    My texts to him after I met "Muhammad" (aka Mike). They weren't even started and already issues.
    Plant B.

    If this is the Best OC Valet - then someone better disrupt the market because this was the worst experience EVER. From the get go they were shady and creates stress for me. MIKE MUHAMMAD SAKIANI IS A DISHONEST SCAMMER AND NO ONE SHOULD DO BUSINESS WITH HIM I contacted the owner Mike Sakiani August 7th inquiring about valet service for my sister's engagement party. I explained that my mom's community does not allow cars parked in the neighborhood so I was also planning to rent parking in the Newport Dunes. On August 19th we connected briefly and he told me he planned to drive around the area and scout the parking situation. I reminded him I was planning to use the Newport Dunes. Tuesday, August 23rd, I again spoke with Mike and he told me he scouted the area Sunday and he planned to park on the street (Bayside Drive), I asked him if he was positive there was enough parking and he said yes. Again, I asked if I should do the Newport dunes and instead only hire 2 valet attendants. Mike said no, the dunes was not necessary and that instead I should hire the 3rd valet attendant to shuttle the other 2. I trust he had a plan - since it's his job and did his suggestion. I was emphatic about the parking situation, but said if hiring the third to shuttle the others, as an alternative to paying $15/car for the dunes then I'll just keep all 3 on the clock for 3 hours. I said great that saves me $300. We got off the phone and within 15 mins I forwarded it to my younger sister who was splitting costs with me as a gift to our older sister, and explained EXACTLY what Mike said by phone: My sister texted: Where are they parking? My response: On the street, we have the third attendant who will be driving the other Attendance. Mike has it all figured out, he told me this is a better option. MIKE HAD IT ALL FIGURED OUT. Yes, he was planning to do a rug pull and fuck up our older sisters engagement party Today, as soon as I arrived to my sisters party I walked up to the valet and introduced myself. Immediately I asked how do pay the invoice, and the attendant said it was his first day and he did not know. Before I could even go in he said there's no where to park - I immediately said, "that's not my problem, I hired you to figure out this problem". I asked where Mike was and they pointed to the back. I walked in that direction and met with two other men. I asked the older gentleman who he was and he said Muhammad. When I asked where Mike was he said "I don't know"... spoiler alert: 2 hours later I found out Muhammad was being dishonest as HE WAS MIKE! I called Mike and he did not answer so I texted him (see picture). When "Muhammad" was out of site, "Mike" answered my continuous phone calls. He played it off like he was remote and starts telling me that I need a shuttle and that's extra - I reminded him that the 3rd attendant was the shuttle. He said don't worry, they will figure it out. My fiancé spent 90 minutes doing their job, moving cars, making sure the cars were safe, even tried finding parking. Tow trucks were coming and they were complaining there was nowhere to park. I reminded him I had offered to rent the dunes, but he said no - he had the audacity to tell me I should call them now and see! Mind you, I hired them so no one would stress about parking. In this moment, I was pissed and "Muhammad" told me he doesn't answer to me. I said Your being paid to so right now you do. His response, no one's paid me. I said and who's paying you? His response: Ashlee - I AM ASHLEE I YELLED! Where's Mike I asked, and that's when he told me he was Mike. I was floored I was furious. The FIRST thing I tried to do when I arrived was pay them and this man lied saying he didn't know where Mike was... but HE WAS MIKE! At that moment I didn't want to deal with them. How shady - first this guy tells me I don't need to rent the Newport Dunes lot, then he says I need to pay extra for a shuttle, and then he lies about who he is!! It doesn't end there, before I left I finally approached him to pay. The agreed invoice was $630. When I asked what payment method he said anything. I was about to Venmo him $630 and he said no it's more because the shuttle... he calculated $840 - I laid everything above out for him and he kept pushing. I begrudgingly paid $700 and decided I will instead write an honest review for this shady company so no one else ever has to deal with this stress. Mike was clearly disappointed that I didn't pay him the $840 - he figured the money I saved from the dunes should go in his pocket. SCAMMER! You should NEVER pay to be inconvenienced and when a company messes up, they should eat the cost of making things right. So Mike, enjoy that extra $70 - it will likely be the last payment your company makes.

    This company is pure class!! Amazing guys, beyond professional.

Katie your venue is beautiful and you have been very kind to us but there are some things that need a huge improvement the venues temperature and the AC units that are in there do nothing for large parties and the power in the venue does not stay on and my guest had to find the breaker box to turn it on every couple of minutes because it kept shutting off the power during dinner and right before I walked down the aisle they had to switch it back on so we were able to hear our pastor during the ceremony. These details really need to be told to people that are trying to rent the venue not only did my guest go out and buy fans just to try and make it bearable the staff called their families to bring fans just to try and help my guest. This was the biggest day of mine and my husbands life and we were so worried about our guest and the heat. I planned for a year for this day and the heat and the power staying was a huge problem!!!

Our server Peter was so kind and friendly and made our whole experience by making sure we were comfortable by bringing us a heater, water and anything else we needed. Fries were crispy and delicious and i appreciate the various dipping sauces - ranch, garlic aioli, & ketchup. The pizza was wood fired and the crust was so wonderfully charred and fluffy at the same time. The tiramisu was just perfect, but please note that they have a seasonal menu so they will rotate these items out. Will definitely be back before this dessert is gone!

