The place was nice and small, with a very intimate atmosphere that made it feel cozy and relaxed…read more It seemed like almost everything at this restaurant had a slight tang to it, and I couldn't quite figure out why. In some dishes, that flavor profile worked really well, but in others, it definitely didn't land the same way. We started with the warm artisan rosemary focaccia served with whipped honey butter. The bread itself had that same subtle tang I noticed throughout the meal, but the honey butter balanced it out nicely. The added sweetness helped cut through the tang, making it much more enjoyable overall. Next, we had the baked skillet mac and cheese, which was easily the standout of the entire meal. I don't say this lightly, but it was about as close to perfect as mac and cheese can get. It was rich, creamy, well-seasoned, and had that ideal baked texture on top. This dish alone made a strong impression. We also ordered the cast iron roasted Brussels sprouts. These had a similar tangy-sweet flavor like the focaccia, and overall they were actually quite good. However, the raisins added to the dish didn't really contribute anything meaningful. At first glance, I even thought they were corn, which was confusing. While the sprouts themselves were well-cooked and flavorful, the raisins felt unnecessary and didn't elevate the dish. The Caesar salad was probably my least favorite item. I'm not entirely sure why it was labeled a Caesar salad, because it didn't resemble the classic version at all. The Tijuana vinaigrette was extremely overpowering and leaned heavily acidic, almost like eating straight lemon. It lacked the creamy, rich, balanced flavor you expect from a traditional Caesar, which made it disappointing. For the main, I had the prime 10oz flat iron steak frites. The steak itself was cooked perfectly and had great flavor, so no complaints there. Unfortunately, the fries were cold when they arrived, which took away from the overall experience of the dish. Overall, the meal was okay. It's not something I would rave about, but it might be worth trying at least once. With such a limited menu, I expected a bit more consistency and refinement across the dishes. It wasn't the worst meal I've had, but it also wasn't the best just somewhere in the middle.

Having never heard of Hanna's, I went in with no expectations for my brother-in-law's birthday--and…read moreI left thoroughly impressed. The experience started on a high note when we met a friendly local couple who recommended ordering the sauce plate for our steaks. It was a game-changer. Our table shared the calamari and bread to start, followed by perfectly cooked Filets and a Ribeye, with sides of asparagus and risotto. Every cut was prepared to perfection, especially when paired with those sauces. We even got a glimpse of the "Surf and Turf" (a Tomahawk and two lobster tails) at the date nights table; we've already decided that's our order for next time! To top it off, our waiter surprised us with the butter cake for dessert, which featured a phenomenal crust and a perfectly balanced savory-sweet flavor. The entire staff--from the attentive servers to the chefs who waved and thanked us as we left--made us feel truly welcome. Even with a 45-minute drive from Corona, the exceptional food and service make Hanna's well worth the trip.

We went for lunch. The service was excellent. Since we really came here to have the butter cake, we…read moredecided on a light lunch. Meatballs on the appetizers was more than enough for lunch. 3 huge meatballs in a sauce and 2 pieces of italian bread. My friend had deviled eggs. 4 of those. Very good. Then we had the butter cake topped with ice cream. The only complain I have was i did not know where to park, it's in a very busy corner. I finally figured the parking lot across the street. I will be back for sure

Make sure to wear a tie if you go here!!…read more It's a strictly "no-tie" policy and they'll cut it off then hang it up if you wear one. It's a fun way to start off your experience. The inside is fairly dark and filled with old items like a jukebox, pictures, ties from over the decades. It feels like going to a small town restaurant that's far removed from urban sprawl. The servers were all very nice and helpful making the experience even better. We came here to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday as he had never been, neither had I. We all got steaks of course, unfortunately I really messed up getting pics of the whole meal! So enjoy the few I did take, just know they don't do it justice. I started off with a side salad, my fiancé got a side caesar salad, and my dad got a wedge. The regular side salad was delicious with blue cheese dressing, the caesar dressing was one of the best I've had, and the wedge was HUGE with delicious big pieces of freshly cooked bacon on top. They serve free garlic toast with the meal which was perfect with the salads and the steaks. My sister and her fiancé got filets, my dad got a new york strip, and I shared a 27oz porterhouse with my fiancé. Everything was cooked to exactly as ordered with nice grill marks. They only cook over charcoal, no gas or electric. The flavor the open flame gives a steak is tough to beat. Each plate also came with beans and more garlic toast. I will say the steak was slightly under seasoned, could use a bit more salt. The beans were so good I even drank the sauce they came in after the beans were gone! I would definitely come back here again, it's a great experience and the prices are reasonable. The ambience is hard to beat if you like that historic rustic feel.

The…read morestaff is professional, knowledgeable, and well versed in both the food and drink menus, making the overall experience even better. The cocktail selection is excellent, and the wine list offers plenty of great choices. The salads were exceptionally fresh, and the sea bass was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. There is plenty of parking available in the lot, which is always a plus. Since the restaurant is located in an office complex, it tends to get busy on weeknights after work. A weekend visit may provide a more relaxed experience. Overall, it is definitely worth checking out for the food, drinks, service, and unique ambiance.

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.

The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and has a good atmosphere. Our server was wonderful and…read moreshe stayed on top of everything throughout the meal. As for the food, just don't go into it expecting Selanne's Steak Tavern or Mastro's. I specifically wanted halibut and ordered the panko halibut. The fish itself was good and not overly fishy, which I prefer, but overall it felt more like an upscale fish and chips dish than a true fine dining halibut entrée. The potatoes were good, but I didn't care for the pasta at all. It was very dry. The salad tasted good, but it was nowhere near worth the price. It had maybe two tomatoes and a light sprinkle of nuts. At $13, it felt extremely overpriced. Would I come back? Probably not. For the price, I expected more, and the fish was really the only thing I genuinely enjoyed. That said, it is a nice addition to the area since there honestly aren't many places around like it. The biggest downside for me was really the side dishes overall. The pasta and salad just didn't match the pricing or the level the restaurant seems to be aiming for. I also wasn't a fan of the music. The atmosphere would fit much better with more of a Frank Sinatra style instead of what sounded like generic 90s elevator music in the background. Overall, for the area, it's a nice spot. But for the price point, there are definitely better options.
