Do not let the strange location of this restaurant fool you( it is on the top level of the South Coast Plaza). It is my fav place to eat in the Irvine/Costa Mesa area
It features 2 outside eating areas.(this one is actually in the mall)
This one is inside the restaurant walls but actually the roof opens up.( confusing at first but after a few drinks it will all make sense)
The bar is small but very well stocked and the bartenders have always been excellent on each visit .
The main seating area is right next to an open kitchen.
The food is excellent. I have never had anything that I did not really enjoy.
The bone marrow an tataki were both excellent.
Coq au vin simply magnifique.
John Dorey is a fish and was excellent.( I thought he played for Huddersfield )
For dessert it is definately off to Hungary.
We actually started and finished in Hungary .
