The Food and the view is amazing but be aware there are mice in the outside seating area. Notified the waitress she told us do we wanna move inside in a very disrespectful way. Not even a complementary dessert or something to make up for the uncomfortable feeling we had while we were eating our dinner. My question is what about the food is it even sanitary to serve to the public when there's mice running around outside. Also it was my anniversary not once did the waitress do anything in regard to such a special day. When she specifically asked me are we celebrating anything today and I told her yes. Why ask if you aren't going to do anything about it. Sit inside if you go here. read more

Top notch food. Expensive (which is expected so no big deal). Only one turn off, they have a severe mice infestation on the tables outside. Plenty of mice. They gave us a free desert. Servers told us the mice are protected. My question is: is the food protected? How is this even sanitary? That is the real problem The dilemma of enjoying your food among rats and mice .. read more

I've dined here several times and have also worked a few events, and I've always had positive experiences. The biggest highlight is, without a doubt, the view. Perched on a hill overlooking the city, it's especially beautiful at sunset and after dark. The scenery alone makes it a wonderful spot for a date night or a special occasion. The food has been consistently enjoyable. The hors d'oeuvres served at the events I've attended were all delicious, and during a previous dinner I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, which was excellent. It was cooked just the way I like it, moist and flaky with a firm texture rather than soft and mushy. My only real complaint is the parking. The restaurant uses valet, and I wish there were a self-parking option instead. Personally, I'd rather park my own car than pay for valet when the parking area is right there. It also puts guests in the awkward position of feeling obligated to tip on top of the valet fee. That said, the beautiful setting, great food, and overall atmosphere make this a place I'd gladly return to, especially for a special evening with an amazing view. read more

I am flabbergasted that this restaurant only has 3.6 stars. I flew in from Florida the morning I came here. I had planned to go to Laguna, but after such a long flight, I couldn't make myself sit in the car for another hour. Instead, I looked for a restaurant with a view closer to Anaheim. That's how I stumbled upon this gem. First, the front is gorgeous with water features and a little pond. There is a fireplace out front. The view from inside is amazing with the sunset. It would be a fabulous location for events! (There were two events happening when I came for dinner.) Just note it is valet only! I showed up 15 minutes before my reservation, and I was seated right away. The hostess was very nice. I had mentioned to the hostess that I was starving, and she told my waiter who made sure not to disappoint. Jenner was my waiter, and he was great! He was very attentive and offered me great recommendations, which is probably why my meal was darn near perfect. First, THEY GIVE YOU COMPLIMENTARY HONEY CORNBREAD. When I saw Jenner walking up to my table with that giant hunk of corn mealy goodness I about died of happiness. It was so yummy! For my app, I got the tomato burrata salad. That was the highlight of my meal. (Surprising after how I spoke about the cornbread, no?) This salad comes with a huge ball of burrata on top of a pile of tomatoes, peaches, and fennel. It was sweet, it was creamy, it was herbaceous...it was PERFECTLY refreshing. (Definitely not a one person salad. Trust me.) My entree was the Wild Mushroom Pappardelle Pasta with truffle whipped ricotta and basil. I added chicken since my protein was lacking today. The noodles were cooked perfectly. The pasta was creamy, but the truffle was not in the room with us. I love mushrooms, truffle, and basil, so that was a bummer, but honestly, I can't remove a star for that. I washed this all down with a nice glass of wine, and I left feeling fat and sassy...and with three boxes of leftovers. My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach, but if you think I left a morsel of food on that table, think again. Update: I finished the burrata salad and cornbread for breakfast...it was just as good. I wish I had more. read more

Ambiance: Absolutely gorgeous! Reservation required so plan early and get the outdoor seating at the golden hour to enjoy the sunset. Indoor seating is very nice as well. We had a private booth like area. Food: The house corn bread is spectacular! Freshly made from kitchen and when you taste with the pink salt or their house chili butter, it's a whole other level! The prime rib was great and the 50/50 mash that comes with it is amazing as well. On the other hand, the miso marinated sea bass was cooked so well that it melted in your mouth but the black rice is a bit too sweet. Their deserts are just okay, so I'd suggest keep your stomach for a local creamery. read more

