Best Californian Restaurants in Placentia / Yorba Linda

This was our second time eating lunch there. Service was friendly, efficient and timely. We had the fish taco special, the mussels in leek broth and the Parker house rolls. If you get nothing else, get the rolls! Crispy and buttery on the outside and doughy and soft inside. The fried fish in the tacos were crunchy and the sauce was flavorful and accompanied the fish well. The mussels were cooked just right - still soft and flavorful in a light, savory sauce. The butter cake was the epitome of decadence. Definitely recommend for lunch.

I had an amazing dining experience at Story in Anaheim! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the gorgeous decor. The combination of chic chandeliers, stylish chairs, and swanky decorations created an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and welcoming. The service was equally impressive. Our server was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable, answering our questions with ease and making great recommendations. And then there was the food—absolutely incredible! Every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and prepared to perfection. It’s clear the kitchen takes great pride in their craft. I can’t wait to go back!!

Always a special treat to dine at The Farmhouse! Loved my burger, our table also loved the Jidori Chicken, and the mussels. The Butternut Squash Soup was reportedly meh. Desserts a bit disappointing today (not usually) — can’t recommend the berry sorbet (odd-tasting), and the Vanilla Pot de crème was a bit bland according to the friend who had the soup. Our waiter was like a warm hug, the kind of server you look forward to his check-ins!

The food, the staff, the view! Everything was perfect! I love this place!

Beautiful location beach facing at Crystal Cove. Christmas tree in the sand provided a lovely setting to take photos. Did not realise about the distant parking and shuttle bus so glad we arrived 30 minutes before our reservation time. Food and drink options fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed our meal apart from no asparagus in my risotto, hubbie shared his with me! Servers helpful and refilled water regularly. Well worth the visit, one for the memory books, will recommend:))
