Fish tacos two days ago were swordfish and so good we came back again tonight and although I'm tempted to try other things, really want the tacos again! It's a smaller, casual place that we visit every time we come here to see our daughter. read more

Me and my bestie came here for fun. Delish!! I somehow ate my entire burger and fries!! Had some of her tuna melt. It was also very flavorful. Came in the middle of the day so it wasn't busy. Fast service and our waitress even said we looked so young! Thanks! Haha we would come back if we lived closer! read more

I loved the food, and the service was okay. However, the music was far too loud--it felt like it was on full blast. The waiter had trouble hearing us, and we could barely hear each other without raising our voices. read more

SOOOO RANDOM!!! Ok who would have know that this little breakfast nook with Yellow Umbrellas would be home to the best......... wait for it .... Drumroll...... BISCUITS AND GRAVY(Babbyyyy) yes I said it and please challenge me... weather it's me or my mother in law, if biscuits and gravy are on the menu menu then at least one of us is trying it... and this time it was her!!! And we hit the JACKPOT BABY! Ok, sautéed red peppers bacon and wait for it Bacon... all in a classic gravy sauce on soft buttery biscuit.... Look you can just put potatoes in anything and to be honest if I would have know prior that it had that, I would have instantly said naw maybe next time.... But to my surprise it was perfect, they were soft honestly at times thought it was extra biscuit.... Any way that's enough biscuit rant! Got try this place and find something maybe you would like (poke nachos hint hint) WE LOVE SUMMER HOUSE! read more

Summer House - First timers!! - New American Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

After a first time visit to Sherman Library & Gardens- looked for a nearby place to have lunch and found this gem in Corona Del Mar. There are outdoor tables with umbrellas as well as seating inside a really cool cottage/ beach vibes home. Pretty cool. Was greeted and told they'd get a table ready for our large group. For coming in on a busy Saturday at 2pm- I was pleased with the shorter wait time. Our server was Pedro aka Superman. And he was awesome- considering he was on his own!! Now for the most important part: the food ;) For an appetizer we ordered their spinach and artichoke dip with chips. It was delicious and looked really fresh and well made. I ordered their albacore tuna melt with sweet potato fries. It comes with a long half pickle and a side of their orangy sauce (that has a nice kick!) my choice was delightful! Some of the other things ordered were their bacon avocado cheeseburger and regular cheeseburger with fries- both delicious and tasty meat patties. The owner even came to our table and said "how we doin family? He came over to introduce himself and to make sure we weren't missing anything. Will certainly be back and actually looking forward to their brunch menu. read more

Came with a friend because he likes it here. I just had bad luck and ordered the wrong thing. But, no dish should be wrong. He ordered the Ahi Tuna sandwich and he said it was delish! I ordered the carnitas tacos and it was not good. The carnitas seemed stale and old. It was super dry and over done. The place was not busy and service was slow. I was not impressed and have no desire to come back. read more

We came in on a Monday afternoon and was set up in a perfect location to be able to park our stroller this was very kind of the staff right away. The inside is decorated so nicely it is like a beach bungalow and very comfortable. The food is fantastic, I had the ahi tuna salad and my Wife got the BLTA. The tuna salad was great there was plenty of tuna to be able to have a piece with every bite, it was flavorful zesty and fresh! Unfortunately I cannot say how the BLTA was as my wife refused to give me one bite it was so good, the French fries were thin and crispy, I liked this my wife not so much. Menu was pretty pricey but it's CDM, a very nice spot and we will certainly be back! read more

Such a cute gem and find on the street. Plenty of parking in the back, which I'd recommend instead of parallel street parking. It gets busy and hard to get out. It's a great American restaurant with fresh sandwiches. We enjoyed the burgers, fries and tacos. Glad that the tacos came in 3 as they should! Also have amazing homemade lemonade, make it with strawberries. They have TV too that broadcast live sports events. It is a little slower on service but didn't mind the wait. Overall spacious and cute spot that we'd return for lunch again! read more

The food here is always delicious and the portions are sizable. I would have given them 5 stars for the food, and the nice guy who waited our table. However, management needs to be aware that the young man behind the bar was intolerable. We came as a party of 3 at 5:45 to celebrate my mom's 82nd birthday. No one said hello or even acknowledged we had walked in the door. When I asked, we were told we could sit anywhere. My mother wanted the booth along the back wall in the corner, but it hadn't been bussed yet and the one waiter was extremely busy. I figured we could be self sufficient and I began removing the empty dishes and debris from the table and was pulling some antibacterial wipes from my purse to wipe down the table when the bartender rushed over, got in my face, and said, "Please stop, please stop, please stop, please stop!" so loud that others were staring. No explanation, (like, "oh, we don't allow customers to clean their own tables.", or "So sorry, we're slow, but we would prefer to clean the table ourselves.") I'll be going back on my next visit to CA and hopefully the young bartender will be more welcoming. I'm assuming this was a one off, but it was really disheartening when I was trying to be helpful. read more

I make it a point to visit the Summer House. The food is fantastic, and the cozy, charming atmosphere never disappoints. This lovely cottage-style restaurant in Corona del Mar is perfect for lunch, dinner, or a relaxing weekend brunch. I hope you'll give it a try read more

