    Great selection of cocktails! I'd recommend the set of 3. They are like nothing I've ever seen or tasted before! The service was nice and it's a cozy and moody atmosphere which was unique. If you're in the mood for a cocktail and you're at/near the Disneyland Resort, check out Broken Spell Lounge!

    Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: n/a Drinks: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: n/a Food and Parking are not rated because we did not eat anything this visit, and we walked over. Chanel was our bartender. She was wonderful! She had great recommendations and solid service.

    Well...this was one of a few place that I bookmarked as they had highlighted the benevelont faerie. With the Sleeping beauty characters being one of my childhood favorite characters this was my input (of a few) during our girls trip. It reminded me of the forest the environment is lit up like the forest scene. We thought it would be cute if the waitresses were dressed like fairies or if they had a character come out or even some live music. When I ordered the drink I was told they pulled that from the menu as it is premade and they would be closing the bar for the season. It definitely was listed on the menu though (no indication of it not being served). My family member ordered a club soda separate from Vodka and I know the way it was served was not correct,where the club soda was maybe half of a glass. We ordered fries which were tasty Just kind of a bummer experience, staying at the Disneyland hotel and wanting nothing but good experiences overall.

    We recently stayed at the Disneyland hotel and I had been wanting to try out this lounge. We do have kids ages 5 and 7. I wasn't sure how it would be with them, but our server was great and there were several other families with young kids there when we were. We did show up right when it opened and had no wait getting in. I had the risotto and my husband had the seasonal pizza with broccolini and prosciutto. He loved his pizza and mine was also delicious and huge! We could've easily split it. My kids split the turkey sandwich and enjoyed it as they do not have a kids menu here. Check this place out for sure!

    We came to Disneyland to enjoy a day in both parks. But we arrived the night before and celebrated my birthday at the Disneyland Hotel's Broken Spell Lounge. My family's experiences in community theater include SLEEPING BEAUTY on our resumes. "Make it pink. Make it blue." Although this quote shows up on the drinks menu, we all chose the Raven's Wing cocktail. SMOKY! Staff member, David, performed his magic by covering the cocktails and lighting them to bring on the effect. Wow!! Sam, our waiter extraordinaire, brought our menu choices: Southwest Chicken Salad, Broken Spell Cheeseburger and Steak Frites. Then she surprised me with a birthday cheesecake. We couldn't stop smiling all night!

    We recently visited the Broken Spell Lounge as the first stop on our Disney bar crawl. The atmosphere was classy and lowkey. The menu features drinks themed after Sleeping Beauty. There were not many people there even on a Friday night, so we were able to walk right in and grab a table. Our server, David D, took amazing care of us. We were in a bit of a time crunch because our table at Trader Sam's was ready a lot sooner than we had expected. David took our order, gave us our drinks, and rang us up very quickly. In total, we probably spent only around 15 minutes there, and David made the process seamless for us. Although we only had a few minutes to enjoy our drinks, each concoction was distinct enough to leave an impression after the quick round of sips we had before we had to chug our drinks. I will rapidly fire my thoughts as rapidly as we passed the glasses amongst each other. The Benevolent Faerie is a flight of three potions, crafted in the likeness of the fairies Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. My favorite was the green drink. On the nose, it was minty and refreshing. On the palate, a sweet, creamy matcha. The red one was decent. Sweet and tangy. I thought the blue one tasted like cough syrup and did not finish it.  The Make It Blue, Make It Pink, is a nod to Princess Aurora's color changing dress, and you can probably guess exactly what this drink does and what ingredients are included. That's right - Empress Gin and lemon juice. A small note I'd like to make is that anyone who orders this drink is more than likely doing it for the show - so a little warning before you pour the lemon juice for us to get our cameras would be nice. As you can see in the video, the drink was already a bit pink because we asked the runner to stop the pour (this is not about you David, don't worry). The Black Thorn Bramble would probably be the most universally palatable drink out of everything we ordered. You can't really go wrong with a fruity drink with a vodka base. Sweet and refreshing. But my favorite drink is probably the most polarizing of the bunch - the Raven's Wing. You get a little smoke and fire show at the start, and the smokey flavor is infused into your drink. The smoke hits you first and is followed by the sweet and tangy flavors of pineapple and prickly pear. I thought it was interesting and delicious.  I would definitely come back to the Broken Spell Lounge and hopefully be able to actually lounge next time. I was a bit irritated because our table at Trader Sam's wasn't even ready for us when we showed up and then our Trader Sam's server didn't even greet us for a long time after we were seated. We could've taken our time to enjoy the Broken Spell Lounge during the time that Trader Sam's wasted.