Came here to experience the beauty I was told it had. The view is good, but it would be better without the smog. As you walk in, they have a small bridge path that has Koi Fish underneath the water. We had made a reservation, so the wait was only 5 minutes. The place is simply decorated, nothing stood out, but the view was awesome. The Corn bread was nothing to brag about. We all ordered the steaks, and they were not bad. They have some fancy drinks, but after a couple of drinks not remember the names of them. Our main complaint was that the area we sat in the AC went out, and they said it was on. NO IT WASN'T. They have inside and outside seating . Not a bad place if you like the best view of the city. read more

Very good prime rib and short ribs. Loved the mashed potatoes and broccolini. Very nice music in the dining room. Great service waiters are nice and overall a wonderful dining experience. Valet parking is $10. View is spectacular. The feel of being in La Jolla sans ocean! Haven't been here in 45 years and now will come again a bit sooner next time. Drive up the hill is quite the thrill. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with a reservation at Orange Hill for my birthday! I had a wonderful time. Our reservation was conveniently made through the OpenTable app. Parking is valet. We were seated promptly at our reservation time of 7:15pm. The restaurant is gorgeous and sits on a hill overlooking the city of Orange. During the summer, there is a breathtaking view of the sunset right at dinnertime. Our server was Ailyn, who was such a sweetheart. She took amazing care of us and went above and beyond to provide us excellent service. Complimentary cornbread is provided, served with a drizzle of honey, Himalayan sea salt, and a cayenne infused butter. The butter is so good and really makes the cornbread shine. I had the "Paid Vacation" cocktail, served in a glass ball swinging on a crescent moon shaped hanger. Everything about this drink from its presentation to its flavors was loud, fun, and summery. You are given a Szechuan flower to nibble on before sipping your drink, numbing your tongue with a mala tingling sensation. The drink itself is vodka based with passionfruit. I loved the tropical taste and playful presentation. This drink is one of four "main character" cocktails that one would order if one desired the attention of the entire room. And it was my birthday, so of course I did. For our appetizers, we got the caviar frites and crispy rice tuna tartare. The caviar frites were perfectly crispy and seasoned. I loved the accompaniments such as the vodka creme fraiche and dollops of caviar. The crispy rice tuna tartare was plated beautifully. The tuna was fresh and spicy, and I loved the crispy rice on the bottom. At this point in our meal, Ailyn advised us to take pictures with the gorgeous sunset on the patio while we waited for our entrees. A small handful of people were doing the same. The sunset was especially breathtaking from our vantage point. I could see every layer of the rainbow embedded in the blazing California sky. I had the filet mignon and added an Atlantic lobster tail. The filet was so tender and juicy. The lobster tail was cooked perfectly. I really liked the side of 50/50 mashed potatoes as well. The mash was extremely creamy and the crispy bits of potato "hay" on top were delicious. I had a lovely experience at Orange Hill. I would definitely come back. read more

Food was really good, we asked for the garlic fries to come first. They also served us their homemade corn bread with a chipotle butter. I ordered the bone-in ribeye medium rare, and it was perfect. Super tender with light seasoning that's not overpowering the flavor from the meat. I also ordered one of their drink, ghosted, super yummy when the popsicle melted into the drink. The service was great, our waiter checked in on us pretty frequently as well as the manager. The ambiance was very nice as well. The view of the sunset was super beautiful. One down side is the area is a little tight, and because we're sitting right where the view is, you'll have some people trying to take pictures by your table, disrupting our dinner by trying to squeeze through the tiny space. People don't realize is that there's an area a little further down for people to take pictures where you won't interfere with others dining.. but overall, great place, amazing food and perfect sunset view! read more

The food and view was excellent, but the service was awful. It felt like our waitress was trying to do the bare minimum the whole night. We were celebrating a birthday and they had asked if we were celebrating anything at the beginning of the night and we told them we were. Once we got our dessert they didn't do anything special which was weird because they had just sung happy birthday to the table behind us. We expected this place to be expensive but not $15 for a small glass of lemonade. There was also quite a few cockroaches and mice in the outdoors area, so if you go here I would recommend sitting inside. read more

