    SPINACH + ARTICHOKE EGGROLLS
    Emma P.

    located in the heart of the orange circle, this american restaurant/bar has a spacious and lively atmosphere that reminded me of a brewery. i was pleasantly surprised by the food and would recommend for a casual get together. Spinach and Artichoke Eggrolls these unique egg rolls were served piping hot. the crunchy, crispy outer shell paired perfectly with the ooey gooey spinach and artichoke inside. the egg rolls themselves were pretty neutral in flavor, but the red pepper crème that it was served with was the perfect accompanying kick that it needed. Crispy Fried Chicken Salad i never really order a salad when i'm out, but on this day i was craving some greens. i got the dressing on the side, and i liked that this salad had a great balance of textures with the crunchy chicken, chewy bacon, and crisp lettuce.

    Overall, this spot is a 3.5/5. Great atmosphere, lively dining area, great bar scene, TVs for sports, and friendly community vibe. The burger big, good, but just an average burger and nothing really special. Beef dip sandwich was really a cheesesteak, had great flavor and sharp cheese which made its super delicious. The bun was a bit dry and too much bread to meat ratio. Great service, we enjoy our server, she was friendly and attentive.

    The Happy Hour short rib grilled cheese and the Korean slaw chicken sliders.

    This place is a deal during Happy Hour. It's not as noisy (though the music level is always a solid medium) and you get quick service from very good, helpful servers. I thought the Korean chicken sliders and the short-rib grilled cheese were both excellent (tho should have been served hotter) but let me tell you: The Korean chicken is seriously spicy (the server did warn me) so if you like spice, it's a great combo with the slightly sweet bun against the kimchi slaw. The short-rib grilled cheese is pure comfort food. The place is some kind of converted warehouse / packing house so you have an industrial environment but it's comfortable seating with high ceilings. Parking: You'll want to have ParkMobile pre-installed and there is plenty of parking in and around the town center but you might have to walk a couple of blocks.

    First time dining here and loved the food, service, and ambiance. The front outdoor dining area is converted from the original gas station and drive through market. The corner covered location has wide open windows, with a beautiful breeze. Our server has worked here for 2 years and shared the origin of the name Bosscat came from a former worker who affectionately called the owner Miss Bosscat so when they ventured to open a new restaurant he insisted it only made sense to name it Bosscat after her. I had the Avocado Farm Chop salad with salmon and it was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    My date is new to the OC area. Made reservations for brunch at a nearby restaurant. That didn't go well. He noticed this cute spot and we decided to check it out. We were seated upon arrival. Food was great and the drinks even better! We ordered the Prime Rib Phillip and the Chicken Bacon Wrap. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. Definitely our new Lunch Date spot at the orange circle.‍‍‍

    We made reservations but arrived early and were immediately seated. Service was on the slow side but our server was very friendly. I ordered the JT's Power Bowl (4/5). The steak was cooked perfectly (medium) and the veggies were fresh. The sauce it came with was too sweet for me. I also tried their Beignets (3/5). It was more like a dense donut but the lemon curd it came with was really good.

    Chilaquiles

    Bosscat is absolutely DELICIOUS. Their brunch menu is all under $20 (totally unheard of no-a-days). Their Beignets are incredible, and I am now a huge fan of chilaquiles. Not pictured but also worth it: the blueberry brunch item & the cinnamon roll. Owners and staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and gave plenty of recommendations. Perfect place to celebrate, chat with your loved ones, and enjoy a delicious brunch. Lots of seating (indoor and outdoor). I am looking forward to coming back and trying the non-brunch as well ... after I have the brunch 4 more times!

    Blood Orange Paloma
    Yvette S.

    I went to Bosscat Kitchen & Libations years ago, and I think some of the menu items have changed since then. I still love the decor, there are a lot of unique and interesting items throughout the restaurant. I decided to have a cocktail with dinner since we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. I ordered the Blood Orange Paloma and my husband had a tequila soda. Given the libations name, I expected the cocktails would be especially delicious and creative, but I was disappointed in both the taste and presentation. My drink tasted more like a regular paloma, and I didn't pick up a blood orange taste. It was topped with a fresh lime, and I think the grapefruit soda overpowered the drink. They also had two tequila blanco options: lalo and espolon. Our favorite item for the night was the burger smashies appetizer. They are three mini smash burgers, with pickles on the side, and they provide mustard and ketchup when you ask. I had the spicy rigatoni and my husband ordered the pan seared salmon. I thought my pasta was good and I liked the ricotta. My husband liked his salmon and he said the greens on the side were delicious. The charred lemon also gave the salmon a nice flavor. Service felt a little mixed during our visit. There were a couple of moments where the waitress came across as a bit sarcastic, though I'm not totally sure if I was reading it right. I think she may have overheard me mention to my husband that I didn't love my drink. When she came to check on it, I said it was fine. I don't really send drinks back, especially if that is how they make their blood orange paloma. I don't like wasting it or expecting something different. After that, the interaction felt a little off. At the end of the meal, it also took a while to get our check. She cleared our plates and it was probably about 15 minutes before she came back to take our card.