    I've been to Broken Spell Lounge twice now, and both times were fabulous! The first was on Super Bowl Sunday so it was a bit more loud and lively than I think it is normally -- they had a tv set up to watch the game, which was fun to do alongside our Sleeping Beauty-themed cocktails. The second time was on a normal night and the ambiance was quieter and more demure, more of a speakeasy feel. I loved both! As far as the drinks go, they are SUPER fun and imaginative! I've had the Make It Blue, Make It Pink (which changes color like Aurora's dress!), the Benevolent Faerie (a trio of red, blue, and green drinks inspired by the Sleeping Beauty fairies), and the Raven's Wing (a sweet meets smoky cocktail which is lit on fire at the table). All are absolutely delicious in different ways, but the Raven's Wing is my favorite. The fairy trio is definitely on the sweeter side, but the presentation is just ooooh, chef's kiss. (Or fairy's kiss, as the case may be.) It's beautiful inside -- not too big, not too small, but just right. (I know that's Goldilocks and not Sleeping Beauty, but it's true.) You feel like you're stepping inside a magical forest! Lots of deep greens, cutouts and paintings of trees, and touches of sparkle. The service is also impeccable! Everyone working here is so kind and helpful, and they really want to ensure that your experience is top notch. On my most recent visit, we were taken care of by Sam, Rich, and David, and they were all fantastic. They even brought out a surprise dessert to celebrate my mom's birthday! This is such a special gem at Disneyland. If you're looking for a fantastic cocktail bar, this one is not to be missed!

    I had such a good time here. The ambiance is nice. It's so dark it's hard to see the menu though. But you can take the table light and hold it up to your menu. My server was the sweetest person and the other stuff were very kind. I love my mixed drinks. Very well done. The Raven's Wing, you would'nt know it's alcohol and could get you in trouble if you have a bunch. My pizza was a speciality one with broccolini and sliced parm ham. It was different so I went for it. And I tell you I would have this over and over again. The molten chocolate cake is okay, but I'm a chocolate snob so it was just okay for me. But someone else might love it. I would love to eat here again. It's quiet, out of the way and service is great!

    Nice place to dine at after visiting the park. The wait time for walk up was not so bad. The food and drinks were excellent. The ambiance was lightly lit and was nice. The server was very tentative. Great experience overall.

