It seems like most of the bad reviews here are from their brunch service. We went for dinner and it was one of the best dining experiences I have had in orange county.

The price point for the poor planning offered on their tasting menu experience is a very stark contrast. An hour wait for our reservation certainly cut into the “1.5 hrs” allotted as the max for dinner. Dishes were mid compared to other fine dining restaurants, this is a higher caliber food quality than average family restaurant, but perhaps a reach for this. The staff was very apologetic (except blasé attitude the hostess). Our wonderful waitress did her absolute best to try and deal with what was clearly poorly planned tasting menu timing in a small kitchen and over crowded restaurant. Maybe stop by for brunch drinks and a light bite instead.

So good! Fine dining with top-quality food and service. We dined for the first time last night and must say that the hype lived up to our expectations:)
