Mushrooms, Scallops and Lobster Risotto
Arlene M.

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful restaurant, great service and amazing food. We live in LA county but this restaurant was worth the drive.

A very cute spot for delicious food in Anaheim. Parking can be difficult. We ended up having to park along the street. The restaurant is open air and the majority of the tables are outside with some coverage. The service is great. Everyone was extremely helpful and they made sure everything was made in a way that we were happy with. All of the food that we tried was cooked perfectly. It's not only nice aesthetically, but it also tastes as good as it looks. The portions are fairly large and are good for sharing. They also let us know that a lot of the components of the food are grown in their own garden at their location. The price is a little bit on the higher end but it's definitely worth a try if you're in the area.

The atmosphere is cute, bright, and airy. There's a nice breeze on a March evening and the noise starts off light. We opted for the tasting menu on our reservation (prepaid on OpenTable). Once we arrived, they provided us with drink menus and our tasting menu. The atmosphere is casual but trendy. It's clear there's no sommelier. The answers about both the wine pairings and the zero proof pairings were vague, and the wine fan of our group looked at the small wine list and was wholly unimpressed. Service is friendly but could be tighter. Water went empty. We used the same utensils from start until the last savory dish. No tablecloths or coasters meant our drinks sweat onto the tabletop. They did graciously show you the way to the restrooms and were more than happy to take our group photo. What is impressive are the flavors. Some felt it was slightly under seasoned, but the nuances of flavors and how your paste shifted through each bite was impressive to me. Their food was served hot, but the plates weren't so hot you could burn yourself. Each dish was carefully introduced even with a tasting menu at our table. Bottom line? Come for the flavors, the experience, and don't expect more than their very marketed farm to table, casual elegance. Skip the wine and opt for a cocktail (or mocktail).

Food :4. Ambiance : 4 Service : 4.5 Food presented nicely. Not quite Michelin 1, but close. Food was good . We had 4 tasting menus with wine pairing. The "snacks" were all good. Beef tartare, squash blossom stuffed with ricotta and honey and crispy pork belly. Then was followed by crudo of cod. And then gnocchi. Then duck breast and steak. Dessert was poached pear. $156 per tasting. Wines $65 each. Wines were mostly whites. And 2 reds. Dessert was the weakest by far. The proteins were good. Gnocchi was a bit heavy and salty sauce. The duck was perfect. Overall, service staff was a bit young and did not know much about the wines. That's fine since the pairing was quite affordable. Tighten up your service, get more interesting wines and cut your portions. And you will do great! Bon appetit

Why was it like im in a cute little park? Poppy and seed is place in the Anaheim packing district plaza, placed on the other side of the block with the park in between. I came here for a birthday and our server Breanna was amazing! We had photo ops and many recommended plates, which we all ended up ordering. And boy was Breanna right about the food, I ordered the chicken and waffles and the breading was amazing on the chicken. The waffles are sooo good crispy but very soft. Overall the service was amazing and the food was great, its an overall aesthetic restaurant you should definitely try.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Me and group of friends stopped by to get some drinks and snacks. The decoration was nice. Very cozy design for date night or quiet hang out. We just got a few drinks and some appetizers since we had big meal prior. Will repeat.

Nice setting and environment. Small I door glass house dining room and bar with an extended patio, Thank God for heaters, bring a jacket if you're dining here in the winter, just in case the heaters aren't enough. Efficient service by friendly staff. Was taken a back when they cleared the appetizer plates and not offered to clear the silverware as well rather placing them in the table, at these prices? It felt cheap. I've been wanting to come and try this location for a while, unfortunately it tends to be usually a Monday after work and they aren't open. Sad to say food was a little disappointing. The menu reads amazing, hanger steak (my favorite), duck breast (another favorite), diver scallop, lobster risotto, so many options. Selected the hanger steak for myself and had a chance to taste everyone's dishes. Sad to say of all the main courses the only one I liked (not loved) was the risotto. The steak was in the rough side and sliced too thick with an odd platting, fingerling potatoes and greens all over the place. The duck breast was lean and also tasted like ham and missing all the richness that I love from duck. The bread pudding was good and so we're the non alcoholic beverages. I'm sad a place I've been so looking forward fell short.