    I've been to Broken Spell a few times, mostly for drinks, but I recently had dinner here and was impressed! Broken Spell is located where Lobby Lounge (and previously Steakhouse 55) was in the Disneyland Hotel. This is definitely a classic lounge vibe with cozy lighting, low tables, soft chairs, and some bar seating. The aesthetic and details make you feel transported to a fairytale forest lounge. They have live music daily, which is a nice touch as you enjoy their offerings. The service is attentive and friendly (no surprise given the excellent service that you would expect at a Disney Resort). This place is still a bit of a hidden gem; during most of my experiences I was able to walk up and be seated instantly. However I recently stopped by during the holidays and wait times were up to 30-40 minutes for two people, and it was busy all evening. A quick breakdown of the items I've tried: - Make it Blue, Make it Pink (Empress Butterfly Gin, Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, Lemon Juice): Broken Spell's signature drink in my opinion. My first visit to Broken Spell was specifically to get this drink and I was not disappointed. I'm a big gin fan, and this is a tart and delicious cocktail--and the color changing effect really makes it a fun one. A must order! - Black Thorn Bramble (Tito's Handmade Vodka, Chambord Raspberry Liqueur, Cinnamon, Lemon Juice, garnished with Basil, Mint, Blackberries): The bramble is refreshing and fruity, and the mint helps give it a nice finish. I did have one that was very heavy on the blackberry, which tasted good but the texture of my beverage was more of a fruit salad than a tasty cocktail. - Five Golden Rings (Golden Eagle Vodka, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Ginger, Rosemary-Cranberry flavors, Edible Shimmer Glitter): *Holiday Menu only* This was a great beverage to have before and during dinner here. Not overly sweet, and has a lovely presentation. It sounds like this was on their holiday menu previously, so hoping they bring it back again! - Prickly Pear French 75 (Condesa Prickly Pear Gin, Piper Sonoma Brut, St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur, Sage Honey, Lemon Juice): *Holiday Menu only* Another wonderful themed drink for the holidays! The pear flavor was perfect (not syrupy or fake) and the sage honey was a great complement. - Ahi Tuna Tataki (Aji Amarillo Ponzu, Persillade, Crispy Wontons): Wow this one surprised me! The tuna was fresh and high quality, and the ponzu sauce was so yummy I could have had a cupful. A great plate to share between two people, or have all to yourself! - Steak Frites (Grilled Prime Flat Iron Steak, French Fries, Demi-glace): Overall this was tasty, but two small misses for me here: 1) the steak was very small for the price; 2) we were originally told they didn't have the demi-glace sauce-- however after we got our food, we were able to get a side of it and it was pretty disappointing. It tasted like very bland gravy; honestly the melted butter on top was much preferred! Though I would be willing to ask for the sauce again in the hopes it was an off night, since the flavor and doneness of the steak was perfect. The steak comes with their house truffle parmesan fries, which was a lovely addition; they are extra delicious! Like most places sprinkled with pixie dust, the wait and price is worth it for the quality of food, beverages, and overall experience. Definitely stop by Broken Spell and you will not be sorry!

    Ahi Tuna Tataki ($29, made gluten-free by removing the wonton chips)
    Jessica S.

    While sitting at Vista in Downtown Disney, sipping on our espresso martinis, my friend excitedly told me she'd seen something online about a new, secret, cute spot that we just *had* to try. After a bit of searching, she pulled up a screen shot she'd snagged a month ago, where the original poster had proclaimed this spot to be magical, mystical, unknown. Guys, it's literally the old Steakhouse 55 lounge. Did the original poster oversell this spot? Yes, definitely. Was it still a cute place to stop in for a quick second? Sure...if you know what you're getting into. Also, I should mention that when we'd talked about finding this place, what drove us was the mention of mocktails. I had no desire to get another cocktail, but was looking forward to something holiday-inspired and alcohol-free. I was also not hungry, so didn't plan on getting any food. So, of course, we ended up getting a speciality cocktail each and two small plates to share. Of course. The Pepperminit Kiss cocktails were $18 each. They were served in small glasses, but packed a punch. I mean, even the whipped cream was sauced. I took it slow, taking teeny tiny baby sips, thinking that'd help manage the alcohol. But, no...even the tiny sips numbed my face and made my head spin. The plates we ordered - Parmesan Truffle Fries ($18) and the Ahi Tuna Tataki ($29) did very little to help soak up the booze in my system. Also - we actually ordered the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail ($29), but were served the ahi tuna instead. We debated sending it back, but I could tell my friend was happy about the mistake. The fries were crispy and truffle-y, which I enjoyed. The serving was generous, as well. I didn't love that they came with regular ketchup, but I'm not sure what sauce would have worked for a dip in its place. The tuna was okay, but kind of bland...? There were tiny dots of a sauce on the plate, and it came with a small serving of greens, which had more flavor than the tuna itself. They did sprinkle some sea salt over the pieces, which added a nice crunch, but the crispy wontons - removed because of my friend's gluten allergy - were sorely missed. I don't think I'd go back - I do still miss Steakhouse 55 so very much - but it's a nice little spot if you need somewhere to kick back for a minute. I'm surprised that people refer to it as a "secret" when it's literally right next to Goofy's Kitchen, but I guess that's a spin.

