We had a really good dining experience here for my wife's birthday celebration. My daughter, wife and I shared the spicy tuna crispy rice, Prime New York steak, grilled seabass and short rib fried rice. The spicy tuna was not what we were accustomed to but it was still tasty. The steak was cooked perfectly and came out really tasty especially with the chimichurri. The seabass with the Yuzu ginger broth was wetter than I like but still flavorful. I prefer a dry rub over fish which I find cleaner with higher quality fishes. Overall, we still enjoyed our meal and had some nice cocktails during our celebration.

Nice ambiance, very clean and organized as you walk in. Love that the place is dog friendly and has a doggie menu. Good food, good service, good time.

Pretty good contemporary American restaurant by the water in HB. With a nice place like this some dishes are priced on the higher end and some are fair. Nevertheless, great spot to impress a date or relatives. Food here is pretty great too. I'd recommend the lobster Mac n cheese. Their dinner roles are exceptional as well. Service here is pretty great and I'd recommend sitting outside at the patio. It's all well heated too.

Loved our brunch! Had the sampler tower, crispy tator tots and bloody Mary's and mimosas. Everything was PERFECT!!

My friend and I came for drinks and dinner, and even on a rainy night the ambiance was beautiful. The patio is a must, the ceiling-mounted heaters keep it warm without the usual clutter of heat lamps. We shared a bottle of wine, a soup for her, and a mushroom orecchiette for me. Unfortunately, the pasta was undercooked. Not al dente, just not cooked through. It was disappointing because the mushrooms and sauce were excellent, and they pour the sauce and soup in front of you which is a nice touch. It makes the dining experience feel more elevated. I rarely send dishes back, but this one wasn't edible. Our server, Shelby, was kind and professional and replaced it with the duck and goat cheese charcuterie at no charge. It was delicious, with generous portions. Despite the hiccup with the pasta, we had a lovely time and I'd happily return.

Beautiful location Not too many vegan options though I had the beyond sausage - they seemed deep fried Also the potatoes. They were ok but could have been crispier and had more flavor The Balinese salad was ok too. There was a ginger taste to the dressing and it came with farro as well The server was really good I had the London fog as well and it was very good

Lorea offers a fantastic dining experience with its great ambiance and contemporary decorations, all while providing a beautiful ocean view. The dinner was amazing, and the service was exceptional. The cocktails were enjoyable as well. However, breakfast took a lengthy 45 minutes to arrive, and the birria burrito left me a bit disappointed as it was dry. The level of service during breakfast seemed to fall short compared to dinner. A special shoutout bartender, Chris who not only crafted excellent cocktails but also provided fantastic service when we came just for drinks in the afternoon. He also made the best Spiced Apple Sour cocktail during our breakfast. Overall, I highly recommend Lorea and the associated Pasea Hotel for a pleasant 5-star experience.

It was our first time and finding parking was very difficult. We ended up parking at Pacific City and thankfully parking was free due to some special Anniversary. We had a 7 pm reservation, but at 7:20 pm, we were told there are two parties in front of us! That was disappointing, what's the point of a reservation? About 10 minutes later, we were seated because one of the party canceled. It is located in Pasea Hotel & Spa. The ambiance is great. There are both indoor and outdoor seating. The food was delicious. I like the plating of each dish, so pretty; especially my Oshizushi. I love the toasted Nori on the side. My hubby enjoyed his fish. It was well flavored and no bones! We want to return in the daytime to enjoy the ocean view.

Tables. Birthday girl. Dresses. Fashion. Empty space. Only 3-4 tables were booked that evening. Wasn't busy.

Yikes. Sorry. The atmosphere is cool but not worth it. Had dinner here for my birthday before heading to bungalow. The food came out cold and was tasteless. My table agreed and one of my guest found a long thick metal in her food! Omg, how terrifying. They comp'd her food. But she was disappointed the rest of the evening. We had such high hopes in this place because of the location and the way it looked. But it was not what we expected and we didn't have a good time. The staff was fine. But it took forever to get our food out. Unfortunately we won't be coming back here unless everything changes. Food quality, service, speed, attention to cleanliness, etc. There was only 2 other table there that night as well. It wasn't even packed. I'm guessing it was only one cook and like 3 staffs. But it was disappointing still

One of my favorite locals spots. The food, the view and Chris, the most attentive bartender, make this the perfect spot to have a "staycation" when you live so close to the beach! I bring clients, friends and visitors to Lorea to enjoy the view, the ambiance and the great food. Chris is the bonus!

