    Asian Crispy Ribs, avocado won tons w/watermelon
    Stephanie W.

    OMG! While visiting Orange County we decided on Reunion for a late dinner. We shared appetizers since we couldn't decide on anything else and they did not disappoint. Service was prompt and the restaurant was filled with just the right amount of talk, laughter and noise. The loaded deviled eggs, Asian crispy ribs, and Avocado won tons w/watermelon were absolutely delicious!! Pictures won't do it justice, just go!!

    My first time here and experience was great. Our server was very attentive and the food was okay. It had more of a steakhouse vibe than brunch and was pleasantly surprised at the brunch selection. I ordered the chilaquiles - delicious, and the pancakes - a little dense and dry. I rounded up to 4 stars but this place is probably a solid 3.75.

    I recommend making a reservation so you don't miss out. The food is so filling and the service was great. My date and I sat outside, ordered food and drinks to share, and had a nice time together. And leave room for dessert! We took our butter cake to go, it was delicious.

    Still the best! I brought my friend whose new to the area here for dinner on a busy Thursday night. Was so fun! World cup playing on all the tv's. Food and service were fantastic, per usual. We both loved the stuffed jalapeño appetizer which does pack some heat when it's all done. I loved my Prime Flat Iron Steak -- cooked medium; it was tender, a lil salty for a couple bites, but otherwise perfectly seasoned. Asparagus was great as well. And the mash potatoes with blue cheese topping were outstanding. My friend loved her short rib, vegetables and mashed potatoes. She had the sauce on the side, suspecting it might be sweet, but it was not. She loved it all. We both had takeout containers because the portions were ample. And, my friend loved the lemon bar dessert. The taste I had of the dessert was fantastic; loved the crust and it was the perfect amount of tart vs sweet.

    My cousins and I visited for dinner after a long moving day. They have multiple locations, and I've been to the Santa Barbara location for brunch, so this is my first time visiting for dinner. Parking: They're located in a high foot traffic plaza. Finding a parking spot during rush hour will be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They have a large space with lots of indoor seating and some outdoor seating. The inside is incredibly dark. Since my cousin brought her dog, we dined outside. They had a few umbrellas, but since the sun was setting, it didn't do much. It was very busy, so the wait time to dine inside was over 30 min. Since we opted to dine outside, we were luckily seated immediately. Service: I didn't catch his name, but thank you to the host who seated us immediately. He was really nice. Shout out to our server Elise for being quick and attentive. She checked on us a few times and refilled our waters. Throughput took under 20 min after ordering. Food & drinks: I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken and Dad's Mai Tai. The entree included baked & fried chicken thighs, drenched with hot honey Nashville sauce, and served with mac & cheese, green beans, and a biscuit on the side. The sauce was sweet and had a slight spicy kick to it. It made the chicken even more delicious. The mac & cheese was creamy, and the green beans were seasoned well. The biscuit was dry, and the butter didn't really help. I like sweet cocktails, but the Dad's Mai Tai was too sweet for me. The maybe extra shots of rum would've been sufficient. Pricing: I really enjoyed their dinner! Highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken entree! Prices are more than you'd expect, but it's not surprising in this economy.

    I love this location. Reunion is one of the best places for a little meet up with friends with wonderful service and attentive servers. The food and drinks here are amazing and everything is always on the up and up. Whether you are coming for a date or coming to hang out, this place has such a welcoming vibe.

    King Hawaiian French toast
    Jazz G.

    The Ultimate Brunch Destination in Anaheim Reunion Kitchen remains one of my favorite brunch spots in Anaheim. The vibe is always on point, great music, comfortable seating, and a menu that actually keeps things interesting. The Brunch MVP: You cannot go wrong with the King's Hawaiian French Toast. It's an absolute staple for me. Small Plates to Share: Deviled Eggs: These are a must. They don't skimp on the filling, and that bit of bacon adds the perfect crunch. Jalapeño Poppers: The pairing with raspberry jam is genius, that sweet and spicy combo is honestly mouthwatering. The Drinks: My husband is a huge fan of their Bloody Mary. It's heavily garnished with a bacon-wrapped jalapeño popper and finished with a Tajin rim it's practically a meal in itself. They are also one of the few spots offering bottomless mimosas, which is always a plus. Room for Improvement: While I love the bottomless option, I do wish they would just leave a bottle of champagne at the table. Chasing down a server for every refill makes the experience feel a bit interrupted. Aside from that, I love this place and keep coming back!

