    Ocean 48 exceeded every expectation during our family dinner for five. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was spectacular, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. Throughout the meal, we kept saying, "This is the best [insert dish] we've ever had!" We enjoyed an incredible array of dishes: oysters, filets, a bone-in ribeye, scallops, sides, and a key lime pie that was simply divine. The cocktails were perfectly curated, complementing the meal beautifully. Ocean 48 is a must-visit for anyone seeking a flawless dining experience. We found absolutely nothing lacking and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

    Another year, another great Thanksgiving meal at Ruth’s Cris in Irvine. Service is terrific and the Turkey meal is delicious. We’ve never been disappointed with our holiday meal and best of all, they send us home with “leftovers” even though we eat everything on our plates. The “leftovers” comprise another meal to eat tomorrow. Thank you Ruth’s Cris for your consistent excellence.

    Our server was amazing. He explained all the options available in great detail and went above and beyond to make my girlfriends food with the ingredients she desired. The steak fajitas I ordered were the best fajitas I have ever had. I would highly recommend the Big O if you are searching for a top notch restaurant.
