Great hostess Carla and super waitress Shannon thank you for such wonderful service and table by the fire pit lovely for our first visit there. My sister and niece and myself had such a great time ordering crab cakes and prime rib and their fish meals. Delicious prime rib was the way to go medium rare very tasty with broccoli . The view was outstanding sitting outside was remarkable . With heat lamps and fire pits so lovely. It was cloudy out but an amazing evening with family and view. Valet car service great too thank you. Overall an evening to remember with such great friendly service definitely arriving again ! read more

I came here last weekend for my friend's farewell party since she got a new job and we were celebrating. It was such a classy and beautiful experience from start to finish. They have a banquet hall that is often used for weddings and I am pretty sure there was a wedding going on the same night. The views from the top of the hill are to die for and the whole atmosphere just feels special. The drinks and food were phenomenal and the way everything was presented made it even better. Prices are a little on the upper scale but it is worth it for the experience you are getting. I will definitely come back here and honestly I will find a reason to because it was perfect. read more

Orange Hill Restaurant is one of those iconic places that you need to try at least once. It sits on top of a pretty big hill that overlooks a portion of Orange County and has a beautiful sunset. Perfect for dates, group dinner or just want a nice view while you eat! Keep in mind there's no self-parking as they only provide valet parking and it's best to make reservation just to ensure you have a table when you get there. With that in mind, lets get to the food! FOOD Fried Calamari Appetizer This one was simply addicting. I'm pretty picky when it comes to fried calamari and this one had the perfect crunch, flavoring and the citrus buffalo aioli sauce pairing is simply chef's kiss! Prime Rib I only had one bite sample on this dish as this was my girlfriend's entree, but that one bite definitely ALMOST made me regret on ordering what I had. I think I'll be getting this the next time we visit for sure! Zinfandel Braised Short Rib This was my dish. Another type of food I'm picky with. Ribs tasted pretty amazing but pairing it with the sauce completely amplifies everything and don't even get me started with the mash potatoes. It's just mash potatoes right? How good can it be....let me tell you. These are no ordinary mash potatoes, these can definitely make a grown man shed a tear...not that I did *ahem* anyway, if you enjoy good ribs and good mash potatoes, I highly recommend this dish! OVERALL We had a great time and enjoyed the food. I think we'll be stopping by again and if you're planning to visit this fine establishment, I'd book a reservation and make it towards the time of sunset depending on season as I feel you'd get the full experience. Unfortunately I wanted to give a shout-out to our server but I forgot her name (so sorry) she was super helpful and ecstatic! Great customer service whoever you are that was working during August 17, 2025 around 6:00pm and thank you Orange Hill Restaurant for a delicious dinner! read more

Came here for a wedding and the view was spectacular. The food was good. I really enjoyed the steak but all other sides were not memorable although it was an enjoyable addition. The host was kind when we were greeted but the staff in general never really smiled. Most of the workers looked like they were just doing their jobs to get by. read more

I had the pleasure of attending a gala at Orange Hill Restaurant, and I have to take a moment to recognize Emily for her exceptional service. I'm not typically a fan of chocolate cake, so I asked a few servers if there was any chance of getting a slice of cheesecake instead. Each one kindly said they would check, but unfortunately, no one followed up and nothing ever came. The gala had wrapped up, and I stepped away from my table to enjoy the terrace, assuming it just wasn't going to happen. To my surprise, Emily went above and beyond. She actually came outside to find me and personally delivered a slice of cheesecake. I had already let it go, but she hadn't. Her commitment to follow through and ensure a great guest experience truly stood out. At an event full of activity, Emily demonstrated what outstanding hospitality really looks like. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care did not go unnoticed. Moments like this make a lasting impression. Emily deserves to be recognized for her dedication to excellence. Thank you, Emily, for going the extra mile. I truly appreciate you! read more