    Asian Rib Appetizer
    Bill G.

    Recommend going in to eat. Their Asian Rib Appetizer is amazing but DO NOT get it to go. You'll end up getting the runts, overcooked and extremely small. Had this been the only time getting little cold runts or rib lets Id let it go but for over $25 not a fan of the way the treat to go orders. Someone start checking the cooks output.

    Brigette G.

    Had lunch with my daughter here at the location in Anaheim Hills. Really good service. The drinks in the food were excellent Ambience was great, but they are very busy. We didn't wait for a table. We sat at the bar Service was quick and friendly, one of my favorite spots in Anaheim Hills!

    Ok. REUNION! You did your thing and helped us have an amazing meal celebrating Father's Day. Yelpers if you are so lucky you will get Hannah as your server. She is awesome! Coupled with great food, you cant go wrong on dining here. Great vibe!

    Burrito & tater tots

    What other better place to celebrate our friend reunion at a place called "Reunion"? ;) We were looking for a good brunch place to try out and found this place near Corona. Parking: I had no problem finding parking spot as the lot is huge and shared with many other businesses. Interior: We were seated right away without any wait time as we arrived when they just opened. We were seated in a dark area of the restaurant (think bar vibe) so I was a little not sure at first. Most brunch places I went to were always filled with sunlight and bright colorful interiors. This place embraced a classic, quiet feel, something like a Steak House would have. Service: Our server's name was Susan I believe, who was nice and attentive through the whole meal, despite the crowd slowly built up and filled the restaurant. She never failed to check back on us, not just once but twice and refilled our water. She probably isn't as familiar with the brunch menu favorites but seem to know more about the Main menu. The General Manager came out and greeted us because most of their customers are regulars and it's uncommon to have first timers like us visiting. This nice hospitality made us feel very warmly welcomed and impressed. Food: I couldn't decide whether to go with the Slow braised beef on the brunch menu (braised beef benedict) or the main menu but ended up going with the Main menu to get a good portion size. It was a perfect choice because the beef is just amazing. It was cooked to a soft perfection, well seasoned, the roasted vegetable was also cooked just right and not super raw/ crunchy like other places. Then the star of the show arrived - the butter cake. As Susan suggested, this is their most popular dessert and I can see why. The butter cake comes piping hot with the ice cream on top. There's a nice sugar crunchy feel near the bottom of the cake. It's so delicious that I want to come back just to eat this cake. We had a great time overall and would love to come back.

    Horrible experience and extremely poor customer service…read more On Father's Day, my husband wanted to try this restaurant for the first time. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We were seated on the patio and waited for 15 minutes without a single employee approaching our table. Not one server, host, or staff member stopped by to acknowledge us, offer water, or even let us know someone would be with us shortly. We actually timed it from the moment we sat down until the moment we left. What made the situation even more frustrating was that we were seated in the middle of the patio in plain sight. We watched multiple servers and staff members standing around the service station, chatting, sipping drinks, and looking around. Meanwhile, guests who were seated after us had their orders taken, received water, and were even served appetizers before anyone acknowledged our existence. For a restaurant charging premium prices, this level of service is completely unacceptable. On Father's Day of all days, when families are trying to enjoy a special meal together, the lack of attention and basic hospitality was astonishing. After 15 minutes, with my husband and son both hungry and frustrated, I walked up to what appeared to be the manager or owner and informed her that we were leaving because no one had come to our table. Her response was that she "wasn't aware." Frankly, that's not an acceptable answer. If you're managing or owning a restaurant, knowing whether your guests are being taken care of is part of the job. I have traveled extensively throughout the United States and internationally, dining at everything from small local establishments to high-end restaurants around the world. Out of the countless places I have visited, this experience easily ranks among my top 20 worst restaurant experiences. Not because the food was bad--we never even had the opportunity to order--but because the complete lack of service and awareness was that shocking. To make matters worse, after leaving, we went to North Italia. Within a few minutes of being seated, a server greeted us, acknowledged the Father's Day rush, offered us bread, and genuinely seemed concerned when we explained what had just happened. That simple act of hospitality immediately changed the tone of our afternoon. That is how a restaurant should be operated. That is what good management, training, and customer service look like. You make guests feel welcome, valued, and taken care of--even on one of the busiest dining days of the year. This restaurant, unfortunately, did the exact opposite. We left disappointed, hungry, and genuinely stunned by how poorly the situation was handled. Will we return? Absolutely not. There are far too many restaurants that appreciate their customers and understand the basics of hospitality for us to ever give this place another chance.

