    I recently visited this fantastic new restaurant in Brea and had an unforgettable experience. From the moment. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a modern feel. The service was top-notch throughout the evening. The food was exceptional. I started with the brussels sprouts—definitely a standout. The potatoes were similarly impressive, crispy yet soft, with just the right amount of seasoning. As for the steak, it was cooked to absolute perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Their drink menu didn’t disappoint either. The cocktails were expertly crafted, with a range of options to complement the meal. Overall, it was an incredible dining experience. I highly recommend this spot if you're in the area—delicious food, fantastic drinks, and impeccable service. Definitely a place I’ll be returning to over and over!

    We visited Bruno's restaurant on 2/14/25, prior to attending a show at the Civic Center. Our reservation was made weeks in advance and Bruno's and a show was our Valentine's Day plan for the evening. There was a line out the door upon our arrival. We were greeted by Stephanie at the hostess station, were served drinks at the bar by Aaron and served dinner by varying staff, and attended to by Sophia. Sophia provided us with top notch service from start to finish. Ron and I dined on Fritto Misto, Lobster Ravioli, Short ribs with homemade pasta, Tiramisu and bread with balsamic vinegar, peppers and olive oil. That was the best bread we have had and all of the food and wine we consumed was absolutely delicious. Thank you for making our evening at Bruno's a wonderful one. Dawne and Ron

    Our first time to En Famila and on Valentine's Day no less - so it was busy. With that said, there was a live band playing lively music and the atmosphere was electric. We had a reservation and were seated promptly by a friendly hostess. Our server was spot on and helpful with the menu as were newbies. Our appetizers were really good - guacamole and then the potato burrito things.. highly recommended! We each ordered different entrees and everything was excellent. It was a chilly evening but warm inside. We really want to return on a warm evening when all the windows and doors are open to take in the energy of the surrounding area - lots going on in that area!. After dinner, we sat and listened to the music - and the chef/owner came by to introduce himself and ask how things were. He was kind and genuine - a lost touch these days. We will certainly return and if you are reading this, I urge you to give it a try - I don't think that you will be disappointed.
