Andre has an incredible voice and creates the perfect vibe for a relaxing evening with friends or family. His rendition of Tennessee Whiskey is otherworldly! The Summer Berry Salad was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a warm summer evening. The new Mortazza Pizza was outstanding--crispy, savory, and packed with flavor. The Black Pepper Beef & Onion Bowl was another standout, with tender beef and a rich, satisfying taste. Great food, great music, great service, and a beautiful setting. We'll definitely be back soon!

Thanks for a great meal!

The Wellington completely knocked our socks off! And don't skip the pita bread. It was perfectly warm and fluffy, and it's one of those appetizers everyone at the table will love. The ambiance is cozy with a warm, dimly lit atmosphere that's perfect for date night or a relaxed dinner with friends. The restaurant isn't very large, which meant it never got overly loud, even with our group. The service was friendly and attentive, and parking was easy with plenty of spaces available. We'll definitely be back!

You should never judge a book by its cover. Pulling up to the nondescript strip mall, I was sure…read morethat all the amazing reviews had gotten it wrong. The truth is I couldn't have imagined what an enjoyable meal myself and my two companions would be having. Having flown in from Seattle for work we were desperate to get away from the Hyatt Regency for a little bit better food. So I turned to yelp. As we walked inside you are immediately taken by the charming atmosphere. Everyone was so welcoming! From our amazing waiter Timmy to Misty our chef/owner. Every single dish was fantastic. From the French Onion soup with bone marrow, the Mac and cheese shareable, to the garlic bread with pesto.. But the entrees and desserts SHINED! I had the scallops while the other two had the 8oz hanger steak. Both steaks were cooked to perfection (rare and medium well) and the scallops were so buttery soft they melted in your mouth. The desserts was cheesecake with a raspberry gelee for one and a warm banana bread with ice cream and chocolate drizzle for the other. Even though we were all stuffed, the plates were worthy of a lick (although we restrained ourselves). So if you're ever find yourself in Huntington Beach and want to up your food game, come to this little gem. It won't disappoint. Will definitely be back next time!

You can tell it's been thoughtfully curated, and the staff really knows how to guide you through it. The pairings are intentional and elevate the entire experience, not just an afterthought. The ambiance is top-notch, effortlessly stylish, warm, and the kind of place that works just as well for a date night as it does for a relaxed night out with friends. And the food... the pork belly taco was absolutely mind-blowing. Perfectly balanced, rich without being heavy, and executed with real attention to detail. This is one of those places where everything, from service to wine to food; comes together seamlessly. Definitely a standout.

Chris was incredibly responsive before the reservation and a was able to add one of my friends. Chris is also the wine maker and has won several OC Fair awards for this wine.

The wine was so good. The last wine was a port which I normally find too sweet and just too much and this port was the best I've ever had and would drink again! Thanks for a great experience!

The space itself is adorable, and I love that they have so many games you can play while you're there. It makes the whole experience feel really fun, relaxed, and different from your typical wine bar. The wine is amazing. The flavors are so unique, and honestly I loved it so much more than the typical wine you'd find at the grocery store. Every wine we tried was insanely delicious--we kept raving about each one. Trust me, the wine makes this place really stand out, you won't be disappointed! This is such a great spot for a chill night out where you can just have a glass of wine, hang out, and chat with friends.

Had reservations for a party of four (made via online) and was seated right away. Ambiance is dark and intimate but seating was enough to feel like you had room. Drinks were delicious and strong and service was great and quick. You are limited to eating and drinking within a certain time frame but it's not bad as the servers are on it. Drinks 10/10 and food 10/10. I'm still craving their burger, one of the best ones I have had, I can't even compare it to anywhere else. Bathrooms are located outside of the speakeasy.

Not sure if reservations are required, but this speakeasy is pretty tiny so I can't imagine it can accommodate walk ins. We had a reservation for 8pm on a Friday night. The door is very well hidden, I thought it'd be in a basement around the corner or something. The space is really small, so big groups are not advised. I had the niña fresa, a strawberries and creme type drink. Delicious! If you like sweet drinks, otherwise do not get it. I had the Saturn afterwards. Still a little sweet, but mostly sour. The server came by to say that we only had 25 min left, so we hurriedly ordered a last drink. But when he delivered it, it magically became 5 min! I chugged my drink and was ushered out the door. Overall it was pretty nice but I didn't enjoy having to rush at the very end.
