I wasn't surprised by the prices, but I still decided to pick up some marinated carne asada and chicken thighs. Since I had a bit of a trek back home to Burbank, I asked for some ice, and the owner was kind enough to give us some! After grilling the meats, I have to say, wow, the flavor was absolutely delightful! Definitely worth the visit. If you're in the area, I recommend stopping by for quality meats and friendly service.

This is a beautiful Mediterranean restaurant serving breakfast lunch and dinner, all delicious,…read morewith good coffee and fresh squeezed juices, located in the bustling Aliso Viejo Town Center. For all the restaurants in this center, in my opinion, Fennel is the best dining option if you want a sit down restaurant. Everything I've ordered thus far has been excellent, fresh, tasty, never dry. The service has always been extremely accommodating and the one time I've been disappointed in my original order selling out and having to wait too long for the final dish, they went out of their way to make sure I was given extra fries (which are excellent) and extra things to dip my heaping scoop of hummus into. Don't skip the cocktails, or really any of their handmade drinks. I cannot not get a cardamom latte at brunch, and it's so fun picking which cocktail to get to unwind with whatever dinner entree I go with (usually the salmon bowl). They have large tables so larger groups are welcome. I always see corporate type people having working lunches here, or families out for a nice dinner. This place is almost always quite full, but I still feel like they are slept on and under appreciated.

We went last night and had a great experience…read more To start we ordered the appetizer dips. My favorite was the tzatziki. The eggplant was pretty good too. We also got lentil soup. This was a miss . Very little flavor in the soup and most of the time lentil soup has some lentils blended. This is more of a broth lentil soup. For my main, I got the beef kebabs. It came with rice and some vegetables. I didn't care for the pickled onions and the regular white onions were a little bit undercooked. The meat was a bit drier than most Mediterranean kebabs I've had. We had great service though. We were seated outside so I can't really tell you the vibe. It was packed around 6:00 PM.

My husband and I finally stopped in, and we were definitely impressed! Prices are surprisingly comparable to Costco, which we didn't expect. They have a huge selection of meats, seafood, bratwurst, frozen veggies, fruits--you name it. Even A5 Japanese Wagyu! Everything is frozen, but honestly, if you know how to defrost and cook things properly, it's totally fine. We buy meats at Costco and freeze half of them anyway! Overall, a great spot to stock up on quality proteins and frozen staples. We'll definitely be back.

My family and I had such an incredible experience here for Mother's Day! Our server, Jesse, shared…read morethat their focaccia is a must, they hand-make their pastas and they have a mushroom risotto that's finished in a Parmigiano Reggiano Wheel. I was sold on everything Jesse suggested. For drinks, we shared a bottle of light, crisp Borgo Canedo Sauvignon Blanc, and an Italian style Pilsner called Webb's, which is brewed locally in Aliso Viejo. Focaccia Pugliese & Gluten Free Focaccia were both good! The GF version had more of a light biscuit texture but both had a soft interior with a crisp outer layer. The Basil-Ricotta Spread with pistachio went really well with them too. Insalata Lattuga - baby romaine, lemon, anchovy bread crumbs, Grana Padano cheese with creamy herb dressing - fresh, crunchy and well balanced Mandilli di Seta - very unique handkerchief shaped pasta with lemon cream and pesto drizzle Agnolotti - ricotta and garlic filled pasta with asparagus, spring onion and guanciale - complex flavor profile and textures! The Lasagna and Rigatoni alla Bolognese were classic and authentic. Their bolognese includes beef, pork and veal. Chef Marco came out with the Parmigiano Reggiano Wheel and prepared the Mushroom Risotto in it, mixing all the ingredients and scraping the cheese off the sides while he served it. It was rich, creamy and not too salty. I didn't know the wheel is nearly $1k! We tried all the desserts! Among the Affogato, Gelato, Panna Cotta, Tiramisu and Torta Pasticiotto, the Panna Cotta stood out the most with savory basil infused in the cream with crispy caramelized sugar and pine nuts and fresh strawberry puree. Second runner up was the Affogato for me. The restaurant has a clean, modern design. It's not too spacious inside, but the party of 10 of us sat comfortably in the covered patio area. Service was excellent. The food and drinks came out quickly and bussers were on top of picking up empty plates and refilling water. Aliso Viejo is lucky to have such a special Italian restaurant!

