Met up at Our Nest today with my very dear friend. We have always gone for breakfast and decided we…read morereally wanted to try some items from their lunch menu. We both got salads- I got a B.A.B.S bowl and my friend ordered the Grilled Lemon Salad....both were delicious, Our server Sarah B. was so nice and kind; and took the time to show us their Happy Hour and Dinner menus that they serve Thursday-Saturday... needless to say we have already made plans to go back! Thank you Sarah for a wonderful afternoon! See you again soon

Our Nest is such a great local spot! The ambiance is chill and inviting, the food is delicious, and…read morethe service is fantastic. You can tell the owners take pride in their business and food. Husband had the chile verde, and it was absolutely off the hook. I grew up on eating loco moco," so any chance I get to try someone else's I will. I can really appreciate the chef's spin on elevating a classic comfort dish. The Spam fried rice was incredible, paired with the traditional hamburger patty, gravy and fried egg. I even loved the addition of spinach--it almost made me feel like I was eating healthy! They also offer a beautiful dinner menu Thursday through Saturday, plus a full bar, which makes it a great place for both casual meals and date nights. My only gripe is that they're not open for dinner on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because I'd definitely be there more often. If you haven't tried Our Nest yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. Let's support local businesses that are doing it.

Right in the heart of Brea, there was still plenty of parking in the public structures on a…read moreSaturday night. You immediately feel a welcoming vibe. Service was top notch! We tried a couple of appetizers, clams and meatballs. Both were delicious! If you're a bourbon drinker, try their oxtail Old Fashioned. So many delightful flavors! In the spirit of nose-to-tail, one of our dishes was their take on oxtails. Tender and flavorful, definitely recommend trying it. Hanger steak was grilled to perfection. The skirt steak was special. The staff really took excellent care of us. Griffin's might not be the least expensive option in Brea, but it might just be the best price/value. We will be back! Cheers!

Went to Griffin's last night, we came previously last year when we were in the area and had a…read moregreat meal. This time was good and not so good. We went early for happy hour, I got an old fashion and my wife got "danger is my middle name", same cocktails we got last time but were war too sweet. We were disappointed in these drinks, they were much better last time. Our bartender Jose was very personable but needs to be better. The table next to us ordered a Rombauer Chardonnay, got the wrong white wine, shows he wasn't paying attention. We started with a Caesar salad, a tad over dressed, too much dressing but we really enjoyed it. I had the whole snapper which was excellent, my wife got the shrimp tacos, she didn't enjoy that, it was over spiced, too hot and not mentioned on the menu ingredients. So many dishes on the menu were spicy, a lot for the small menu. I suggest management add indicators which dishes are spicy. Some were hits, some were misses but overall a disappointing experience

Terra Pizza is FIRE! The flavors are bold, fresh, and…read morepacked with flavor. We ordered the mushroom and grilled onion pizza, and it was absolutely amazing! The ingredients tasted fresh, and every bite was delicious. What really stood out was the customer service. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly from the moment walked in. If you're looking for excellent pizza and outstanding service, Terra Pizza is definitely worth a visit. We will absolutely be 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.

Wow! We came for…read moretheir new Gatsby tea service and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is gorgeous and on point. We started with The Gatsby Effect drink which came in beautiful glasses and a tower that drips butterfly pea tea gin into your glass, changing the color of your drink. There's only one tower option with dinner. It comes with an entire 1 oz container of caviar with crumb fresh, chicken nuggets with crown fresh smoked trout caviar and chives, spicy ahi tuna wonton chip, mini lobster rolls, kettle chips, shrimp cocktail shooters, wagyu sliders, and chicken Caesar salad skewers. Nothing disappointed! Everything was high quality. Shrimp was plump n meaty. The service was great! Our waitress was very nice and checked up on us often. This was a great meal, great service, and great price! I would definitely come back

We came here for the tea experience. This review is only for the tea experience. Okay, so this…read moreplace is very nice. They really do well with presentation. Service was just okay. Tea was really disappointing. Can you call it a tea experience when they use tea bags my loose leaf with a lack of a tea selection and have to share a tea pot with 3 people? This was a really big let down. It's not your traditional tea. Sandwiches were fine. I enjoyed a couple of them. The biscuit was good. They also didn't have scones and clotted cream. In my opinion not a true tea experience. Desserts were not good. The attempt made for the ube and pandan were more of a trend following technique rather than a true love in creating something delicious. It was a disappointment. The experience wasn't terrible it was just okay. Stick to a proper tea place is you are looking for a proper tea experience. If you want just cute pictures and just a great ambiance then you'll be fine coming here. I was between giving 2 and 3 stars for this place. I can't deny this was a cute place. $45 a setting... I didn't see the value. I think this place would be better for just pure brunch rather than tea.

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.

This was genuinely one of the best dining experiences I've had in Southern California. I came for a girls' night out, and everything was flawless from start to finish. The wine pairing was perfect, and even the complimentary bread and truffle butter that arrived at the table were unforgettable. We started with the escargot and the hamachi crisp--both beautifully presented and bursting with balanced, sophisticated flavors. For our entrées, I ordered the uni pasta, while my friends chose the scallops and the sea bass. We all shared bites of each dish, and every plate was outstanding. The quality of the ingredients, execution, and attention to detail were evident in every course. What truly elevated the evening was the hospitality. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm.
