Located inside Fera Anaheim, a DoubleTree by Hilton, this bar/lounge was honestly one of the main reasons we decided to book our stay there. The space is BEAUTIFUL, both during the day and at night. When we checked in on Friday evening they even had live music, but unfortunately I was feeling a little sick so I skipped it and told myself I'd redeem the experience the next day before heading to Disneyland. And I'm glad I did. In the daytime, the patio area is gorgeous--you can really appreciate the firepit seating and the little lake with koi fish outside. Such a relaxing vibe. We came by around 4PM to pregame before Disney and the bar was pretty busy. Huge shoutout to Arvey, the bartender who took care of us during our visit. Not only was the service exceptional, but he genuinely made some of the best cocktails we've had in a while. Sitting at the bar and watching him make the drinks was honestly part of the experience itself. At first we were trying to customize and tweak our drinks because we usually stay in our comfort zone, but after talking with him and learning more about the ingredients in The Peel's specialty cocktails, we decided to trust the process a little more. We ordered the Dragonfly and Playing With Fire, and both were amazing--beautiful presentation, really balanced flavors, sweet and sour in the best way. We're usually not big foam cocktail people either, but this visit might've changed our minds a little. Also, Playing With Fire came with a fun little presentation moment which made it even better. Honestly, I was really impressed with my experience here. I even came back for another drink at breakfast before checking out of the hotel lol. The dining area also looked beautiful and the food coming out to other tables looked really good too. Definitely looking forward to coming back anytime I'm around the Anaheim area again. read more

The Peel is located inside Hotel Fera and you can park in the lot just out front, on the side of the hotel there's a few spots you can scan the QR code and pay for, or you can park in the parking structure that's behind and to the right of the hotel. Parking validation is done at the front desk. They have a solid menu of appetizers, entrees and desserts and a very nice craft cocktail menu. It's sectioned off at the south east end of the lobby and feels like a more open space than a standard restaurant or bar and the vibe feels very OC, hipster, upscale. The only downside is the service is not consistent the last two times we've been here. The night we visited, there was a singer playing piano between the bar and restaurant area. I love entertainment at any venue, but the sound was way too loud for indoors and we couldn't hear each other talking. The reason I suggested The Peel for dinner was because I've been able to have conversations with friends and catch up without any competing noise from neighboring tables or crowds in the past. Maybe call ahead of time if there's going to be entertainment and if there's an event in town (Motocross was happening this weekend) to gauge the crowd and noise level before you go. The bar is fully stocked and they have a lot of craft cocktails to choose from and the drinks are consistently good. I had the Como la Flor cocktail this night and in the past I've enjoyed the Fera & the Dragonfly cocktails. The appetizers are great to share with your friends and there's lots to choose from. I enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and the mini sliders a lot and my friends really loved the chorizo flatbread. For the entree I got the smash burger and it's pretty filling and rich. You get fries with the order and the fries are perfectly crispy and tasty. For dessert we got the bread pudding, lemon cheesecake and lava cake. The lemon cheesecake was like biting a slice of lemon with some sugar. It's definitely for lemon lovers and I enjoyed it. Bread pudding ice cream was good but the bread pudding was alright and you can't go wrong with lava cake. Again, my only issue with the Peel is the service. It's not very hospitable compared to other restaurants I've visited. There was a bit of a wait from when we were seated to when our server showed up. He took our orders, the food and drinks would show up, and after that we didn't see our server for a while, so we were without drink refills and our table had dirty dishes that just sat there. I glanced around a few times and saw no servers on the floor, a server that was not ours that was far away or would try to flag one down for a refill on our waters but they were quickly leaving the area. We were waiting on the check, but just kept talking instead and then finally, when the check came we were in mid conversation catching up. He stopped by a few minutes later, picked up the check and realized we had not put our cards down to pay it and came back and dropped it off again. We paid using Google-Wallet at their point of sale system and sat back down to finish our conversation and the busser asked if he could remove the dirty dishes on our table and said, in a rude tone, "Yeah because we're closed already." We didn't realize they were closed since there was still a large crowd of people at the bar, and he could have said that in a polite way and said thank you for coming, but he made it known he has to set his jars of jam down on the table for breakfast tomorrow. Honestly, had our server come by much earlier and checked on us and left the bill, we would've left before closing. I don't usually think of a hotel restaurant as a go-to for dinner with friends, but this is the only one in a while that I would recommend because the vibe is unique. I hope the service improves, but other than that it's a solid restaurant. read more

