“Just found this place and loved it! Tried both Salmon and Cod plates and they were delicious! The garlic sauce was special, the fish was fresh and not over-cooked. A good value for the fish plate with rice, salad and grilled veggies. Also ordered the Baklava, it was slightly too sweet for me but I liked the crispy texture. Will definitely come back! Outdoor seating is a plus as well for taking our dog!”

“Jay helped me this visit. I like Urban Plates! Easy to eat healthy here. So many options for the health conscious people. I got the annual membership so I could come here regularly! It's 2024 so this is a great way to start that healthy eating resolution! Their cookies are so amazing! You've gotta try them. Would be nice if they have more seasonal selections. I hope they bring new recipes! I'll be revisiting often. See you next time!”

“I was craving a ribeye, and after reading excellent reviews about this place, my coworkers and I decided to share our meal. To start, we ordered Scallop Crodu, Poke, and Bone Marrow. The Scallop Crodu and Bone Marrow were delicious, while the Poke was just okay. Our main course was a 32 oz Ribeye with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Unfortunately, the Ribeye was just average for the price, as I've had better at other steakhouses for less money. The mashed potatoes were good, but the asparagus was overcooked and mushy. On a positive note, our server provided excellent service.”

“Excellent experience. Our family has been going to this location for 25 years. We moved to another state and back recently and I can say this restaurant just keeps getting better. Some weekend nights they also have live solo music. You feel like you’re in Italy but actually right in the bay.”

“Everything to need for gourmet cooking. Fresh organic fruit and veggies. And ah eggs, get there early and stand in line as soon as you can. By 10ish, eggs may be gone. And I was so happy to see that they have duck breasts! Parking is plentiful from the Newport Coast drive side. I also love tamales from here.”

“All of those crews are so amazing and food?? Absolutely 💯 delicious. Any menus are perfect choices for anyone 👌 Love Sup noodle !!! I think every location of Sup noodle is so delicious. I only have a picture for 'to go'. But the vibes inside are also good. It is good for family or friends gathering. It is also good for couples too! So crowded all the time!”

“Terra Mia Pizza offers exceptional pizzas with a rich flavor profile. However, be prepared for crowds as it tends to get busy. To optimize your experience, consider ordering ahead. Keep in mind that seating is limited inside, especially during peak times. I ordered the Hawaiian pizza 30 minutes ahead at Terra Mia Pizza, and it arrived fresh upon my arrival. The delightful mouthfeel upon the first bite added to the overall great experience. Despite the bustling atmosphere, ordering ahead is a wise choice for a seamless visit. Seating remains limited during peak times.”

“Really enjoyed dinner here. The food was fantastic, flavorful, and delicious. We sat on the outdoor patio which was nice. Highly recommend the bread appetizer, best bread I have had in a restaurant! The Tuna Poke was great as well”

10130 Warner Ave suite H, Fountain Valley, CA 92708, United States

“Great pizza, with different varieties and combinations. Good salads too. Plus a variety of other options. A fun place to go with the family or watch a game - lots of televisions and there’s always a game somewhere there. Also a fun entertainment side section. Outside seating in front. The lunch prices can’t be beat, too!”

“First time visitor at Whole Foods Market! Heard about them, just never shopped there. We came on a Thursday evening, around 5:30 pm. Parking was almost full. The store was crowed but nothing too crazy. It is actually a big store, at least bigger than I had in mind. They do have lots of options, lots of different products, meats, pastries, soft drinks, wine, hard liquor, cold cuts, etc. Store is well lit, well organized, and clean. The cashier and bagger were ok, not rude or anything, just not very welcoming, we barely got a “Hi” out of them. I didn’t know it was a bit more expensive here than other stores. I usually buy groceries at Trader Joe’s and this store definitely felt a bit more expensive. Is it just me? I didn’t really buy anything extra from my normal grocery lists lol. Oh well! Maybe is just me.”

“I was amazed by the quality of the food, the fact you could have all the meats and seafood as part of the all you can eat buffet. Servers were so attentive, quick, and kind. I don’t know how their rating is not 5/5. Definitely try them out :)”

“This brewery is a hidden gem. Very cool spot to grab some beer and food. This is the main Brewhouse for this company. They also have another satellite tasting room/brewpub. The atmosphere for this place is excellent, especially for being in a business park. They have a huge selection of beer on tap. Really a style of beer for everyone. There is plenty of comfortable seating to choose from. The staff was really helpful with choosing beer fro. Their massive list. If you enjoy the brewery feel, this place is definitely for you. Bring a jacket if it's cold. There is upstairs seating, lounge seating, bar top seating, and outdoor seating. On the back side of the building parking can be tight and sparse. However there is plenty of parking on the front side of the building and on the street just a short walk away. There is really only this brewery in this industrial complex, so it's a good things that they have a good size menu of food to choose from. It seems very family friendly, big picnic benches to accommodate large parties of people. They also do quarter poor, so if you are a tasting enthusiast, you can try all. Of their beers without spending a fortune. Restrooms for customers, spacious facility. Very well maintained place.”

Really enjoyed it, restaurant is clean and staff was so kind and amazing!! Chefs did a good job. Wish I had more photos but we ate everything. Pic if fish and icecream macaroons. Sesame chick was good.”

“We love going to Christakis on the weekends. They often have a guitarist playing relaxing music that our kids are mesmerized by. Plus, they're able to draw on the paper table settings which is also very handy if you have young kids. The food and service are always excellent and friendly. Highly recommended”

“I had a good experience at Zombee Donuts. It is pretty warm there. I guess because they have rise the dough. The place gives me “a home away from home” vibes. I had a coffin bar for four dollars. The chocolate was rich and dough did not have an oily aftertaste. Service was great. I originally picked up four random donuts. I got a glazed with chocolate spider, one that tasted like a lemon bar, glazed with blue and orange sprinkles, and a double chocolate cake donut with chocolate cereal. Me and my brother split the four, I really enjoyed my lemon bar donut. Had a nice balance of sweet and tangy. The dough was soft and had a nice crisp edge to it. The glazed with the chocolate spider was good. The chocolate adds a nice contrast to the glaze and the glaze was not overpowering. I was expecting the spider to be stuffed with crème or a jelly. Service was super friendly, but they did not have paper towels restocked in the bathroom. I will come back just for the donuts.”

“When I thought of Mediterranean food, I was a bit skeptical because I had never had it. Upon arrival the place was quiet and had a big bar when you walked in. I was greeted by a man who sat us and we had a younger guy who was our bus boy and he was polite but the reason for my rating was the older lady who kept checking on us through out the evening. She was the cutest lady with a warm smile. Very friendly and also very hospitable. She made sure our food and alcoholic beverages were to our liking and she made me feel like family. I loved the food. The service and also the atmosphere. I will never forget how amazing the food was!!!!! Great job everyone and to the lady who helped us tonight. You deserve so much more than a thank you. May god bless you and your family!!!”

“A cozy but pricey spot for meat lovers. The crispy duck should be called a croquette. Good service at the bar on a Monday night. Check in with the hostess before sitting at the bar. The German chocolate cake was excellent and huge!”

“Love this place, every bite is a treat. The food makes me so happy. I always get this duo, the manouri flatbread with Arugula, Figs, Oregano, and Honey... And the Paithakia Lamb Chops with Fries.”
