Food is excellent Ambience is great, we were there on a Thursday and sat on the backyard, it's beautiful and you are surrounded by actual plants they use for cooking. My only observation is the bar next door had a loud person on a microphone and they could be mindful of other businesses and patrons . Despite the loud neighbors , the food was amazing, loved the kale and sweet potatoes, our entrees were delicious and so it was the dessert. Nice touch with a candle since we were celebrating our anniversary

Head in the Clouds
Karen C.

I had a pleasant time brunching at Poppy & Seed. It's located next to the Anaheim Packing District and their outdoor patio is so beautiful. We were able to secure a reservation at 11:15 on a Saturday a couple days prior. Parking can be tricky depending on the time you arrive, but at around the time of our reservation, I saw some street parking. We had some business in the Anaheim Promenade earlier, so we parked in the structure and did a brief walk over (less than 5 minutes) to Poppy & Seed. They have a lot of drink selections on the menu and even have plenty of options for those that don't drink, such as zero proof cocktails, beers, wines, tea and other beverages. Here is what we tried: Smoked Pork Belly Salad - $22 10/10 recommend! The pork belly was super smokey~ There's about 5 pieces of bite sized pork belly so makes it easy to share! Loved the touch of chicharrones to give the salad a crunchy texture. It's definitely very pork forward salad. Short Rib Pastrami Hash - $32 Definitely worth a try! It's nice that there are two separate potato brick hash so makes splitting with two a lot easier. I do wish there was a little more smoked beef jus to make the dish a little more moist, maybe offer a little bit on the side, considering the brick hash is super fried and doesn't have much moisture. Mushroom Toast - $25 Mushroom lovers, this one is for you! Plenty of mushrooms in the dish and I liked that it also included eggs to make it a more filling meal. Head in the Clouds - $17 I was debating between this drink along with Garden Party and Carnaval and our hostess said Head in the Clouds was hands down the best out of the three. I was initially concerned if it was going to be very coconut forward drink as I'm not a huge fan but can tolerate it. She offered to make the drink more lavender forward, or that she could ask the bartender to make as is and adjust it later. I ordered it as is and did not need any adjustments. Very smooth and pretty drink. Divintea - $7 It's a black tea with apple, cinnamon, cloves, cardamon, orange slice. We might have steeped it in the water for too long so it became a little bitter. Could taste hints of the apple, but not overwhelmingly strong. Overall great dining experience and fantastic service. Our server came to check up on us regularly so we never felt like we were waiting on food or the check. Pretty curious about their dinner menu after our brunch experience and I'm sure the place will be even prettier at night.

Unfortunately extremely mediocre. We made a brunch reservation for a birthday surprise and decided on this restaurant after seeing so many people recommending it. The restaurant was very pretty, you're basically dining in a green house. However, it can get pretty hot since the sun will be shining directly onto you. The staff were very nice and accommodating. The only thing was the food. Nothing stood out, it was very basic. I ordered the scramble which had an egg omelette with bacon, spinach and cheese, side of salad, and two sourdough toast. Such a simple dish was priced at $24, and that was pretty standard for most dishes ranging from $22-$30. We were a party of 7 and somehow the bill came out to over $300+. It's not that it's particularly expensive but it just wasn't worth that price. I would gladly pay $50 for quality ingredients like truffle, but for these dishes... I don't know. I do like the environment and the ambiance, but I just don't know if I would go back for something I can make so easily at home than pay $40+. Also, parking can be a nightmare. We just gave up and paid for valet parking for $10.

Step into a glowing glass box of culinary magic! This adorable spot serves up some of the most exquisite, farm-to-table deliciousness you will ever taste. From the very first handcrafted cocktail to the crisp appetizers, mouthwatering entrees, comforting sides, and sublime dessert, every single bite and sip was an absolute dream. At the heart of it all are Chef Michael and his wife Kwini--truly two of the loveliest hosts you will ever meet. Their passion shines through in every detail, delivering an extraordinarily inspirational menu that easily stands among the best meals we have ever had. Do not miss this gem!

Chilaquiles with Short Rib Pastrami
Sharon G.

Cute brunch spot in Anaheim. My party of 5 sat outdoors and enjoyed our experience! The menu is farm to table and our waiter showed us where they grow their herbs and some veggies. I got the chilaquiles which was yummy, not too oily as well!

