- BBrianVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe 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?More infoWater Grill - South Coast PlazaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Costa Mesa•4.8
- WWhittyVIPOrange County •17 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 7, 2024Chapter 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!More infoChapter One: the modern localPrice: Moderate• Gastro Pub• Santa Ana•4.6
