Best Casual Restaurants in Seal Beach

Great food and wonderful atmosphere! We enjpyed a late night dinner!

The ambiance is great for groups and gathering. Christmas decor all around. Live music in the background and great place to catch up with people. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. The in house bread are soft, moist, and freshly baked. We had 18oz bone in steak, lobster mac and cheese, corn risotto, spaghetti and meatballs, and mushrooms. All complimented one another. My aunt also got a celebration cheesecake since it is her birthday. The butter cake is so soft, moist, and decadent. Our server is so polite despite the busy night. Overall, we had a great time. Thank you and until next time.

The food was outstandingly fresh, high quality, and creatively prepared and served. The price fixe menu of many courses seemed to climb a bell curve, with the least interesting being the shrimp chip and dip starter ‘snack’ , climbing to a magnificent crescendo with the the scallop and mussel small plate, and an equally exquisite plate of the freshest sliced kampachi. Each plate was beautiful, graced with curated vegetables, flowers, and delicate sauces that completed, never overpowered. Our only complaint: we found the dessert disappointing in flavor, appearance and texture: a choux pastry ball with a heavy dull filling, sitting on top of a scatter of what resembled stale cocoa puff cereal pieces. I would have traded it for the rich creamy mascapone ice cream served earlier, sans the caviar topping. The service was outstanding: gracious, helpful, attentive, knowledgeable and well orchestrated. Overall we had a fabulous dining experience, exceeding our highest expectations. In most every way, including price, dining here is a special occasion; we could not understand how or why most diners we observed were wearing gym clothes, T-shirts and jeans, sneakers, fuzzy slippers. What’s next: dining in our underwear? How about a dress code?!

We really enjoyed our food and the ambience. Everything was fresh and I definitely will be back soon.

Enjoyed our dining experience. Food was good and service was excellent!
