    This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Brea. My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years and this is our favorite date night spot/place for celebrating an anniversary, birthday, exciting life moment. The service is always amazing, the quality of the food and the ingredients is unreal. We always feel at home here, and always rave about this place to our friends and family. Highly recommend! I also love the three course meal deals on the weekends, and the weekday deal on Wednesdays. Definitely check it out!

    We have been coming here since it opened along with its sister restaurant Cha Cha's, just a few doors down. Our favorite spot if it is just the two of us is the bar. The bartenders have changed over the years, but the caliber of service has not. If you arrive late for a drink & dinner, you are never rushed...actually I hadn't even realized we were the last as my husband and I asked about different liquors we hadn't noticed before. You can't go wrong with the Almafi Fizz, my favorite and one of their signature drinks. Their food is outstanding, love the scallops! Last night we went for my husband's birthday...it was Monday night special, lasagna, garlic bread & Caesar salad for I believe was $20. I can eat, yet I took half of it home! My husband loves their chicken parmesan...he too took half home and was pleased that they presented him with tiramisu & a candle for his birthday...the extra touch appreciated! Yes, I would give them a 10! We will be back next week for a relaxing dinner or maybe Cha Cha's for a little more noise... let's face it, tacos, tequila brings the noise level up!

    All the dishes were very good. The seafood dishes were very fresh, both side salad choices were excellent. The crab and shrimp fettuccine was rich with good size fresh, shrimps. The staff is very professional and we were checked on very often by several staff members and I believe the proprietor as well. Very nice dining experience.