We stayed at the hotel and wanted to grab some dinner and glad we did it wasn't busy, we got our seats promptly and order as well we order Brussels sprouts, mussels and flat bread pizza there were all good and even the water there was no bad taste in the water Thas a plus for me but the food was on point wondering if they have another restaurant or just exclusive to this hotel the food was amazingly good stupid good pizza was fresh cheese oowee gooey good the bread and butter to the mussel was good the sliders were on point, we had to come back for brunch the hash brown cake to die for, and they made a special request for me even tho they didn't serve flat bread pizza the made the exception thank you again, the presentation plating matches the taste and the ambiance is nice and fancy the decor and service to the food you would think your at an high end restaurant. Thank you peel you will be the reason why we will come back and stay at Fera. Great job to all staff that put in the work thank you !!! 5 stars read more

Excellent restaurant, great entertainment and yummy wine. The reason for 4 stars is the limited vegan options. Our waitress was amazing! She was super friendly, accommodating, and helpful. They had live music, excellent! We were at the restaurant but the bar seemed to have lots of patrons having a great time! The decor is very chic, high ceilings, and comfortable seating. We are planning to come back and hopefully they increase their vegan options at some point. read more

Came here for brunch. This place is nestled in the Fera Hotel and has a lovely, upscale vibe. The staff is friendly and efficient. We ordered the peel stuffed french toast and the peel benys. The Peel Stuffed French Toast- They use brioche with orange cheesecake filling, and mandarin slices to top. The bread is so soft and fluffy and the filling is light with just the right amount of sweetness and pleasant citrus flavor. So good! The Peel Benys- The base is an english muffin topped with habañero glazed pork belly, poached eggs, and orange infused hollandaise sauce, Served with a side of breakfast potatoes. The muffin is soft and the pork belly has a delightful crunch outside with a tender interior. The hollandaise sauce is tasty and ties the flavors together. The potatoes are crisp and hearty. Great experience overall! read more

The Peel - Their version of a French 75 - great cocktail! - Bars Near Me - Orange, California

