Okay here goes. In town for a meeting landed on this restaurant. Very cool vibe. The night we went thru were out of some options- a little strange for me so only a 4 on food. I also think there was 1 server and 1 bartender working. Both did amazing but a little bit of a red flag. The food was very good. Old fashion very nice. Cheese curds decent. Brussel sprouts interesting with an egg. Shrimp tacos everyone liked. Burgers very good.

U feel at home & well taken cared of! They have price Specials for the drinks all throughout the FIFA Games!

Chapter One — I hadn’t been here since pre-COVID, and wow… easily some of the best food I’ve had in a long time. The menu has changed, and I heard their chef earned a Michelin star — it definitely shows. Every dish was incredible, the drinks were so good, and the service was truly top tier. Such a hidden gem in downtown Santa Ana! Also, huge shoutout to our waiter, Jacob — only 17 and so incredibly sweet and attentive. You made our experience even better. Thank you!

First time here. Great pulled pork sandwich. Duck fries were awesome, nice and crunchy. My son had the the Bacon burger and he said it was nice and juicy, not dry at all

My first time here and OMG, it’s such a vibe! One of the best Steaks in Orange County. The Duck Fried Fries are amazing and EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious. Customer Service was prompt, warm, welcoming and professional. The Bartender laughed with the customers and provided a family oriented atmosphere. I don’t know that waitress name but not only was she friendly but had a photographic memory of the menu. I had the Bacon wrapped meatloaf topped with mash potatoes and Brussels sprouts! Simply delicious and very flavorful. But I could not keep my fork out of my dates plate. He ordered the sirloin steak and oh boy! Juicy, well seasoned, perfectly cooked - could NOT describe it. My compliments to the chef!!! I ordered Hennessy and Baileys and let me just say the serving portion did not disappoint! I told the waitress tonight that I’ll be coming back even if it’s by myself. The decor gives Library Adult version! With TV screens in every direction. The music was up to date and jammin! Parking is great as the lot is right outside the door. But to top it all off they serve a Filipino Egg roll called Lumpia. The Eggroll itself is so delicious no dipping sauce is needed. But, the
