I recently found The Scratch Room through Yelp. Visited on a Sunday morning when it was pretty busy…read moreand we had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. The staff was welcoming and the restaurant cozy and simple. It reminded me of the kind of small town restaurant you might find in the mid-west, unassuming but friendly, with a nice family and "after church" kind of vibe. Service was prompt, the waitress friendly. Coffee and drinks came very quick. I had a California omelette with roasted portables. A good choice, it was tasty and filling. Definitely try the banana bread as a side. It is excellent! Also worth getting one to go. Overall, eating at the Scratch Xafe was a good experience, and I look forward to eating there again soon.

Came here for a Sunday brunch and was not disappointed. It's a smaller sized place so there was a…read moreshort wait but there are chairs outside so it wasn't long for a party of 2. Staff was super friendly and we had two waitresses helping us (confusion or on purpose I don't know). I normally go for a "standard" breakfast but decided to try their skillet and I was glad I did because it was really good. Only downside was the toast wasn't really toasted more so just warmed up. Would definitely go back tho.

I stopped in because I had business and n the area, and enjoyed a great meal. The space provided a…read morecomfortable reprieve from the heat outside. Every staff member I engaged with was extremely welcoming, but I'm especially writing this review for Chef John. After the server told me one of the items on the menu was not available and tried her best to suggest something similar, Chef John stepped out to clarify exactly what I was hoping for and whipped up something special. While I happily gobbled down some perfectly roasted veggies, fried chicken, and gravy, he even came out to check in. I told him the food really hit the spot and I meant it! Pairing my meal with the boysenberry lemonade really tied it all together.

Four of us shared a surprisingly good pizza at Thirty Acres Kitchen. We weren't expecting too much…read more Typically, hotel restaurants that try to cater to everyone end up with a menu of mediocrity. Not the case here. We chose the Meaty Madness. A really good New York style crust was topped with a hearty sauce, Mozz, and copious amounts of pepperoni, sausage, ham and bacon. The crust held up mightily to the weighty meat. It was airy and offered a great chew. We asked for it to be well done to get a little snap in that crust. The meat was excellent and not too salty. Not the best pizza in the world, but it was certainly a good one. Paired very nicely with some ice-cold beers. Service was friendly and efficient.

After a fun day at Knott's Berry Farm, my wife and I decided to get dinner before hitting the road…read more The criteria were good eats, a varied beer selection, a decent atmosphere, and hopefully some novelty. Rock and Brews exceeded each category and came in clutch with some bonuses! First, and most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious! I had tacos, which were discounted for Taco Tuesday and allowed for a mix-and-match of chicken, beef, or pork. My wife had the Mediterranean salad, which she thoroughly enjoyed. We also shared a pretzel that was mega yummy. Second, beer! Lots of great choices, and if you prefer a mixed spirit, well, you're in luck, because they have plenty of those too. Third, vibes! Vibes like Cal Tjader came back to life. The place is decked out like your coolest friend won the lottery and created the perfect spot for all of his Rock & Roll lovin' homies to hang and chill. It is hard to pull off this level of focus without being a complete visual disaster or downright tawdry. Luckily for them, the designer understood the assignment. Well done, designer. You deserve a raise. Now, obviously, I'm a fan. One visit. That's all it took. But even after all of that goodness, there is one thing I must share, because it made a good experience a great one, and that thing is not even a thing; it was Matthew! Brother, thank you for being so kind and attentive. You are very talented, and without question, the quality of our experience is directly linked to your professionalism. I get the impression that no matter where you go, or what you do, the Force is always strong with you. Let's give Matt a raise too! And make him manager when you open the San Diego location.

Grew up and live in Buena Park and I've only been here 3 times. That's gotta change. The burgers…read morewere pretty. They were tasty, too, but I can always appreciate a good looking burger that doesn't fall over after they place it on the table. I had the super spicy one and it kicked my bum. I can't hang like the old days. Very fun eating experience though, and I was able to finish every single scoville. Waiter was helpful with customizing (bread swap). French fries were fine. Will be back, even if it's just to get a bottle of their hot sauce . Only real gripe is that this place looks and feels like a sports bar/restaurant, it has over a dozen TVs... But the same thing was on ALL the TVs ! I understand the music theme is central appeal, but at least have different (variety) music videos on if you're gonna have 30 TVs in your restaurant. Make it interesting

Last night, after a long day, we had a great dinner at Wood Ranch in Cerritos. The food was…read moreabsolutely delicious! I was once told that when the people serving your food are attentive and welcoming, the food tastes better and the beer is colder! I didn't have a beer, so I can't confirm whether it was colder, but I can definitely say that our waitress, Brittanie, was on point with everything. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with her recommendations. She explained that the grilled asparagus has more flavor than the steamed asparagus, and of course, you can never go wrong with the tri-tip! She even offered to make a fresh pot of coffee for some very tired people. When it came time for dessert, Brittanie told us that the butter cake is one of her favorites, but she also said you can't go wrong with the peach crisp topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I want to personally thank Brittanie for the amazing service she provided last night. Her never-ending smile lit up the room, and she made sure everything about our dinner was perfect. Thank you again, Brittanie, for helping make our dinner so enjoyable and delicious. Your outstanding service did not go unnoticed!

This was the first time they forgot avocado in my Natalie's salad. To make up for it they acknowledged their mistake and gave me a nice little plate full! I get mistakes happen, and it's bound to happen in a fast paced environment. Overall I liked how our server was quick to turn this into a good customer service experience!

We love Puesto and always enjoy our food, but last night was one for the record books. 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.

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!

BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY! I do not recommend ordering from here…read more Staff does not seem to pay attention to order notes and since I ordered via Doordash, Doordash customer service refused to refund anything. I ordered a California Burrito since that what I usually get and its specifically listed not containing any eggs. I left a note about an egg allergy so that they were aware during preparation. But instead of getting the item I ordered, they sent me an egg, hashbrown, and bacon burrito. This is really REALLY dangerous which is a huge shame because the food is good but I no longer feel comfortable ordering food from here if staff is careless and sending out the wrong items and not paying attention to allergy notes.

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
