Best Wine Bars in Santa Ana

Dinner was absolutely delicious! The salmon and sea bass were cooked perfectly! Chef Yvon is a master, and Peter, our server, was a lot of fun! Overall, a great experience; I highly recommend The Winery Restaurant!

The host was really attentive and always helpful. We had an amazing night for my girlfriend's birthday. We ordered a rib eye and fillet mignon as the main courses, and they were really delicious and cooked perfectly. I don't recommend the popular cocktail, Stoli Doli, as there isn't much pineapple flavor in the drink, but maybe it is because we like more on the fruity flavor side when drinking a cocktail. High-quality food and top service as we expected when coming to the restaurant. We will come back.

This restaurant is consistently good. We can depend on a delicious meal here. We went early to dine and the service was excellent. We were met by a woman who greeted us with joy, which is always a good start. The menu is easy to follow, and it seems we gravitate to our favorites. Him - Fish & Chips. O Sea makes the most delicious French Fries. I had the Black Cod with Sweet Potatoes, but not ordinary SP, these were bathed in a delicious sauce with layers of flavor. Perfect for swathing a few French Fries through. Divine!

S52 is our go to place for some pre-show dinner. The Crab cake, Ponzu broth - poached Butterfish, and grilled Sea Scallops were really delicious 😋, and the wine pairing of the Tasmanian Jansz Brut Rose with the Crab Cake, as well as the La Crema Chard from Monterey with the Scallops and the Paul Hobbs Chard-Crossbarn from the Sonoma Coast with the Butterfist were excellent! A delicious meal and highly recommend. Eric our server was awesome taking us through the expansive seasonal menu, and attentive service. Cheers to the folks at S52 for another great experience. We really miss the lounge piano player S52 used to have in the lounge. See you again next month! :0)

This is real, authentic Italian pasta, the best you’ll find in the south coast area. It seriously tastes just like pasta you’d find at a nice place in Italy. The ragu is my favorite. In my opinion the prices for pasta are a little high for such a casual place, but I keep coming back, so clearly it’s worth it. The service is always very good as well. The patio is nice with a fire pit and good heaters. It’s in the camp which provides nice ambiance, but parking is a nightmare. It took us 15 minutes to valet.