Personalized menu for our group!

Perfect venue for a holiday party! Our party of 9 had a private patio with plenty of heaters to keep the temperature perfect on a chilly evening. Restaurant looks like a glass greenhouse next to the Packing District. If you don't want to deal with parking there is valet parking behind the restaurant and a free parking garage on Broadway. Our group had the 9 course chef tasting menu plus our generous host ordered a few extras for the table. The menu waiting for us on the table was personalized which was a nice touch! Our waitress was fantastic and did a great job with our group. We kept the food on one bill but she took care of separate bar tabs for our cocktails. Everything we had was excellent. Courses were spaced out with perfect pacing allowing us to eat without being rushed and never waiting long for the next course. I won't write reviews for everything we ate but there wasn't a single bad course. The crowd favorites were the pork belly and the wagyu steak. Cocktails were pricey but were very creative made by very skilled mixologists! Everything about our night was 5 stars all the way. Thank you Bob and Ruth for an Epic Christmas dinner with friends!

BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN + WAFFLE Honey butter, maple syrup  FRENCH FRIES
Keabreone B.

Such a cute little spot in an equally cute area. Parking is a bit limited, so if you're coming for brunch I'd recommend arriving earlier. They do offer valet--$9 cash or $10 card--which is honestly worth it. The space itself has the sweetest greenhouse vibe and feels cozy and welcoming. The staff was nice and pleasant (not overly chatty), which I appreciated. Drinks were okay, but you can honestly skip them and focus on the food. BROWN BUTTER WAFFLE This waffle is elite. Crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, with a deep, nutty brown-butter flavor that comes through in every bite. The honey butter melts right into the waffle, and the maple syrup isn't overly sweet--it just ties everything together perfectly. I've been thinking about this waffle since Saturday and would come back for this alone. BUTTERMILK BISCUIT Warm, tender, and slightly flaky with a rich buttery flavor. The house seasonal jam adds a bright, fruity contrast, while the honey butter makes it feel indulgent without being heavy. The sausage gravy was okay, smooth and mild, but the biscuit truly stands on its own and doesn't need it. FRIED CHICKEN The two wings I got were shockingly juicy, crispy, well-seasoned skin on the outside and incredibly moist on the inside. Not dry in the slightest. The chicken was so tender it practically fell apart, and yes, it was messy in the best way. Easily some of the juiciest fried chicken I've had. FRENCH FRIES Perfectly crisp on the outside with a soft, fluffy center. Lightly seasoned, golden, and completely addictive. I kept asking myself what cut or brand they use because these fries were that good. Overall, this is a fantastic brunch spot with standout food, a great atmosphere, and a cozy neighborhood feel. I'll absolutely be back! Especially for that waffle.

Decent chop.
Daniel M.

Went here for a large bday party for a friend. I really dig the ambiance here. Lots of outdoor space next to the packing district and a separate room outside in a covered space to greet friends. The bread here is really good and they give you three different types of butters. I ordered the pork chop. I'm a smoking meat cooker at home. The flavor of the pork was overall okay. It was a bit dry. Everyone ordered different items on the menu. My favorite was the trio of lamb. The lamb chop was perfect. Easily the best dinner entree I tried. All the other entrees are also high quality. So are the drinks. Really friendly staff. Literally spoke with the waiters for awhile and they gave us advice on where to spend the rest our night. I would award five starts but the pork. Everything else was perfect.

Aalia S.

I went again in a large group and had great service. I ordered the short rib hash and that was delicious and Very filling. I just wish there was a little bit of acid or something to break up the heaviness. It's a very cute restaurant and we had a great time.

