Best Restaurants for Foodies in Santa Ana

Our server Courtney was simply amazing! She was attentive and made our lunch experience so much better!

We had the BEST experience at Water Grill! The service was incredible (& super helpful with reco’s… also noted that we were there for a Bday and made it very special). The food was perfect, so delicious. The ambience was everything I could have wished for. We will be back!

Our server was super attentive and patient with my multiple questions about wines and entrees. Food was delicious and for Cali, prices were reasonable. Lunch for two with (2) beers, a glass of wine and two entrees ran $75 before gratuity. On a Wednesday at 1:00pm, very quiet atmosphere inside.

The vibe here is awesome! I started with the shrimp and lobster dumplings, and they were to die for. I also tried the salt and pepper calamari, which was perfectly seasoned and super tasty. For my main course, I had the garlic noodles with prawns, and it was just as delicious. I’ve been here a few times now, and I’ve never left feeling less than satisfied. I’ll definitely be back for more!

Fantastic dinner! Everything on the menu looked great, but we made our selections with several helpful recommendations from our server Alexandre. Everything we had was just outstanding, from ube painkiller and purple rain cocktails and the goat cheese stuffed artichoke flowers appetizer to the maple glazed double pork chop and pistachio panko crusted halibut. Just a short walk from the Hyatt House; we will definitely be back next time we’re in the area. Not inexpensive nor super quiet but if you’re ok with that, you won’t be disappointed.