Not a huge fan of the food here, but the views are nice. Parking is on site, but there is a $10 valet fee. Once seated, you do enjoy the view. My friends and I dined at night so we were able to enjoy the city lights and even see the Disneyland fireworks. We ordered a lot of different things like the tuna over crispy rice, which was good. Coconut shrimp, which was OK. I ordered the tomato and burata salad, which was not good at all. The salad came with peaches that I was expecting for it to be grilled peaches, but these were canned peaches that were put in the salad that did not pair well with the dish. We also tried the butter fish, which was good, the short rib and the chicken. We ordered drinks, which I believe is what they're really known for. Very sugary for our taste but if you like sweet drinks, they have plenty to offer. The service was OK there were times in the night where we were waiting for our server to come around so we can ask for more water or extra napkins. read more

Happy Anniversary brunch with my Bestie and her hubby. The Orange Hill is beautifully located in the hills of Orange. The ambiance is tranquil and serene. From the calming sounds of water when you first walk up, to the cozy fire burning at the entrance, to the breath taking views, and the comfortable seating. It's absolutely beautiful and there's a few photo ops. The service was great. We opted to sit in the bar at a window seat. The bar does not require a reservation. If seating is available, it's first come first serve. Our server was amazing. He was tentative to our needs and kept our drinks coming. There was a small issue where he almost over charged us $30 for an extras bottomless mimosa but luckily we caught the error and it was corrected before checking out. The food was delicious. I opted for the Dry Aged Burger. It comes with a slice of heirloom tomato, arugula, cheddar cheese, and bacon onion marmalade on a toasted brioche bun with chili crisp aioli and a side of fries. I request my burger medium and it was cooked to perfection. It was juicy and packed with flavor. The brioche was soft and that bacon onion jam was a game changer. I also had the spinach dip. This was one of the best I've had at a restaurant. It was packed with artichoke, spinach, mozzarella, and Parmesan. It was rich and full of flavor. It was nice to actually taste artichoke. It was served with warm soft pita bread. I tasted my girlfriend's Berry Boujee French Toast and that was an experience. It was rich, sweet, indulgent, everything you'd find in gourmet French toast. The strawberry & cherry blossom cream was heaven with the brûléed lemon curd (sweet and tart). It was a perfect balance on the soft brioche French toast. This is a very sophisticated French toast and the flavors are bold. If you don't love lemon I would consider a different dish or have it removed. This dish did not need syrup. Last, the seafood tower was full of fresh seafood. It comes with tuna poke, scallops, lobster, crab, shrimp, and oysters. Everything was fresh and absolutely amazing. If you're looking for a more upscale place to dine with beautiful views check this place out. Also, you will have to pay $10 for valet parking. They only have valet, even with handicap. read more

I'd like to point out how amazing the bar staff are. Karla, Matt, Scott, Sean, Beau, Cassidy....even Tommy! I'm here pretty often as I usually stop by after work for a meal and drink. The food, to me, has always been great. From chicken and waffles to their filet mignon and everything in between, I've never had any complaints. Food is flavorful and plentiful. You cannot beat the view and setting. Your views extend from the mountains to the sea, and the interior is tastefully decorated. Top notch place for any reason! BONUS: Did I mention how great Karla is? read more

This is our 3rd time here and we love it. We came to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary and had a lovely experience. We had Jeff as our server and he was phenomenal! He answered any question we had and made sure we had everything we needed. Our food came fast, we started with what I think was cornbread with butter and some salt. Then they brought out our coconut shrimp and they were amazing. So crunchy yet so tender and buttery on the inside. The sauce they drizzle over them has a sweet but spicy flavor. The salad was also super yummy I just didn't think it was gonna be so big or I wouldn't have ordered it bc it was only me eating it lol the Mac and cheese was perfect, it was cheesy but not overwhelming. The mashed potatoes were very fluffy and the crunchy onion topping gave it a nice crunch to it. My ribeye was so juicy and tender. The dessert was okay, not too sweet. Such a cute restaurant to come celebrate any occasion. read more