I left a voicemail. Never got a call back very expensive restaurant to get food poisoning at. Didn't get a photo of the deviled eggs or the potato Thinking the deviled eggs were old because we were the last table sat that night read more

So we went to the Orange Hill restaurant on Mother's Day and it was upsetting. It all changed. First, they gave an option at the booking to reserve for regular menu. When we got there, turned out there is no such option (and other customers complained about that too), and we must take their Mother's Day special course for $115/person. Or else we were welcome to leave and have the valet fees refunded. We stayed as to not ruin the holiday, and the food was really disappointing. There was a lot of it, way too much, and of such mediocre quality that it was not enticing to take it home. One waiter pushed my friend from behind, and later as she was seated, he put his elbow on her head, then he was apologizing. It looked dirty, they would not clean the used tables, and we would be observing food scraps on leftover plates. They told us they are completely booked and made us wait almost half an hour to get seated, but only about 30% of tables were occupied, all others either dirty or empty. Our waitress was really nice, helpful, and professional, but that was the only good thing about this restaurant. So, this place has changed, sadly, to a very unpleasant one, and even the good view cannot save it. We are very definitely not coming back. What a sad decline! Luckily, there are many other options for a pleasant dining in the Orange County:)) read more

I have attended here twice for corporate events. This place is beautiful, sits on top of a hill so you have an amazing view. The place seems very large with multiple rooms and patio seating. Very limited parking so only valet parking is offered. Environment wise, the place is beautiful. Food wise, not so great. Last year, our steak was very dry and over cooked , even sauced up. This year, the steak was cooked medium rare, and a tasted a little better but still not great. Both years, the steaks look like a chunk of meat. Not appealing at all. The chicken was actually nicely cooked and moist. The veggies and potatoes needed salt, very bland. Also, the salads were very very dry. We asked for more dressing and they gave us a very small side cup that wasnt enough. A lot of salads were wasted. The food makes me never want to come back willingly on my own. Hard to say with service since it was a party. They didn't seem like they wanted to be there. Our plates were sitting on our table for awhile. Took away our champagne glasses when we havent drank it. The cake just sat on the side and people just grabbed them cuz we weren't being served. Didn't even have spoons for us to eat them with. This place would be ideal if food was better. read more

It's been a while since we visited Orange Hill restaurant. We used to come here for brunch or late night drinks before pandemic. Last time was actually during pandemic. They'v just renovated this place so it's more open and very bright now. The Father's Day brunch was fantastic. It's not buffet style but the amount of food we got was like a buffet. We loved the hot seafood platter upgrade and tea sandwiches. My favorites were the wedge salad and crudités. The dessert platter was so good. The service was excellent as usual. Orange hill restaurant still has the best views and service. We will definitely visit again soon! read more

Had brunch here for a birthday celebration, party of 15. The service is the best thing going for this place, in addition to the beautiful outdoor patio and sunset views. The food was good, and the quality and presentation were great. But it wasn't as great tasting as their presentation and menu names. The experience should at least match the food quality and taste. Everything was cooked well. The flavors were just not my preference, which we all know is a subjective thing. Maybe I'll try something else next time. read more

You cannot be seated until your entire party is there, even if you have a family member in the party that needs to eat slightly earlier than everyone and needs to sit down. Lovely overlook of the smoggy city. Good drinks. Not amazing wow I'd come back and get them again, but good. And they have many steak options, but lacks flavor. Not too impressed with the flavor of any of the food. If eating outside just keep in mind the sun will set on your face but it doesn't last long. Inside is nice and a nice bar, but you eat there for the smoggy sunset views. -valet parking only $9 plus give a tip read more

