    We had a great table and waiter. Drinks were very good. We split the Caesar salad to start, which was in huge pieces and a little unmanageable. I would prefer it chopped and a little spicier. We ordered the lasagna and the cioppino and both were outstanding! A great dinner before a show at the Improv!

    We went there because we knew we would be in Brea at dinner time. This place had great reviews, so we booked a table early in the day. The food is good. The weekend special was appealing. But, we never saw our server (did she have too many tables??) and the noise level in there was punishing!!! We wanted it to be a date night, but when you cannot easily converse due to how loud the restaurant is, it's hard to enjoy the date night.
