Restaurants near DoubleTree by Hilton Orange County Airport

Great option for late dining! The pizza, pasta and salad offerings were all delicious. Our server Xavier was fantastic as always. Another enjoyable North Italia dining experience for our family!

We’re regulars at this location and they rarely disappoint. Our server last night, Matt was exceptional. The food was on point and at the start of a busy pre-Thanksgiving weekend we had a wonderful experience.  We always appreciate the seasonal offerings, the fresh ingredients, and the beautiful presentation. 

We usually sit at the bar so we can order when we are ready, the bar wait staff are excellent, we can also enjoy the entertainment. It’s our once a week Friday night date. We always leave saying what a great evening.

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!

During our recent 3-day weekend getaway, we stumbled upon Citra Bar & Kitchen at the newly renovated Hotel Zessa, and it quickly became our go-to spot for nearly all our meals. This place is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the modern yet cozy ambiance. The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the drinks. The Citra Margarita was refreshingly perfect, and my wife couldn't get enough of the Hibiscus Cooler. We also indulged in the Casamigos Flight, which was a delightful treat. Following our server’s recommendations turned out to be the best decision. We tried nearly everything on the lunch and dinner menus, but the Chicken Taquitos stood out as our favorite appetizer—we ordered them multiple times! As for the entrees, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but our top picks were the Chicken A La Brasa, Blackened Mahi Mahi, and Salmon Salad. Each dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Being gluten-free, I was thrilled to find that Citra Bar & Kitchen had plenty of options that catered to my dietary needs without compromising on taste. Overall, our experience at Citra Bar & Kitchen was outstanding. The revitalization of Hotel Zessa and the exceptional dining experience here is a testament to Santa Ana's commitment to enhancing their community. We can’t wait to return, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area. You will not be disappointed!