    Artichoke spring rolls
    Jose H.

    Haven't been here in a while. Carme here with the team for a birthday. Staff is really friendly and attentive. See 34a came by to check constantly and the food came out pretty quick. Very large portions. Unfortunately the menu change again and it's limited. Not sure if the menu is more extensive at night. The highlight was the artichoke spring rolls. Otherwise we were all disappointed with our choices, well except for the birthday boy who enjoyed his burger and chips. As a matter of fact, he had dinner here the night before and had the burger as well. The staff even brought out a little birthday treat, it was actually tasty.

    The Ham-azing Croissant
    Kelly M.

    We stopped by for Brunch. The restaurant was not busy so we were seated quickly. Our waiter was very nice. I love the decor in here. They were also playing the Champions League Finals on the TVs which was good. I assume they'll play the World Cup games too. We ordered the Gravy Train and the Ham-azing Croissant. Just a warning, the Ham-azing Croissant is HUGE! This is a definitely a dish meant for sharing. They asked if we wanted them to pour the sauce over the croissant or leave it on the side to dip in. We decided to leave it on the side to be dipped. This croissant sandwich was very dense and filling and the cheese sauce was very rich. I been on the hunt to find the best biscuits and gravy in OC. The ones here were ok. I liked the idea of getting these with fried chicken but unfortunately the fried chicken was quite dry and stringy. The biscuits themselves were buttery and the gravy sauce was very savory and had onion chunks. But the dry chicken made the entire dish very hard to eat. Overall this was a decent brunch, mostly since we spent under $40 for so much food so it was a decent deal.

    Costal White Fish
    Sarah T.

    Bosscat is a must try spot when visiting the Orange Circle. The service was amazing and the menu is so well rounded, there's definitely something for everyone. For the appetizer we got the maple butter brussels sprouts. They were a tad bit sweet for me still really great. We got a variety of mains to share: coastal white fish, pan seared salmon, 12 hour beef short rib, and bosscat burger. Each dish was spot on but salmon and short rib were the for sure stand outs for me. The salmon was perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside. The short rib was melt in your mouth perfection.

    MJ H.

    Great location, decor and ambiance. Went for a private event so the food was served buffet-style. Everything was really good, especially the Brussels sprouts which were easily some of the best I've had. And the craft cocktails were spot on. Overall, a great experience with excellent food, cocktails, and service. Looking forward to coming back to try their brunch and whiskey room.

    The service was just spectacular, the staff was amazing. We got the chance to meet the owner, came to our table to check and was so welcoming. The food was just fantastic, had the pork belle appetizer which was amazing with a kimchi slaw. For the main course tried the fried chicken sandwich, with french fries. Now let me tell you about these thick cut double fried goodness. They are the best fries ever. Absolutely fantastic. For the desert we tried the fried apple pie. It's like a churro meats a warm apple pie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Amazing!!! The ambiance is just perfect, the restaurant has inside and patio sitting. The decor is so unique and feel like you take a step back in time with a modern twist

    Hello. Kids are always allowed. We do have some kid friendly options on our dinner and brunch menus.

    Can you accommodate a group of 20 for dinner?

    Hello, Unfortunately or orange location can not accommodate a party that size. Our Newport location is better equipped for parties this size. You can contact… 

    Do they have bottomless mimosas?

    I believe they do on Sundays.

    Do you have patio seating? I have made a 12 noon reservation for lunch and would like to sit on the patio so I can bring my puppy. Thank you?…

    Hi! So we parked at the structure and walk to Bosscat. It wasn't a far walk. Parking wasn't an issue for us. It was on a week day around 2:00pm.

    Will this location take part in the industry night like your Irvine location?

