    We had a party of three. Enjoyed the OC Restaurant Week selection of tuna tartare as well menu salads - steak and avocado crunch. All food was excellent. Tried three different red wines which were all good. Service was great too. Minor hiccup in getting seated but overall a good night. Would recommend.

    Restaurant Review I recently dined at [Restaurant Name] and my experience was less than satisfactory. We arrived at 8:20 PM, and despite the restaurant accepting reservations until 9 PM, we were immediately informed that the kitchen would close in 20 minutes. This set a rushed tone for the evening. Surprisingly, after being told to hurry, our waiter took over 10 minutes to even acknowledge our presence. The restaurant was still fairly crowded, but the hostess, who initially rushed us, came to our table and extinguished our candles while we were still eating, further emphasizing the urgency to leave. Unfortunately, this wasn't a one-time occurrence. Having visited [Restaurant Name] four times now, I have consistently noticed subpar service each visit. While the food has its redeeming qualities, the service experience leaves much to be desired. It’s disappointing when the dining experience is marred by feeling rushed and overlooked. I hope the management takes steps to improve the service, as the restaurant does have potential. Overall Rating: [Your Rating] Stars Recommendation: If you decide to dine here, be aware of the service and plan accordingly.

    The reason my review is wonky is not a slight to the establishment in any way. That night a sprinkler activated out on the patio. Guests meals ended early from a very sudden event. I'd finished my lovely meal/food and was enjoying a great conversation that ended abruptly with gushing water from an activated. sprinkler Training of staff can never be overrated at any place of employment, especially in instances where safety is at risk.

    My husband and I came at dinner time on a Saturday. The restaurant was basically empty but it took a long time for servers to come to us and waited even longer to get our drinks. My steak was dry and vegetables didn’t have seasoning. Our experience didn’t feel up to par from the reviews I’ve seen and definitely wouldn’t go back.

    Very pretty environment but very loud environment on a busy night. Like most restaurants these days. Not very many dividers to keep noise level lower. Server was very nice, Food was very good. Good overall experience. Patio is very nice in the warmer months.

    Rancho Capistrano Winery is a great restaurant with a very professional staff and great atmosphere. I’m a long time member and love their wine also.

    Our server, Avery, was exceptional. We usually go to the SJC location and this was first time at Ladera Ranch. Here is an honest food review: we shared the coconut shrimp appetizer. While super tasty, the shrimps were very hard and dense. The shrimp and angel hair pasta - shrimp was cooked perfectly and very tasty. The salmon was just slightly too well done for my liking. The jasmine rice it was served with was a clump of pasty overcooked rice that had more of a mashed potato consistency. Server took it off bill - inedible. The whiskey Bundt cake yummy. As always, the Maverick wine was delicious. If the winery would allow us to choose the wines we enjoy rather than take what they choose - we would rejoin their wine club.