The Peel is located inside the Hotel Fera. The space is on the main level in the back, and is very open and well lit. There seems to be a cool outdoor area with seating, fire pits, and even a water feature! BAR: The first thing you see is the big beautiful bar. It's a large square shape with seating on three of the four sides. There are TV's on each side, a nice display of bottles behind the bar, and another display of bottles above your head for decoration. DRINKS: They have a dozen specialty cocktails featuring your standard spirits. The presentation on some of these is fun, and there were a handful that I wish I could have tried. You can also order custom cocktails as they have a full bar. There are ~10 options for both red and white wines. They serve 6oz, 9oz, and full bottles. A few of the options are only available as full bottles. There are also a couple sparkling options available in 6oz and full bottles. While I didn't see a beer menu, I noticed around 10 tap handles at the bar. The cocktails we tried: - Como La Flor (Teremana Resposado, Grapefruit, Lime, Lavender-Infused Simple Syrup, Grapefruit Soda, Butterfly Pea Flower Tea - $16.50) - This was really refreshing and wasn't overly tart or bitter. It's a beautiful purple color and served with a slice of grapefruit in the glass. - So Cal Sling (St. George Gin, Luxardo Bianco, St. Germain, Pineapple, Fresh Lime, Bitters, Club Soda - $16) - I was going between this and the Gene Autry, and our server recommended this one. The spirit flavor was there, but not overpowering. Another refreshing cocktail served in a highball style glass with a dried pineapple garnish. - The Fera (Ketel One, Basil, Cucumber, Mint, Fresh Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup - $16) - This was the replacement drink for one that was sent back. The display on this one is fun with some cucumber slivers on a skewer. She said it was crisp and delicious, and really enjoyed it. FOOD: We came with a small group of 3 and decided to order some dishes to share amongst us. We got: - Mediterranean Charcuterie Board (Spanish chorizo, prosciutto, capicola, salami, manchego cheese, point reyes cheese, brie cheese, pickled vegetables, olives, grain mustard, crispy baguette - $22) - This thing is loaded. Great value for the price, they definitely don't skimp on the meat. I do wish there was more cheese, but the ones they included were very tasty. We ended up taking a lot of this one home and enjoyed it on the couch a few days later! - Peel Fish Tacos (Mahi Mahi, sour orange adobo, corn tortilla, citrus, coleslaw, fire roasted tomato salsa, guacamole, lime, chipotle aioli, cilantro - $18) - These were solid. They come with 3 per order, which was perfect for our group size. The fish is grilled, not fried, and has great flavor! - Crispy Brussel Sprouts (Balsamic, honey syrup, crispy onions, roasted shishito peppers - $13) - There was a lot going on here, but it worked! I liked the crispy onions on top, and don't think I've ever had brussels with shishito peppers. - Tempura Cauliflower (Sweet chili BBQ sauce, sesame seeds, scallions - $15) - This might have been the favorite dish of everything we ordered. One of our guests is Gluten Free, so she wasn't able to try this one... too bad! We ordered an extra side of the sauce, which was REALLY good. Would for sure order this one again! - California Hummus (Sundried tomato, cucumbers, niçoise olives, Temecula olive oil - $12) - I only had a few bites of this, but it was tasty. I don't love olives, and it has little pieces of olive spread out on top, which I didn't love. It comes with cute little soft pita pieces, though we added a side of tortilla chips ($4) to accommodate our GF friend. PARKING: There is a self-parking lot that is part of the hotel. You grab a ticket on the way in, and are supposed to get it validated before you leave. OVERALL: We came with a small group to celebrate a friend's birthday, and had a lovely time. It was a Wednesday evening, and not busy at all-a few people at the bar and a few tables in the dining room. Our server, Bryan, was friendly and made recommendations on favorite / popular dishes. One of the people in our party didn't love the first cocktail she ordered, and he happily replaced it without issue. I would definitely recommend checking out The Peel for some great cocktails and delicious food! IG: @bbnem.eats read more

Love the ambience of this place! Came here for a dinner and was pleasantly surprised there was live music. Unfortunately, the waitress helping us missed the orders of a couple members of our group and seemed rather annoyed with the party the entire time we were there.

GORGEOUS RESTAURANT!!! I cannot believe how lovely this restaurant is! The beautiful high ceiling, long drapes, vintage creamy color interior decor etc everything is photo perfect. It's a shame that not a lot of people know about it as it's inside a hotel. The food is delicious too! We went on a Saturday at 1pm and just missed their breakfast (ends at 12!) but their lunch items were tasty too. Smash burger with bacon jam was yummy and HUGE it hurt my mouth to open that wide lol. Their fries were crispy but a bit too much seasoning powder. Beet & Burrata salad was delicious with tons of candied walnuts. Poke bowl was generous with tuna and all the toppings. We will definitely come back again to try out their brunch breakfast menu! The service here was top notch! They even surprised us with a free tin of cookies and dessert as we were here celebrating a bridal shower! Thank you! read more