I went to Orange Hill Restaurant to celebrate my birthday on a Monday night. My friend called ahead and made a reservation for 8:00 PM. We specifically requested to be seated outside, but when we arrived, the host told us there would be a 30 to 40-minute wait for outdoor seating. I asked why we even made a reservation if we still had to wait, and the host responded rudely, saying, "Because we're busy." To make things worse, we noticed people without reservations being seated ahead of us. When we were finally seated, the hostess dropped the plates on the table without a word--her attitude was unprofessional and disappointing. I believe management should work on properly training their staff, especially in customer service. (Her name was Semantha.) The one highlight of our night was our server, Alex. He was kind, attentive, and truly the reason I'm giving this place 3 stars because of our server Alex. We ordered the Filet Mignon, which was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. As an appetizer, we had the calamari, which was just okay. We also ordered two cocktails, which took about 20 minutes to arrive--our appetizer came before our drinks! The main reason I chose this restaurant was for the view and ambiance, which truly are beautiful. If I return, it will only be for the atmosphere--not the service. read more

Overall had an amazing time and the food was great. The crispy rice tuna tartare and the calamari were delicious but I felt the calamari had too many veggies mixed in. The prime rib and hanger steak were cook to perfection. The aged burger was my favorite it was so delicious with the bacon onion marmalade. Our server Noel was the best and even brought us a complimentary dessert. Would definitely recommend this place! Great ambiance read more

Great service yesterday for Mother's Day. Loved the champagne variety and the fixed memo was such a hit at our table. Loved it all.

A perfect place for a special occasion. We called the week before and talked to a hostess about this was a special dinner for my wife's 70th birthday. Just the two of us. But we really really wanted to sit next to the window to watch the sunset. They made it happen! We were able to watch the sunset over Catalina Island . The food matched the view. They did my wife's fillet just right, and I got the bone in ribeye, which was also just right and ended up taking half of that home. We went ahead and ordered two desserts before we found out they were giving us complimentary desserts because of the birthday, so we had a lot more to take home. Service was great all around. Highly recommended read more

We had such an amazing experience last year for Thanksgiving that we decided we would make it a tradition every year. This year was a completely different experience. When we were seated, it took over 30 minutes for us to get water and our drinks we ordered. Our reservation was at 12:30pm and many tables had cleared out after we were seated. This year they offered a hot version of the seafood course for $50 which we ordered. That, was amazing. The shareables course was also delicious. A party of 6 (3 adults and three children) sat down when both of those courses were done and the waitress was extremely attentive to them while we sat. They received water and their drinks right away as well as their shareables and seafood courses. We were finally asked for our entree choices (the only part of the meal you have to make a choice) and those came out quickly. We both ordered the turkey meal. Our table was cleaned off before the entrees came and my mom's napkin was taken. A hostess was walking by and my mom asked for a replacement napkin. Kara, I am told was her name was extremely rude. She said, "you need to ask your server I am seating guests". The way she said it and her extreme attitude was the issue. Facial expression included. It's like we asked her to work all day with no pay. She could have simply said something along the lines of I'm seating these guests but I'll let your server know, but her attitude was horrible. To be clear, in case I was given the wrong name (because they all were thin dark haired gals with black dresses) she was the one with the lightest hair and it was up with flowers in it. We were so floored as to why she felt the need to be so rude. The dessert course was served pretty quickly as well. I will say the party of 6 were finished just before us and they were sat about an hour plus after us. That was the experience we had last year, it was efficient with nice staff. This year as I said was just not the same but it seemed it was just us. Perhaps the waitress didn't want our table as we were originally being sat outside and asked for an inside table as it was 80 degrees out but if that was the case, they should have told us there was no inside seating. There were four tables around us that were empty in her section. We are debating if we will try again next year or go somewhere else. The food is amazing but when everything else around it isn't, it really affects the entire experience. Lastly, we both used the women's restroom while there within the two hour period and it was filthy. The trash bin and basket were overflowing and there was napkins all over the entire restroom floor. For such a nice restaurant and the price for the meal, the experience was just way below expectations this year. I suggest Kara is provided some training on customer service or perhaps not work on a holiday where it's busy. read more

