This was one of the more disappointing dining experiences I've had this year…read more It's a joke that Brown Butter Boys can advertise themselves as a fine dining experience... at $100 plus 20% gratuity per person it is far from expensive nowadays but the meal and experience fell way below any level of expectations we had going in. We were served exceptionally bland and tasteless food in an after-hours coffee shop setting using fold-out tables, flimsy chairs. There was zero ambiance and none of the polish you'd expect at a proper "Supper Club" The food was genuinely bad. The main course was a joke -- portion, execution, flavor. We had a party of 6 and multiple plates went unfinished, and some of the dishes were a pass altogether. Sadly the only stand out item was the salad... We left hungry and walked across the street to a rotisserie chicken joint, which couldn't have been tastier given what we had just endured for the past 2 hours. Calling this "fine dining" is misleading at best. Charging $100 per person for this experience feels like robbery. There was nothing refined, thoughtful, or elevated about the food, the service, or the space. Save your evening, your money, and your stomach space. If you're anywhere near Seal Beach or Long Beach, you have countless legitimate, well-run restaurants that deliver quality & atmosphere and may not even cost you $100 with drinks... Stay away.. Don't make the same mistake we did.

Chef Peter is the real deal. I contacted him to cater our firm's holiday party this year. From…read morefirst contact to the two months leading up to the event, he was responsive and kind. He worked with me on a menu and he delivered my vision. Even with extreme circumstances (another vendor broke our garage door 24 hours before the event) Chef Peter and his crew took it in stride. They were on time and hauled their heavy equipment in and got straight to work. He was basically cooking/grilling on one side of our building (back patio), having to run back forth to the interior kitchen and sink. He and his crew worked SO hard that night. They are very professional. Every plate was perfect, they cleared the tables and made sure everything was spotless when they left. I also hired Jacob the Bartender (he works with Chef Peter) and WOW! Crafted cocktails and excellent service. Every person who was late to my party was sat and had a drink in their hand in less than a few minutes. Jacob was a pleasure to work with. Great bartender. I could not ask for a better duo for the night. Also big thanks to Tomas and Erick - their waitstaff. Amazing night they pulled off. I'm a perfectionist. Type A host. I'm very particular on how I throw my parties and Chef Peter surpassed my expectations & more. My entire firm will not shutup about how amazing the food and service was. The party was a hit and I believe it was because of the food & bar. I will 100% hire this team again for future events.

After speaking with a few chefs, we selected Chef Salvador because my father and I were impressed with his consultation. We were asked questions regarding her food preferences and were surprised to be sent multiple options characteristic of her taste. Salvador exceeded our expectations by creating an original menu featuring items we knew our mom would love. We chose a five-course meal featuring the following: Ceviche Short ribs with truffled mashed potatoes Duck breast with plum mole and cauliflower purée Spring salad with pomegranate, gorgonzola cheese, candied walnuts, and blood orange vinaigrette Buttercake with berry compote Chef Salvador and his team arrived several hours at my Mother's home in Huntington Beach before we expected our guest of honor. We were impressed with the team's professionalism, the preparation was orchestrated perfectly, and we worried about nothing the entire evening. My Mother and her guests loved every course, every bite, and still rave about the experience. From the initial consultation to the tidy clean-up, every interaction with Chef Peralta was first-class. In fact, we will be hiring him again for my sister-in-law's baby shower next month.

She's incredible at working with a picky eater and has gone above and beyond to accommodate very specific nutritional needs without ever making it feel complicated or stressful.

Her communication is excellent, her food is always delicious, and she puts so much heart into her work.