While staying at the Fera hotel during my visit to Anaheim, I checked out the Peel a few times. It's the downstairs bar & restaurant in the hotel. Cute esthetic. Large bar area and nice table seating area. I sat at the bar whenever I went. Each time, Robert was my bartender. He was very soft spoken, nice, and gave good service. They have good wine selection, and a full bar. Robert made one of the best Palomas I've had in a while. Their Korean wing appetizer was delicious, and had a little kick to it. Mt friend had their mussels and she devoured them. Ordered their Spanish Chorizo Flatbread minus tomatoes, and it had great flavors. Just enough crust, and not too salty. read more

The Peel is a gorgeous restaurant within Hotel Fera. Their ambiance is definitely a huge plus, although I did feel like it was super cold inside the restaurant. They have a lot of seating inside and also have an amazing outside area with plenty of seating there as well. The food is was good but the drinks were better. Out of the food, I was surprised that the crispy chcharrón is what I liked best. It was flavorful, crunchy, and I loved the guac that came with it! The chile relleno spring rolls were ok. I didn't think they tasted like chile relleno, but more so like jalapeño poppers. Their drinks were very good. The Fera was my favorite. It had a refreshing cucumber, lemon, and mint flavor. The Como La Flor was also yummy with grapefruit and lime. Although their drinks are on the pricier side, they are beautifully presented. Their breakfast buffet was excellent. They had a lot of different breakfast options such as eggs, fruit, pastries, juice, and coffee. Their service was 10/10. Very attentive and helpful staff. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I never noticed it because it is located in the lobby of the hotel! There is ample seating, natural sunlight, and really cute cabana style booths that are divided by chic curtains really cute! Stopped by for lunch, and it was delicious. I'm picky with salmon, and the chef got this one right! Crispy skin, tender, juicy, and great portion size. I was thrown off by the romaine lettuce because it was a "stalk" that I had to cut apart. Tasted great but extra effort was required lol just fyi. I'm not a Gin person BUT the drinks were perfectly balanced, not too sweet but lots of flavor and definitely was not watered down the service was excellent and Maria the server was so nice! read more

Went here with my wife and friends. This restaurant is located inside Hotel Fera. When I pulled up to the hotel I tried to pull into the parking. I had to scan a QR code that wasn't working, so I pulled into the Valet only to find out you get 2 hours free if going to eat at the Peel. So that made things easy. Once is side wait staff was great and friendly. Food was well played and delicious. We will definitely be back. The Hotel has a nice modern feel with super high ceilings and this theme carried into the restaurant, very nice decor. Probably better at night but we were here for a late lunch. Will definitely come back. read more

The Peel - Fera omelette with sides of bacon and berries - Bars Near Me - Orange, California

I was looking up craft bars in the area and came across this spot. I didn't think it was gonna be inside of a hotel so it was not what I was expecting when I pulled up. Especially from the outside the hotel looks a little outdated but we had already parked and the reviews seemed good so we came by and we're really glad we did. I wanna start off by saying that the exterior of the hotel does not match the interior. The interior is beautiful from the front desk to the restaurant and especially the bar. I was really surprised because most hotel bars offer and cover the basics. Everyone at the front desk was really nice and greeted us when we walked in. We sat at the bar and met Arley and he took really great care of us. Really knew his menu and everything he offered we loved. I wanted to try the plane with fire but was skeptical about the egg whites and I didn't want it at first but he asked me if it was a dietary restriction or just a preference and I have never had a bartender ask me those type of questions because he really took the time to understand and ask what I wanted and what I was looking for and in the end he convinced me to try it the way it comes with the egg whites cuz he explained a white make the drink a little more frothier and make it a little more full bodied and it was delicious. My wife ordered the dragonfly and she wanted to substitute the gin for vodka and he also convinced her to try it as his. He let us know that he's not a fan of Gin either but that it's an infused gin and it really compliments the dragonfruit syrup well so we trusted him and she loved it! It was overall a great experience, the atmosphere the drinks and all of the employees. It made us wish we were staying there too LOL We can't wait to come by again read more

