Best Californian Restaurants in Placentia / Yorba Linda

Food was great as usual. Shared the pate, which was very good. Plenty of pate, grilled whole grain bread, variety of fruits, pickled red onion, pickled green onion slices(first time having this-it was slightly sweet & tasty), & jam. For my entree,I ordered my usual Gorgonzola & Granny Smith apple with grilled chicken. MUCH better than my last visit. My only complaint last visit was the lone thin slice of apple. That’s correct. ONE slice of apple. Perhaps the kitchen supervisor was new(?). Anyway, the salad was great. My friend had the rare grilled tuna sandwich. VERY good. My last visit, my MIL had the same & was also very pleased with her choice. We will continue to be regular patrons. The food & service are great. The brief tour of the garden/nursery is a nice distraction from LA traffic & the hustle of city life.

Delicious food, tasty drinks, nice ambiance and view of California adventure and the firework show. A little pricey but expected given the area. They do not have a kids menu but accommodated with a cheese pizza for the kid in our group.

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.

The ambiance is fantastic! Great for galpals and sexy for a romantic dinner for two! The food is amazing! We were there to celebrate my sister’s birthday; they had the short rib grilled cheese sandwich & I had the burger. I do not know how they prepare the French fries but they’re addicting! I cannot say enough about the quality of Story!

This was our second time eating lunch there. Service was friendly, efficient and timely. We had the fish taco special, the mussels in leek broth and the Parker house rolls. If you get nothing else, get the rolls! Crispy and buttery on the outside and doughy and soft inside. The fried fish in the tacos were crunchy and the sauce was flavorful and accompanied the fish well. The mussels were cooked just right - still soft and flavorful in a light, savory sauce. The butter cake was the epitome of decadence. Definitely recommend for lunch.