One tip, the sweet spot seems to be groups of four since most of the tables are set up that way, so that's probably your best bet for a shorter wait. Old Fashioned -- Perfect. I loved the smoky flavor; the bartender actually smokes the wood, which really comes through in the drink. Butterball Whiskey in the best way. Super smooth, you almost don't taste the alcohol at all. Feta Cheese Dip -- Surprisingly really good. The feta and tomatoes gave it a rich, umami flavor. Only downside: I wish they gave more bread because we had way more cheese left over. Goat Cheese Empanadas -- Solid. That classic goat cheese tang/funk, but really well done. BBQ Brisket Sandwich -- Just okay. The brisket itself had good flavor, but the bread was a bit too toasted and it felt like something was missing overall. Definitely planning to come back!

Enjoyed our meal last night with Hannah as our server - super friendly and took great care of us. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the fresh air - but weren't cold despite it being a chilly night. Hannah provided great guidance on menu items and was super enjoyable to chat with. Hubby had a Eureka Sour (yum!) and I tried the Liquid Light Sauvignon Blanc (also yum!) - both of which Hannah recommended. (Hannah - I'm going to buy a bottle of my own today!) Hubby had the double smash burger and I had the Napa chicken sandwich. We both enjoyed our food and the overall experience a lot. We've sat inside and out on their huge patio, and we've enjoyed both. Great ambiance at Eureka! Side note - We've also visited the location in SLO a few times and it's equally great!

I had only taken about 2 bite out of it. It sat off to side the entire meal and she came by and looked at us multiple times. She never asked if I liked it or why I didn't eat it. She brought to go boxes and still I never boxed it just left it there. After we paid she finally came by and asked to take the burger. I let her know it wasn't good she could have it and then she apologized said I'm sorry I didn't know. Read the tables and check up on your guests not touching their food.

Nice store. These kinds of small "authentic" markets usually come with a certain... smell and vibe…read more You know the type. This one is nothing like it. Bright, clean, organized - not what I was prepared for when I walked in. It leans Middle Eastern and Russian foods, and there's a solid variety of stuff you don't normally see at the bigger chains. Actually feels like a place you can take your time and look around without wanting to rush out. Fruits and vegetables have very competitive pricing compared to places like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods Market, which is rare. Usually you get either "interesting selection" or "good prices," not both. Jordan's on my regular rotation grocery run rotation now. If you're nearby and want European or Middle Eastern groceries without dealing with a run-down spots that smell like rotten meat - give it a try.

Great Boars Head meat selection too. Awesome hummus and many different kinds of pita bread. I love to get their kebab beef to make at home with a full spread of veggies, hummus, tzatziki, etc

In store, Korean restaurants were great, and unique…read more My wife and I have have had Korean food before, but haven't ever seen many of the food items, before. We had Atoyubu, a brand new experience. Very good. The only negative thing I can mention is that all but most of the restaurant food servers had no English, with the exception of one counter whose server stepped in to help translate and answer questions for us. This server was the iceing on the cake.

I really wanted to like this store and gave it two chances…read more The first time, I bought two boxes of wonton noodle soup -- the same ones I used to get at Costco. I froze them, and when my son heated one up, the broth tasted and smelled like plastic. We opened another, hoping it was a fluke, but it was the same. We ended up throwing all eight bowls away. The second time, we bought a case of coconuts with the pop-top style opening. Which was new for us. After refrigerating them, we tried one -- same issue. It had a stale, plastic-like taste. We opened another a few days later, and it was no different. We planned to return them, but got busy, and now they'll likely end up in the trash too. After two separate experiences like this, I can't afford or justify coming back. Very disappointing.

We've always seen this spot but had never tried it, so we decided to check it out on Mother's Day…read more They were BUSY, but still moved quickly to get the line down. The restaurant itself is pretty small inside, you order first, then they bring the food to your table. Even with how packed it was, the wait honestly wasn't bad at all. My wife, who's pregnant, saved us a table while I waited in line to order, and Fidel, who I'm assuming is the manager, was very nice and welcoming. He checked up on us a few times even though he wasn't our server, and was very personable asking about our baby. The food was AMAZING. I'm so glad we decided to stay. I had the carnitas Benedict, which was delicious and packed with flavor. My wife had the El Chupon burrito, which was also amazing. But the star of the show for us was their hot salsa, incredibly flavorful with the perfect amount of spice We'll definitely be back!

There should be proper seating, where ONCE you order, you go find your table. If you don't get a table then you wait your turn. We ask the staff if we can put personal items to reserve a table and she said yes??? What sort of service is that ?!? They should have a host. Or someone guiding it. The food is rather great but what an unpleasant experience. The manager needs to fix this, cause this isn't a cafe. It's a restaurant.
