    To start thing make sure to make reservations, especially on the weekends. Service is great, the food was delicious and the employees are a lot more welcoming and attentive than other restaurants. This location has to be better than the Irvine location. Despite the location being a lot more busy than the other restaurants. They got our food a lot faster.

    Came here for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. Everything from the food to the cocktails to the extra touch by service …..10/10! They took the time to address a hand written birthday card that was waiting on the table when we got there. We ended up having scallops, calamari and I went with the grilled shrimp spaghetti. Ohhhhhhhmygod was it AMAZING! Every single thing was delicious. Thank you J Trani’s for a wonderful evening

    What a great dinner with the four of us girls hanging out for the night. All our dinners were delicious, our cocktails were delish! And the desserts don’t get me started. We ordered three different desserts and shared them all it was heavenly. Our server Melanie couldn’t have been sweeter and we enjoyed the night very much.

    Our lunch was scheduled for 12:30. I thought with it being right in the middle of the lunch hour, it would be very noisy but I was pleasantly surprised that the ambiance was great! The service was top notch and we were able to catch up, eat delicious food and enjoy the company! It was a wonderful lunch!!