Nice location, good food, usually good service, but there are too many customers who bring their dogs into the restaurant with them. Mediocre public bathrooms in the back alley. read more

2.5 stars The service was slow and our waiter "Superman" apologized to us at the end. It was all good because we weren't in a rush and enjoyed the sunshine while sitting outside. We came in with high expectations due to being wowed by the food in our past summers of coming here. However, it did not hit the mark. The burger was not a good burger at all. As I am writing this, I am still nauseous from it. It was 22 dollars where you can get a MUCH BETTER burger from "the Place" down the street or "shake shack" on crystal cove. Plus the advertised fries were small and few provided. It was too much burger meat (1/2 pound) and thick, rather than a smash burger form. The Mac and cheese was a let down and wayyy too much cheese! I don't plan to come back unless they reinvent their menu to be less heavy. read more

Went to this little place for lunch today. What a gem. Grilled chicken salad was large, fresh & yummy. Fish & chips (substituted chips with sautéed spinach) was unexpectedly delicious. Fish was a generous portion, nice kinda beer batter - not greasy at all! Sautéed spinach was 5 stars as well. Done just right. Service was fabulous. Wish I recalled our waitresses name!!! She was fabulous. Got everything right and kept our cups and glasses full. Would go back again! read more

Amazing food and drinks! Great ambience and kind, accommodating staff. Our server, Pedro, did everything he could to ensure our enjoyment. We had the veggie sandwich, the ginger crusted Ono, the veggie sandwich with sweet potato fries, and the grilled Island chicken, all of which were fantastic. The service was also very fast, which added another layer of enjoyment. read more

Summer House is, without a doubt, my absolute favorite spot in Corona del Mar! Whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a special event, they nail it every time. Jamie, the manager, is amazing--he'll help you plan any event and make it seamless. The food is always delicious--I'm obsessed with the Cobb salad, the fries, and their calamari appetizer (you have to order it!). Every sandwich, every salad, and the ono fish--so good. The owner often checks in with tables, making sure everything's perfect. The service is spotless--there's even a server nicknamed Superman, and trust me, he lives up to it. It's casual dining with top-tier service--you'll feel like you're in the best hands! read more

We really enjoyed this want little spot. It really does look like summer house in its history. Very charming, we got seated immediately, enjoyed a drink while waiting for our lunch. I had the mezcal cocktail, not my favorite just didn't seem too original. Likely it was me not really enjoying mezcal flavor. My husband had a mimosa and he thought it was ok. The prices for both were very reasonable. I had cheeseburger thought it was good ordered medium rare definitely more on the medium or medium well side. My husband a BLTA he thought it ok. Overall definitely will go back and try a few more things on menu. Service was very good and timely read more

Wonderful meals and Claudia, our wait person, was delightful. The Cobb salad was the best we've ever eaten. The couple that was with us had the Brie burger and hanger steak sandwich. The old fashion drink was one of the best we've had at a restaurant. Funky fun place with local charm. read more

Just looking for somewhere I could eat outside in Corona Del Mar. Found a parking Spot and looked across the street and found summer house.

My favorite new lunch spot. Cool beach cottage vibe. Food even better. The ginger ono is to die for. Ahi sandwich even better!

Meh .. We try going every year to hope things have changed for the better but.. Dinner included an undercooked hamburger and fish tacos that were a mess of cause and toppings that looked like anything but fish tacos. On times we have gone arrive good during the day but negligent and inattentive at night. Prices aren't cheap and there are better alternatives... read more

Good little cafe tucked into downtown. Friendly with a very local vibe. Neighbors running in to grab coffee in the pouring down rain!

The place was super cute. The burger and tacos were yummy. The aesthetic was very laid back and chill. I wish that the service was a bit better. The drinks here were also delicious! I think it's a cute lunch/bunch spot. It wasn't too busy on Saturday :) read more

Nice interior, feels just like a Summer house. We came here early morning because of close distance to Beach and it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious especially the ahi tuna salad, I loved the dressing. Our server was on point and was very helpful with recommendations. It seems to be a popular tourist place so do try to get in early because it got very packed as we were leaving. Definitely mark it as a must visit if you're in the Corona Del Mar beach area. read more

What a cute fun little restaurant. We stopped by for a drink on Saint Patrick's day. They had themed green drinks. It was fun. They also had a special Saint Patrick's brunch menu. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Dale. Such a nice guy! He came over and helped us take pictures and was very nice and hospitable. Would definitely recommend stopping by here if you are in the area. read more

Great casual eatery in CDM. Most items we've tried were delicious and made with care. Decent service at family friendly environments

we went to try to have lunch on mlk day just now and they were understaffed, which is fine and we said we were willing to wait, no problem. We were told we could sit down and we were willing to wait 10 minutes or so until staff was available, and at least we felt out of the way instead of waiting by the door, then in a very rude tone a busser said can you move, I said we were told we could sit down to wait. Nasty attitude. Never again. We were nothing but understanding until his nasty attitude. read more

We wandered over here after a visit to the Sherman Library and Gardens and what a find! Our server was very nice and the food was delicious! Our group of 5 all cleared our plates.

Chicken noodle soup wasn't chicken noodle soup, tasted out of a can. The steak skewers were extremely overcooked. The calamari and burger were decent, no complaints.