This restaurant is located in a business plaza. We sat inside but outside it looked cozier and nicer. It was interesting because there weren't a lot of people and it was very quiet. They were playing house music and other remixes, but the ambience still felt a little weird because everyone around us was not talking to each other lol. Service was just okay. Our waiter did a great job explaining the menu to us, but we originally wanted to get the New York strip but they were sold out, so we ended up getting the Wagyu Zabuton instead. It took about 30 minutes for our food to come out, and everything we ordered came out at once. Felt like forever tho because we were hungry, and our waiter didn't seem to be around much to give us updates. For the food: -Wagyu Zabuton:This was good and was the closest alternative to the New York strip we originally wanted. They use a wood-fired grill, so the meat had a nice smoky flavor. -Brussel sprouts I think this was actually my favorite thing we ordered. They were really crispy and I liked all the garnishes. -Rigatoni: Also good! The sausage had a spicy kick, but I'm not sure if I would order it again. Overall, I'm not sure if I would come back. was also disappointed that they didn't have what we originally came for. Also the vibe was interesting. Maybe I'll have better luck next time! Also, make sure you validate parking. :)

SMH so here goes. Located in industrial area and within a business complex near Dland, plenty of parking including valet. Upon entry the vibe is modern man cave woodsy chalet with leather furniture and animal skin backs. Service is usually solid (some staff better than others) but the main show is the menu. They have unique offerings that is not easily available at other establishments such as the country fried quail appetizer. Trust me, this one is a MUST! We've converted non-believers into those that finish the last bite refusing to share this dish. Their steak offerings no matter what cut you get will almost always be cooked the way you requested and the flavors are definitely high end steakhouse. Prime rib is hands down better than Lawry's, no questions! For dessert, there is an off menu item which most gate keep but I'm going to share it: popcorn ice cream! Don't judge just try! Tip: please make sure to check their website for their strictly enforced dress code. CA casual can get one denied.

We asked if I could open them first and he said yes and left us alone for a few minutes. I understand they don't want clutter around the tables but near the end of the meal they brought our to go food in bags that were three times the size of my gift bags and put those on the floor. Our waiter was very nice and helpful but service was so slow! And the service people did not know how to properly set a table. I know that is a first world problem but if you present yourself as a high end restaurant the water glasses should be placed on the right hand side and when you replace soiled silverware the knife goes on the right, the fork on the left. The prime rib is amazing. As are the sides we ordered. It was a nice evening except for the "check your birthday gifts" and water glasses placed out of reach. That just was a weird vibe.

Around 3:00 AM, I discovered that the air conditioning in our room was not working. The room was hot, uncomfortable, and completely unsuitable for rest. Given the situation, we went to the front desk to request a room change. Instead of helping, the staff member on duty immediately became rude and confrontational. I calmly explained that she was extremely tired and asked if we could move our belongings in the morning (before 8 AM) rather than in the middle of the night. That's when things escalated. He responded loudly: "You are not supposed to do this. You cannot keep two rooms. That's not how this works." His tone was aggressive and completely unnecessary. I politely asked him to lower his voice, but instead he became even more agitated. He started yelling in the lobby, saying things like, "How could you do this to me? It's only me working today--why would you bring this up right now?" At that point, it felt like he was taking his frustration out on us for simply reporting a problem. As the situation continued to escalate, I told him he needed to control himself and questioned why he was escalating things so far. In response, he said he would call the police to remove us. Let that sink in--paying guests, in the middle of the night, dealing with a broken AC, being yelled at in the lobby and threatened with police involvement. The entire interaction was uncomfortable, unprofessional, and honestly shocking. I was exhausted, overheated, and just asking for a reasonable solution. Instead, I met with hostility and public confrontation. Basic service recovery, respect, and professionalism were completely missing here. Instead of being able to rest, we found ourselves awake at 3:38 AM writing this review. What should have been a simple service request turned into an unnecessarily stressful and disruptive experience due to the staff member's unnecessary dramatic attitude in handling the situation.

On my most recent visit, my wife and I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon at about 1:30 p.m. (as the lunch rush was coming to an end.) We could see that most of the tables on the outdoor patio were occupied, but we could also see a couple of tables that were available. When we told the hostess that we'd like to eat lunch on the patio, she replied that they were not currently accepting walk-ins to sit on the patio, but would we'd like to sit inside. It seemed a bit strange, but being a beautiful day, we didn't want to sit inside, so we declined and headed out the door to find some place else to enjoy lunch. As we were unlocking our bikes, a young woman who looked like a manager came out and got our attention and introduced herself as Brittany. She said that there was a short wait for an outside table, maybe 5 minutes or so for them to clean it up and get it reset. She said that they did indeed have a couple of reservations outside, but that tables were also opening up. We went back in, waited a couple of minutes, and then sat down for a lovely lunch I think that the hostess was probably just a little confused and used verbage that was slightly incorrect, but we're so thankful that Brittany recognized the situation and came out after us! I had the Seafood Louie Salad (As I almost always do when I come here) and my wife had the Fish and Chips. They were both delightful, as usual. Also, this place has the best sourdough bread anywhere!

I have to say, the espresso martini was the absolute worst I've ever had in my life--I order them often and this one was so bitter and very difficult to drink. I ordered a shot of Bailey's to balance it out a little, but would recommend steering clear of this one. My cousins ordered the coconut margarita which was also not good--very sour. Our table shared the calamari which was pretty good but a very small portion, so if you have more than two people sharing it, order more. Entrees ranging from fish to chicken to salads were okay, but I think beyond enjoying their deck, I wouldn't come back here. Or I'd at least order differently next time.
