Tried this place after walking by it so many times while visiting the shopping center over the years, and we decided based on reviews and friends suggestions to give it a shot.
We needed a reservation, which actually made it easier if you know in advance.
I went out on a limb and tried the Waimea burger with the grilled pineapple, and I was not disappointed. Burger was cooked perfectly, and the flavor combinations worked very well.
We also got the citrus fired shrimp tacos that were very good, as well as the buffalo chicken wrap.
The only disappointment was the Buddha Bowl. My daughter who is a vegetarian did not care for it, said it didn’t have much flavor. However, she did feel that there were plenty of vegetarian items to choose from, and it didn’t deter us from wanted to come back. Definitely recommend as one of the top places in OC to eat. Service was also good. Oh, and the pasta salad was ridiculously good.

What Took Us So Long!!! We have lived in the area for 5 years. We hesitated because some reviews were not pleasant or it appeared seating would always be an issue! We rolled the dice on our 12th Wedding Anniversary yesterday and came in for lunch! ARE WE GLAD WE DID! Eric and Ben behind the bar knocked it out of the park. Friendly Service, Great Vibe and Fantastic Food. Our Only Regret, We didn't try it sooner. We Will be back and we WILL be recommending to all of our friends and colleagues!

Came here for the buy one get one free happy hour from 5-6PM Monday through Friday. Fantastic deal and the cocktails are great. Their craft beer selection is great too. We didn’t try the food, but would definitely come back for another happy hour. Cocktails were on average $12 last time we were there. The servers were very nice too.