    Not to start off. Industry night is going to be revisited and changed in both locations. As of now either location does not do industry night. We should have a new offering available by this summer

They're easily one of my favorite menu items and one of the reasons I keep coming back. They also have a happy hour from 3-5 p.m. My only suggestion would be to extend it until 6 p.m. I work nearby, and with happy hour ending at 5, it's almost impossible to make it after work. I think a later happy hour would be a huge plus for people getting off work in the area. Overall, another great visit. Good drinks, consistently good service, a clean and laid-back atmosphere, and those amazing nachos keep me coming back.

My son called Culinary Dropout and spoke with Olivia, the hostess, to see if the kitchen was still serving. Olivia responded with genuine warmth and kindness, assuring us that the kitchen was still open and that they would be happy to welcome us. From the moment we arrived, Olivia's hospitality set the tone for an exceptional evening. She greeted us with a warm smile, made us feel genuinely welcome, and promptly seated us. Shortly after, our server, Layla, introduced herself. Despite the late hour, she was energetic, engaging, and had an infectious enthusiasm that elevated the entire dining experience. She expertly recommended several cocktails, along with a glass of wine, and her knowledge of both the bar program and the menu was impressive. Her recommendations for appetizers and entrées were spot on. We decided on the Wagyu Pigs in a Blanket, BBQ Nachos, and the Spicy Rigatoni. Every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. Another team member, Emanuel, delivered one of our dishes and was equally personable and engaging. He took the time to share information about the restaurant, further demonstrating the outstanding level of hospitality displayed by the entire team. Manager Dave also stopped by our table to check on our experience. We shared with him that this was, without question, one of the best dining experiences we've had in Orange County in quite some time. Great food certainly matters, but it was the exceptional service, genuine hospitality, and positive energy of the staff that made the evening truly memorable.

I'm currently 8 months pregnant, and I had my baby shower at Benchmark on July 25, 2026. This is my first baby, and my best friend and sister spent countless hours planning the shower. They invested so much time, effort, and money to make it a special day, and we were all incredibly excited. When we arrived, the event space was extremely hot. We were informed that the air conditioning had broken the night before and were given a few fans to help. I was surprised that no one had contacted us ahead of time, especially since it was 95 degrees outside. At the very least, I expected someone to discuss alternative options or move us to another area, but that never happened. As guests began arriving, the heat only became worse. Our shower was from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and by the end, everyone was sweating and fanning themselves. It was incredibly uncomfortable and definitely put a damper on what was supposed to be such a memorable day. Another issue was that servers were constantly walking through our private event space because the restaurant's freezer was located in the back. Throughout the entire shower, staff were repeatedly coming in and out. This was never disclosed to us when we booked the event. Even with all of that, I tried to be understanding. Equipment fails, and I know unexpected situations happen. I expected that a manager would come speak with us, apologize, and try to make things right. Unfortunately, that never happened. Instead, we were given only $150 off a $2,600 bill. The food itself was delicious, but because of the extreme heat, we couldn't comfortably enjoy it or safely take leftovers home. It felt like we were sitting in an oven. After the event, my best friend contacted the manager, Pedro. It took about a week for him to respond. He acknowledged that they should have informed us about the staff traffic through our event space and admitted that he should have personally apologized for the air conditioning issue. He offered us a gift card, but we requested reimbursement of the $400 room fee instead. Since they had already deducted $150 from the bill, we asked for an additional $250, which seemed like a reasonable compromise considering the circumstances. His response was that they still had to pay the servers and cover the cost of the table linens. That explanation was extremely disappointing. We were also required to pay a 22% service charge for servers who, understandably, weren't present much because the room was so unbearably hot. This experience turned what should have been one of the happiest days of my pregnancy into a stressful and disappointing memory. While I understand that mechanical issues happen, it's how a business responds that truly matters. Unfortunately, the lack of communication before the event, the absence of management during the party, and the unwillingness to provide what we felt was a fair resolution left us feeling undervalued as customers. I hope management takes this feedback seriously so future guests don't have a similar experience.

