Great welcoming staff and our server Benny was just the best. Warm and friendly from the beginning, he had that personal touch that just made all the difference. From his recommendation of the crab cakes cakes and calamari, he was super attentive and boy was it busy. The surf and turf is to die for and Benny knew we wouldn't be disappointed. The food was amazing, fresh and tasty. This place is exactly what the Brea Mall needed, but our server Benny took the experience to the next level. Make sure to ask for him and pay Pacific Catch a visit.

The Crab Toast was great, it was super crab-forward, with a buttery, crunchy toast that added the perfect texture. If you love crab, this dish is worth trying! The Banh Mi Chao with Filet Mignon came with bite-sized chunks of beef, and the filet was seasoned really well. My only complaint was that some pieces had chewy tendon, which took away from the experience a bit. We also tried the Curry Crab Omelet, which was definitely packed with crab. However, the flavor started to feel a little repetitive after a while, so it wasn't my personal favorite. Overall, Nep Cafe is a cute spot for brunch or a casual meal with friends. However, service can be slow when it gets busy.

One of my favourite restaurants in Orange County. It's always refreshing to find a restaurant that…read morespecialises in seafood but still manages to offer unique dishes you don't commonly see elsewhere. The seafood selection is extensive, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the quality is consistent. The atmosphere is upscale and polished and the service is outstanding. The staff are attentive, and the food comes out surprisingly quickly. Halibut Cheeks (9/10) - Absolutely delicious. The cheeks are incredibly tender yet meaty, and they pair beautifully with the grilled fennel. Honestly, the sauce deserves a shoutout of its own. I could probably drink the stuff straight from the plate. My only complaint is that I wish there were a little more halibut cheek on the dish. Oysters (10/10) - I mean, you really can't go wrong with fresh oysters. They have a fantastic selection to choose from, along with all the accompaniments. Mussels (10/10) - Plump, juicy, and packed with flavour. And once again, that sauce! Water Grill clearly knows how to make a sauce that complements its seafood without overpowering it. Shrimp Scampi (8/10) - The pasta was beautifully cooked al dente, and the shrimp paired wonderfully with the noodles. Interestingly, I found the sauce a little bland on its own, but somehow everything came together really well as a dish. Pink Bream Ceviche (10/10) - Off-menu item and an absolute standout. Such a simple preparation, yet executed perfectly. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the dish really let its natural flavour shine through. Sometimes the best seafood dishes are the ones that do the least to the ingredients, and this was a perfect example. Caesar Salad (9/10) - One of the best Caesar salads I've had anywhere. Every leaf of lettuce was perfectly coated in dressing and cheese, and the sauce had just the right balance without feeling too heavy or overpowering. Crab Cake (7/10) - Still a good dish, but probably my least favorite of the bunch. I loved the pickled vegetables served alongside it, which provided a bright, tangy contrast to the richness of the crab cake. My only issue was that I felt there was a little too much breading relative to the amount of crab.

The good: Service was outstanding! All servers did an excellent job. The Parker salted role were…read moreoutstanding as well and the house vinaigrette salad dressing was very tasty! I ordered the Stone Crab claws which were very good, except they were downgraded by being served a horrible mustard sauce that was inedible. When I complained, they brought out a saffron aioli to substitute which didn't go with crab whatsoever. Stone crab should only be served with the iconic mustard sauce served at Joe's Stone Crab in Miami. No restaurant ever substitutes this sauce, ever! WG attempted and miserably failed, totally killing the fresh flavor of the crab. Here's the recipe for the chef. Please use it for your Stone Crab patrons! 1 tablespoon Colman's dry mustard, or more to taste 1 cup mayonnaise 2 teaspoons Worcestershire 1 teaspoon A-1 sauce 2 tablespoons light cream Salt That's it!!

Great spot for seafood at Irvine Spectrum! We enjoyed the oysters, shrimp salad, and bacon-wrapped…read moreshrimp. The oysters were especially refreshing with a squeeze of lemon, and the bacon-wrapped shrimp were a delicious savory bite. The salad was generously topped with shrimp--a satisfying addition to our meal. The prices were reasonable for the quality and portions, especially at Irvine Spectrum. It's a great choice when you want good seafood without spending a fortune. Definitely worth a visit, and I'd happily come back for more oysters!

