Heather was amazing!! Me and my boyfriend came here on a Tuesday morning and we had a wonderful breakfast experience. Oh my goodness the cinnamon roll french toast was to die for! I was worried it would be too heavy like most Cinnabons are.... But it was perfect. I got the grand breakfast. I got mine with egg whites, crispy bacon, and obviously the cinnamon roll french toast. They were two petite sized rolls and they didn't have any frosting, but that's what made them so perfect and not heavy. Heather advised us that these were special homemade ones and a must-try. Sooooo good and happy. My boyfriend got the 2 egg platter with hash brown, and of course the highly recommended pumpkin muffin. Another winner! Heather was very attentive, kind, help, patient... all the things that add to a wonderful guest experience. I was indecisive at first, and she was quick to offer her advice of the best flavors... and she was right! She was quick the refill our coffees, we didn't have to ask for anything, because she offered everything that we needed without having to wait or ask. We had a lovely breakfast date and recommend this place to anyone :) read more

I decided to go to Mimi's for old time's sake. It's been a while since the last time I set foot in one. We were the first ones there on a Tuesday morning. The booth we were given seemed a little old and the seat was lumpy. Our server was friendly and helpful. I ordered the brie mushroom and bacon omelet. Presentation was aesthetically pleasing. My favorite part was the slabs of melted brie cheese on top! That was divine. I would order that again. For an old diner like this, the service does make a huge difference. We'll be back for sure. read more

It started with a mother's day reservation done more than a while ahead of time, we had reserved for a party of 5 knowing it may be busy. Once we got to the location and checked in we were placed on a separate list where we had to wait at least 30 minutes after our reserved time to be seated. If they cannot fulfill reservations, why do they offer them? Very useless waste of time. We were given a booth with a chair. The chair was in the middle of an accessible aisle. Pretty unsafe, either way, mother's day we tried to be on our best behavior. The waitress came out about 5 minutes and asked us for drinks. 3 coffees, one soda and an endless mimosa, along with waters for the table. She came back a few minutes later with everything except the mimosa for my mother and proceeded to ask us if we were ready to order. We placed our order and she left. No one checked in on us, no one asked if we needed anything, 45 minutes pass and eventually someone comes and asks if we need coffee refills. We remind her of the mimosa to which she says oh and leaves to bring us a glass of OJ and a opened bottle of champagne with no sparkling left. It was a lousy pour for a mimosa. Eventually 10 minutes later we finally receive our food. Unfortunately, they forget about my plate. I ask my family to eat without me and I see a look of weirdness on their face. 7 minutes later they bring my plate and we dig in. The food to me was OK, but my group all received cold food, being mother's day they didnt want to make a scene but defintely came to the conclusion that this place is not the best when it comes to a holiday. They really need to limit the amount of people if they cant handle it. I will not be returning as I am very disappointed with the service and the food. Do better. read more

We were looking for a good hearty breakfast, the few places we chose were already packed with a line. We hadn't been to Mimi's in years, thought to give it another try. We were seated right away which was nice but never greeted by a waitress until 10 minutes later at least we were ready to order. Coffee was average, warm not hot, served with half and half. Our meals didn't take long to come out. He had eggs and ham, good smoke flavor. I ordered quiche Lorraine, once again warm not hot. A good sized portion with home potatoes, onions and tiny peppers. It was tasty, not over salted which I appreciate. Coffee was never refilled nor were we offered condiments. In a pinch we will return. Glad it was clean and busy. read more

She was not only an excellent waitress and hostess, but genuinely the best I've ever had. Her kindness, joyful spirit, and welcoming presence made me feel so cared for from the moment I sat down. Heather was attentive, polite, and professional in every interaction. She anticipated needs before I even voiced them and created an atmosphere that felt warm, relaxed, and uplifting. It's rare to encounter someone who pours so much heart into their work, and she absolutely did. On top of the outstanding service, my breakfast was delicious and full of flavor, an experience made even better by Heather's thoughtful care. She is a true asset to your team, and I'm grateful for the memorable experience she provided. Best Regards Mari read more

Like true Parisian style, you'll need to make a reservation because seating is limited and this spot is quite popular. My boyfriend and I were very fortunate they had a table available when we visited (we didn't know it was reservations-only) but the staff kindly seated us. Next time, I'll definitely call ahead. Right away, you're greeted by a warm and welcoming mother-daughter duo. They patiently walked us through the menu and shared the specials of the day. The chef himself came out to say hello and even took the time to explain a few items we were curious about. Soft French music plays in the background, creating such a calm, inviting atmosphere. *Plain Croissant: A perfect classic. Flaky on the outside, soft on the inside; it's exactly what you'd want from a traditional croissant. I'd come back just for their pastries alone, though this time I was excited to try their savory breakfast items. *Croque Monsieur: Absolutely delicious and wonderfully authentic. I ordered it with ham in the traditional style, and it came with creamy béchamel and melted cheese layered perfectly on top. The portion was generous and satisfying. You can add an egg to turn it into a Croque Madame. This came with a Provençal tomato and a potato pavé on the side, both of which were flavorful and beautifully prepared. The pavé, with its delicate layers, was such a standout. I haven't seen these sides offered at other French restaurants in the U.S., and I'd honestly return just for them. *Machaca Frances: My boyfriend ordered this dish, and it was such a pleasant surprise as a creative, well-executed blend of flavors. The short rib was incredibly tender, paired with potatoes, caramelized onions, and more, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. The fresh pico, sauce, and avocado on top tied it all together perfectly. When my boyfriend mentioned he was eyeing this dish, the chef smiled and said the machaca filling was similar to beef bourguignon, and he was right! It had that same rich, deep, savory flavor. If they ever have actual beef bourguignon on the menu, I'd order it in a heartbeat based on how good this was. *Side salad: This had fresh greens, carrots, and caramelized onions, with oven-roasted tomatoes, and more, drizzled in a rich balsamic reduction.You could tell a lot of effort went into even the salad, and it tied the dishes together beautifully. This café really reminded me of France, which I miss so much. The space is clean, the atmosphere is warm, and you can tell the staff knows their regulars well. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like family as soon as you walk in. Spots like this are rare for both atmosphere and traditional French cuisine, especially around here, which makes Café La Reve feel even more special. I'm already planning my next visit to try their sweet breakfast options and maybe a lunch entrée. I saw in another review that they also offer dinner on Fridays by reservation, something I'm excited to experience soon. Thank you to the entire team for your kindness and hospitality. Café La Reve is a true gem, and I can't wait to come back.

