“ Customer service is always great here. Love how they show the games on the big screens. ”
“ We recently started going to the blind pig again. And each time, we enjoy the patio, service and drinks. We've even heard some live music, which was great. Last night was exactly what we were looking for. A nice evening walk, a couple of drinks, some apps that were delicious and a view of the lake while the sun went down. Just right. ”
“ As usual, Yelpers have it right. Gorgeous view, good service and vibe. I would love to come back for happy hour and see how they pour. My dessert was satisfying for such a hot day but I had to melt the rock hard, pre-scooped ice cream with the warm cobbler. The mint was a refreshing touch but wanted it to meld with the other flavors (maybe a quick torch to the mint and cobbler crumble topping might do the trick?). Extra points for the choice, tart rhubarb which I personally love. Very pleased with our servers. Thank you. ”
“ This is an absolute gorgeous restaurant with a lake view!! It's a HIDDEN GEM in Rancho Santa Margarita!! I wish I had known about this restaurant a long time ago! It was definitely a pleasant surprise!! As soon as I walked in, I was in awe and knew we were in for a wonderful dining experience. The outdoor area was very popular with the customers. There was a great view of the lake and the sunset. The front outdoor area has a view of the courtyard. Starters: Burrata with tomato jam, blueberry gastrique, pistachio tapenade, grilled sourdough. Absolutely delicious!! MUST-TRY! Coconut Shrimp with a sweet & spicy sauce and charred lemon Main: 20oz Ribeye with Kimchi Fried Rice, chojang and sesame oil. Perfectly cooked, juicy and tender! The Kimchi Fried Rice was so flavorful!! Stunning presentation! MUST-TRY!! Jidori Chicken Adobo with fingerling potatoes, pearl onions, soy-demi glaze, shaved fennel, white ice, garlic. The soy-demi glaze was very flavorful. The chicken was juicy. Lobster Roll with claw & knuckle meat, celery, shallot, garlic aioli, saurkraut, parsley, brioche bun. It's a little smaller than other Lobster Rolls I've had. Pan Seared Barramundi with a khao soi broth, green papaya, peanuts, cilantro, mint. That broth was packed with so much deliciousness! It tasted like a super flavorful Thai-style curry, just not as thick. The Barramundi had a firm texture and flaked apart easily. A wonderful balance of flavors! Drinks: Painkiller, Toucan Sam, Gild the Lily, Santa Margarita Spritz (some drinks can be made as a Mock-tail) These were so pretty and tasted great! Desserts: (MUST - TRY) Earl Grey Budino with a strawberry glaze, pistachios,whipped cream Skillet Cookie chocolate & macadamia nut cookie, condensed milk, vanilla ice cream The friendly Staff were very attentive. Our group had so much fun. Our dining experience exceeded my expectations! Can't wait to go back!! Add this to your list of girls night out or date night spots in the OC!! ”
