Best Restaurants for Foodies in Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita

One of our favorite neighborhood haunts and always a pleasure. We especially love the patio. The weather did not permit patio seating this particular night with the combination of Santa Ana winds and a particularly chilly temperature for SoCal, but we found the interior a lovely change. During the weekend the dining room can get a bit loud as the acoustics aren’t great, but since we were here during the off season for SJC (and on a weeknight) it was fairly quiet. Our server was fabulous and the food was exceptional. The squash blossom flatbread is a must!!

First time having dinner and everything was excellent. Service totally on point. Food so delicious and filling. Great drinks. Couldn’t have asked for a better date night! Can’t wait to come back.

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?

Always love coming to this location. After the renovation it’s even more beautiful. I was worried the menu/food would be different. I’m happy to say it was just as good as always. Service was great too.

The Pizza Is an always appetizer as well as the pate board. We enjoy these 2 items very much. Today we had the Butternut squash soup that was extremely delicious, and we had the Granny apple Gorgonzola salad with Chicken.