I had been craving pan roast and oysters, so I was excited to discover this spot at the Spectrum…read more The restaurant offers both indoor and patio seating, which is a nice option depending on your preference. I stopped in at a somewhat odd hour, but my first impression of the service wasn't great. When I walked in, there wasn't a single employee around to greet me for a good minute or so. Eventually, someone came out from the back and told me I could sit wherever I liked. Since I was dining solo, I grabbed a seat at the counter. Unfortunately, the lack of professionalism continued throughout my visit. I'm not sure if there's a designated employee break area, but it was strange to see one of the servers eating a bowl of noodles in the same area where drinks were being prepared, and later squatting on the floor to take a break. At one point, another male server appeared, and their flirtatious and somewhat inappropriate interactions were awkward to witness as a customer. Overall, the service and professionalism could definitely use some improvement. As for the food, I came specifically for the $2 oyster happy hour. The oysters were huge and tasted fine. I'm generally not a fan of oversized oysters, but these were surprisingly meaty and smooth, so I enjoyed them. I also ordered the pan roast advertised on the happy hour menu, which was unfortunately a letdown. Rather than the rich, seafood-filled pan roast I was expecting, it was essentially a bowl of tomato bisque with barely anything in it, served alongside a bowl of rice. It really didn't resemble what I would consider a proper pan roast, and I wouldn't advertise it as such. Overall, while the oysters were decent and the indoor and outdoor seating options are a plus, the disappointing pan roast and lack of professionalism from the staff left a lot to be desired. There's definitely room for improvement, especially when it comes to service and the quality of the food being advertised.

Catering Review: I…read morecannot say enough great things about my experience with Fresh off the Boat Grill. Is it possible for the catered food to be even better than the plate from the restaurant? Both delicious of course. I ordered the food for a family party, and everyone absolutely raved about the food. I think for the amount we got, the food was a great value as well. The food was delivered locally for $30, which is a great value especially when super busy throwing a party. Mark was wonderful, he sent a confirmation message the day before, and even helped me set things up a bit upon delivery. The communication beforehand when creating the menu and getting things set up was great. What we ordered: Chicken kabob platter and ground sirloin platter which both included basmati rice, grilled vegetables, salad, hummus, and pita bread. We also ordered an extra gyro platter. Everything was a (5/5)! The chicken and ground sirloin were both super flavorful and tender, the chicken was juicy, both cooked to perfection The hummus may have been some of the best I've ever had, it had a slight lemon flavoring and was super creamy. Definitely homemade. Salad was fresh and refreshing, I enjoyed the dressing, it was light, but a had a bit of unique spices. Veggies and rice were solid. I definitely recommend using Fresh off the Boat Grill to Cater your event! Everyone will love the food, and the experience will be smooth. I have eaten at the restaurant on multiple occasions, and always had a positive experience as well.

We stopped by here on my birthday for a nice evening dinner. Got there a little before sunset. There's just something magical about eating outside during a sunset, especially at the Orange Plaza. The restaurant has such a cool look and vibe! We started off with the Hamachi crudo, salmon ceviche, and a bowl of clam "chowdah". The crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. The salmon ceviche was really good but a bit heavy on the sauce for me. The clam chowder had whole clams in the shell throughout. That was fun to pick them out! For entrees we got the lean and mean plate with sea bass. It comes with salad and rice, we substituted the rice for black beans. We also got the skirt steak "bulgogi" which was served on top of mushrooms and bok choy with a sweet soy sauce. They accidentally brought out salmon instead of sea bass, but were very apologetic. They brought out a sea bass on the side and comped the entree to make up for it. Great service right there! The salmon and seabass were both delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and juicy, full of flavor. As a birthday gift they brought out a thai milk tea blondie sundae which was soooo good! Get it if you like sweets. I wish the owners all the best in their future endeavors, they created a great restaurant that many will miss. Thanks to all the servers, hostesses, cooks, and bussers as well for making my birthday dinner so special!

Apparently they are implementing self serve kiosks at this location? The wait was a little longer…read morethan usual, but I understand - guests are figuring out all the options that are available for them to order and the menu is expansive. Point noted. However, one staff member in an effort to assist the lengthy wait went behind the cash register and took the next customers order. So I proceeded to go into the line behind that customer so I could place my order. Once that customer had completed their order the staff member proceeded to just walk away. Nothing was said or commented that he would be stepping away or just helping that one customer and then re-direct me back to the self serve kiosk line. This is definitely a failure in customer service at this store. You are already automating the ordering process, but now your own staff acts just as blunt and robotic as the self serve kiosk. Usually a great experience here. I'm sure this is not the norm, but communication is important especially within customer service. An acknowledgement or comment to say that he would be stepping away and direct me to the other line would've been appreciated. Since he was not able to take the time to communicate -- I will spend a few minutes of my time to share my feedback and hopefully this can be addressed or is just limited to this one time experience.
