    So this was the restaurant in the hotel. All in all the food and drinks were great, but the service was a bit up and down. When I grabbed dinner I felt like I had to try real hard to get someone's attention when I was at a table right in front of the bar. However on another night the bartender was very helpful and made the night fun. It's convenient and meets your needs.

    Menu is extremely limited and not alot to choose from. The struggle was real. We picked to eat here based on the online menu. This place is empty and only 4 seats at the bar taken up by construction workers. The server told me they heated up the soup on the microwave...no French dip, no poke etc...the vibe is a hotel lobby not upscale at all. Like a holiday inn

    This restaurant accommodated a high school Disney field trip and the breakfast was awesome. But I came here another time previously to this and the poke nachos were really disappointing. It felt like a restaurant trying to be bougie and fancy but it was just alright. For the price it's not worth it in my opinion. Some of the portions were worth it like the rice dish I ordered attached to the image but for what we paid it was definitely not worth it so I won't be coming again. Maybe it's because they're so close to Disneyland they decided to up the prices. Lesson learned. Thank you, nonetheless. :)

    Lobster Ravioli
    Lisa S.

    A hidden gem in Disneyland! This is a wonderful place to eat a fancy-ish dinner for a reasonable price. After a long day at Disney, we wanted a nice dinner but we didn't want to pay downtown Disney prices. Since we were staying at the Four Points hotel, we decided to walk back and give it a try. We didn't have high expectations given it was a hotel restaurant. However, once we arrived around 6pm we were instantly seated. I was hangry so this made me so happy. We ordered coconut shrimp as an app, lobster ravioli and short rib for our entrees. The appetizer came out right away probably within 5 min. It was freshly fried, and delicious. Highly recommend! Lobster ravioli - HEAVENLY. I am a lobster fanatic and the dish was super rich and creamy, with hints of flavorful lobster pieces inside. It also had some tender shrimp (not listed in the description) which was a nice add on protein. Brownie Sundae - I mentioned to the server there was a check in offer, and I was offered a free dessert. I chose the brownie sundae (because chocolate and ice cream duh) and it was really good! Super warm and rich, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I preferred that the brownie would've been more fudgey instead of cakey, but my husband liked the chocolate flavor a lot. TLDR: if you don't want to be hangry for dinner after Disneyland and want a nice fancy dinner with food service, head here at dinner hour and you'll be impressed!

    Food: this was our first time and EVERYTHING we ate tasted delicious! LUNCH: Lobster ravioli: 8.5 of 10 -ravioli was well boiled and sauce was good just a little too much Lemon pepper chicken: 10 of 10 -seasoning was balanced and the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist/juicy on the inside Kid's pepperoni pizza: 8.5 of 10- kid approved with the right amount of dough to cheese and pepperoni Shrimp garlic noodles: 9 of 10-great taste and blend of sauce, garlic and shrimp was good size Desserts: brownie Sunday- 9 of 10 warm brownie with crispy outer and moist and delectable inside. Bread pudding: 5 of 10 unfortunately not a favorite. The bread pudding had an interesting flavor and taste, and not as moist and tasty as other amazing dessert. DINNER: Braised short rib: 10 of 10- "butter meat" amazing especially when the meat falls off the bone and melts in your mouth upon contact! Chicken and waffle: 9.5 of 10 -perfect combination with the chicken and waffle combo; not too sweet with the chicken warm and crispy, and the waffle was prepared just right. Brownie Sunday with two scoops: 10 of 10 was even better than from earlier today and with a strawberry and extra scoop (and red eye coffee on the side)! Service: both at lunch, dinner and upon check in--the staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful in making sure we were settled and welcomed to this small yet friendly hotel. Ambiance: not crowded at all--folks came and went and we had the place to ourselves for a little while until families started showing up. Family friendly and look forward to visiting again!

The room was getting progressively hotter so we asked if the AC was on and a server casually told us the AC was "on the fritz." We had spent months planning this event and this was incredibly disappointing. Even before the guests arrived, I noticed the cupcakes and macarons I had brought in melting from the extreme heat. All the guests were noticeably and understandably uncomfortable and sweating the entire 3 hours. No one came to check on us or to apologize for the inconvenience. This was not the event we had envisioned for the guest of honor who was 8 months pregnant. It was not only uncomfortable but also posed a health risk.The restaurant showed a lack of concern, care and accountability over the entire situation. I understand that the weather and the AC breaking were out of anyone's control but the handling of the situation and the aftermath was poor. We tried to give the restaurant opportunities to make this right but they failed at every opportunity. Because of the lack of communication, poor decision making and incompetency, I cannot recommend this restaurant for any events. The servers were nice and the food was all right but there are many other acceptable options for food in the area.

I was torn between the tagliatelle and the chicken and grits, but I skipped the chicken because I wasn't sure I'd like the grits. Kayla surprised me by bringing out a small sample so I could try them, which was such a thoughtful gesture. That's the kind of service that keeps people coming back. The atmosphere was perfect. We went on a Friday night, and there was a DJ playing music at just the right volume--it created a fun vibe without being too loud. We even received complimentary shots! We also learned that the owner and general manager have their own liquor brand that's only available at the restaurant, which was such a cool touch. This has officially become my new favorite spot in Brea. Highly recommend!

I gave…read moreReunion Kitchen 1 star across the board because the atmosphere, service, and food all fell well below expectations. The service was by far the worst part. We sat for over **20 minutes** without anyone coming to our table--not even to offer water. I eventually had to get up and ask someone to send a server over. What made it even more frustrating was watching other parties who arrived **15-20 minutes after us** receive water immediately and have their orders taken before anyone even acknowledged our table. After finally waiting another 10 minutes to receive our water, we had to track down our server again just to place our food order because no one returned to check on us. By that point, we had been sitting long enough and were more than ready to order. To make matters worse, we ordered an appetizer of coconut shrimp about five minutes after placing our entrée order, but it never arrived. After we had already finished our meals, we asked to cancel it, only to be told that our server had never entered the order in the first place. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the poor service. It lacked flavor and was very underwhelming. This experience was frustrating enough that I cannot recommend Reunion Kitchen. I initially wanted to believe this was simply an off day or an inexperienced server, but after hearing from two other people I know who described nearly identical experiences, it seems this may be a recurring issue. One thing that left me especially uncomfortable was seeing guests who arrived well after us receive prompt attention while our table was repeatedly overlooked. I can't say why that happened, but it certainly made us question whether we were being treated differently. I sincerely hope the restaurant looks into its service standards and ensures every guest is treated with the same level of respect and attention.
