    Egg Benedict
    Jessica G.

    Stopped by after a morning run and it hit the spot. I ordered the extra omelette with avocado, and they were not stingy with it. It came with sourdough bread and house potatoes, really good and super filling. The fresh squeezed orange juice was also fresh and refreshing. The menu is pretty diverse, from breakfast to sandwiches and salads so you can't go wrong. What stood out the most was the service, friendly, welcoming, and the space was clean. A soiled go to place with small or big groups.

    I discovered this place at a Yelp event in Long Beach and thought that their pasta they served was absolutely phenomenal, so I looked through my bag of goodies and found a coupon there for $10 off and went. When I got there, I ordered the jalapeño tequila pasta I had at the Yelp event again and it was just as I remembered it. It had that nice kick from the jalapeños that blended perfectly with the creamy sauce and was absolutely irresistible. Definitely worth the drive from Los Angeles for that alone. They served us free and warm bread at the beginning, which was nice. Their tequila sampler included premium brands like Casamigos, Don Julio, Cassadores and more, and was only $34 for 4 two ounce shots. Quite a deal as that came out to about $8.50 a shot. The California skins, which are the potato skins with cheese, bacon and tomato on top were under $6 and absolutely a delight. It's almost impossible to find a place that makes twice baked potatoes, but these were so rich and creamy and I loved them as well. My friend got an ultimate burger, which was stacked with a burger patty and pastrami, which was really good as well. If I ate it alone, I would've said that it was a top quality burger, however when compared to the pasta and other dishes, it didn't hold up to the spotlight of those dishes. The sweet potato fries tasted exactly as you would expect for them to. This place has a fish tank at the front which is very calming and relaxing to watch. The staff is super attentive and nice. I'm so happy I got to eat one of the best pastas I ever ate again and I'm looking forward to coming back here often. Even though it's close to an hour drive from La, I love it!

    As a Whittier local this has always been a place I'd visit. The service is always great, the selection of menu items is awesome. This place is always busy and gets a little loud but I don't mind. I usually order the salads and they never skimp on ingredients. Definitely a staple in Whittier.

    Garden Sandwich and fried Zucchini Parmesan

    Food is always fresh and service is always great. Our only issue this time is that when we ordered the veggie sandwich, it was supposed to come with avocado which it did not, but they rectify it immediately.

    Chicken Marsala Pasta
    Ana J.

    What a great little spot! They have a full bar and a great menu. I ordered the Chicken Marsala, which was delicious! It was a healthy portion for a lunch order and came with some cheese toast. My friend ordered the Newporter Chicken Sandwich and she liked it. The only thing that would have made her meal better would have been crunchier fries. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place and I would go back. They have their own parking, though it's a small lot. There is street parking nearby.

    This place was amazing from front to back. The restaurant is cute, it reminds me of like a chilis/applebees kind of restaurant but with a homier feeling. All the food in these picture cost 77 dollars portions sizes were HUGE. I was with one other person and we didn't even finish half of what was shown lol. Service was great, Our server, Maritza, was great, food came out no more than 15ish minutes after ordering. Everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. Food was amazing, overall a great and surprisingly quick experience.

    Pomegranate Margarita and Old Fashioned
    Lori R.

    Been wanting to come here for awhile and I finally went last night. The food here is really good, atmosphere was nice, and they had live music outside, only thing I didn't care for was the service, the service was not good. Waitress never once came to check on us, only time we interacted with her is when she took our order and brought us our our check. She was no where to be found and it wasn't even that busy. We had been done eating for about 10-15 min and we had to ask someone else to call our waitress. Once she finally came over she didn't offer us dessert or any refills. So if you don't mind slow service then I recommend this place because the food is pretty good.

    Whiskey event table
    Cesar G.

    Purchased tix for California Grill's 4-course meal and Blanton's whiskey tasting event. For $75/person, we figured that was a great price since Blanton's is such a great whiskey. Oh boy was it a great price! The staff treated us like royalty with their amazing service and what seemed to be non-stop food. The whiskey rep kept bringing around whiskey to taste and the staff also brought us an amazing cocktail. The waitresses made sure we had everything we wanted and the owner Nick took time to speak with everybody. At the end of the event, they gave each couple a bottle of whiskey to take home. I can't wait for their next tasting event! Word is that it's going to be a tequila tasting.

    California food-themed, family-friendly spot in Downtown Whittier. Place is popular so parking is limited. Pretty big on the inside and the menu is large, with so many options. Reminds me a bit of the Cheesecake Factory's menu. Very well-staffed crew that's attentive and helpful. Everything they serve here is generous; the portions are humongous. Ordered the following: - Country Club sandwich - 7.5/10: Large turkey club sandwich stuffed with fresh tomatoes and lettuce, with generous portions of turkey. Big plate of food. - Fries - 6.5/10: seasoned a bit, but lacked a little crunch and was a bit uninspiring. As stated, there's a lot of menu items to explore, so given the amount of food you get and the price point, I think it definitely merits a return.

I'm happy to report that the tri tip was just as good, maybe even better, than the last time! It was extremely tender, juicy and tasty with the right amount of spice, and all our guests raved about it - even my picky 5 year old grandson loved it, and ate tri tip sandwiches all week! We had used Grill Fellas several years ago and remembered how good the tri tip was, so I called, and Bill was willing to cook several tri tips for us, plus deliver, slice and set them up in a chafing tray we had so the proper temperatures could be maintained and the meat wouldn't dry out. Bill is very reliable (important when expecting a lot of guests!) and also very helpful which ensured the food service went smoothly. So many people asked about the tri tip, but since Bill doesn't sell individual tri tips, I would like to suggest he take orders and maybe cook all the orders once a month and sell them on one day - just a thought! The tri tip is not inexpensive, but well worth it for a very special and tasty meal. Thanks, Bill!

Her transparency, responsiveness, attention-to-detail and professionalism consistently set her apart. Brittany was always proactive and reliable; we never had to chase for answers or run around in circles. One of the greatest advantages was her delivery of timely, updated quotes--something we deeply appreciated for effective budget management. Even before we booked the venue, Brittany walked us through detailed rain contingency plans, which proved invaluable when we encountered a once-in-a-blue-moon torrential downpour on our wedding day. As a bride coordinating family travel from across the globe--while also navigating significant challenges with an approved vendor--Brittany stepped in at critical moments and ensured the day ran smoothly from an operational standpoint. Our guests could not stop praising the outstanding, multicultural food (especially the bulgogi beef bao, dessert stations and confetti cake) and the thoughtful allergy accommodations, which were handled seamlessly. Guest experience was one of our top priorities, and Brittany's execution gave us complete confidence. On our wedding day, anything within her scope was something we never had to worry about - and the food was one of the TOP compliments received from guests. The only feedback we strongly encourage the business to consider is a thorough audit of its approved vendor list. Unfortunately, our greatest challenges stemmed from a vendor on this list. Brittany's efforts were instrumental in mitigating issues caused by this vendor that could have otherwise impacted the success of the event. The strength of Serra Plaza's internal team deserves to be matched by the same standard across all required vendors to protect future couples. Beyond this, our experience was exceptional, and we are deeply grateful for Brittany's leadership and support. Thank you to the full team for stepping up to the plate when we needed it the most to execute the best day ever. We recommend Jay's Catering and Serra Plaza to any couple for the food, professionalism, service and kindness!