Located by the Anaheim packing district there is parking however if its tough to find you can valet for about $10 or use uber/lfyt to get there. I recommend making reservations prior. You can choose a la carte but everything looked so tasty we went for the prefix menu. If I had to go again and did not choose a prefix menu, I would get the following: STUFFED SQUASH BLOSSOM ricotta, herbs, truffle honey SMOKED PORK BELLY persimmon, B&B chili, fennel, greens, mint, cilantro, green onion ...... STEAK TARTARE caviar, cured egg yolk, charred eggplant puree, herbs, DINNER YELLOWTAIL KINGFISH CRUDO charred avocado, fennel, dill, chili, citrus-coconut sauce I tavola POTATO GNOCCHI chanterelle mushroom, bloomsdale spinach, garlic, parmigiano reggiano, truffle, butter sauce ALASKAN COD bean ragu, giardiniera, spanish chorizo sauce SMOKED DUCK BREAST (yes its gamey and not my favorite) crispy rye crepe, fig, soft herbs salad, pickled chili & shallot, red wine jus .....* AMERICAN WAYGU HANGER STEAK (i am a meat eater and the mushrooms were the star compared to the steak-the meat was a bit on the salty side) sunchoke, confit maitake mushrooms, parsley gremolata,smoked beef jus TOASTED MARSHMALLOW & CHOCOLATE brown sugar tuile, salted caramel gelato was delicious The ambiance was perfect for an intimate dinner. We sad outside with the fresh herbs and firepits. They have indoor seating but it seemed loud and more crowded together

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?

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… Read more

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.

What other better place to celebrate our friend reunion at a place called "Reunion"? ;)…read more We were looking for a good brunch place to try out and found this place near Corona. Parking: I had no problem finding parking spot as the lot is huge and shared with many other businesses. Interior: We were seated right away without any wait time as we arrived when they just opened. We were seated in a dark area of the restaurant (think bar vibe) so I was a little not sure at first. Most brunch places I went to were always filled with sunlight and bright colorful interiors. This place embraced a classic, quiet feel, something like a Steak House would have. Service: Our server's name was Susan I believe, who was nice and attentive through the whole meal, despite the crowd slowly built up and filled the restaurant. She never failed to check back on us, not just once but twice and refilled our water. She probably isn't as familiar with the brunch menu favorites but seem to know more about the Main menu. The General Manager came out and greeted us because most of their customers are regulars and it's uncommon to have first timers like us visiting. This nice hospitality made us feel very warmly welcomed and impressed. Food: I couldn't decide whether to go with the Slow braised beef on the brunch menu (braised beef benedict) or the main menu but ended up going with the Main menu to get a good portion size. It was a perfect choice because the beef is just amazing. It was cooked to a soft perfection, well seasoned, the roasted vegetable was also cooked just right and not super raw/ crunchy like other places. Then the star of the show arrived - the butter cake. As Susan suggested, this is their most popular dessert and I can see why. The butter cake comes piping hot with the ice cream on top. There's a nice sugar crunchy feel near the bottom of the cake. It's so delicious that I want to come back just to eat this cake. We had a great time overall and would love to come back.

We ordered the scallops and the cheeseburger -- $36 for three scallops with rice and $26 for a mediocre burger and fries felt really overpriced for the quality and portion sizes. Unfortunately, the whole experience felt more like a rip-off than a special night out. I don't think I'd return, and I probably wouldn't recommend it to friends.

