Nothing is better as a traveler than walking into a bar full of locals who welcome you with open arms. TY for the incredible food and ideal place to wind down from our long day of conference center life.
My wife and I have been looking for a place like this for a long time. Nowadays, it's impossible to find a truly original place where the food will be interesting and delicious at the same time. Unfortunately, such restaurants are only present in Europe and large cities in the United States. But the
Can we just talk about how great this place is? We had great food and wonderful service! We will be back again!
This cute place became my favorite restaurant in Balboa Island last night. Nice selection of wines by the glass, delicious food, cool vibes, great service and amazing staff. We’ll definitely be back.
The food here was totally worth it and affordable for the quality! Service was wonderful and I enjoyed the experience all in all.
Went here with family for a drink and some appetizers and we all really enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly staff. If you order the bread, be sure to ask for a side of curry for dipping! It was recommended to us by a regular, and it proved to be the right move. We will be back.
Partner and I were visiting from out of town and found this place via google maps. Had several glasses of wine, the shishito peppers, zucchini blossoms, salmon, and the short rib fettuccini. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend. Owner was lovely to chat to. We’ll be back next time we’re in tow
Had an amazing night here! The food is amazing and creative and the hospitality was off the charts! 100% will recommend and go back.
This cozy bistro is like a warm hug. There is a positive vibe that resonates. The three of us had different entrees; pasta, fish and juicy burger. All beautifully served and delicious.
The fish and chips were great. The tacos and pot pie were just okay.
Loved the visual environment. Good food. Small bar usually has Reserved placards for majority of seats. Extremely noisy - Cost & no acoustical ceiling or walls will keep us from returning
Amazing experience! It was a busy night during the holidays. They originally couldn’t accommodate our reservation but they texted a couple hours after when something freed up. It’s a level of customer engagement you never see in SoCal. It was the perfect night for our family visiting from out of tow
Great food manager was a friendly guy...highly recommended
Wife and I flew out from Austin to p meet her family in Balboa area and were blessed to find this place on a lucky search. Owner is outstanding and the service is superb, wait until you eat. Mind blown. Would recommend to anyone!!! Must visit.
Let's go to Europe. No let's stay on the island. Well enjoy both, go for dinner at Royal Hen.
Great food, cosy atmosphere, Cynthia is the absolute best hostess.
By far my favorite spot in all of Orange County. I’ve been coming here for a year and a half now and Cynthia and the entire staff have always treated me like I was a long lost loved one! I thought I was special but it turns out, after witnessing it over countless evenings here, that they treat every
Very nice ambiance and food is great as well.