The restaurant is inside the hotel, that caught me off guard. Even though they said they opened at 2pm it was a limited menu so I was pretty hungry and to only be able to order appetizers was an upset. But the fish tacos were good and tasty and fresh. The saving Grace for me was the bartender she was very attentive which I appreciated. Now I would give this a 4 or 5 star but I was a bit aggravated by not being able to leave the parking lot. I got trapped in because all the stalls were closed which was stupid, but then I walk back to the hotel and inform them about the issue so he send valet to let me out. The valet attendant was just extremely rude he said you need to push the button to be able to get out! Like I'm not stupid I've been to a few parking lots before. So I responded with I pushed it a few times and got no response. So if it wasn't for those issues I would probably be back but the overall experience was just not ok. Probably won't be back read more

The Peel - French Butterfly - Bars Near Me - Orange, California

Went there for a dinner in the beginning of the year and had a great time. Food was delicious and the server was very helpful. That was on a Friday early evening and we were the only one at the restaurant. I was so excited to go back. So I booked a Mother's Day brunch, but this time did not have the same experience. Was very excited about the food and the ambience food was great as usual however, when we got there, we were seated outside (5 of us total). It was a sunny day. There was plenty of seating inside that weren't taken, but they said that those were already reserved. I had asked them if we can move inside so that was OK if it was reserved but then we noticed that people who came after us were seated outside, but then asked to be moved inside and we're granted that. I felt kind of an exception that they wouldn't let us move inside when everybody else after us was able to we were the only ones outside for the next two hours while the inside still had empty seats. And we weren't even able to hear the live music that was going on because that was inside. Of course we booked Mother's Day for the whole amenities that they were offering, including the live music and we had to keep walking inside to get dessert and other items that were buffet style. I was very disappointed that they wouldn't let us move inside and we didn't get to enjoy our brunch as much as we thought we would have. Great concept for Mother's Day, but customer service felt very short. read more

Quick and biased review here, we had a coupon for half-off any appetizer. So we got a charcuterie board and a couple cocktails. For being a starter, the board was robust and filling, ended up not wanting to get an entrée oops. The cocktails I feel were a bit steep on price and definitely tasted watered down, borderline non-alcoholic. The interior ambience and customer service were top notch though. Don't remember the waiter's name but he was attentive and accommodating despite us being there to just use our lil coupon. Overall, don't anticipate returning for the restaurant. Seems to cater more towards the hotel's patrons rather than pulling in locals for a night out. read more

went for Easter brunch food was good price was good compared to others in the area but I was seated inside and the singer was not it. I love to talk with my family esp since it's Easter brunch and they charge $75 per person, but the girl singing was loud and hard to hear much else. It's a pretty small space to play that loud and ruined the ambiance. It was a struggle to hear my server. The stars are for the good food and the poor server trying to work.

