    Food and wine were good. Service was slow in the beginning but it improved over time. I recommend getting the wine membership to save money on wine and entires on Tuesday.

    Excellent food and perfect portions size. We enjoyed the lamb shank and filet mignon. Not overly stuffed so we shared the mini Bundt whiskey cake. All so good!

    Absolutely LOVE the food here. Unfortunately our waiter wasn’t very attentive, which prompts me to give 4 stars. He had to be flagged down to take our main dish orders well after our appetizers had been cleared. Our apps arrived and we had to ask the runner for plates. Drink was empty for a while before an appearance and while he was a pleasant employee the level of service did not match the monetary tip that was left. We did get a nice visit from the manager checking on our table early in the visit. The Ragu was fantastic, steak salad is great, the salmon delicious too. Our favorite app is seasonal so can’t wait until the ahi nachos come back

    Food was pretty good. I had the swordfish and my wife had the filet. Cook on both were pretty spot on. The wines were so so. Not bad but not great. Value of the food and portions was good. Would go back

    Just a good spot overall, my dog and I have a great time - everytime. Thankful and Blessed to be able to enjoy a nice glass of wine & steak here. Thanks to Rancho Capistrano Winery, I get business done and my dog enjoy the pork belly bites 😎 those are amazing as well. Either way, 10/10 for years to come.

    We had a party of four. We ordered two starters, One crostini and one salad with chicken. The crostini finally came but no plates. The salad never came. Three of the four orders came. The steaks were completely raw and sent back. I asked for my starter salad that they forgot, it was brought wrong with no chicken. The waitress apologized and the chicken was delivered after I finished the salad. The steaks were returned and I asked about my pork belly order which never came. They delivered it, and we asked for salt and pepper again , which came as we were finishing our meal. The server apologized and explained the backup was due to a banquet. She was wonderful and did not cause the problem. We expected a manager that never came. We were offered free dessert and only one took up the offer. The server also said they took something off our bill but I wanted out and paid. We have our three families who live in Ladera, I doubt any of us will return.

    We have been multiple times and usually walk away loving the service, food and ambiance. Unfortunately today was a different experience. We ordered appetizers, main and and desert and not once did the staff come to take away the previous plates. I’m not trying to be picky but when your paying $300 and minimum $50 dollar tip I don’t feel we should have to stack our own plates to make room for our food. Also the food was cold and vegetables hard. It was such a bummer and although I will be returning I most likely wouldn’t came back as quickly as i have in the past.

    Food was OK but not great. Risotto with the lamb shank was undercooked. Not an exceptional meal.
