    Lavender Lemonade

    The food is expensive for the taste and quality. Caesar salad was good. The pasta was just ok. The drink was excellent. The service was great -- our waitress was very attentive. The ambiance is cute. We came here last year for breakfast with no problems but this time, half the group didn't like what they ordered. The total bill was $270 for 3 kids and 4 adults. Not worth it.

    Cobb Wedge

    Our party of 9 had a reservation to celebrate our niece graduating from CSU, Fullerton. Our server Cesar was very nice, albeit a bit scattered at first. He asked if anyone had any food allergies/preferences so we informed him that our niece was vegetarian. He said he would bring her a vegan menu to peruse, great! After waiting nearly 15 minutes, we had to flag him down and ask for the vegan menu again. "So-and-so didn't bring it?" I'm pretty sure he said that HE would bring it. Sensing our annoyance, he kicked into gear and became very attentive. Once he took our orders, the food came out relatively fast. I had the Cobb wedge salad, plenty of Romaine hearts sliced vertically, w/pulled chicken, bacon, avocado, radish, pickled onions & blue cheese crumbles. I really enjoyed it. Hubby had the It's a date salad, tons of Kale with dates and croutons, he felt like he was eating cow feed as the kale was a bit tough.The rest of our party had meatloaf, fish sandwich, shrimp pasta, hot chicken sandwich, poblano & cheese tamale and a falafel burger. A varied menu that we enjoyed.

    Fried Fish Sandwich

    This is the only restaurant in Pixar Pixar Hotel and it gets busy at night as soon as it opens. I was skeptical that it would be another bad hotel restaurant but the food was pretty good. I had a great Espresso Martini super creamy and frothy. Also had the fish sandwich- the fish filet is massive and stacked. It's messy with the slaw but hot and fresh and well made. I got the side Caesar salad and it was good. My guest got the chopped wedge which did not come dressed and we asked for dressing it never came. The waitress was super busy and hardly checked on us. When she FINALLY came and we told her we didn't get any dressing she did take off the salad. Remainder of trip we didn't eat there again.

    My family and I went here for the Mother's Day brunch. The place was inviting and clean. The staff were friendly and greeted us as we came in. The food was delicious and amazing. Our waitress was very attentive to us. We would definitely be back.

    Previously, I had dined at this location within the first month of opening and loved it for brunch. They had a vegetarian bacon option made from mushrooms that I loved; sadly, that option is no longer on the menu. Though I wanted to still dine here as one of my besties and I were staying at Pixar Place Hotel. We booked dinner the night before her Disney Half-Marathon and Brunch post-run the day of our checkout. I wrote a review on the other page, but this one appears to be the official one. For dinner, we had the amazing Cesar who was exceptional with my food allergies while delivering the definition of service with a smile. He even self-identified I was given regular fries and not Parmesan truffle to take to correct; which I appreciated it as I would have just dealt with the kitchen error to avoid food waste. Though he was exceptional, the noise in the dining room was very jarring. This alone will deter me from doing dinner there in the future. Lastly regarding the dinner service, we both were not impressed with our entrees. The Turkey Bolognese lacked seasoning and the chicken sandwich was dry. The mushroom fries were a hit so if I were to go here, I'd stick to starts and the delicious Mule I had. Though a lackluster dinner the night before in terms of flavor, we kept the brunch reservation as the first time I dined here was great. Thankfully, it was less loud for a better experience seated in a corner by the glass windows. Service was very slow today, but we were not in a rush. The cold brew bears are a thing I remembered from when they opened, and eagerly awaited one that came after our meals due to the bar being backed up. I ended up requesting another and shocked they are no free refills as $10 for how small they are seems crazy; I could have sworn when I came the first time they were one free refill. Perhaps allowed when first opening? Not the end of the world, but wish the waitress confirmed the charge first for a second one. I wasn't terribly fussed so I didn't bring it up. As for the brunch food, it was a little better than dinner the night before in terms of flavor. We had a better brunch the day before at Carnation Cafe in Disneyland surprisingly. Overall, a bust both visits and I would only recommend for convenience if staying at Pixar Place. Or unless you are missing Dr. Pepper like I do as no one where in the parks has Dr. Pepper. I would not go out of my way to visit while in the parks staying at the Disneyland Hotel or off property as no product specifically is memorable to go back that far from the parks.