What a wonderful restaurant! I brought my son here to celebrate his 40th birthday and they did not disappoint. From the excellent service to the unbelievable food and drinks and sitting outside watching the sunset - too wonderful for words. It's worth the cost, you get what you pay for and everything was amazing. Adam was our waiter and was fantastic. He heard me say it was my son's birthday and came out with a beautiful birthday cake surprise without me even asking. Make a reservation and definitely pay the extra fee ($20) to guarantee a seat on the patio if you want to get views of the sunset. read more

Views, views, views! What a beautiful restaurant. Elegant, sophisticated, and upscale vibes. Sitting outdoors for brunch with girlfriends, we can see Orange County from the top of the hills. Beautiful! I ordered their Salmon Benedict. While the taste was fully there, the smoked salmon was a bit over cooked. I still thoroughly enjoyed my dish. Their breakfast potatoes are delicious! Cooked perfectly with a nice crisp and flavor. Service was absolutely wonderful. Our server (sorry did not catch the name), was so accommodating and patient with us. We may have stayed a bit later after the bill was already paid, but he did not rush us out. Thank you so much for the wonderful service. Overall enjoyed my visit to Orange Hill today. It was my first time here for brunch, and would come back again. Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Variety of menu options to choose from. Cheers, Orange Hill! read more

Orange Hill is one of the best places in Orange County for both the food and the view. We came here with a group of friends and had an unforgettable evening. Watching the sunset transition into the sparkling city lights while enjoying great food and wine made the experience truly special. The panoramic view is absolutely breathtaking. The food was delicious, with fresh seafood, perfectly cooked steaks, and beautifully presented desserts. Everything was well prepared, and the service was friendly, attentive, and never rushed. What made the night even more memorable was sharing it with good friends. Great food, spectacular views, wonderful company, and a relaxing atmosphere--Orange Hill offers the perfect setting for celebrations, special occasions, or simply a memorable night out. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back! read more

Servers were very tentative, asked for seat change after being seated and was accommodated which was beautiful since the table that opened up was the closest to the edge of the balcony on a beautiful evening before sunset!! Amazing view, warm even though it was outdoors and a little windy, food came out nice and hot, portions were bigger than I could finish, steak was cooked to perfection. Everything had flavor! Drinks were great as well. Cheaper than Flemings and probably just as good or better. read more

This place was a mix of super fancy and also casual. I felt confused walking up bc some people were dressed in formal outfits and others were in baggy jeans. So I guess I advise you dress for your occasion! I got the prime rib which was really good. The brussel sprouts were also so tasty and the complimentary cornbread was also very good. I got a drink and the total came out to around $100. The view was great and beautiful at night. Parking is valet only, so just keep that in mind before coming! read more

Food was not the best. I ordered Zinfandel short rib was cold and the broccolini was way overcooked . They offered us complimentary corn bread oh my gosh that was so dense and it tasted like corn bread from the box Mac and cheese was very mediocre Also, women bathroom was a mess I guess the person who cleans took the day off there was no toilet paper , seat covers this was not acceptable Valet parking lost my car and gave me a wrong ticket waited for 20 minutes I wouldn't recommend this place The only thing good was the drink called freckles and the ambiance inside read more

The food and service is amazing. Really liked the decor of the place. Highly recommend for a date with a great view.

Gorgeous restaurant inside and out. As soon as you exit your vehicle the stroll to the front door has relaxing streams and a huge fireplace. We checked in at the front in the near empty restaurant and yet had to wait around 10 minutes before seated at a nice booth. I'm not sure why we didn't get a window or patio table in the empty restaurant but our booth was comfortable and still had a view. Brunch menu had a lot of tasty options. I ordered the smoked salmon Benedict with a side order of Belgium waffle. Also their Dubai chocolate espresso martini. This breakfast was perfection. I absolutely loved it. One of the best smoked salmon benedicts I have had. Even the side of potatoes and roasted tomatoes were amazing. The waffle tasted like a combination of a churro and funnel cake. Pure heaven. I've never tried the trendy Dubai chocolate bar but my martini captured the essence of what I have seen in pictures. Legit or not it was delicious. My wife had a pineapple cocktail I can't remember the name of that she thought was delicious. My wife ordered the prime rib. The slab was so massive it completely eclipsed the side dishes it was lying on! It was ok. She thought it was bland and the few bites I tried were ok, not something I would order.. It was oddly chewy for prime rib. My wife took most of it home and doctored it up. It came with mashed potatoes and broccolini. Our waitress was very friendly when we saw her but she was MIA most of the meal. I had an issue with a few items not matching the price on the menu and didn't notice until after I paid. I let the assistant manager Ray know and he's going to get it fixed. Double check your receipt. read more