Great wine list but I wasn't drinking so only hubby had a couple glasses of Cabernet. We were really hungry so we decided on quite a few dishes to share. We started with caviar & chips, also their famous seaweed salad. Followed by wild mushroom risotto, mains were bouillabaisse with house made pasta noodles and lamb rack. The dishes came out at the perfect pace and the portions were generous. For desserts we had chocolate molten cake and creme brûlée. The food was very delicious and creative. I really liked the French style food with Asian twists. The service was excellent as well. We will definitely try to come back sooner than later!

I was charmed by our server, who told us that her parents had gone on their first date together at this very restaurant, twenty-some years prior. I had oxtail stew. Simple. Generous portion, in a rich gravy. My son had something akin to poutine.

The Hobbit Where do I even begin?…read more This place is magnificent, spectacular, and truly majestic. Every dish is beautifully created with an incredible level of attention to detail you can feel the care, artistry, and intention behind every course. The chefs here are doing something truly special. This is absolutely a special-occasion restaurant: anniversaries, milestone birthdays, wedding dinners, or a once-in-a-lifetime date night. You will be spending a pretty penny, but that's because this is not an everyday Friday-night dinner spot it's a full culinary experience. If I had the budget, I'd come every week... maybe twice. Dinner is a multi-course tasting experience that begins around 5 PM and carries you through the evening you'll likely be there until 10 PM or later. There's a wine cellar, curated pairings, and an atmosphere that feels intimate, elevated, and deeply intentional. This place is clearly designed for guests with an elevated palate and a true appreciation for the culinary arts and thoughtfully sourced, curated dishes. For just my husband and me, we spent a little over $600 for the evening, and I can honestly say every single dollar was worth it. If you're someone who loves food, storytelling through cuisine, and unforgettable dining experiences, this is a must. You're able to interact with the chefs, the staff is incredibly hospitable and professional, and the entire experience feels warm yet refined. I truly cannot rave enough about this restaurant. I came here for my wedding anniversary, which is very special to me and I have a relatively young child and they were still able to accommodate this alone to me meant the world and for them to be able to accommodate to a small child was incredibly amazing. This is hands-down one of the top dining experiences in Orange County, and it will forever hold a special place in my heart. I will absolutely be returning every year, guaranteed.

A reviewer below wrote the most accurate description of The Hobbit. I'll also chime in with my own…read moreexperience. Booking was easy -I checked the site a day or so before and saw availability. Credit card needed to hold reservation -there's also a $3 service charge from OpenTable. Restaurant opens at 6pm for cocktail hours downstairs in cellar. Each cocktail is $20 and there's a board where people can ham n cheese bites with napkins -but there was a lot of bare hands touching/pulling the food. ..not appetizing at all. Foodwise -every single bite was paired with mediocrity. The overly salted amuse.. overcooked quail on top of a chalky purple yam smear, a too rare filet with a thick grey band (requested medium but this was basically blue). The lobster glazed cod was fishy -poor quality fish it seems. ...Strong flavors that don't complement one another was the theme. Also sat there awkwardly while everyone else was eating desserts. I had to flag down a waitress and ask for my dessert -she replied that there was confusion and something about togo ? I eventually got my dessert -chocolate shell with basically heavy cream -not even ice cream/mousse inside. I was in disbelief the whole meal. Even the plates were hotter than the actual food it held. How is this restaurant considered upscale and classy. It's overly expensive for mediocrity. This is a pretty scathing review and this is unfortunately a second revision, a "nicer" draft... A few of our coworkers raved about this place -might have a word with them next week. Lead astray. I think the bill was $500-$600 ? Would have been happier at Mastros.

My family lived in Paris for a while, so we absolutely love French food. Lately, we've been…read moreobsessed with this place called Bouillon Newport--it's the authentic French bistro in OC. The overall restaurant design replicates the classic Parisian Bouillon style. From what the staff told us, all the dishes are made with fresh ingredients purchased daily, prepared on the spot, and they sell out once they're gone! That's why they're known as "the Best Traditional French Restaurant in OC." The service is also incredibly thoughtful, genuine, and welcoming. Everyone on staff speaks French. This time we tried the Confit de Canard (tender and juicy), Escargots, Leg de Lapin, Beef Bourguignon (the tagliatelle it came with was so flavorful), Steak Frites (served with either pepper sauce or Bearnaise sauce), and the Salmon. Everything was delicious! Even the pre-service bread was amazing. The prices are really reasonable too. Five of us dined for $185, which offers great value for money.
