    Dining at the Beachcomber is always an outstanding experience. The food is absolutely delicious from the clam chowder to the lobster roll or mahi mahi tacos to the beignets. All the staff are welcoming and friendly. They take the time to make sure everything is what you expected. Beyond that, you can’t find a better ambiance or view than on the beach in Crystal Cove. The Beachcomber is one of my absolute favorite places to dine in Orange County.

    Had breakfast/brunch at Lorea. The restaurant has a beautiful patio with heaters (for cooler weather). Service and food was good. Recommend the apple pull bread and the french toast, for something different with a twist.

    We have been wanting to try Brightwaters for a long time and finally made it in! We were not disappointed! Anne and her entire staff were amazing. There was a musician playing and it was the perfect noise level where we could still have a conversation. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the drinks and menu options. There were six of us and everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. I can’t wait to go back and try more items! Great addition to downtown Huntington Beach!