    Turkey Bolognese

    Great Maple at Pixar Place is a super cute place to dine and is very in-theme with Disney. There is parking available in the hotel lot right next to it and you can get it validated at the restaurant itself. The food is very delicious in my opinion. I ordered the turkey bolognese dish and it was so savory. You can probably split that with another person, as it's big portion. I also ordered the It's a Date kale salad, also very shareable for the table. The kale was very crisp and fresh, too! Even though it was crowded, the servers did a really great job keeping up with the table and ensuring we had water refills. The staff is overall very friendly and accommodating. If you're in the Disney area or spending a day at the park, I recommend taking a break and giving this place a try!

    Famous Maple Bacon Doughnuts
    Cera-Lyn S.

    Reservations for 6. Seated right away. Service was fast and friendly. Server was well versed on specials. Food was delicious especially the Soda Pop pork ribs and the wedge Cobb salad. Ordered the seasonal carrots and may have been forgotten so explained to me that a refire would happen. Decided to cancel order and got a free donut instead. Overall, a great place for a hearty dinner. Portions are huge. Shared the ribs with my son and was still a lot leftover. Restaurant was a good noise level. Pricey but worth it for a splurge

    Inside

    This was my 1st time here and I will be back. My ladies group did brunch plus it was my birthday. Service was excellent! Our server anticipated our needs quickly and before we asked. The inside of this restaurant is light and airy,Filled with pixar characters photos throughout its interior because it is located inside the Pixar hotel. I had the signature dish Chicken and doughnuts. The chicken was spicy, not greasy covered in maple syrup and the doughnuts were light and fluffy with a maple glaze and bacon bits. Portions are substantial and can be shared. Everyone was happy with their selections and many were making return plans .

    Beignets
    Linda L.

    Had a late breakfast here the last day of our stay at Pixar Place. Service was painfully slow, which I hope was due to staffing issues, there didn't seem to be many servers on while we were there. It look about 90 minutes for breakfast. The food was fine, I had chilaquiles, which were good. We also had the beignets, which came with lemon curd and were delicious.

    Classic eggs Benedict
    Sarah L.

    We had the nicest brunch here!! Our server was so friendly and great and the dining room was immaculate. I love the design. We each ordered an eggs benedict, I had the classic and he had the shrimp, and with the side of au gratin potatoes they were amazing. The biscuit is much easier to cut into and gives a very different texture than the usual English muffin. The biscuit in its own right is so good although I do prefer an English muffin for a Benedict, or something with a little more crunch to contrast the eggs and ham. I also ordered a chocolate chip pancake on the side which was perfect for my sweet tooth. Overall had a great time and look forward to coming back!

    Seasonal offerings right now

    Food service and ambience on point. I have been wanting to try this place out for about two yrs at downtown Disney. Did not disappoint us in a birthday celebration We had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes with petite onion rings on top to make it special but the one spectacular meal that sounded different but interesting was the maple bacon donuts with fried chicken(felt more like chicken tenders but it's ok) Wowzer the donuts were huge but so scrumptious and paired up like a chicken and waffle meal. They have some unique food here but still with a home style meal but elevated. You need to try it out. Inside Pixar hotel that is an easy walk from dtd.

    Mushy French Toast Logs
    Emilie J.

    We've eaten at great maple in Hillcrest many times and looked forward to eating again while on our Disney vacation. Our server took our order and then ignored us for 45 minutes, never refilling drinks or checking to make sure the food came out ok. We ordered the French toast logs that came out completely soggy and uncooked in the middle - all 8 of them. Unfortunately since we didn't see a server or any other staff after they came out we didn't get a chance to say anything until she came to give us the check. Let her know they were raw & mushy in the middle and they comped ONE of them, although all were uncooked. The pancakes tasted like they were straight from a bisquick box. Overall- not impressed with this location at all. Had this been my first or only experience with the Great Maple I would never go back. Save your money and eat at Denny's up the road instead

    Ribeye Melt and Caesar side salad.
    Denise W.

    The food is amazingly delicious! Lots of vegan options. Friendly service and open comfortable atmosphere! We sat at the bar for lunch and truly enjoyed our experience. The restaurant is located in the Pixar Hotel. PS You can purchase a Brew Bear glass for $8.00. Andrew was our server and he was so pleasant and charming!

    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.

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.

My Delmonico, which is normally super juicy and tender, came out closer to medium instead of medium rare and was also a touch cold. That said, The Ranch is still one of my favorite spots in OC. If the kitchen can consistently match the high standards and execution that the servers provide, this place will easily stay at the top as one of the best steakhouse experiences in Orange County.

    We attended a special Chartreuse tasting event at Strong Water which was being held in honor of…read moreChartreuse week and Chartreuse Day 1605 (May 16), the annual celebration of Chartreuse's origins and history. 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!
