Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Garden Grove / Westminster

Booked for valentines weekend and enjoyed the food and service ! Sat outside in the garden area and was able to enjoy my food and have a conversation. Definitely will come back next time to try more of the menu !

This was our Valentine's weekend dinner and it could not have been more SPECIAL! Not only is the decor always warm, comfortable and inviting to see (Lots of BEAUTIFUL wood!), but the Customer experience was literally, off the charts! We were pleasantly/ genuinely enthusiastically greeted by 3 different people who treated us like valued guests, NOT just a Customer and this set the tone for a wonderful dinner! Our Server had to have been exhausted from the night before, but she didn't let it show! We felt VERY PAMPERED by her! (Sorry I didn't get her name, but Med length dark hair and we sat in a booth near the lobster tank.) And THE BEST part was the food! ALWAYS incredible and worth every penny! Husband had Cioppino that had SO much FRESH, WHOLE pieces of seafood (Shells were even intact!), that he used the tasty Texan Garlic bread to clean up his plate as the Cajun-style soup TASTED LIKE NEW ORLEANS! I had VERY delicious Shrimp - and they were SO LARGE, that I brought leftovers home to enjoy at another time. WONDERFUL DINNER! Thank you, King's! We will return!

Post Valentine's Day date! We wanted to go a fancy steakhouse. They were fully committed on Vday, so we were lucky to find reservations the day after. Parking: $8 Valet Parking Dress Code: Business Casual Ambiance/Environment: They have plenty of indoor seating. The inside is dark, but we were seated in the outer area where it was bright. Our reservation was at 16:30, and it wasn't as busy. It became busier around their dinner rush. Service: We checked in with the hostess, and we were seated promptly. Shout out to Alex! She was quick, efficient, and knowledgeable about the menu. She explained the whole menu to us since it was our first time dining there. She even recommended us her favorite dishes and popular dishes. We were constantly checked on, and our waters were filled a couple times. Food & drinks: 1) Bread & Butter (complimentary) - The bread was huge and soft! There was a generous amount of creamy butter. 2) Lobster Bisque - We started off with appetizers. The bisque was so creamy and not too thick. It had lots of flavors, but we prefer a bit more lobster bits. 3) Truffle Cream Corn - This paired deliciously with our steaks! The truffle flavor came through! The corn was sooo creamy! 4) Smoked Gouda & Bacon Au Gratin Potatoes - This also paired perfectly with our steaks! There was a generous amount of cheese and sliced potatoes. There wasn't as much bacon, only a few pieces. 5) Tomahawk Ribeye w/ Black Truffle Butter - My bf ordered this medium rare. I got to try some pieces. Although it looked medium well, it still cut easily and soft. The Black Truffle Butter gave it even more flavor. We definitely enjoyed it! 6) "Proprietary" Prime Cajun Ribeye - I ordered this medium rare. It cut easily and not too chewy. The cajun flavor didn't really come through, but I still enjoyed it. 7) Passion Margarita - Alex told us this was currently their popular cocktail. I love margaritas! I really liked this drink! Fruity & strong! Pricing: $$$$

We had the pleasure of being served by Melissa on Valentine’s Day, and she truly made our evening special. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. The wagyu was absolutely delicious, and the ahi tuna was perfection! Melissa’s friendly personality and genuine care for her guests stood out, making our dining experience exceptional. Thank you, Melissa, for going above and beyond—we’ll definitely be back!

The amazing Madison took care of us; her friendliness and approachability made Valentine's Day Dinner extra special without seeming too formal and stuffy like you would expect from an elevated steakhouse. The steak was good, but the oyster appetizer, only found on the Valentine's prefix menu, stole the show. Hopefully they can add this to the regular menu.
