Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Placentia / Yorba Linda

i’m so insanely impressed with everything! staff was so nice & so helpful. the restaurant was very clean & taken care of. the food was so yummy! we left our phone behind on accident & the staff was so nice & reassured us it was safe. truly love this place, & was such a nice place to celebrate at!

Oceans & Earth is my favorite place to have a delicious dinner. Tonight I tried something new with the wedge salad that was fresh and flavorful. I also had the chicken flatbread. The chicken was very tender and the mushrooms and onions and sauce on top was delightful.

Excellent service, food, drinks, and atmosphere. Our favorite place to gather with friends for a great time!

The food is always excellent, and the service is outstanding. They have the best “by the glass” wine menu!

What a pleasant surprise! We mourned the loss of our favorite local Mexican restaurant, Joaquin’s, a couple of years ago. It was empty for a while, but finally reopened as Dive, a small chain with Cajun themed seafood. Our hostess/server, “Bar,” was engaging, friendly, and helpful. She had good suggestions and in-depth knowledge of the dishes. All the shellfish, both cooked and raw, were fresh and properly prepared. The flavors top-notch. It’s a bright and airy space, quiet with only three or four tables occupied on a Tuesday night—40% off bottle of wine night. My only ding is the pricing—a bit expensive for such a casual experience. Quality seafood is not cheap, but $15 for bread pudding is a bit much unless you’re in a very fancy place. Also, a charge for a bit of bread for the table (good bread—toasted) always rankles me. Still, in the dining desert that is Yorba Linda, we’ll be back.
