Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Santa Ana

The Plot is a delicious innovative vegan restaurant. We went for brunch and the food was fantastic. We shared a toast flight which had something different on each slice. We had chocolate cherry scones which had a hint of rosemary. So delicious. I had a Korean chiken with rice and kale and my husband had chiken and waffles. Everything was so good. The service was outstanding. This was our 2nd visit. I am already looking forward to our next visit. They take reservations. The parking, however, is a challenge because there are numerous restaurants and shops.

Very good Japanese yakiniku aka bbq. The quality of meat and marinade are excellent. We had Tokyo style beef tongue and Kobe beef tongue; US prime short ribs, US prime Rosu and Kobe Short ribs. All meat are tender, soft and juicy. No doubt Kobe one stands out. Service are great, you are getting enough attention during your meal time but not overly. This is one of our favorite bbq place in LA area. We would definitely come here every time we visit LA.

We love it here we come every year on Christmas and they never disappoint

The food is always fantastic at this restaurant and the service is usually great as well, but on this visit the service was a little slow. It was not much of an issue as it was Christmas Eve and I believe the restaurant was a little short staffed. We felt our waiter did as well as he could as it appeared that he was only one of two waiters/waitresses we saw working the entire restaurant and both of them were doing hosting as well.

We were seated right away and our server was very friendly and attentive to us. The meal was delicious and we enjoyed the evening.