Extremely disappointed with both the food and customer service. I ordered the ceviche, which was advertised on the menu as containing pineapple, bass, shrimp, and scallops. However, the dish I received only contained shrimp. For the price, I expected to receive what was actually advertised, and I found this to be extremely misleading. When I brought this to the manager's attention and requested a discount, she refused because I had already eaten the dish. What frustrated me even more was that she acknowledged the menu was incorrect and stated that they would need to go through and review all their menus. My question is, why did it take a customer pointing this out for management to recognize the issue? And if the restaurant acknowledges that the menu is inaccurate, why should the customer still be expected to pay full price for something they didn't receive? I wasn't asking for a free meal, just a reasonable adjustment for a dish that was not as described. Instead, my concern was dismissed simply because I had eaten it. Overall, the ceviche was absolutely not worth the price, and the lack of accountability from management made the experience even more disappointing. I left feeling like customer satisfaction was not a priority. Unfortunately, I would not recommend ordering this dish or spending your money at this establishment.

Dessert menu that night
Mark L.

One of the best meals I have ever had in my life. I took our Board of Directors for the Association I work for to Poppy and Seed, and there was not a morsel of food left on a plate by any of us. Everyone ate everything that landed in front of them. Including the appetizers and desserts ordered. 3 Apps & 4, one of each, dessert. They were unique and fabulous. David S. was so attentive as our server, and the rest of the staff were on the spot. I would go back any day to enjoy the experience. Even the drinks ordered from the house menu were special and unique. Go there if you get a chance. Even the plants are part of the rich experience. Ask about them.

My husband and I were looking for a spot to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The restaurant could be fun for a date night or girls night but I personally wouldn't recommend for celebrating a special occasion. We arrived on a weeknight, it wasn't busy and quite empty. There were two people who got seated immediately before us. We waited awhile and almost left before someone else eventually came and sat us at a table. We shared an entree, an appetizer, and two mocktails for around $100. The food is farm to table and tasty. The portions are on the smaller side and while we personally preferred that, it seems quite pricey for the amount of food you're receiving. Our server and the person who seated us were friendly. The ambience is pretty nice and set in a greenhouse. Overall was a decent experience but probably won't be coming back anytime soon.

Poppy & Seed is a must-visit if you're in the area. The restaurant has a clean, upscale atmosphere with a thoughtfully designed décor that creates the perfect setting for everything from a casual dinner to a date night or special occasion. The vibe is welcoming without feeling overly formal. The service was top-notch. Our server, who also bartends, went above and beyond. He knew the menu inside and out, made excellent wine pairing recommendations, and truly elevated the entire dining experience. The food was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully plated and packed with flavor. The duck was cooked perfectly, the scallops were delicious, and the beet salad was fresh and creative. The yams and Brussels sprouts combination was absolutely fire and one of the highlights of the meal. This is the kind of food you talk about long after you leave. I'm honestly mad at myself for not posting this review sooner. Poppy & Seed delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish, and we will definitely be back again. Highly recommended.

Margarette L.

such a cute brunch spot for ambiance and vibes. Perfect place to catch up with friends, celebrate birthdays, or just romanticize your brunch plans lol. The food was okay -- not bad at all, but personally not something I'd go out of my way to come back for. I actually celebrated my birthday brunch here last year and the atmosphere definitely carried Still super pretty though if you're looking for a nice brunch spot for photos + vibes.

Party of 7. Celebrated Mother's day here a day early (Saturday). We got seated in the patio outside court yard. Our waiter provided us waters while we reviewed the menu. Ordered cocktails and beer. All arrived in a timely manner. It was refreshing. Drinks were good. I ordered Ceviche and some spaghetti along with other main entrees that were on the menu. Spaghetti was alittle salty. The ceviche was good. The food was mostly delicous. Overall our stay here was pleasant. We sat in the patio area that provided umbrellas to reflect the heat from the sun. It was definitely a warm day. Decor was nice. The thing I must warn you about is sitting in the patio area.. do not wear white shoes. The Gravel mixed with rocks and dirt will get your shoes dirty. Try not to move your feet if you are wearing white shoes. The food was pricey. Everything starts at $20 plus. Going back to the spaghetti, the entree was $27. I literally had five bites using the fork and the plate was clean! Meaning I did not get my money's worth. Entrees are good but willl feel like you just got short changed. The service was good. Our waiter did an exceptional job. I Just dont agree with the portions being served. It was quiet small for the dollar amount being paid If you are on a diet and are not on a budget. This place is for you! Overall, good ambiance. Private setting and clean restrooms Parking is terrible! Good luck. This place gets packed since it is within the premises of the anaheim packing district.