I was seated right away, there weren't too many people. The lady who sat me and took my order just didn't seem very pleasant. She didn't smile, honestly she looks like she hates her job. I'm a people person, and so seeing servers like that is such a let down in any establishment. Especially when I use to work at a restaurant myself. She took my order and what I ordered was one of the more expensive parts of the menu. Now I came in very casual, and I tend to look younger than my age. So I felt that maybe she didn't trust me thinking I'd dine and dash based on how I look or it's all in my head. However I did see her demeanor change a bit for an elderly couple. When I feel like that I tend to not want to stay longer. The steak and broccolini were delicious. There were these sliced potatoes layered then sliced in rectangle shapes and fried. I have no clue what it was, but it was all really good. The cornbread was delicious too! That butter was sweet, but it had a flavor I couldn't quite pinpoint. It went really well with the cornbread. The food was excellent. I ate fairly quickly because I already felt kind of weird from feeling like I don't belong and asked someone for my check and box. The gentlemen who did help me was incredibly warm, which I appreciate. I wish I got his name. He made this dinner a bit more pleasant. Then after the dinner was over I left so quickly I forgot my phone and the host that night was also very sweet. Despite that one lady server, the food, male server and female host made it a lot better.

    What a perfect place for girls who lunch! Or was a warm day so we sat outside to enjoy the views…read moreand weather. The service was a little slow at first because of some miscommunication but once we had our waiter everything was fast and friendly. The food was so good! We had their Salmon with Salmon and Rib Eye plate, both cooked perfectly. We also started with perfect Lemon Drops and once we got dessert, Cream Brûlée, we got Espresso Martinis. I can't wait to go again!

    Whenever I'm in Orange, I walk past this restaurant. Once, on a Saturday, when I was thinking about…read moretrying this place out, the hostess asked if I had a reservation. Reservation? No. No meant no table. She told me it would be a couple hour wait when I could see there were tables available. I made a reservation this Sunday. Unfortunately, buffet brunch only. I could see the chafing dishes from outside, but decided to dine here anyway. There was a family sitting outside on the patio, but since it was warm outside, when the hostess asked inside or outside, I said inside. The waitress told me about the $59/person Sunday brunch. No espresso drinks, but it includes bottomless mimosas. Champaign with orange, pineapple, cranberry juice, or all three. Yes, all three please. Eggs are custom made orders by request. The brunch buffet had great options. It included, pancakes, waffles, French toast, crepes, pasta, potatoes, cod, chicken, meats, salads, pizza, fruit, yogurt, various breads, crème brûlée, and mini chocolates. My mimosa was perfect, since I poured my side juices in myself. The food all tasted great. My complaint is the eggs. I ordered two fried eggs. I had to remind her of the order because I believe the kitchen forgot my eggs. She made an excuse that they were busy. I don't think so, since I could see the three of them from my table. When I received them, they were hot and fresh, but the worst fried egg I've ever had. Ugly and runny. A fried egg should be the easiest thing to prepare. Disappointing. The entire time I was here, there were at most five parties. One was a large group celebrating a birthday. Not crowded on Sundays. No reservation required. I only had two separate plates of food and a plate of desserts. Unless you eat or drink a lot, the price of the buffet brunch is not worth it. In summary, service was good. My champagne glass was never empty. Excluding the eggs, all the food tasted great. I like the overall look of the restaurant. The Sunday buffet brunch is not my first choice.

The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, though the indoor dining area is on the smaller side. The bar area is even more intimate, with only a few two-person tables and has a much darker, moodier atmosphere compared to the bright feel of the main dining room. I tried the Blueberry Scone ($5), Bacon Onion White Pizza ($20), and Truffle Mushroom Burger ($25). Unfortunately, the scone was the biggest disappointment as it was quite dry and I wasn't a fan of the walnuts. The pizza and burger, however, were both solid choices but nothing that stood out. My favorite part of the meal was actually the shoestring fries, which were perfectly crispy and well-seasoned. Service was just okay. After taking our order, our server never came back to check on us, refill our water glasses, or see if we needed anything else. One thoughtful touch was having sinks located outside the restrooms for anyone who just wanted to wash their hands. That said, the restroom layout felt a bit awkward. The doors were difficult to maneuver, especially with the toilets located immediately inside, and the toilets themselves were noticeably low. Parking can be challenging on weekends, particularly during the breakfast and lunch rush. Most of the nearby street parking is metered and while we only paid about $3.40 for two hours, finding an available spot might take a bit of patience.

We both drank the Tempranillo, great wine! Bread + Ham Butter - aight, tastes sort of like chive creamcheese.

Basque Cheesecake - Light and fluffy, delicious. We loved the food and the ambiance, service was friendly, great spot. We will come back to try some more dishes, the Steak Tartare was looking good.