Orange Hill Restaurant has a gorgeous view of the city. I think that is what stands out the most from this place, if you're lucky enough to sit outside and appreciate the view. Be prepared to pay $9 for valet as that is the only option. That will be $9.50 if you're using a card for payment since there is a $0.50 processing fee. I found the service to be subpar. The host was cold when we checked in. She didn't look up from the tablet when checking us in. It was our first time visiting and the waiter didn't give us any info on the menu as I've had with other restaurants. I did overhear another waiter give his party an overview of some food options and even some information on cocktails. My husband was also disappointed because we were seated inside and when he made the reservation, he requested outdoor seating. We still had a nice view from inside, but he really wanted to appreciate the view from the outdoor seating. We ordered some cocktails to start. I thought the strawberry dreamin' was too sweet and it doesn't feel like there's much alcohol in there. My husband ordered the mariachi. The presentation was beautiful and you get about one and a half drinks worth. You get a burst of fruit flavor that's followed up with a smokey kick from the mezcal. We thought it was excellent. They bring you complimentary cornbread glazed with honey, and some salt and butter on the side. This was a good starter that didn't make us feel overly full. We ordered the smash burger and fries with a side of Mac and cheese. The smash burger was good and quite filling. We ended up taking most of the mac and cheese to go--it's not something I would recommend. For dessert we ordered the cafe con leche. This was delicious! It was a hot cake filled with Dulce de leche (I think), served with cookies and cream ice cream. If you're celebrating something special, they do not comp the dessert. Overall, I think it's a gorgeous place, but I don't think it's worth the money. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration and was overall disappointed. This place is widely recommended in the community for celebrations but the food is just mediocre. The menu is American and Italian influences. To start off, you get cornbread and butter. The cornbread has a southern vibe but it is incredibly dry even with the butter smeared on. I ordered the squid ink bucatina which was $40. It came with a good amount of lobster and shrimp however the sauce was not very good at all. We also got a $16 Caesar salad which was just okay. My husband ordered the $25 burger and a side of Mac and cheese. The burger was not bad. Some pieces were pretty charred and hard. The mac and cheese was probably the best thing we ate. Overall the pictures of the food on their online menu looked way better than what everyone was actually served. The ambience is probably the reason this place is widely recommended. It sits on top of the hill and you get a view of the city and the surrounding neighborhood homes. It is nice to view during the sunset. They require valet parking for $9. The lot is huge but they only let you do valet. There is no other option which is silly in Orange County of all places. This is not even fine dining so I am really confused why they feel the valet is necessary. They also charge a fee if you want to pay the valet with card so bring cash. They have an odd open kitchen layout where the stairs go up towards the kitchen and on one side you can go to exit on the outdoor patio to look at the view, but the other side leads you in front of the kitchen. You can accidentally walk there searching for the exit or bathroom because there is no sign at all explaining this. Staff will yell at you if you make that mistake. Overall an unpleasant experience. Overall, if you are fine with the valet charges and want to enjoy a view then you should go here but I do not recommend this place for food. It is masquerading as a fancy restaurant when all of their food is generic, subpar, and expensive. read more

Orange Hill Restaurant & Events - Squid ink pasta. Sauce was not very good. Skip. - Steakhouses Near Me - Orange, California

The food was good overall. We ordered oysters, fries, and the wagyu zabuton, and everything tasted good. However, the experience was a little bit disappointing. We arrived about 10 minutes early for our reservation but ended up waiting around 45 minutes to be seated. We were surprised because inside the restaurant was pretty empty but we had to wait that long time. We specifically requested an outdoor seat with a good view to see the sunset, but were guided to an indoor table with no good view. Because of the long wait, we missed the sunset entirely anyway. This was our anniversary dinner, so the seating and timing were important to us. While the food was enjoyable, the service and overall experience didn't quite meet our expectations for a special occasion. read more

