- SsophieVIPOrange County •15 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food is amazing. We have tried several different items on our different visits and never disappointed. Services top notch.More infoBuona Forchetta San ClementePrice: Moderate• Italian• San Clemente•4.8
- HHannaLos Angeles •11 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFood was great as usual. Shared the pate, which was very good. Plenty of pate, grilled whole grain bread, variety of fruits, pickled red onion, pickled green onion slices(first time having this-it was slightly sweet & tasty), & jam. For my entree,I ordered my usual Gorgonzola & Granny Smith apple with grilled chicken. MUCH better than my last visit. My only complaint last visit was the lone thin slice of apple. That’s correct. ONE slice of apple. Perhaps the kitchen supervisor was new(?). Anyway, the salad was great. My friend had the rare grilled tuna sandwich. VERY good. My last visit, my MIL had the same & was also very pleased with her choice. We will continue to be regular patrons. The food & service are great. The brief tour of the garden/nursery is a nice distraction from LA traffic & the hustle of city life.More infoFarmhouse at Rogers GardensPrice: Expensive• American• Corona del Mar•4.8
- NNalaniSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThey were busy, however the hostess was able to keep up with check-ins and patrons paying their bills. We had a reservation and waited about 10 minutes for our table. Our server was kind and explained all that they had to offer. Food was delicious. I would go back!More infoThe Tea House on Los RiosPrice: Expensive• Afternoon Tea• San Juan Capistrano•4.8
- CCassidyVIPNew Orleans / Louisiana •13 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoAbsolutely incredible lunch experience! We were sat at one of the tables by the window, and we had such a spectacular view of the iconic California coastline, with surfers enjoying the breaks of the Pacific Ocean and plenty of wildlife to be seen. Service was wonderful as well, very attentive but not overbearing. Our cocktails were delicious, as was our starter, the swordfish dip. We loved our entrees as well, the seafood enchilada + lobster chowder. We ended with the lemon cake and salted caramel ice cream. We absolutely loved our meal and are already making plans to go back.More infoRAYA at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna NiguelPrice: Expensive• Latin American• Aliso Viejo / Laguna Niguel•4.7
