So this was the restaurant in the hotel. All in all the food and drinks were great, but the service was a bit up and down. When I grabbed dinner I felt like I had to try real hard to get someone's attention when I was at a table right in front of the bar. However on another night the bartender was very helpful and made the night fun. It's convenient and meets your needs.

Menu is extremely limited and not alot to choose from. The struggle was real. We picked to eat here based on the online menu. This place is empty and only 4 seats at the bar taken up by construction workers. The server told me they heated up the soup on the microwave...no French dip, no poke etc...the vibe is a hotel lobby not upscale at all. Like a holiday inn

This restaurant accommodated a high school Disney field trip and the breakfast was awesome. But I came here another time previously to this and the poke nachos were really disappointing. It felt like a restaurant trying to be bougie and fancy but it was just alright. For the price it's not worth it in my opinion. Some of the portions were worth it like the rice dish I ordered attached to the image but for what we paid it was definitely not worth it so I won't be coming again. Maybe it's because they're so close to Disneyland they decided to up the prices. Lesson learned. Thank you, nonetheless. :)

Lobster Ravioli
Lisa S.

A hidden gem in Disneyland! This is a wonderful place to eat a fancy-ish dinner for a reasonable price. After a long day at Disney, we wanted a nice dinner but we didn't want to pay downtown Disney prices. Since we were staying at the Four Points hotel, we decided to walk back and give it a try. We didn't have high expectations given it was a hotel restaurant. However, once we arrived around 6pm we were instantly seated. I was hangry so this made me so happy. We ordered coconut shrimp as an app, lobster ravioli and short rib for our entrees. The appetizer came out right away probably within 5 min. It was freshly fried, and delicious. Highly recommend! Lobster ravioli - HEAVENLY. I am a lobster fanatic and the dish was super rich and creamy, with hints of flavorful lobster pieces inside. It also had some tender shrimp (not listed in the description) which was a nice add on protein. Brownie Sundae - I mentioned to the server there was a check in offer, and I was offered a free dessert. I chose the brownie sundae (because chocolate and ice cream duh) and it was really good! Super warm and rich, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I preferred that the brownie would've been more fudgey instead of cakey, but my husband liked the chocolate flavor a lot. TLDR: if you don't want to be hangry for dinner after Disneyland and want a nice fancy dinner with food service, head here at dinner hour and you'll be impressed!

Food: this was our first time and EVERYTHING we ate tasted delicious! LUNCH: Lobster ravioli: 8.5 of 10 -ravioli was well boiled and sauce was good just a little too much Lemon pepper chicken: 10 of 10 -seasoning was balanced and the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist/juicy on the inside Kid's pepperoni pizza: 8.5 of 10- kid approved with the right amount of dough to cheese and pepperoni Shrimp garlic noodles: 9 of 10-great taste and blend of sauce, garlic and shrimp was good size Desserts: brownie Sunday- 9 of 10 warm brownie with crispy outer and moist and delectable inside. Bread pudding: 5 of 10 unfortunately not a favorite. The bread pudding had an interesting flavor and taste, and not as moist and tasty as other amazing dessert. DINNER: Braised short rib: 10 of 10- "butter meat" amazing especially when the meat falls off the bone and melts in your mouth upon contact! Chicken and waffle: 9.5 of 10 -perfect combination with the chicken and waffle combo; not too sweet with the chicken warm and crispy, and the waffle was prepared just right. Brownie Sunday with two scoops: 10 of 10 was even better than from earlier today and with a strawberry and extra scoop (and red eye coffee on the side)! Service: both at lunch, dinner and upon check in--the staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful in making sure we were settled and welcomed to this small yet friendly hotel. Ambiance: not crowded at all--folks came and went and we had the place to ourselves for a little while until families started showing up. Family friendly and look forward to visiting again!

Lil Asian twist located inside four points Sheraton. Once inside the restaurant we were greeted and seated by the bartender. Once we were established the bartender asked us if we would like to start off with something to drink? I responded yes, and we are going to order a few things most likely it will be over 30 bucks so can I cash in on this yelp coupon? Waiter was cool he said no problem. The ambiance was very nice and peaceful. Then comes the waiter. I felt like he was a little standoffish at first because I seen some pics on yelps page and I wanted to order some of the dishes there. Unfortunately the menu has changed dramatically, but there were still great choices. I ordered the salmon fried rice and my fiance ordered the teriyaki chicken and veggies with a side of BBQ wings. I then asked him about the yelp check in and he told me they did not do it anymore. I responded well that's funny because the bartender said no problem. I asked to speak to the manager? He responded in a firm tone that she was out. Then he looked at the bartender as if I was lying and asked him while my time was running out on my coupon. My coupon was honored so I received a shock top beer with my dinner. Both of the main dishes were really delicious, but the wings were super dry. It was like eating Jerky with BBQ sauce on it. At the end of dinner the waiter let his hair down a little and asked us how we liked everything. Management please update your employee's on this matter, because sometimes I just check in because of the Lil perks. You almost lost 70 bucks over a 6 dollar drink, from bad customer service. Which was better at the end of dinner.

The menu pricing was not accurate. Restaurant management would not honor the pricing as shown on Yelp/GrubHub. The food was mediocre.

I went with sautéed fresh spinach and Sweet Buttered Brentwood Corn, while he chose Brussels Sprouts with Mac and Cheese. They offer a basket of incredibly warm bread and butter.

