar (chocolate mousse bar with pieces of caramel and nougat ~ chef's version of a deconstructed Milky Way Bar). Both desserts were absolutely scrumptious and also beautiful in presentation as seen in the photos above. The hazelnut chocolate mousse was creamy and absolutely lovely paired with a hazelnut cookie base. Overall I'd give this place 4.5 stars and highly recommend as a place for elevated family dinners or simply a place to celebrate something special.

Disappointing meal for the price…read more Ok so to start, we have a reservation and show up at 7 (our reservation time). Hostess says take a seat and we'll get to you. We end up having to wait 20 min to get seated. Crazy when it was just a reservation for 2. They didn't offer anything like a complimentary drink to make it better. Next, to the meal. We ordered the 58oz Cowboy Ribeye. I honestly think I could have made a better steak at home. Absolutely no crust in the outside. Not that well seasoned. The meat was good quality but they butchered the execution. Insane a steakhouse could make such a bad steak honestly. Not worth the price. Okay and then there were the sides. The lobster Mac n Cheese was the only reason this wasn't a 1 star meal. That was honestly fantastic. I am a fair critic. Credit where credit is due. If I ever returned, it would be for the lobster mac. But I wouldn't order anything else. The potatoes were pretty good too but nothing crazy. All in all, I will be spending my money at Brea Chop House instead. Way better steak

We started working with Simone/Aventura Ocean Club/Orange County Beach Weddings in…read moreSeptember/October 2018. I (the bride) was working in the area when I stopped by Aventura Ocean Club by myself at first to check the venue out. I loved it so much I had to bring my now husband back as soon as we got back from a mini vacation and on that day, we secured the location. Just imagine an amazing view of the harbor and sailboats while feeling relaxed in a room that is modern, intimate and designed well. This venue is NOT old school like some weddings that we have all been to, its updated and amazing. Besides the view, another huge selling point is the largest wrap around balcony I have seen at a wedding. Aventura Ocean Club sets up couches, chairs, and a firepit outside for the guests to enjoy while they are not inside. We had our wedding on 8/10/2019 and we have nothing but great things to say about the venue. We got married at Heritage Park in Dana Point (Simone coordinated all of this) and had our reception at Aventura Ocean Club. I am still getting compliments to this day about the venue, the view, the decorations, the food, the grand entrance that we did (think sail boat entrance) and even the florals, DJ and photographer we used (all who came recommended from Simone). We could not have asked for a better wedding and we are truly pleased. It is obvious Simone cares about her clients and truly believes in marriage and happiness, she was wonderful to work with. A few helpful hints about this venue: 1. It is intimate but fit 100 people on the inside with no issue. 2. Your guests will rave about the sail boat grand entrance if you choose this option. 3. If you use their wedding package/coordinating services (which you should in a heartbeat) your event will look even better than you imagined but with your style through and through. 4. Simone/Aventura Ocean Club/Orange County Beach Weddings and all her recommended vendors will give you the wedding of your dreams. 5. This was in our price range where a lot of other beach/beachy/coastal venues were significantly more money and you had to do everything yourselves.

I had the opportunity to head to Via Verde for a fundraiser golf tournament and initially was…read moreexcited to see what the place had to offer! It has to be nice, it's a country club! Well, the clubhouse was nice enough and seemed clean in the areas I saw, but to me, the crowned jewel of every country club should be its golf course. This is where I was extremely disappointed. I cannot imagine being a member at this country club and having a golf course in this condition. I have seen municipal courses that don't require a tee time or greens fees in better shape! There were bare spots all over the "fairways," there was grass growing over the "sand traps," the "tee boxes" were uneven with sporadic grass. I honestly could not believe it. I am hopeful this course can be saved, because it actually could be nice. But it needs some serious love and maybe a Board that actually cares about their product. I bet membership would increase! Cheers!

So maybe, they have enough members that they dont care about blowing people off! I tried dozens of times to call, leave emails, I went on their website and signed up for the "Take a Tour" option.

This review is for their wedding venue, not the golf course itself…read more This was one of our final contenders and ultimately stood out for creating an intimate atmosphere without feeling dominated by the golf course. All of my communication was through Nicole, who was consistently responsive and quick to answer questions throughout the process. =PROS= *Ceremony and reception spaces felt completely separate from the golf course *Overnight parking included *String lighting at both the entrance and outdoor areas was included *Extensive menu customization with premium upgrades that were not commonly offered elsewhere, including caviar and oysters *Beautifully designed bar setup *Gorgeous fireside patio space *Flexible dessert options *Reasonably priced meals for vendors and children *Complimentary soft holds with 24 hours to make a decision =CONS= *Ceremony site felt somewhat bare aside from the well maintained lawn *Bridal and groom suites were on the smaller side, with bathrooms located separately *Chivari chairs required an additional setup fee *Cocktail hour catering was limited to in house options *Reception space felt somewhat cramped for a guest count of 150 =NOTES= *The parking lot was quite full during our consultation, though we were told it typically clears out later in the day *Only four restroom stalls for guests, though renovations are reportedly planned in the near future Overall, this remained one of our strongest contenders. Had we been bigger golf enthusiasts, this venue may very well have won us over. The package felt highly inclusive, and there were numerous thoughtful details that set it apart from other venues we toured. However, with our larger guest count, the indoor reception space felt a bit tight and ultimately gave us some hesitation. Even so, there was a lot to like here, particularly for couples seeking an intimate setting with a polished, all inclusive experience.

I've returned for another round because this course was such fun and in great shape…read more Let me say it's better this time, fairways healed after the rains, tee boxes in great shape and greens, while still tough, are impressive. Staff makes the day better, from clubhouse to starter to cart staff, always a great experience. Correction on prior review, golf carts DO have coolers with ice, so bring your water and soda. GPS on carts matches my Garmin, so take that as good news too. If you're lucky, you'll catch an afternoon where smashburgers are grilled to order on the patio, big win! Pace of play runs 4 1/2 hours, very nice.

He was extremely RUDE AND NASTY to my husband and I. We were in the neighborhood looking at possibility of using the place for an upcoming wedding. And he basically said we were trespassing and asked us to leave in a VERY rude manner. He also threatened to call the police for supposedly "trespassing" even though we're locals that live in the neighborhood and just wanted to get a brief peak at the facility that they were decorating for a wedding. Even one of the vendors said please come take a look. What a stupid and horrible, horrible way of providing customer service to Potential clients.