Mother's Day Menu
Carrie Z.

1 out of 5 for food sanitation I'd been wanting to try this place for a long time, and Mother's Day brunch finally felt like the right occasion. At $85/person, it fell short of expectation. The good: the staff was wonderful, and you can tell a lot of effort went into putting together an ambitious buffet spread. The bad: the outdoor food area had a real sanitation problem. Flies were constantly landing on exposed food: bread, salad, shrimp, you name it. It was hard to eat anything out there in good conscience. The indoor station had a fly fan (smart!), but the selection was just crackers and dessert and the cheese was completely gone 1.5 hours before the brunch even ended. This should have been a special, stress-free experience. Covered food stations or moving the spread indoors would go a long way. I really wanted to love this place. Hopefully they take the feedback seriously for future events.

Cilantro but chic Old fashioned
Jennifer G.

Fun space. The greenhouse glass building & all the outdoor seating with heaters made for a nice area to dine. The garden around the perimeter was cool to see & they use all those herbs & plants in their dishes. The server was nice and attentive. Explained the menu & how the service would be for the evening. Order everything at one time then it comes out as courses. We ordered & shared an item from each section. Starter, pasta, side & main. Food was very well done & presented beautifully. The drinks were large. The okd fashioned was filled to the brim & the cilantro drink was in a large glass as well.

Ask the Community - Poppy & Seed

Have a 230 reservation on a Sunday but they close at 3. Does the kitchen stay open or will we be rushed to order and Leave?

Yes.

Is there any vegan options?

None

Are youDog friendly?

They let me bring my small dog on the patio before, but they didn't seem to have a clear policy, so they just said, "she's a service dog, right?" There's actually a California law passed in 2012 that allows dogs on outdoor patios at restaurants, but… 

Is there a tasting menu or prix fixe menu?

Prix fixe but they push you to turn it into a course so they space out the dishes as they come if that makes sense.

What is the parking situation?

They have valet parking and there's also street parking.

Is there any vegan / non daily dinner dish?

Even if there is not on the regular menu they are incredibly accommodating. If you're concerned I'd call in advance and talk to them about your needs.

Baby and kid friendly?

Yup!!

Are pets allowed in the patio area?

Service animals only currently.

We were there on Sunday, October 3rd around 3pm. We asked who the owners were because we were really impressed with the place and thought they might be the same owners as another location we had visited. There was absolutely no bad intention behind the question. The male bartender told us that no one name drops anymore. I understood what he was saying and was more than willing to move on. But then I asked him if the bar offered whiskey sours and he responded, "You really don't know what you're doing here and what you want." I was honestly so taken back by that comment. I don't normally stay quiet when someone speaks to me disrespectfully, but I was so caught off guard that I didn't even know what to say. Before that, he had also yelled out to the host that she didn't need to worry because we didn't know the owners and that she could relax. The whole interaction was completely unnecessary and made us feel very uncomfortable. We came in wanting to enjoy the atmosphere and have a good time. Instead, we left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. There is a way to speak to customers, even if you feel they are asking questions you don't like. We did nothing to deserve that kind of attitude. The Blind Rabbit may be a great place, but unfortunately, the way we were treated by this bartender completely ruined the experience for us. Customer service matters, and unfortunately, ours was extremely disappointing.

The apple molasses glaze, baked apples, and chive oil brought this dish to another level. The beet salad was large enough to be split and should not be discounted. This was a truly fantastic salad with cheese, an orange vinaigrette with tangerine slices. The flavor was not overpowering, but light and refreshing.

Palomas weren't on the menu, but the team was happy to make them for me and I appreciated that. The clam chowder was tasty, with more of a tomato bisque style. A manager stopped by to explain it, which was a thoughtful touch. We don't usually order dessert, but tonight we went for the New York cheesecake, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything we had was so good. We truly enjoyed our date night and highly recommend The Ranch for a special evening or celebration. We will definitely add this place to our date rotation.