I got married here! The staff was incredibly friendly and Cindy was able to help us with a smooth wedding planning process. everything was clear and when we had any questions they were addressed clearly.

Only thing I wish we had was music during the ceremony, but the silence was kind of perfect at the end of it.

Long story short: Worst dining experience ever. Never going again and would not recommend. Long story long: 7:15pm reservation on a Saturday (first mistake). Arrived 20 min early, only to be told that the valet parking is full and we must go to overflow parking at Santiago Canyon college, almost 2 miles away. Told there would at least be a complimentary shuttle available. Gets there and it's no where in sight. Attempted to call the restaurant to inform them we might be late due to this change. An AI Robot answered, I asked to speak to a real human, got transferred straight to voicemail. Great. We then waited 10 minutes for shuttle to arrive. Proceeded to cram into the back of shuttle with 9 other people, sitting hip-to-hip. Literally sardined. Finally arrived at the restaurant and checked in. Now we know outside seating isn't guaranteed (you can pay $20 to guarantee outside seating, which is silly in my opinion. But you do you). Politely asked if there is any way we could be sat outside. The hostess looked us up & down and (very rudely) says no. We're like alright...it was worth an ask at least? Could have at least been nice about it (like isn't being pleasant part of the job? But I digress). We ended up getting sat in the butt-crack of the restaurant. Very back wall. We ordered 2 beers to start, and it took 30+ minutes for them to come out. Our waiter brought us cans (prefer to have tap, but it's fine. But also though, a 30+ minute wait for cans? Hm.). He asked if we'd like them poured in a glass, we say yes; he proceeded to do the WORST beer pours ever. Over half of the glass is head. Comical at this point. Took a sip and it's ~warm~. Perfect. Waiter asked if we're celebrating anything, we say anniversary. He scoffed, "oh wow, seems like everyone is celebrating their anniversary tonight." Like ok??? Sorry to inconvenience you by being basic, maybe we should've gone somewhere else??? He also only checked on us once the entire evening, and the other servers in the area seemed stressed. Felt like the restaurant was understaffed. Food takes another 30ish minutes to come out. Pasta dish and burger are fine, but nowhere near worth the price. You could get the equivalent type of food at Lazy Dog (no-tea-no-shade, I like Lazy Dog. But if I'm paying $30 for a burger, it's gotta be at least a little bit special). We also ordered a side of mac & cheese, and it was bad. How do you mess up mac & cheese?? One bite and we were done. To top it off, the table next to us ordered something that was so smokey, our eyes were burning as we ate. Really added to the ambiance. Towards the end, they brought out a free "happy anniversary" brownie, which I thought was nice at first, but it also tasted bad. Got me thinking, how do you mess up mac & cheese AND brownies? This is easy stuff! By this point, we were like alright, can we just pay our bill and leave? But oh wait!! The shuttle! We then got to wait another 10 minutes for a squished ride back to our car. Great end to the evening (not)! Overall, it was terrible. For a restaurant that claims to do special occasions, it was anything but. Super disappointing, since we absolutely loved our first time at this restaurant last year. We were excited to return, but this experience has left us never wanting to go back. read more

Orange Hill might just be riding on the coattails of its own legacy and not trying to improve on much. Maybe it was because we did brunch instead of dinner so the vibe was a little more casual. For the price point and the reputation that this restaurant holds, I expected a little bit more in terms of quality. The service is nice, but not polished. There could be a little more attention to detail, like how servers at other fine dining restaurants do so. However, the food was great. We got the spinach dip, crab cake benny, and wagyu benny. No notes, we would get it again, but we won't be coming very often. Also you're forced to do valet, which is $10. read more

Thirdly, it is a dining experience so don't plan on getting in and out. Enjoy the ambiance, the food and the company your with. That being said the dining service was a little slow but the enjoyment of the dining experience out weighed that part. The food was delicious.

