Best Cosy Restaurants in Santa Ana

The best service I have had in a long time in any restaurant. From the hostess switching out the white napkins to black ones because we were wearing black. My date didn’t even notice until I pointed it out to her. Service was great throughout the night. The food was delicious as well. What more could we ask for?

Wonderful experience. Food & customer service were 10/10. Highly recommend. We drove 1hr to try this place out & we left extremely satisfied. Worth the drive . Make reservations before going . That’s how good this place is & the vibe inside makes you feel like you’re in a different country.

As always, Habana did not disappoint. My husband and I dined there last night. We were celebrating our one year wedding anniversary, and the third anniversary of our first date. We met on a blind date at Habana, and make it a tradition to go back every year. They gave us the sweetest postcard, wishing us a happy anniversary, and spread rose petals on the table, it was a very intimate and thoughtful touch. From the hostesses greeting diners with an offer of free champagne, to the amazing waitstaff, it’s always a treat. The food is so reliably good, my husband had the churrasco, and I had the salmon. The ceviche appetizer was to die for. I’m always struck by the energy on the patio, everyone always seems to be having a good time, and it’s just a place to celebrate. People having birthdays, anniversaries, it’s just the most warm and romantic atmosphere. Even on the coldest nights, the heated patio is the place to be. See you next year Habana!

This was an awesome, unique experience. The building itself is unassuming but once you're inside it's fun seeing how this home was transformed into a fine dining restaurant. The staff was extremely attentive, polite, and accommodating. The transformation of specific rooms to house couples, quads and large parties was unique and worked well. The food was incredibly well prepared and the flavor was incredible. I highly recommend it as a unique dining experience for an intimate birthday or special occasion celebration.

Chapter One feels like stepping into a scene in a novel. A converted bookstore, the menu often contains fun literary allusions and the simple fare is well crafted and cooked perfectly. They also make fun variations of moscow mules. The menu changes but there always seem to be mac and cheese, elevated vegan tacos, other tacos, steak and there is always something delicious. A fun and worthy destination that will not break the bank!
