    Menu from february twenty twenty six and the cob salad

    Services waiting for you and accurate pizza.Flat bread is simple, but fresh salads are adequate.Simple and lacking great dressings. Happy hour has good prices from 3-6~Ciders are very good from sonoma @ $4.64!!!!

    Noisy but cool place
    Mahak Jain J.

    Ambiance is great ...... it's inside the Hilton hotel but it's very noisy a kind of bar feeling . Service is slow as they never pick your call for room service . Their was no one at front to ask and then I had to go to person at bar to take my order for to go. It's expensive for stir fry vegetable 25$ but the portions are huge and it comes with salad or soup , potato or rice

    Shrimp Tacos
    Karl A.

    This was more than I was expecting. The host/server Paul was awesome! Great personality and great attentiveness to the tables. I got a well vodka and it was rough. I'm not sure the brand, but it was not great. The shrimp tacos were another story... they were fantastic! The shrimp was lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. The slaw was fresh and crisp and the sauce was smooth and flavorful! I will come back just for those! The calamari was good to, but I felt it could have used a little more seasoning. Great service, good food, convenient location!

    Omg!! Tania with purple hair is amazing!!!!! She is so good we upgraded drinks and because of her we decided to stay for dinner as well, let me tell you!!! It did not not disapoint!! Ribs were amazing and fetticini as well.. she alone deserves 100 stars!!!

    Came here for the first time, and everyone was so nice. My waiter saw that I had a jacket and brought a small coat stand for my table. They have great customer service. The food was amazing. I recommend the prosciutto pizza. It has a romantic feel with dim lighting and the outdoor area in the back has beautiful green foliage. A great place for a first date an anniversary or a girls night out!

    Flatbread pizza
    Vanessa G.

    This restaurant is not closed. It is fully open. Lovely restaurant located inside the Embassy Suites. My husband and I recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner. We shared the cobb and caesar salads. We also shared a Flatbread pizza and some bar bite happy hour pretzel bites. Everything was delicious. We had wine and some happy hour drinks. Staff was friendly and also quite funny. We had a great experience.

Came with a large group 9 of us in total and we made a reservation at opening just to be safe but it wasn't very packed.

Food slowly started coming as it arrived, brussel sprouts, potatoes, which whatever the sauce on the bottom of those potatoes SHEESH FIRE! Food slowly arrived and everyone enjoyed what they ordered and shared so we could all try a little bit of everything as it arrived. It wasn't that anything was bad it was that nothing really was a home run. The food was good the service was fine but when your spending what griffins is saying their food is worth in my opinion the details matter that much more and once again it's not that anything was bad it just wasn't as elevated as the price point.

I had not noticed that they had some healthy items on their menu so I decided to walk in. This time I was by myself and did not have my wallet with me so I asked if I could use Apple Pay to pay which you can. I decided to sit at the bar by myself. The bar area had a good ambience with a game from the Dodgers playing. The bartender was really friendly and made me feel welcomed. Once I ordered my beer came out pretty quick and my burger followed not too long after. I ordered the bison burger, and it was really good. I saw a few other items that would be guiltless or not as unhealthy that I will most likely try on a different location after the gym when I'm hungry and don't feel like cooking afterwards.

My favorite was the Passionfruit Sour. We had the carnitas nachos, which lacked a bit of spice, and the pork was dry. The pretzel was soft, and out of the three dipping sauces, the honey was surprisingly our favorite. The cheese sauce was a little odd. For the wings, we would have loved to get two flavors, but they only toss the wings in one flavor. If you choose a second flavor, half of the wings are served plain with the sauce on the side.

I've watched it poured straight into a regular pint glass with no 45-degree angle and no pause for the proper two-step pour. It comes out flat, with barely any creamy head, which completely changes the texture and experience. Guinness isn't just another draft beer; it needs to settle, and it should be served in a proper tulip or Guinness glass to get that classic presentation. The fix is simple: slow the pour down and train the staff on the traditional method. The pub has the vibe. Now it just needs to respect the pint.

    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.

    Passed by this place and decided to give it a try. What a unique German restaurant right in Brea…read more It instantly reminded me of the Hofbräuhaus in Vegas with its friendly and welcoming food hall. I'm not super familiar with German cuisine, but everything felt authentic and traditional. I ordered their popular Ruben sandwich, served hot with corned beef, sauerkraut, and a Russian dressing on rye bread. It was delicious and packed with meat and flavor. The fries that came along with it were so crispy and tasty. I also tried the breaded veal cutlet, which is a German specialty. Both dishes were very good and hearty. They also have a great beer selection on draft. I went with the Spaten Pilsner, which paired perfectly with the meal. I love that each of their beers is served in its own branded glass. It was just super filling, I wasn't able to finish everything. Overall, a great experience and definitely a spot I'd come back to and try their various specialties (like their sausages) !