    Wild Mushroom Risotto, $24
    Elle C.

    Thanks to a high recommendation from one next to us at the bar top at Oga's Cantina in Disneyland, we discovered this lounge (otherwise, we never would've considered this hotel bar). We were fortunate to land 2 seats at the bar top. Service was friendly and comfortably attentive. My Cheeseburger ($25), served with Fries, was generous in size, flavorful, and the attractive bun was soft and buttery. Hubby thoroughly enjoyed his Wild Mushroom Risotto ($24), rich, creamy, and comfort-food worthy! We found the entrees to be rather reasonable for a hotel resort; the cocktail menu -- especially the whiskeys were (as to be expected) higher priced. Fun atmosphere, good energy, and fabulous find!

    Steak Frites*
    Keisha B.

    Service was great and Cast Members were nice and engaging. Tried the Chili Chocolate Smoked Old Fashion and although it was good I felt Mezcal would have been a better pairing (group next to me mentioned the same thing). I added Mezcal and was really good pairing for the smoky flavors. Ordered Steak Frits and it was okay. I'll be honest I thought was going to similar quantity to Steakhouse 55 but fell a little short. Wishing fries were homemade. Steak was a little too saucy for me and if order again would get on the side. Overall experience is fun seeing all the different drinks people ordered, but my dish was just okay.

    September is SepTiki month at the Blind Rabbit. The interior has been decorated tiki style, and…read morethere is a new specialty cocktail menu with eight new tiki inspired drinks. We visited a few times in recent weeks to try out some of the new drinks. El Quetzal (Illegal Caribbean cask mezcal, yellow Chartreuse, Campari, lime, pineapple, cane, cardamom). This is a variation of a Junglebird, and has a nice smokiness with light bitterness. It's an easy drinker, and is served in a tiki mug with a lit sugar cube. 3 Rabbits & a Dash (Blind Rabbit Garrison Brothers single barrel bourbon, Kuleana Nanea rum, falernum, allspice, honey, orange, lime). It drinks a little boozy from the bourbon, and is complemented by nice spice notes. Let the Man'Go (Patron 100 tequila, bitter Bianca, mango, rice, lemon). I love drinks with a foam top, and even though it didn't say it on the menu, it was obvious after one sip that the foam was infused with toasted rice. Good balanced cocktail with light mango flavor and rice notes. Velvet Samba (guava, cachaca, Patron 100 tequila, lime, condensed milk). Unique milky looking cocktail. It's guava and lime forward, balanced, and has a little creamy mouthfeel from the condensed milk. Clarified Ango-Lada (Blind Rabbit single barrel Sagamore rye, Angostura bitters, coconut, pineapple, lime). It's served with a nutmeg sprinkle on top. The rye is toned way down from clarification, and it's a smooth drinker. The Cocktail of Week I believe was a type of zombie. I forgot to write down the ingredients but I believe some of them were rum, vodka, raspberry, and lemon. It is served in their zombie mug with a lit cinnamon stick and was good. Dreamwave (Empress gin, barrel aged Curacao, sherry lychee, lemon). I think this was my favorite. It has a nice tart flavor, not boozy at all and balanced. I was sitting at the bar where my drink was being made, and when the Li Hing Hui powder was sprinkled on top, it had a really nice sweet, almost vanilla-ish aroma. I asked bartender Adrian to make me a Captain's Reserve (bartenders own creation) using rum as the main spirit. He made an amazing cocktail with rum, scotch, passion fruit, and some other ingredients I forgot to jot down. It was lush and perfectly balanced with multiple layers of flavor. I hope he remembers that recipe, it was one of the best drinks I've ever had. Adrian, Ruben, and Sergio all provided great service and conversation, and they make some excellent drinks. Hosts Anna and Emma always give a warm welcome and were very friendly. There's only a few weeks left of SepTiki, so visit soon if you're interested in these drinks. Their Halloween theme will be starting in early October.

