What diners say — our read

Read together, this corpus is a split decision. Where service comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength.

If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (8 reviews). One subject never comes up here: how long an order takes. 8 of 9 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 0 are two or lower.

The kitchen graded a B (82/100) on 2 high-priority and 2 basic violations at its last inspection, which is roughly where the reviews sit too. DBPR last walked in on April 13, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is downward over the records we hold. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 23% of the restaurants we score. This is a thin corpus — 9 reviews — and a couple of strong opinions move the average a long way. The citations behind that grade include food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and nonfood-contact surfaces clean.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

    5 stars on the atmosphere of the restaurant. Chris is an amazing waiter and really sold the vibe of fancy, his full name is Christopher but honestly this guy deserves a raise, seriously, if the manager is reading this, please give this guy a raise, he made the entire atmosphere of the restaurant feel warm and inviting.

    I ordered shrimp for my salad, and for $11, I got just 3 pretty small shrimp. The inside is very noisy as well. Because of the hard surfaces. You can't get any glass of wine for less than $14.