I drove two hours each way yesterday because it is that good. Let me say that again. I drove two hours each way, and my only regret is that I did not order more food to go. We had the ribeye, which was so unbelievably juicy and tender and flavorful, we got short rib and chicken and the spicy rigatoni! We ordered two orders of the country bread because one order is never going to be enough! We got the brussels sprouts we got the cheesecake. I am just so disappointed that I did not order multiples of the short rib to go because let me tell you even Gordon Ramsey cannot do a short rib like Bosscat. There, I said it. Best restaurant, incredible value, the most amazing service, super clean tables, and restrooms. What more could you ask for? Oh, I know... a location in San Diego!

Spinach and Artichoke Eggrolls these unique egg rolls were served piping hot. the crunchy, crispy outer shell paired perfectly with the ooey gooey spinach and artichoke inside. the egg rolls themselves were pretty neutral in flavor, but the red pepper crème that it was served with was the perfect accompanying kick that it needed. Crispy Fried Chicken Salad i never really order a salad when i'm out, but on this day i was craving some greens. i got the dressing on the side, and i liked that this salad had a great balance of textures with the crunchy chicken, chewy bacon, and crisp lettuce.

My son called Culinary Dropout and spoke with Olivia, the hostess, to see if the kitchen was still serving. Olivia responded with genuine warmth and kindness, assuring us that the kitchen was still open and that they would be happy to welcome us. From the moment we arrived, Olivia's hospitality set the tone for an exceptional evening. She greeted us with a warm smile, made us feel genuinely welcome, and promptly seated us. Shortly after, our server, Layla, introduced herself. Despite the late hour, she was energetic, engaging, and had an infectious enthusiasm that elevated the entire dining experience. She expertly recommended several cocktails, along with a glass of wine, and her knowledge of both the bar program and the menu was impressive. Her recommendations for appetizers and entrées were spot on. We decided on the Wagyu Pigs in a Blanket, BBQ Nachos, and the Spicy Rigatoni. Every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. Another team member, Emanuel, delivered one of our dishes and was equally personable and engaging. He took the time to share information about the restaurant, further demonstrating the outstanding level of hospitality displayed by the entire team. Manager Dave also stopped by our table to check on our experience. We shared with him that this was, without question, one of the best dining experiences we've had in Orange County in quite some time. Great food certainly matters, but it was the exceptional service, genuine hospitality, and positive energy of the staff that made the evening truly memorable. A sincere thank you to Layla, Olivia, Emanuel, Dave, and the entire Culinary Dropout team for creating such a first-class dining experience. We look forward to returning soon and will gladly recommend your restaurant to family and friends.

Despite the late hour and the inconveniences of a large party, the staff there were accommodating and beyond hospitable. Every dish that came out was impeccable, and we all had the best time. They even gifted me an extra dessert (in addition to the one we picked out) for my birthday! We were all so impressed with our experience, and I already can't wait to go back for date nights!