    I think this is on everyone's speakeasy list!…read more Make sure you make a reservation It is very packed. They offer bar seating and booth / table Follow the wall from Randy's donuts and Look for a wall of Japanese sake/beer barrels and head towards the restaurant - the rolling boil. There will be a check in host and stand there and wait (it will be located up against the wall with a big secret door right next to the hostess station) It's very New York inside. When I first came in Spring with the amazing, Karen, the menu and everything was great Now, I took my friend who was in town from Nashville and it was a brand new theme. It's the great Gatsby. Even our waitress, Jasmine was dressed for the occasion. I would say this place is known for Absinthe. They have cocktails featuring it or you can get one of the huge apparatus (huge and glowing green) which, if you are into it? I highly recommend. Just one of the huge apparatus makes one regular drink. Or, what Karen and I did, was split it and make it into a shot for the both of us. The waitress comes out and shows you how it works and goes over everything. Karen, who I came with, was a pro and knew her way around it. She showed me the ropes lol. Honestly, if you are here? When in Rome. Go all out and try it, since it's where they shine here. They took off a few menu items and added some themed drinks. ( a couple new champagne themed drinks) They have big entree items but I suggest small bites and sharing and mostly coming for the drinks. There's no bathroom inside, so you do have to leave the bar and go to the closest one (over behind Randy's donuts) and then enter the speakeasy again Both times coming here I've never had an issue. It's a small, packed place. And yet they still have the cocktails flowing and the food coming out in a good time. So the food and drinks are good Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. Especially for it usually being very busy in here This place is located inside the Anaheim packing district. So I suggest hitting up a couple other spots before or afterwards for some more food or drinks P.S. it is very dark In here. They never cared if we used our light to look at the menu. However, they do not want flash photography They also do not strictly enforce a dress code (my friend from Nashville asked) however, they suggest dressing business casual and not too underdressed