How did I get so lucky with such a beautiful and smart group of girlfriends?! I have no clue, but I'm so happy I did. I spent a few hours celebrating my BFF who just got her MASTERS degree and Orange Hill was the perfect backdrop for those festivities! Arrived for our 6pm reservation a little early and met the crew at the bar. The bar was the best pre-game ever! We all enjoyed each other before heading to our meal and I think many others had the same idea cause it was a little packed in there. There, I opted for the Paid Vacation. A passionfruit cocktail that was perfect to start out the night. It was a beautiful yellow color and came in the most interesting glass. They topped it with a sichuan bud in it so my tongue tingled when I bit into it. So cool! Ok so the food! Everything was great! But I could jut be biased based on the great company. We had a few bottles of Justin wine for the table - excellent. Bread and butter was warm, delicious and plated wonderfully Brussel sprouts were so so good! The wild mushroom pasta papperdalle and the prime rib (our entree) was to die for! Can't forget the awesome service we had as well. Our server was great! Of course the view was magical! Thats the highlight of the entire place. Perfect for a graduation night (many other graduations there that night also). Such a lovely dinner, with lovely company, celebrating a lovely girl - my best friend. read more

We have been dining here for our anniversary for the last couple of years, and this year was the first time we experienced quite an unfortunate parking situation. Long story short, as we approached the restaurant we noticed a bunch of cars backed up onto the Main Street (Chapman) both from those who turn right and left to enter the street that goes up the hill. Quite frankly, it was beyond disastrous--you had cars blocking the road, someone who actually had the gall to get out to their car that was turning left as I was trying to turn right and stand in front of my car to block my way, and ultimately, as we proceeded about 200 feet up the hill stopped us to say the parking lot is closed and that we could drive about 2 miles to their offsite parking location where a shuttle would take us to/from the restaurant. We then had to turn our car around and head over to the offsite parking lot. Anyway, we get to the parking lot, a shuttle does promptly take us to the restaurant again, but we get stuck in the same traffic at the street light because cars are still entering and exiting the turn-in and Chapman. All in all, from when we first got stuck in traffic to actually getting to the hostess was about 40 minutes. From an efficiency perspective, there are several ways they could work to mitigate this issue: 1) preemptively call those who had a reservation like us and warn us 2) Station the valet folks at the base of the street to turn people away and direct them to the offsite lot BEFORE we turn in and get stuck in a loop and waste time, only to turn around. 3) Provide priority to the shuttles to turn in/out and go up the hill--we are spending time getting stuck in the same entry traffic as everyone else. All of that said, the service recovery was excellent--without asking, we did have a few items comped off our bill, equal to about 20%, which I do think is adequate for the pain of our experience (we didn't say anything to anyone about this). That said, this does give us pause about our future desire to come back, because the handling of the traffic flow is quite a disaster. As usual, our meal was great, although the lobster tail did not taste as fresh as it usually does. Drinks are excellent as always. Our waitress was also amazing-courtesy, professional, attentive! read more

We celebrated my bf birthday here. We got seated outside patio in the late afternoon, sun was out but not too hot. Luckily they had umbrellas to keep us shaded. We ordered drinks at the bar while we waited for our seats. I got the If you like Ube Coladas - it tasted more like pineapple too me but there's a taste of Ube. It tasted good though didn't taste the alcohol so could be dangerous lol. My bf ordered a nonalcoholic drink called Freckles. He really enjoyed it. For appetizers we got the caviar frites and crab cake. Crab cake was delicious and caviar frites was okay. The frites was just like fries with little some caviar spread out and little sauce. My bf even asked for a side of ketchup since the topping was so little lol. I get it is caviar but maybe put less fries or more sauce or something. They gave us complimentary corn bread. I wasn't a big fan, didn't really taste like corn bread to me. But it was free so we ate it especially since we were hungry and it was the first thing that came out. For entrees, my bf ordered the Miso Marinated Chilean Sea Bass. The fish was a little dry and the rice was sweet. He said it was an interesting combo. I ordered the roasted prime rib - medium. I think it was a little over medium however I didn't mind I'm not a fan of too pink/red meat. The prime rib had lots of flavor, I enjoyed it but I just couldn't finish it all. We were so full we didn't order dessert but our waitress was super sweet and bagged a birthday dessert for my bf and it was super cute. I looks like a chocolate brownie or cake. & I think the main reason you go here though is for the view. It was a nice view. We went during a very sunny time so it wasn't the best time of day. It much nicer like a sunset or night time but regardless still great sight for dinner. We've been here multiple times already mainly for special occasions and we will probably be back again. read more