This restaurant is located inside Paseo Hotel & Spa (which also features Treehouse rooftop bar overlooking the beach). Ambience - As many other reviews mentioned, this was spot on. Many angles/seatings of this resturant (more outdoor than indoor of course) directly look out into the beach and when we had our dinner at 7pm sunset time the view was stunning, palm trees ocean against backdrop of a orange purple red Patagonia-logo sunset made us paused here and there during our meal to just enjoy the view. Restaurant itself is clean, modern, and very spaceous. Food - We ordered kale salad (refreshing balanced out our meat dishes, slightly saucier than expected), duck/goat chacutterie (great visual and great taste), prime steak frittes (medium rare felt a bit more like medium but still delicious), whole market fish (seabass that day with squash and lemon, tasty and filling) and the infamous parker house rolls (HEAVEN w/ beewax butter edible candle dip). I see previous reviews complained about food being bland, but our meal was tasty so I'd chart it off under they're implementing long term improvements or it's just reviewers' own subjective differences. Service - Professional and friendly service, our server Erica always greeted us with a smile and randomly checked in on us as we dined to see if we were doing okay. Very attentive water refill frequency, when our server was busy other servers were helpful in stepping in (unlike some other places where they may have you wait for your server, understandable no harm no foul but this way just feels more collaborative and supportive). In the beginning we did wait a little for the host to appear on a not full house evening, but based on the behaviors we observed it felt more like they were all very busy and might be understaffed for the day, and not idling or negligent so we didn't mind it too much. As a bonus we went upstairs to Treehouse rooftop bar after for some drinks and the lantern rustic decor went very well with the sunset beach view! Parking - Valet parking since it's in a hotel, quick hard working young staff, attentive and polite. p.s. bring a light jacket if sitting outdoor during dinner time, the beach breeze can be a bit chilly!

Brunch in Huntington Beach. Great spot to eat and people see. Views of the beach. Delicious food and mimosas.

Went to Lorea for a Christmas dinner on Friday. We sat outside under the heaters. It was nice and toasty and beautiful ambiance. They had a live singer which added to the experience. Customer service was great. Food was good. A bit pricey. We ordered the tomahawk that serves two. The sauces that came with it included pepper gravy, chimichurri, house steak sauce. I found the steak to be better without any of the sauces. Overall fun experience.

I had the BEST experience at Roux Seafood Kitchen! I've been here twice now and I already know I'll…read morebe coming back again and again. First off, the food is incredible: * I ordered the Mardi Gras Pasta (shrimp, andouille sausage, chicken, mushrooms in a marinara cream sauce) and it was SO flavorful, rich, and perfectly balanced * I also tried the Pernod Shrimp Pasta, which was lighter but still packed with flavor from the garlic, basil, white wine, and tomatoes * I also got to try some of my friend's seafood boil and it was delicious! Super flavorful without being overwhelming, which I really appreciated * I have to talk about the beignets... because WOW! They were better than Disneyland's (lol). Perfectly soft, warm, and just chef's kiss You can really tell everything is made fresh and with care. Portions were super filling and the presentation was honestly gorgeous! We had a group of 12 people and we booked their special events room and it was SUCH a fun experience. It had karaoke, TVs, a pool table, and a super cute backdrop! It was perfect for a group hangout or celebration. What made the night even more special was celebrating my birthday there! The team surprised me with a dessert (ice cream with fried bananas!) which was such a sweet and memorable touch. The vibe and ambiance overall was amazing! I'd 100% recommend this place for a group dinner or romantic date night to have your boyfriend peel your shrimps for you LOL. Service was outstanding, especially considering how busy it was. Huge shoutout to Christian, Nathan, Nathan, and Christine for taking such great care of our big group. They were all so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Yes, the wait was a bit longer since it was a busy night, but honestly the quality of the food and service made it completely worth it. You can really feel the love behind this place being family-owned, and it shows in both the food and the service! If you're looking for amazing and authentic cajun food, a beautiful atmosphere, and a place that truly takes care of you, Roux is the way!

Heard they have the best lobster roll in the nation so of course, the little food critic that I am…read morehad to come check this place out for myself. They give you the option of either a 4oz or 6oz, priced at $34 and $49. It's a Connecticut style roll made with buttered lobster on a toasted brioche bun. It also comes with a side of fries and you can choose your choice of seasoning, "Chef's way" or "Maine style." The roll is pretty expensive but honestly worth it in my opinion because of how much lobster they pack into it. The brioche bread was perfectly toasted. The lobster was fresh and buttery without making the bread soggy, even after pouring extra melted butter on top. This is definitely the best lobster roll I've had.

Also, he was extremely rude to my father when he was trying to pay via InKind. He claimed that they were not using InKind anymore and couldn't take our InKind payment, even though they were still on the app. The reason why we went here was to use our InKind benefits, which were available here according to InKind. He then claimed that it was my father's responsibility to contact InKind about this issue and that it was our problem??? No accountability at all from the manager. Grow up. The food is pretty good. Our waitress was also great. But there are major issues besides that.
