The Curious Palate - (Near Santa Monica, CA)

Jeremy Micheal George Irvine Breakfast Club is an amazing hidden gem! Nestled right in Irvine, youll find wonderful, kind and sincere service. The food is absolutely delicious! I had the Breakfast Club sandwich, and the bacon was delightfully crispy and flavorful, the eggs were fluffy and even the bread was toasted perfectly. My wife had the Breakfast Burrito, which was perfectly proportioned with fresh ingredients and the salsa on the side had great flavor to add to the meal! The eating area in the restuaraunt is quaint and cozy with a real small town ambiance to it. It really felt like being at home, without having to cook your own food! Our Breakfast was a great experience, and we look forward to coming back

Elida O We had a wonderful experience celebrating our Wedding Anniversary. We were promptly greeted with a smile and seated within a few minutes. Service was out standing! The food was fabulous! The steak was cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed the shrimp & fettuccine. Our dinner ended with a palate pleasing pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. It was delicious! First time customers and looking forward to making KC Steak House one of our favorite familys steakhouse restaurant. Highly recommended for those special occasions.

Olivia Tartaglia We were coming into town for the Rose Bowl game (Jan 1st). I made a reservation the day before for 6pm. We made it about 10 minutes early, was able to be sat immediately. While they were slammed from Rose Bowl or New Years dinners - the staff handled it amazingly! Beyond kind employees and very insightful with their knowledge of the menu. We ordered two glasses of wine, the tuna tartare, the lamb sirloin steak, the bolognese and the pudding dessert. While the Tuna tartare wasn’t our favorite (probably due to our taste palette!) everything else incredible! It’s exactly what we needed after a long day at the game and was very tasty! The service was incredibly fast, as we finished our meal within 45 minutes - but didn’t feel rushed to just get out after we finished our meals. Will definitely be coming back when we are in town.

Alysia L Located inside the complex, past the 99 Ranch market in the back. We love this restaurant and often order delivery or eat in. I realized I didnt review it for years so now is a good time. They have great value for the size and quality of dishes. We usually order Kung Pao chicken, schezuan fish soup (spicy), boiled beef (spicy), and garlic eggplant. These are our favorites however the Dan Dan noodles were good and huge - a much better price than the new soup restaurant next door. The fried rice and xiao long bao are decent. The pork dishes and fried chicken are also good. Free tea if you eat inside. We havent had a dish we didnt like and overall enjoy every dish. Service is quick and fine. Most dishes are around $15-20 and do not include rice. The portions are very large. I recommend going with a group to try many things. It is spicy too- the icons on the menu are accurate! Some numbing for certain dishes.

Tiffany Santos Relaxed place. Excellent service. Great menu. We had 2 kids in our party and the waitress verbally told us the kids options as there was not a dedicated kids menu. There were 3 screens in the main dining room. Outdoor patio was closed but seemed like it would be lovely. All dishes were delicious! Portions were generous. Easily able to accommodate food allergies. Chocolate temptation dessert was a hit. Will come back for happy hour!

S. Raziq Mohideen Petra was recommended as one of the top halal spots in SLO, and Im glad I listened. I wasnt too sure what to expect from the outside, but after walking in I was pleasantly surprised by how clean, organized & stylish the interior is. The service was fast & friendly, and after a short wait my BBQ Cilantro Chicken pizza arrived. It was fresh & delicious. The Rosewater Pudding was a sweet way to end the meal. The meal was pretty affordable too. Some notes for Muslim diners. Petra has a rather extensive bar, in case youre wary of alcohol. There is no pork on the menu, but the beef pepperoni & Canadian turkey bacon are not halal. Every other meat is halal though. Overall, I think Petra is a must for anyone (Muslim or not) visiting SLO.
