Best Cozy Restaurants in Santa Ana

nice play The restaurant is an inspiration in Cuban food and drinks. I really liked it and the service was excellent.

The best service I have had in a long time in any restaurant. From the hostess switching out the white napkins to black ones because we were wearing black. My date didn’t even notice until I pointed it out to her. Service was great throughout the night. The food was delicious as well. What more could we ask for?

Wonderful experience. Food & customer service were 10/10. Highly recommend. We drove 1hr to try this place out & we left extremely satisfied. Worth the drive . Make reservations before going . That’s how good this place is & the vibe inside makes you feel like you’re in a different country.

This was an awesome, unique experience. The building itself is unassuming but once you're inside it's fun seeing how this home was transformed into a fine dining restaurant. The staff was extremely attentive, polite, and accommodating. The transformation of specific rooms to house couples, quads and large parties was unique and worked well. The food was incredibly well prepared and the flavor was incredible. I highly recommend it as a unique dining experience for an intimate birthday or special occasion celebration.

Chapter One feels like stepping into a scene in a novel. A converted bookstore, the menu often contains fun literary allusions and the simple fare is well crafted and cooked perfectly. They also make fun variations of moscow mules. The menu changes but there always seem to be mac and cheese, elevated vegan tacos, other tacos, steak and there is always something delicious. A fun and worthy destination that will not break the bank!