Our server, Lee, was amazingly friendly and helpful throughout the night. - Salmon Cortada (Must get): Absolute favorite dish. It comes with two pieces featuring glistening, incredibly soft salmon over bread with subtle hints of sweetness and lemon. A remarkably complex and delicious bite. - Octopus (Second Favorite): Layered over a bright green sauce with a touch of chili. Perfectly cooked, super tender, and packed with flavor. - Anchovies: A fresh, oily, and satisfying appetizer to start the meal. - Braised Mushroom: Cool presentation with a poached egg in the center. Very tasty, though a fairly familiar flavor profile. - Elote: Tasted a bit more like a basic corn salsa than classic elote. Not my favorite. - Bread & Ham Butter: Sounded interesting. Personally wouldn't order this again, as I prefer a light whipped butter on rich, buttery bread over sourdough. - Basque Cheesecake: A solid dessert to end on. Tasty, not overly sweet, and the cheese flavor wasn't too overpowering. Parking in the back is quite tight with only about 5-6 spaces. There is also some street parking too.

    Located inside Fera Anaheim, a DoubleTree by Hilton, this bar/lounge was honestly one of the main…read morereasons we decided to book our stay there. The space is BEAUTIFUL, both during the day and at night. When we checked in on Friday evening they even had live music, but unfortunately I was feeling a little sick so I skipped it and told myself I'd redeem the experience the next day before heading to Disneyland. And I'm glad I did. In the daytime, the patio area is gorgeous--you can really appreciate the firepit seating and the little lake with koi fish outside. Such a relaxing vibe. We came by around 4PM to pregame before Disney and the bar was pretty busy. Huge shoutout to Arvey, the bartender who took care of us during our visit. Not only was the service exceptional, but he genuinely made some of the best cocktails we've had in a while. Sitting at the bar and watching him make the drinks was honestly part of the experience itself. At first we were trying to customize and tweak our drinks because we usually stay in our comfort zone, but after talking with him and learning more about the ingredients in The Peel's specialty cocktails, we decided to trust the process a little more. We ordered the Dragonfly and Playing With Fire, and both were amazing--beautiful presentation, really balanced flavors, sweet and sour in the best way. We're usually not big foam cocktail people either, but this visit might've changed our minds a little. Also, Playing With Fire came with a fun little presentation moment which made it even better. Honestly, I was really impressed with my experience here. I even came back for another drink at breakfast before checking out of the hotel lol. The dining area also looked beautiful and the food coming out to other tables looked really good too. Definitely looking forward to coming back anytime I'm around the Anaheim area again.

It's a beautiful location with lots of windows and a nice outside view. As for the food, it's hotel food I feel like. May be good but over priced. It wasn't my pick so I came for the company. We sat in the back area which can accommodate large groups. Our server was good. They don't have lattes or speciality coffee drinks but you can get it from the coffee bar in the lobby and bring it in. I didn't get end up getting anything from here. My friends who got food said it was good. I just couldn't justify paying $22 for breakfast food. i guess if you are staying at the hotel, it would be good to try. However I don't need to come back.

The meats are the real star and the dishes built around them actually complement everything instead of just being a vehicle for brisket. Their brunch menu is fantastic and don't sleep on the sandwiches. The potatoes are killer, too! Also, the portions are generous, which almost never happens at this quality level. Most importantly, the flavor doesn't take a hit either. Quick bit of context for anyone considering this spot: Le Hut Dinette comes from the team behind Heritage Barbecue, so the meat pedigree is real. The chef, Ryan Garlitos, also has a Michelin Plate Award under his belt from his own restaurant. This isn't just good barbecue slapped onto a diner menu. It's someone who genuinely knows what he's doing running the whole show. Only real drawback is parking in the area. It's rough. Pro tip: go on Sundays when the bread spot next door is closed. You'll actually have a shot at a spot.

I started with the blue bread, which I loved, but the credit to which I owe to 6100 Bread. My other favorite dish was the bread pudding for dessert, which was also 6100 Bread! I got a couple of dishes to share, and they were good, definitely heavy and slathered in gravy. I do think for the portions that the dishes are worth the money, but damn these plates are loaded with thick, fatty pieces of meat. One of the dishes did come with a slaw, but I don't think it was enough to cut through the richness. Maybe it's just not for me! I tend not to like such indulgent meals, but I think this would be a great spot for meat lovers. The inside is beautiful for date night, with retro diner decor with refined touches to fit the menu. The wine selection is large, and it's a quiet space with a nice ambience. I hope to come back to try their brunch and give them a second try!
