"My siblings I have this thing where whenever it's just us getting together, we try to get dessert (mostly they do it for me because I'm the one with the sweet tooth they do it to make me happy). After having all you can eat sushi, we were trying to figure out what dessert places were open late on a Thursday night. The options were limited the only thing I was craving was something crepe like or waffles. Luckily, this place was open. So my siblings I headed out to this place. At first, I was worried because this was the only store in the plaza. That the lights were dimmed pretty low in the store, but it adds to the ambiance of the place. Inside we found a few people either studying, enjoying their late night dessert, eventually, some officers in the area enjoying the coffee. These waffles are so fluffy you can select from their pre-made options or make one up of your own. Aside from this, they also have pazookies other seasonal desserts. So stop by here, the staff is super nice as well will offer you suggestions."

"We visited the Los Alamitos location this trip for late lunch, early dinner. My husband got an All American Beach Melt. It was a full pound cheeseburger on grilled Parmesan Sour Dough. He was delightfully overwhelmed! I decided to try the prime rib dinner because the prime rib dip is out of this world! I was extremely disappointed! The meat was cold and flavorless. The aujus again had no flavor. The creamy horseradish could have been sour cream, and it has absolutely no flavor at all, no zing.Our waitress was sweet but disappointing. All of our food came to the table at the same time. Our appetizer actually arrived after our entree plates. Our waitress did a vanishing act. She did not once return to the table. Our water and tea cups sat empty throughout our meal. Other servers took care of the tables to our right, and to our left, we remained completely ignored. After finishing our meals, we sat for about 15 20 minutes with my husband, trying to get anyone to pay attention to even our empty glasses. Finally, it appeared to be someone in management who asked if we were waiting for boxes. My husband told her we 'd like a check AND boxes so we can leave.She brought our check and 3 boxes, no questions or comments.My husband paid in cash, and she said, I 'll see you next time. He commented. There won 't be a next time. We enjoy the Foothill Ranch location, a much friendlier environment. Today 's lesson learned is that it was not a good idea to order steak at a sandwich shop."

"Sitting outside on the patio with the sun doing down could not have been better. There was no wind and we could easily talk without any loud music. The food was especially worthy to note the fresh burrata and various heirloom tomato pieces appetizer with basil pesto was more than enough for two people. It was so good, we used some bread to sop up any remaining dressing. Our server was willing to have the kitchen share our entree of juicy short ribs and their tasty sweet corn risotto. A 6 oz glass of Merlot was perfect to accompany those meaty short ribs. No specific dessert, but an exceptional affogato brought to the table and our server poured the hot espresso over the vanilla bean ice cream, pure bliss. What a treat to end a beautiful evening and great food."

"Our first visit to the restaurant last night came highly recommended, thanks to a friend's glowing review of their vegan menu. We were pretty excited and ordered two vegan meatball subs. The trouble began when we waited for nearly 25 minutes after placing our order. Our server, a guy named Ryan (I think), came over and told us they were all out of vegan meatballs. Naturally, we asked why it took so long for them to figure this out, which seemed to fluster poor Ryan a bit. However, he was polite throughout the conversation. We decided to switch our order to one regular meatball sub and a vegan eggplant sub, thinking all was well. But, surprise, surprise, Ryan returned a few minutes later to tell us they were also out of eggplant. At this point, we had been waiting for almost 40 minutes with no food in sight, so we asked for the check to pay for the soda my husband had been nursing. Here's why the whole experience left a sour taste in our mouths: 1. Why in the world didn't the waitstaff know about these shortages in advance? It seems like basic communication within the restaurant was seriously lacking. Customers shouldn't be left hanging, wondering if they'll actually get what they ordered. 2. It's kind of baffling that Ryan was left to break the bad news not just once, but twice. You'd think the manager, who we saw chatting with other diners just a few feet away, would have taken the initiative to come over and speak to us directly. 3. I was made to feel like I should be really grateful they decided not to charge us for the Diet Coke my husband drank. Overall it was a terrible experience and no effort was made to rectify what happened. I obviously cannot comment on the food since we never recieved any. As for customer service...HORRIBLE!"

"My husband and I have been loyal customers of Jay, the owner and chef, since his days at a small hole-in-the-wall on Cerritos and Valley View. Now, he's opened a new place in Los Alamitos, and it is absolutely delicious! The fish is among the freshest I've ever tasted, the sauces are flawless, and the vegetables are always fresh, crisp, and flavorful. Jay is incredibly nice and welcoming. This dining experience is truly worth every penny!"