    Story! I decided to…read morego with Story for my wife's and I 1 year anniversary of marriage. My wife is a book worm and seeing how this restaurant is a nice blend of romantic but also fun with the books around the restaurant, the chairs and table to even the glassware my wife even complimented how much she loved the water glasses. We had a reservation at 730 on a Sunday, originally had one at 6pm, but we had to drive to Dana Point to pick up our anniversary cake, it was a smooth reservation change. Also during my reservation, I did call to make sure if they were okay with storing our cake and serving it out to us at the end of dinner, which they happily said yes to. The theme currently is the Great Gatsby, I can see this a fun day or night out for a group of friends. Staff was very friendly! Here is what we ordered: Saw they offered a Japanese Whiskey flight, had to order that! Even if I have tried them before, you can never say no to whiskey. Small little taste of Nikka Coffey Grain, Nikka Coffey Malt, Suntory Tokiese and best for last Hibiki Harmony Chicken Pesto Oven Fried Pizza $20 - Pistachio Pesto, chopped grilled chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, heirloom cherry tomatoes arugula and balsamic glaze | I usually don't care for pesto, but if its pistachio or macadamia I do like that way better. Let me begin with, I had trouble thinking where do I put this, is it a pizza or is it a flat bread? It didn't rise to have its iconic crust on a pizza, so I have been labeling this as a flat bread and because of that I can easily say the best flat bread pizza I have had to date. The dough was baked perfectly, had a nice crunch but also pillowhheee chew. The ingredients on the flat bread, all were fresh, seasoned but most importantly delicious and blended well. At first bite you are able to taste each ingredient as you continue chewing the balsamic comes into play and brings each flavor together. Seriously as mentioned the best I have had so far, I really want one right now just talking about it! Yuzu Lobster Pasta $38 - Butter Poached lobster, cherry tomatoes, yuzu, black garlic butter, jalapeno, basil topped with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese | I told my wife this was most talked about in a lot of reviews, so she went with this. There was a good amount of Lobster pieces, but sadly the yuzu or any kind of citrus was not there. At this time while we were eating our main dishes, sadly we didn't see our server pretty much the whole time. It would have been nice to be able to ask her for either more yuzu or even lemon on the side. Any kind of pasta dish with seafood needs to have that citrus punch. Coming in at the most expensive dish we ordered, it was sadly placed last amongst the three dishes. Braised Short Rib $34 - Red Wine Braised Short Rib, topped with crispy fried onion strings, demi-glace, pomme puree and seasonal vegetables. This was really good, short rib cooked and seasons perfectly, those crispy fried onions, complimented the meat and its flavors perfectly, and also gave it a nice crunch texture. As mentioned before the ingredients all were fresh, I ended up cleaning my plate! As mentioned about during our mains we didn't see our server during that time, she finally showed up when we were all finished, so she ended up coming back with our wedding cake and a candle. She did apologize that she was having a deep and lengthy conversation with another table. We ended up asking if she was allowed to take a piece of our cake which we were glad to share it with her, and she loved it as she does like tiramisu. In conclusion, I will def be back to get that flat bread pizza and try different foods on their menu. The pricing is pretty fair! I do want to try to get to a brunch time here as well as I do see a lot of Filipino inspired brunch items. Very good food, atmosphere, perfect for a date night! Feast Well Fellow Yelpers!

The service was nice and friendly. * Short Rib Benny 5/5 - This was very tasty. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection. The short rib was good. I got the hollandaise sauce on the side since it can be hit and miss at other places. It was really tasty here. The breakfast potatoes were not bad. * Coconut Ube Pancake - My friends got these and they were okay. Kinda dry. Not sure if the waffle version would have tasted better. * Strawberry Thai Basil Mimosa 3/5 - This was the sweetest mimosa under Specialty Mimosas and it tasted pretty average and wasn't very sweet either.

    Strong Water isn't just a place to grab a drink, it is an entire experience from the moment you…read morewalk through the door. We were escorted inside and our hostess immediately started introducing us to the lore of the place: a capsized ship with the space decorated using pieces recovered from the wreckage. The room is VERY dimly lit, and we actually stood near the entrance for a moment while our eyes adjusted, but honestly that just added to the atmosphere. On the way to our reservation in the Captain's Quarters, our hostess gave us a little tour of the main room and even pointed out the bathrooms for later. Once we sat down, we met our bartender, Drew, who was fantastic. He walked us through the different menus, explained the food and cocktails, and really added to the experience throughout the night. I'm normally a whiskey drinker, so I started with the Southeast Spice Trade while my girlfriend ordered the Pineapple Whipped Colada. Both were delicious, but half the fun was watching Drew make them. You could really see the amount of care that went into the craft and presentation of every drink. For food, we ordered the chicken katsu and ahi poke nachos. I was especially excited when the nachos arrived and I realized they were made with wonton chips. I'm a sucker for wonton chips, so those were an immediate win. We obviously couldn't stop at one round of drinks, so next came the Tarobi Colada and Zombie King. Drew told us a little about the history of the Zombie King and gave us a lesson on rum, so I had to try it, plus it came in one of the coolest mugs I've ever seen. The Zombie King was easily my favorite drink of the night. The flavor was fantastic from beginning to end and dangerously smooth. I didn't even realize how much it had hit me until I stood up. Even leaving was part of the experience. We finally checked out the bathroom and the door has what feels like TEN different locks on it. It genuinely felt like I was locking myself inside the bathroom of an old pirate ship. Between the storytelling, incredible atmosphere, Captain's Quarters, food, cocktails, and especially the service from Drew, this was such a memorable night. Strong Water completely commits to its theme without sacrificing the quality of the drinks. Absolutely an experience worth having, and we can't wait to come back.

