Jessie ChiangOctober 3, 2014Great place for catching up and delicious organic food. Ordered the steak Cobb salad for dinner and Hub had Rib eye. He asked them to replace the fries with grilled artichoke and they did! Very goodUpvote2Downvote
Don Michael AntonioAugust 30, 2014Very good, hip and somewhat upscale grill in the Spectrum！Steak, fish, shrimp all excellent. Great bar too and wine selection by the glass is superb！Not too bad in prices. Enjoy a special treat there!Upvote2Downvote
Cerise JaneDecember 20, 2014Service here was amazing! The atmosphere was busy&loud,yet you could still have a nice conversation at your table without feeling like your yelling. Food was delicious! Must try the chimichurri steak!Upvote1Downvote
Crazy good burger combo for happy hour. $12 for giant burger, a mountain of fries, and a craft beer. But next time I might wanna try the $4 tacos or skewers too.
UpvoteDownvote- Now during happy hour all the listed entrees come with a beer or $6 wine. The fried chicken sandwich wasn't as good as the burger. The cucumber refresher cocktail was great.UpvoteDownvote
Justin EdicolaFebruary 28, 2013Lol orange flavored vodka...how bout a real drink?...This place has more than enough to choose from besides cheap flavored liquor...the food and service are great so don't listen to whiny OC ppl..Upvote1Downvote
Daniel P.March 1, 2020Happy hour! Burger and drink for $15 and both items are amazing. Get the “tater tots” too. Yum!UpvoteDownvote
Connie MasonJuly 31, 2015Loved the ambiance and I hear the bar is great. But the food was really bad. Everything, including dessert was so salty. And I love salt, so that's saying something.UpvoteDownvote
You prob won't get a flavored liquor unless it's well made (like Effen Black Cherry), but have them muddle you something. I suggest the raspberry martini.

Lauren-Michelle KraftAugust 19, 2013If you're at a table ask for Omar he's the sweetest but if you're at the bar then ask for Michael. He's new but equally awesome :-)UpvoteDownvote
Marie LaCassaSeptember 22, 2015Saturday brunch was amazing. $18 brunch menu which includes a cocktail! Great food and service.UpvoteDownvote- Scott FerreiraJanuary 4, 2012The BLT and Bistro Burger were delicious! Fries and salad on the side were great complements. The starter bread was so-so, nothing great. Servers are very friendly.UpvoteDownvote
Best happy hour around! Drinks and food either $4-$8 and great pours. Ribs, street tacos and Skewers yummy. Makers Mark Manhattans!!!!UpvoteDownvote- Darrick LinJune 27, 2021Filet Mignon with Mashed Potatoes & Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon 🥓.UpvoteDownvote
FULL bar (they even have absinthe!) and the skirt steak is to die for!UpvoteDownvote
Jessica W.November 20, 2011The Asian Chopped Chicken Salad was rather uninspired, go to Pei Wei for the same thing. The Lamb Meatballs were very special in flavor and tenderness. The Champagne Lemonade is delicious.UpvoteDownvote
Charles LiuAugust 2, 2014Their prawns are amazing and my friends tell me that the oysters melted in your mouth.UpvoteDownvote- They aren't supposed to tell you but it's free to add avocado and bacon to the happy hour burger.UpvoteDownvote
