Nicole Pittman Our whole family loves Mangia Mangia! The food is so delicious, from the Ravioli Di Zucca to the Semifredo. Everything Ive ever tried has been perfect! My favorite thing here is the ambiance. Everyone is smiling and having a great time. The staff is so friendly and go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time. I truly cannot recommend them enough!

Lou Rice Excellent experience overall, one of the best values in town. On the corner of Warner and Goldenwest. We had the ceviche, mixed seafood, grill, and ribeye steak and everything was cooked to perfection, seasoned with Peruvian flair. Spectacularly delicious and very decently priced! Highly recommended!

Vicky If your in Huntington beach you gotta try this place! The food is all homemade authentic Egyptian food. Its so delicious. The owner was so sweet! They have indoor and outdoor seating and its close by the beach. I ordered their chicken and lamb dish it came with a salad and rice and pita bread. The portions are worth the price I was full and had leftovers for another meal. I highly recommend this restaurant!

T Y Let me just start by saying our server/mixologist Blake was nothing Short of amazing! He made us feel like family and anticipated our needs. As a seasoned bartender and culinary student the drinks are absolutely on point! My kids loved Blakes mocktails. They also loved the crab macaroni n cheese... I am loved the bmclam chowder and the desserts were outstanding/ to die for. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend if you havent already checked this restaurant out.

Hope Caton The food was excellent! Looked & tasted very fresh. Very attentive servers that were always close by to get whatever was needed. Sitting outside on the patio was a great choice because the views of the ocean were spectacular! Highly recommend and will definitely go back. The Gingerbread House in the lobby & Christmas decorations, like their tree, really created a very festive vibe.

Stacey Niermann In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in HB. Great ambiance, great food with an often changing menu. Sitting at the chef’s counter is fantastic, but sitting at the bar also great. I always have conversations at the bar with other HB locals. Really top restaurant even though it’s in a strip mall. Great for lunch or dinner. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes so everyone should be able to find a dish they like. Can’t go wrong.

Beth Culver Best seafood in Orange County... especially the Salmon! Lovely relaxed atmosphere. The young men servers...were equally excellent! The location is perfect...easy to get to and parking is easy as well! Our afternoon lunch couldnt have been more perfect! Thank you Calico Fish House!!!

afronia michail The foood is soooo good!! I’m Egyptian so I have had a lot of Mediterranean food. This place is definitely a top favorite. My family and I already dived in the food and ate majority of itbefore I could take a picture so the portions are more than pictured. Fresh bread, fresh food, and, flavorful. Highly highly recommended

Jenny B Absolutely delicious and so much food. We had the short rib grilled cheese, mahi mahi tacos, and the chicken plus the kids Mac and cheese. We started with the chili con queso and house chips. The chips were fantastic but the cheese was just ok. All the entrees were so good! With the exception of the tacos all portions were enough for two. We sat on the balcony in the late evening which was cold. They do have heaters but not many. I’d also say they are not very good ones. They do also have blankets which helped. Base the windows are essentially doors the inside is cool as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They do have a kids menu which was pretty standard. They also provided canyons which was very helpful.

Elise Dehart Fun and casual atmosphere! They had the live game on when we walked in. Servers are so friendly, beer is cold, food is good. Its just the thing you want when you visit a so cal beach ⛱️

Jennifer Ruff I live in the neighborhood and have driven past this place countless times but finally stopped by yesterday. Im sure glad I did!! They offer so many options and everything was fresh, light and delicious. Will definitely be coming back!

Stephen Imbriani After 25 years of experiencing Dukes in Oahu, going to Dukes in California always felt like a bit of an afterthought but this trip changed my mind. Brian is a rockstar behind the bar. He knows everyone and if he doesnt necessarily know you, he makes your stay that much more pleasant. My wife loved her MaiTai, I enjoyed multiple Four Sons brewing Coconutorious amber ale, and the split rib and huli huli chicken completed our huge experience. Im glad my wife suggested it and it made this trip (another funeral) that much more reasonable. Keep it up Dukes.

Harv Don’t feel like burgers and fries, but want something else besides Mexican? Then come to Nardi! Fresh made pasta and pizza in a super chic decor in the middle of Pacific City. There are white and red sauce pizzas, both of which are fired up in their special pizza oven. Even the kids pizza is made from the fresh dough and has crispy pockets in the crust (no complaints from a picky 3 year old that joined us on this outing), The pasta is perfectly cooked and sauced just right without the excess sauce that most places put. The fettuccine with wild boar is the top seller and portion sizes are adequate even for big eaters. The lobster ravioli had a nice rice sauce with 6 big raviolis in the plate. For seafood lovers, there’s branzino and for the adventurous there’s seafood linguini with squid black ink. The sides are tasty, but a touch on the expensive side with a Cesar salad at $16, but the meatballs, broccolini and prosciutto are all tasty. Service was impeccable with the waitress passing numerous times to check in the table.

Darryl Gordon It was game day today, and the crowd at Sandbar Cocina y Tequila was taking in all the games with their big screen tvs. We got there as they were serving their Brunch/Lunch menu which had a great selection of items. Service was outstanding and food was really delicious.

Rob S Best OC Thai place! Name one better. Orange chicken-mmm good! Light batter, strong sticky orange tate. Thai Basil grilled pork mmm Great! Just spicy enough. Pad Thai- consistantly good Street Thai really good.