    We have returned to Strong Water several times in recent months, so it's time for an update. We…read morefirst returned in early June since they introduced some new cocktails and food to the menu. The other visits were just because this is by far our number one place. Recently added cocktails: Buzzin' Jungle Bird (Jamaican gold rum, coffee infused campari, dark rum, pineapple, lime, hemp orgeat, cane, Angostura bitters). This is a great spin on a jungle bird, with some complexity and coffee flavor. I'm usually not a big fan of coffee, but it is at a good level. Chi Chi (Whey vodka, pineapple, lime, date, honey, coconut, salt). This has a great creamy texture which I believe comes from the dairy component of the whey vodka. It is well balanced with some sweetness, and I could taste the coconut and date flavors. Lapu Lapu (Asian rum, Jamaican rum, dry curacao, lime, orgeat, demerara). It is juicy, well balanced, and served with a flaming sugar cube on top. This is the cocktail they chose to serve at their booth at Tiki Oasis recently which says a lot, try it! Thai Me Down (Barbados rum, coconut liqueur, papaya, lemon, demerara, Thai basil). It is served old-fashioned style, and was light and perfectly balanced. Those Thai inspired flavors were all noticeable. Demerara Dry Float. They added and took this one off the menu as of now. It was a balanced light citrusy drink which was served with a delicious sidecar of Hamilton 151 rum infused with banana chips. I sipped half of that and mixed the rest into the cocktail. It was served with a beautiful ice shell. I'm guessing it was too labor intensive, and took up a lot of space in their freezers. Recently added food: Ahi Poke Nachos (marinated ahi tuna, masago, avocado, cucumber, spicy mayo, furikake, green onion). This is such a tasty starter with so many textures and flavors. I love that the nachos are wontons too, and not just chips. Crab & Cream cheese wontons. Nice crisp wontons with a good amount of crab and cream cheese inside. The chili sauce and spicy mayo adds another layer of flavor, and there is a slice of jalapeno on top for a little heat. Pan-Seared Scallops. This was an excellent lighter entrée. The four scallops are cooked perfectly, and even have a little dollop of caviar on top. I liked the mix of veggies and really liked the bed of potato puree underneath. Steak & Eggs (8oz hanger steak, crying tiger glaze, Nam Jim Jaew sauce, sunny eggs, rice). I normally wouldn't try steak & eggs for dinner, but I can't resist a good hanger steak. It was cooked a perfect medium rare and I appreciate that it was pre-sliced. The crying tiger glaze and sauce were so flavorful. There's plenty of rice to soak up any left egg yolk or sauce. Recently added desserts: Dubai Chocolate Lava Cake. This was excellent, but it's definitely sweet and rich. Save some room if you plan on ordering this. Ube Flan Cake. I'm usually not a fan of flan, but I have to try anything with ube and this was good. The cake had nice ube flavor, and I liked that the flan was a little firm since the looser custardy/gelatinous texture is not for me. This is definitely a lighter dessert than the lava cake. It's not a new drink, but I also had the Naval Grog for the first time. (Lost Voyage rum, overproof white rum, allspice dram, lime, grapefruit, demerara, honey). It is boozy with nice spice notes. Other repeat cocktails enjoyed were Tales from the Black Lagoon (my favorite), Missionary's Downfall, Agave Parrot, Singapore Sling, and Serpents Grasp all of which are excellent. Their cocktails, food, ambiance, and service are always top notch. Thank you Ying, Erica, Greg, Jordan, Joey, Iris, Karen, Kyle, Joy, and John for your wonderful hospitality during our visits. We will return again soon!