A great dining experience with a view to match. The city looks endlessly below, especially stunning at sunset, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. The steak is the real star, perfectly cooked, richly flavored, and clearly high-quality.

If you're looking for a restaurant with stunning city views, excellent food, and outstanding service, look no further than Orange Hill Restaurant. From the moment you step out of your car and hand your keys to the valet, the experience feels special. As you make your way into the lobby, you're welcomed by a beautiful fireplace that immediately sets the mood. We were greeted right away and invited to relax in the waiting area while our table was prepared. Don't get too comfortable, though, the wait wasn't long at all. Once we were seated, our server, Jeff, greeted us with water and took great care of us throughout the evening. He was attentive, friendly, and offered excellent recommendations on some of the restaurant's most popular dishes. We started with the coconut shrimp, and it was the perfect introduction to what turned out to be an amazing meal. I ordered the New York strip steak with mac and cheese and garlic fries. I wasn't expecting the portion sizes, they were huge. I barely managed to finish the steak, which was incredibly tender. If I hadn't been so full, I probably wouldn't have needed a to-go box. My wife ordered the bone-in ribeye with the 50/50 mashed potatoes, and it was just as delicious (yes, I snuck a bite or two). To finish the evening, we ordered the Café Con Leche dessert, an espresso lava cake topped with Oreo crumbs, cookies and cream ice cream, and espresso beans. It was so good I was almost willing to make myself uncomfortably full just to avoid leaving any behind. I'm exaggerating... but only a little. We've been here several times, and it has never disappointed. It's definitely on the pricier side, but it's well worth it for a special night out. Between the incredible views, attentive service, generous portions, and memorable desserts, Orange Hill is a place where you can relax, enjoy great company, enjoy great food, all while watching the city lights. read more

Last year, my wife & I went to Mastro's in Newport Coast for our anniversary dinner. I told them it was our anniversary and I asked for a quiet table. They literally put us in the main traffic path where everyone from the back of the restaurant had to walk right by our table to go to the restrooms. My arm was bumped at least 10 times and there were very noisy tables around us with some obnoxious children whose parents couldn't care less. it was one of the worst dining experiences we've had. Not going there again! This year, I searched for a restaurant where we could have a romantic dinner at sunset with a nice view. I chose Orange Hill Restaurant for our 15th anniversary. I've driven by there a thousand times in the past 20 years but never made reservations. I made reservations for 7 p.m. on a Sunday night, but we had to wait 45 minutes for a table and the sun set at 7:37. That was the only hiccup in our experience, however, the manager more than made up for that later. Adam was our server and helped us have one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. His wine knowledge was extensive and he thoroughly answered every question we had about the menu. His kind-hearted, easy-going demeanor was just what the doctor ordered. He really listened to us and made us feel valued and cared for. He came by our table to check on us the right number of times and even brought us a surprise at the end. I had the wagyu steak and my wife had the pasta with Lobster, Shrimp and... Squid Ink LOL I didn't know that was a thing :-) We split the mashed potatoes and broccolini and had plenty to take home. Both meals were excellent! Just when I thought I couldn't eat anymore Adam brings out this giant dessert tray that was just the icing on the cake. It was delicious! Thank you Adam and the staff at Orange Hill Restaurant. You helped us finally have a phenomenal anniversary dinner! read more

We had an amazing time at Orange Hill on Saturday morning. The location and restaurant was beautiful. First - parking is valet only $10. Second - brunch lasts until 4 pm. This is amazing. Third- their specialty drinks feel worth the $20 price tag. It's like a whole presentation. I had the paid vacation and it was amazing. We ordered the brunch for two which included some of everything: prime rib, crab legs, bennies, waffles, etc. Worth the price and I left feeling super full. Our waiter was very attentive. read more
