Went here for drinks on a Friday around lunch and it was pretty packed. The atmosphere was pleasant…read moreoverall. It's a smaller brewery in terms of size, so there wasn't much indoor seating, but they make up for it with a large outdoor seating area in the parking lot, which was a nice bonus. I can't remember the exact beer I ordered, but it was a light, fruity, crisp beer that I enjoyed. In terms of variety, the brewery seemed to focus more on lighter and hoppier beers. There weren't many IPA options or darker beers available. The smash burgers were delicious. I ordered the original smash burger and it definitely did not disappoint. I feel like a lot of places offer smash burgers nowadays but don't execute them well -- either you can't taste the beef or they overload it with cheese and sauce. Here, everything felt balanced. The beef had a great grilled crispiness to it, and the flavors all came through nicely. The tater tots were also really good, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Parking can be a bit difficult. They share a small lot with other businesses, so it fills up quickly. You'll probably need to find street parking nearby, and there isn't a ton of it available either.

Stopped by this local brewery on a Monday afternoon to catch up with a friend in Tustin, and it…read moreended up being the perfect low key hangout. From the outside, it looks pretty modest, but once you walk in, the space really opens up. It's much bigger than expected with a relaxed, easygoing vibe. Since it was a quieter weekday afternoon, we seated ourselves, and the staff still made a point to check in on us. Our server was friendly and welcoming without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel comfortable. We kept it simple with a beer and an appetizer. We ordered the Hawaiian pizza along with a beer. Nothing overly fancy, but it hit the spot. Sometimes that's exactly what you need. Overall, it's a super convenient place to meet up, unwind, if you're looking for a brewery spot in Tustin. It is dog friendly as well. Definitely a solid go to when you're looking for something casual and easy.

I was invited by a friend who is a member here at DTTN. We were greeted by wonderful staff who got…read moreus seated in the main room with all the personal lockers and it was so fun being able to see everyone's collections and decor. Next, they set up with drinks right away. It was so lovely being able to speak with our bartenders for the night who asked us specifically what type of cocktails we like to enjoy and if we like to sip on tall or short drinks. This experience itself was unlike any other because as soon as my drink came out, it matched EXACTLY the drink I would normally order off a menu. There are preset cocktails to choose from as well but the drink made for me was so lovely. We were next met by Chef Jason who came by and spoke to us about his favorite items on the menu currently. He made suggestions of what to order, how he would pair items together, and even put in a few items to surprise us. I am so happy we had a moment to chat with chef because hearing the story behind the dishes, why he created them, and the inspiration he took from different cuisines was so unique. Many times, we get to enjoy delicious food but we rarely sit down with the chef to understand why it was created for us in the first place. Chef Jason is such a funny, entertaining, and personable man and made the entire dinner even more special. My favorite shout out dishes have to be the Kayseri Mantisi, Wagyu Flake Steak, World Peace Burger, and Sour Patch Melon. These flavors are incredibly complex yet complement each other so wonderfully and every bite is heavenly. There are so many other dishes I tried and each deserves its own shoutout, but these mentioned above blew my mind away. Should I have another chance to come by, I definitely will take it up! The menu rotates and there are always new items that pop up so it will always be a new experience each time. Thank you to all the DTTN staff and members who assisted us with such a beautiful night out.

At the bar we had the opportunity to explain flavors and preferences and got our minds blown by some of their creations that they make specifically for you.

Their lounge is tastefully decorated and adorned with several fun coffee table books. We spotted the death & co cocktail book :D You learn about their reason for going the membership only route and it makes sense. It's a wonderful space, and we're hopeful to return one day.

First have to say the staff here is the best we frequent here so this review doesn't reflect the…read morestaff in any way they are truly the best and work really hard. The review is about the new changes to menu, def not a fan of the new items, bring back some of the classics, it def feels the menu is trying too hard and being across the street from a baseball park keep it simple and classic. The last few times we have gone they have been out of a lot of our favorite beers, knowing that baseball season is back they should make sure that they have plenty in stock before the weekend starts. Lastly is the time, I totally understand the need for a "hard close" however when you allow people to order at 10:30 and the food takes 10/15 min to arrive that only allows for 15 min or less to eat your food. Also bring back the happy hour!

I've had sandwiches, salads, appetizers and beer here and always leave happy (except for the chocolate chip cookies. Those were crunchy and unappetizing like warmed up chips ahoy - skip those). Service is great- I'm always treated well when I come in here, and the space feels like a great place to bring the family for a meal, friends for a drink or just to go solo and catch the feeling of the neighborhood. It's friendly. Some of the seats need new upholstery but it's a minor gripe. One of my favorite spots in downtown Orange.

It looks nice in here, there are lots of TVs and they had every imaginable sports game on when we were there. The chairs were so comfy! I was very pleased with the seating. Our waitress was really nice, but she was swamped with some very needy tables, so I think she did her best with us. He had one of their light beers and said it was ok. I had the Yuzu Lychee hard seltzer, wasn't a fan. It tasted more like apple juice to me, I didn't finish it. I had the Bodega Sando that has scrambled eggs, a hash brown patty, bacon, "spicy" sauce, and is served with house potatoes. I really liked my sandwich and the potatoes! I didn't find the spicy sauce to have a hint of heat though, I was fine with it. He had the Turkey ABC sandwich with bacon, lettuce, avocado, and pepper jack cheese, served with chips. I liked my meal better, but he enjoyed it. We do want to come back, he wants to try their burgers, I want to try the Brunchcuterie board which sounds really unique and tasty. We'll make it a point to visit again soon!

ENCHILIDA SUIZAS, lobster + shrimp filling, corn, poblano cream sauce, pickled red onion, cilantro, queso fresco, I give 5/5, I enjoyed the combination of the sauce and enchiladas, it wasn't overcooked and had a great refreshing savory flavor. Plated very nicely, visually appealing. BULGOGI KIMCHI FRIED RICE, fried eggs, gochujang, green onion furikake, pickled radish, cilantro, I give 4/5, overall I enjoyed this plate, but I do feel the beef could have been slightly stronger in terms of flavor? The rice was holding all the spices and taste. DULCE DE LECHE FRENCH TOAST, crème fraîche chantilly, brûléed banana, chocolate sauce, maldon salt, I would give 5/5, presentation was beautiful, taste wise I really enjoyed it, had a very good balance of sweetness and not too strong.

Very nice sweetness on both of the margs. The brussels were spicy! Had a good kick to them, while the broccolini was a lot more tame. Fish and chips were nice and crispy and the fries were so good! Clam chowder also very delicious. Also had a bit of the bavarian pretzel and some of a burger and those were both great as well!

They're serving up whole meals from these trucks. In fact, one reddit user says that this might be some of the best pizza in all of Orange County!

You've got an ooey gooey burger with some special sauce, pickles, and some beefy patties! MMm, it's great! And it comes in this cute sleeve! Check out the salad too, it's super well-dressed, crispy, and those fried capers really give it a briny pop! The fries ain't no slouch either! Duck fat's delicious, and bacon, cheese, and gravy? I mean come on! But we gotta address the pizza in the room. This thing is thin crust, cheesy, umami, spicy, and all the ee's to describe something delicious.