When we entered, the inside felt like we were in the inside of a train, there were various train themed decoration scattered throughout the walls and floors. My girlfriend got the sex in this city cocktail and I opted for the painkiller cocktail. Both were stunning and delicious. Lots of different photo ops for you and your loved ones as well as movies playing behind the bar. We also loved our bartenders, who made our drinks with ease and were knowledgeable in the different drink items. Overall, would definitely visit again!

We arrived about an hour after opening, and the bar already felt completely unprepared. The bartender was eating food at the bar while we were there, and after getting our initial drinks, we were essentially left on our own. She never checked back with us, and not once were we asked if we wanted another drink. For a place I had been excited to finally visit, this was easily one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had. The service was inattentive, the atmosphere felt unprofessional, and the overall experience left a very bad impression. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

Not just…read morebecause the food was delicious, as usual, but because we had the incredible fortune of having Scotty as our server. Scotty took what was already a great date night and made it truly memorable. Not only was he the best server we've had since we started dining at Puesto, but I'd go so far as to say he was one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. Scotty had a calm, understated demeanor that was part of his charm. He was genuine, attentive, extraordinarily kind, and somehow managed to keep my Diet Coke with lime full the entire evening. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and was always there at just the right moment. Best of all, he laughed at my dad jokes. While the food was outstanding, Scotty made the experience even better. His service elevated an already great meal into an exceptional evening. We will absolutely be requesting Scotty's section every time we visit Puesto Anaheim.

The only thing that took away a star because we had to stand and wait for 15 minutes to be sat. We had a reservation that I made five days ago. They say other parties before us and we had to still stand and wait even with a reservation The restaurant itself is so beautiful! Great spot for dinner with the family!

    This place was such a treat! Where many restaurants around downtown Disney if you don't have a…read morereservation, you have to wait in line, here you can put your name down and they will text you. Ultimately they delayed us by 10 mins after returning to the text and they were so sweet and gave us a free dole whip for the error (and yes! Real Disney dole whip not in the park!! What a treat!) Once we sat outside, we were in front of ukelele players performing which was so fun. They even did some songs from Moana which my daughter loved. I popped inside to use the restroom and that was equally enchanting. We got the appetizer plate which we all loved and the short ribs with a side of the mac salad. Everything was delicious! And toddler approved. Overall this was a highlight of our Disney trip- service, food, and vibes included!

    Trader Sam's is always a must for us, and a huge part of what keeps us coming back is the drinks,…read morethe hospitality and the amazing bartenders! Stephanie, Veronica, and Melissa are all fantastic bartenders and we are always sure to grab a drink when we see them at the bar. They consistently make our cocktails perfectly every single time, and you can tell they really know their craft and care about the guest experience. They're incredibly attentive without ever making us feel rushed. They give us time to enjoy our drinks, take in the atmosphere, and decide what we're in the mood for next while still making sure we're taken care of. That balance of great service and letting us enjoy the experience is something we really appreciate. In terms of drinks the Mojitos and specialty cocktails are to die for. They're always perfectly balanced, refreshing, and packed with flavor. Whether we're in the mood for something tropical, fruity, or a little stronger, they always seem to know exactly what to make. What we especially appreciate is that they're just as creative when we don't feel like drinking. They've made us customized mocktails that are just as fun and delicious as the cocktails. It's not just a basic juice or soda thrown together. They actually take the time to create something unique based on what we like. When it comes to food I recommend the pupu platter, salmon and ramen. They are some of my favorites! The pupu platter has a nice variety of foods that can definitely be shared amongst friends. What I especially love to come for though is a late night bowl of Ramen. Their broth has so much depth and flavor, not to mention the noodles are always cooked perfectly. Trader Sam's is always such a great experience for us. Great drinks, great service, great music and bartenders who genuinely care about what they're serving. We always look forward to coming back