Did a late Father's Day dinner here. Set up a 4pm reservation and we were among the first to check in and sit down/order. Promising start to dinner, with fresh corn bread / appetizers coming out quickly. But then entrees took exactly 1 whole hour to come out. Ordered at 4:18 and food came out at 5:18. We came in before it started to get too busy. Seems like the long wait is due to kitchen making several tables worth of orders at once. So minus one star for that. Despite the long, long wait, the food was quite good and the overall ambiance was great. Valet was $9 and speedy service. read more

Great food, though it took some time (don't know if it was purposeful - like for us to spend more time) because we were there basically opening so not as crowded. Staff was great and helped us in many ways, like taking photos. Valet does cost $9 or you uber; no other options. read more

Yikes. It takes a lot for me to give an establishment 1 star. So buckle in for this one... Let's start off with its valet only. $9 or $9.50 if you use card. I checked in right on time for my reservation. Two parties showed up after me. The two parties were sat before me. I waited about 15 minutes from my reservation check in time to actually be seated. What's the point of a reservation if I'm still waiting and others are sat before me? The girls working as the hostess definitely give stuck up vibes. Extremely unfriendly! They barely looked up from their iPad to talk to you. No greeting, not even a subtle hello. I was pretty surprised considering how "fine dining" or upscale this place is suppose to be... you'd think the employees would act the part. I was seated on the patio and still waited... I kid you not, another 10-15 minutes for a server to appear. It was NOT busy at all. It was a very quiet Sunday here! What's with the lag? Anyways we ordered, got our food and whatever. I didn't realize-- which is my own mistake-- that it was a brunch only menu on Sunday. That def killed it for me. I wasn't expecting brunch items at 245pm... either way I ordered the hangover hash. The hangover hash was just okay. I wasn't the biggest fan with the sauce or flavor of the meat. The only good thing is that the short rib was actually tender. They give a heaping bed of potatoes for sure. Maybe the hangover part is you filling up with carbs. As an appetizer I ordered the calamari which I will admit is pretty good. One of my top calamari spots for sure. It's battered and fried perfectly and it's got a nice kick to it. The sauce accompanying it is also just, mwah, chefs kisses. Now the really bad downside about siting on the patio is that there's BUGS. Everywhere. There's tiny little black ones that'll be crawling on your arms or legs without you even realizing. Then there's a bigger kind of fly that is very much attracted to sugar so there was a fly that fell into my father's rosé. I never saw the bill to know whether or not they charged him a second glass for that. I'd hope not. But bring your little starters to help seat away all the bugs and flies. Service was still underperforming while we waited long periods of time to be checked in on. There was also random silverware around other tables; which really confused me because how do you clean a table and not check the floor?? It felt really sloppy, the service was horrid, neglectful dare I say. The food was average. None of us were impressed. The filet mignon my dad ordered was overcooked. The only good thing was the calamari. I'd be weary about coming here. I even listed it was a birthday celebration & they didn't do anything for it. Meanwhile a table a few tables down had a whole little dessert + singing. Yikes! Do better Orange Hill. A good view will only take you so far. read more

This was a very easy drive up the hill had a great water, fountain, wonderful views, cozy bar, and good food. We had a reservation on the night that it kept sprinkling on and off which messed up their service and they reservation list.

The food was delicious and the View spectacular. read more