It has this dark but classy aesthetic and I was not prepared for that (in a good way). This restaurant has been here for about 2 years with different ownership and menu so I was excited to see what they had to offer. Hugo helped us with our order and he was very friendly and professional. We went ahead and ordered the ahi tuna taco, pork belly bao, garlic fries, the margharita pizza, the yuzu lobster pasta, and for drinks I got the virgin burning thyme. My friend got that and other drinks as well. Ahi tuna taco - 5/5 probably the best food item for the evening. The tuna was fresh, perfect amount of kick in its sauce, and the outter shell was perfectly crunchy. I think them replacing the shell with wonton was exceptional with the texture. Every bite was extremely satisfying. Pork Belly bao - 4/5 everything was delicious. The bow itself is bouncy and moist. There wasn't anything special about the sauce inside with the pork belly, but I would definitely give it a try at least once. A great portion with your friends or family as an appetizer. Garlic fries - 3/5 It was a bit underwhelming, but nothing horrible. I could not taste the garlic at all, but the fries itself was cooked to perfection with the outer being pretty crispy and inside being soft. Margharita pizza - 4/5 I really like the crust and the breading of this pizza. It was crispy and the pepperoni was cooked to perfection. I really like the small pepperoni because it gives an immense amount of flavor in each bite. The cheese and the tomato sauce was fine, but nothing special. Yuzu lobster pasta - 4/5 I wish I was able to taste more of the Yuzu since that's in the name of the dish, but I could not. If it was just called the lobster pasta I would say it's amazing. The tomatoes were perfect to lighten the entire dish with the heavy sauce and the pasta. The lobster was cooked fine. Other than that it was fine, but I would say either enhance the Yuzu flavor or remove it in the name of the dish. Burning thyme - 4.5/5 I really like the acid and the balance of sweetness and sour in this drink. Usually, I get skeptical when I make an alcoholic drink version because the bartender tends to over sweeten the drink, but this was not the case, and I enjoyed it a lot with our food.

The tasting featured a great lineup of green and yellow Chartreuse paired with small bites. It concluded with a complementary Chartreuse-based cocktail from one of five recipes. Brand ambassador Taylor guided the event and began by telling us about the unique history of Chartreuse. The tasting started out with a small spoonful of Vegetal Elixir Chartreuse to warm up the palate. This is the base spirit of both green and yellow Chartreuse and clocks in at 138 proof. It was surprisingly not harsh, but immediately kicked my salivary glands into overdrive. I didn't even know that vintages of Chartreuse was a thing, but Taylor walked us through tasting three different vintages of both yellow and green Chartreuse, and it was surprising how different they were. The lineup concluded with more rare varietals of the green elixir 1605 and yellow cuvee. Great job, thanks Taylor! Chef Kling presented each small bite which included a crispy Icelandic cod, a roasted beet crostino, and a lamb slider. All of them had a five star list of ingredients and were delicious. Strong Water is known for their excellent cocktails, but their food is also great. For my cocktail at the end of the event, I had the Bar Flower (Green Chartreuse, Crème de Cacao, Pineapple, Lime). This was so good, with the herbal and chocolate flavors perfectly balanced. It was served with a flaming lime half. This was such a great event! Chartreuse retails for around $100 a bottle, and the higher-end varieties cost even more. At just $45 per person, this event was an amazing bargain. Strong Water frequently hosts great events, so keep an eye on their social media for upcoming dates. I really love Chartreuse, so I went back a few days later on the last day of Chartreuse week to try a few of the other limited time cocktails. I started out with their twist on a Grasshopper (Chartreuse, Crème de Menthe, Chili Liqueur, Crème de Cacao, Cream, Cane, $22). This was a great classic Grasshopper, but the Chartreuse added a herbal complexity, and there is a dash of heat on the finish from the chili liqueur. Next I had the Flare Gun (Yellow Chartreuse, Overproof Rum, Italian Bitter, Lime, Cane, $20). The yellow Chartreuse definitely comes through, but it's softer and has a light sweetness, unlike the green variety. Even though it contains overproof rum, it is perfectly balanced and not boozy at all. I usually don't like bitter drinks, but the bitterness was at a perfect light level. I finished off with the Tales from the Black Lagoon which is my favorite drink here, and it's also a favorite of many of the bartenders. All three cocktails were a home run. Chartreuse is an expensive spirit, so those drinks cost a little more than average. Shout out to Karen, Joey, Edgar, Jordan, and Ying for excellent hospitality, as always. Strong Water is our favorite place. We can't wait to go back!