I love Oc & Lau so much that I ended up visiting both locations within a few weeks of each other…read more The location on Garden Grove Blvd is smaller so seating is not as comfortable. This review I assume is the OG on Garden Grove -- parking could be tough during the weekend. OC & La, is a Vietnamese seafood spot for sharing a bunch of dishes. I found out that "OC" means snails! I thought it was Orange County! Hahaha. We tried - razor clams, scallops (HUGE), the selection of salads are amazing so we got the spicy mango - House Special Mango Salad with squid & escargot -- is spicy , tangy, refreshing, and the refreshing taste! My favorite dish was the HUGE fried fish...color is amazing and the way the fish was presented seal the deal for me. Between two people, we devoured the entire fish !! It's the kind of place where you order "just a few things" and suddenly the entire table is covered in food. But, I'm not complaining since the team is very quick in getting the used plates off our tables. Also, both places offered FREE dessert. It's like a coconut based taro and other root sweet dish.

I remember going to this place a while ago, and loving their buttersquach gnocchi or something…read moreclose to that. The side came with the halibut. And it is one of the best sides, I ever had in my life. I even went to the LA Water Grill looking for it and it was not there. Recently, I was celebrating another precious birthday dinner (a little delayed by 7 days but still counts) and decided to go here, last minute. My friend and I had reservations at another restaurant across the street in the mall. But, I wanted to be a little bit more hungry, so we decided to walk around and then cross the street to find our place in Water Grill. So we crossed the bridge that connects the mall to the other side where the Water Grill lies and with the heatwave we are enduring as Californians, the walk felt like a trek through Arizona streets. I have never been to Arizona. But now I do not have to, apparently. I had called the joint before but they told me they were absolutely book for the night. I have lived long enough to know that place in a crowded restaurant is sometimes a matter of finding a crevice to call one's own. But a crevice is sometimes found only through efforts. The staff was prepared to show us options, one of two bars, and seating in other areas of ther expansive restaurant. I think there were three options and all of these were in the avaiable areas. They did not try to find me a table in their main dining rooms, which is fine. I did enter as a peasant looking for stale bread. Ronnie, my friend, did not want to sit anywhere where the heat was abundant, but luckly on our trek through the bar we found a group departing. Those seats were for us. People were barely getting up. I was almost the tazmanian devil, but contained, I did not want to lose these seats which meant for us, to another person who needed those sits. I am not sure why but I was acting like a bridemaids during a clearence sale for her best-friend's desired gown. I wonder if this happens in real life or I am imagining a scene from a movie that made women savages when it came to low priced clothes? The stools had food rests. My feet did not hang. A significant plus! The crevice had been found, and, like mice who had found their cheese, we were ready to split food and giggle like rats as we did! It was a superb meal! Like, a holiday was had in the moment. Once I found the halibut with the gnocchi my made was made up. Nothing else would due but what I had waited for and found anew. Since the LA shop did not have it, I feared that this place would not as well. We also ordered brussels. Roonie ordered their sirloin and their chimichurri. At one point, I combined the gnocchi, with the halibut, and smeared the chimi, and ate it in one mouthful and the proceeding pow was a blast from the present to the taste buds. The Delorian arrived and parked in my tongue, is what I am trying to say. Our server was Diana. And I thought that she would be more familiar with the fact that Diana was the real name of Wonder Woman. So I am making some lame dad jokes, even though I have not fathered any children, about Amazon and Thymescara. And she politely nodded but later found out that she was not connecting my jokes. But I guess dad jokes can be like that. She was also really kind of cool as a server. For instance, Ronnie wanted to enjoy mac and cheese. I ordered but then I walked and saw their beautiful ears of corn and wanted some. Ben eut we were informed that we had enough food and the corns probably would not be needed. Diana accomodated the request of swapping the mac for the corn. I wanted no chili. Then corn on the cob came with chili. She said that she had put in the order. And then a second order of corn came without chili. Ronnie, being the pure angel she is, was like Do you need the chili corn back? And I was like, now we licked it. Simply because I feel that the restaurant would be tacky to deliver a wrong side and then ask for it back. Like for the prices you all be charging, they can let us absorb the cost of their mistake. Both ears of corn were left. The real kiss on my birthday from the universe was that I was allowed to have an entire side of the gnocchi for 16 dollars. It came. Now there was enough for Ronnie to share. I will admit that before a gurantee of more gnocchi I was wondering if they could share. We also got a tri-flavored cookie with ice cream with a sea horse cookie with ice cream. It was great. Exceptional even. And the garlic on the brussels, I am glad I am not the king of the undead. So this place is a gem under the sea that I can visit from time to time. It is just not that close. But it is not the white whale, nor am I Ahab. I can go more often. And after yesterday's dinner, I do not see how I can not.

I would expect him to at least acknowledge us. A simple "hello"or "I'll be with you in just a minute" would've sufficed. He finally asked if we wanted bread and we said yes, but it never came and we had to ask a server who was passing by if he could get us some. He was very nice and brought us fresh hot bread. Second bartender was a little better and asked us if we needed anything. But for the most part we were ignored. Food was just ok. Nothing to write home about. We finally asked for the check from a third bartender and he didn't even look at us or say a single word and just grabbed our check and put it on the bar. Dude, you're in the service industry but your people skills suck. Again a "here you are" would've been nice. Left a terrible taste in our mouth. Won't be back to eat at the bar ever again.