The Peel - Agave Summer & The Fera - Bars Near Me - Orange, California

Old things become new, and sometimes they become majestic. Peel Craftbar and Kitchen is in the old Doubletree by the Outlets of Orange, which is now called Hotel Fera, a DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton. That's a mouthful. Basically, it has it's own stylistic name, but is still a DoubleTree Hotel that has DoubleTree standards. Along with the name change, the hotel freshened itself up and in some ways, reinvented itself. Its lobby is brand new and they finally decided to showcase their bar and hotel restaurant. With Peel, the hotel knocked down a meeting room wall to open up preexisting, three-story-high vaulted ceilings which makes for a stunning place to grab drink or food. High ceilings for days. Fully length windows for days. A bar with windows that air out and open up to the wood deck patio. A wood deck patio that has fire pits over looking their lush landscape and flowing stream. In a way, it's paradise. The menu at the Peel is ambitious in that they have dishes from so many cuisines and all are done well. There's flat breads, fish tacos, ahi tuna poke bowls, bucatini, pear salads, pan roasted salmon, fried chicken sandwiches, shrimp and scallop ceviche... Pretty much something for everyone. Agave Summer - Passion fruit, tequila, Ancho Reyes and fresh lime, this blended well together, with the passion fruit playing strongly and letting the tequila just enough room to make itself known. A moderately strong but easy sipping tequila cocktail that isn't overly sweet. Coastline Shrimp and Scallop Aguachile - This was like a ceviche. Fresh chunks of shrimp and scallop with tomatoes, red onions, yuzu, avocados and thick tortilla chips. A light dish that was full of flavor that I couldn't stop dipping into. Recommended. Pei Mussels - If you only get one thing on the menu, get these mussels. These mussels are cooked in a gimme-another-spoonful coconut curry that is perfection and would rival anything you would get in any fine dining establishment. The yellow curry soup is spicy with a kick but not enough to make you sweat. The curry flavors are rich. The toasted, buttery ciabatta slices will not be enough to sop up all of the soupy base. Ask for more bread because, heck, you only live once. Dip and repeat until the bowl is dry. Pear Salad - This dish didn't look that impressive but tasted great. Endives with poached pear, mixed greens, candied walnuts, goat cheese and vinaigrette all played well together. I would order it again. If you get a burger or sandwich, be sure to get the potato chips instead of the fries (well get the fries if you want). Their potato chips are fresh cut and fried in house. They are so, so good. Don't say I never told you so. I was very surprised and impressed with the Peel. They reinvented the lobby bar to make it a destination, but still kept everything in a reasonable price range with wide ranging selections on the menu that are done well. The space is majestic and relaxing at the same time, depending on if you are sitting inside or outside. The servers were great. The good thing is that you can walk over when you are done shopping at the Outlets of Orange. I do not know if they validate for parking. If you are considering parking at the hotel parking lot, check on the fees first. Definitely a cool little spot to show off to your friends. They will ask how you even found the place. Yes, how did you find this place? Hahaha. read more

REALLY wanted to live this place. Service was brutal. Bartender was our server. Unapologetically Rude and Cold, pretentious. I'm asking about different cocktails. Apparently he only heard the first half because he did not hear when I asked for the second cocktail we talked about. Didn't want to be rude, but wasn't going to pay $18 for a cocktail I didn't want. Asked him for the one I asked for. He Questioned me- telling me that I ordered it. I was talking Mid sentence when he walked away. He didn't apologize for the situation. Food came out. Sliders. I asked for well done. My friend asked for medium rare. He said the kitchen got it wrong and both were well done. He didn't apologize or attempt to correct it. I didn't want a comp. I wanted to send it back and get what my friend asked for and was paying for. Nope. Nothing. He just left the food and walked away. I had asked for another cocktail but canceled the order. Can't add to a bill when everything is off. ESPECIALLY the service. Really wanted to like this place. I usually don't complain. I understand and support the industry. But this-honestly was not ok. read more

Oh wow. I came here for a date night with my husband based off their good reviews and it was such a disappointment. Went Dec. 20th around 6:30/7 and all around it was a mess. We had multiple servers and they had no communication with each other. One male server was particularly sassy when he asked 20 minutes later if he took our order and we said no. The martini I ordered really had the saddest olives I've ever seen, so soft I couldn't even eat them. The menu was terribly dirty and quite honestly it was embarrassing to even read off of. The 2 dishes that were good were the ceviche and the poke bowl. The Cesar I ordered would've been fine if it was dressed in accordance with its menu's description but it was missing a pepita nut that I was rather excited to have. It wasn't packed that day but you did notice the staff waiting on larger parties much more. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you were already at the hotel and needed food. Luckily the hotel does validate so you may park right in front but I wouldn't return based on service and quality. This place needs some serious guidance. You can tell when a staff and establishment take pride in their work/appearance but this is not one of them. read more
