Orange Hill

"The views were stunning and the atmosphere (including the smoky smell of firewood) was mesmerizing! Also, the service was really nice. That said, though its presentation was lovely, the food was … well just ok. My wife’s chicken was dry, and my wagyu steak was chewy and nearly tasteless. We both agreed we’ll definitely be back, but next time we’ll stick to a charcuterie board and wine."

"First timers here, me and my girlfriend decided to celebrate Valentines early and I had made reservations for Orange Hill. Upon entry you have valet service and amazing landscape to walk through. Getting seated was fairly quick given how busy it was. Upon seating we were waited on and chose the Caesar salad and potato with caviar. Both were delicious options and I also got a cocktail. For dinner I got the NY strip steak and my girlfriend had the half chicken, both were amazing options and tasted delicious. On top of the great food, service and ambiance, the views were amazing during our evening here. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for an intimate dinner, I will definitely be returning. Amazing job to our waiter as well."

"If youve never been, expect an experience! Food, service was great. Come out and enjoy a memorable moment with 180 views of OC to LA. I reserved a specific time however still 15+ wait time and flavors were not matched to my taste, specifically the steaks. Overall I will definitely come back to explore the menu options."

"I had a great experience here celebrating a special occasion! Food was tasty and the view was great. It was definitely pricey, but you get what you pay for so no complaints about that at all. The only reason I would not give it 5 stars is because it was very noisy and a bit chaotic in the restaurant; people walking by your table every 10 seconds, echoing conversations, etc... However, I had a great experience here so I would 100% recommend if you don't mind the bustling atmosphere!"

"This place is known for their great view, ambiance, and food (their steaks in particular). I've been here for breakfast/brunch time and it was honestly okay. The eggs benedict were served on a circular cut piece of toast and eggs benedict should be served on an English muffin. Using a circular cut out slice of bread felt a bit cheap. However, I'm giving this place 4 stars because where they shine is in their dinner services. If you come here, come for dinner. Their Zinfandel braised short rib and their prime rib (well done) are delicious! They give you complimentary cornbread (I recommend not eating the salt that goes with it as the cornbread is fine on its own). Do note that you will need to pay for valet parking when you arrive. You can make reservations through Yelp or via phone cause it can get packed for dinner. One thing I do think as a business they should do is update some of their chairs. When I came for brunch, the leather cushion on my chair was ripped. They should have the budget to replace a few chairs every now and then. Honestly, they should just replace all the chairs to keep everything looking nice. Lastly, of the alcoholic drinks, the paid vacation is really good. It's on the sweeter side so it depends what you like. I've ordered that the last three times or so that I've come here."