    Came for a girls lunch date earlier to this weekend and this spot did not disappoint!…read more THE SERVICE: 5/5 - Quick, friendly, accommodating, and our waiter made a real effort to engage in conversation with us. The FOOD: 4.5/5 | Drinks: 5/5 Off the appetizers, we had the pork belly bites and dirty fries! First dish came with a long hot pepper, several mini tortillas, and 2 dipping sauces. The pork was crunchy on the outside and soft+succulent on the inside. I can see myself doubling up on this appetizer the next time I come. Dirty fries were great; it came with a generous amount of pickled onions - providing a really nice contrast to the savoriness of our meal. Our waiter graciously accommodated our request to have the egg on the side. Off the entrée/taco menu, my friend ordered the Korean tacos and I got the Ensenada (fish) tacos. But you can also order the Ensenada tacos with shrimp. These were delicious, I would have loved a little more lime crema to go with the fish - but not a big deal. I got a Watermelon Margarita. I wasn't expecting it to be HUGE, but it was the perfect amount considering how much food we as a pair ordered. My friend ordered the La Toxica table side cocktail and one additional mango cocktail. Table side cocktail was a whole show and my friend really enjoyed it. We had a great lunch at Tempo Cantina. I can't wait to try more of their bar menu, maybe even at night when the restaurant is lively

It didn't taste as good and wasn't as juicy sadly. The sauces were still consistent but the pork belly itself was a bit lackluster from before Tinga taquitos- these used to be so juicy, the chicken inside was a bit dry and the tortilla itself was too thick. U def need to use the sauces they provide to offset the dryness Grilled Octopus- this dish was good, octopus was juicy but portion was a bit small for what it was. It also came with sweet potato fries Loaded fries- idk what I was expecting but these were just fries with buffalo chicken nuggets on top. Don't get me wrong this was decent and the buffalo chicken was tangy and juicy! Thirsty Thursday deals happen all day $7 margs and you know I had to get some. Mango was the sweetest, strawberry was not bad, guava was the best in balance of flavor in sweetness and alcohol. Overall not a bad experience but note if u haven't came here in a while, the food quality has changed sadly

The venue features numerous screens throughout, making it a great place to catch all your favorite local teams--especially during playoff season. The atmosphere is energetic and welcoming, perfect for fans and families alike. I'm there most often for the live music. Harry, the owner, does a fantastic job booking a wide variety of bands, particularly on weekends--that's usually when my group and I head over. There's a spacious dance floor, and it's always a fun night for everyone who attends. The food is excellent with a solid variety of options, though I'd still love to see a big, classic hot dog added to the menu someday (hint, hint, Harry!). The service is consistently great, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend stopping by to catch a game or check out a local band on the weekend.

    Hi Melene Thank you for your response. I want to acknowledge…read morethat I did eventually sit down without being seated, and I understand that doing so was not consistent with your normal process. For that, I take responsibility. However, I believe your description leaves out important context that contributed to the situation. I waited in line like every other customer and spoke directly with the hostess. She was preparing to seat me, but then informed me that because I did not yet have all four members of my party present, I could not be seated. I explained that some members of my party were still looking for parking while others were on their way, and asked whether I could simply be seated as a party of one while I waited. I had driven a considerable distance specifically for this event and intended to purchase food and drinks. I was told that I could not be seated or served until the rest of my party arrived. What made this especially confusing was that the event had been advertised as first come, first served. Based on that advertising, I reasonably expected that arriving early and waiting in line would secure a place. Instead, I was told I could not be seated or served despite having arrived and waited my turn. Out of frustration, I briefly sat down hoping to get a drink of water and order food while waiting. When I was told I could not sit there, I immediately got up and left the table. I then asked whether there was anywhere else I could at least get food and water while waiting for my friends. Both the hostess and the manager informed me that I could not be served unless my full party was present. What further added to my frustration was watching a party of two get seated shortly afterward. Whether there were circumstances I was unaware of or not, it created the appearance that the policy was being applied inconsistently. My concern is less about being denied a table and more about the inconsistent messaging and customer experience. Had I been clearly informed in advance that "first come, first served" was subject to a full-party seating requirement, I would have planned accordingly. While I can acknowledge my role in the interaction, I believe there is also an opportunity for your business to reflect on how situations like this are communicated and handled. Customer dissatisfaction often comes not from the existence of a policy, but from inconsistent application and poor communication of that policy. Given the number of reviews expressing similar concerns, it may be worth considering whether there is a pattern that deserves attention. I wish your business success and appreciate you taking the time to respond.
