Restaurants near California State University

The food and the service were excellent. My first time going for thanksgiving and I am sure it won’t be my last.

We’ve been going to the Summit House for approximately 40 years. It never disappoints. However for the Thanksgiving dinners the price keeps increasing each year for the past 4 years and they took away the vegetable platter at the start of the meal. The meals are delicious and love the Christmas decorations. Of course the view is spectacular too!

I love fogo de chao. The lamb came out a little more gamey than i remembered but it was still good. the service was great but servers with the meat would miss us sometimes (i was at a large table where they visited one end of the table and my husband and i were at the other end). They would check in with the people at the front of the table but then either we would miss them as we didn't realize they approached our table, or we would be looking at them to acknowledge us and they would just walk away lol. It WAS Thanksgiving and we still ate to our hearts content. My picky kids were happy as well. It seemed they were a little slow in bringing out the pao de queijo but again, it was a holiday and i'm sure they were doing everything they could to bring it over to us. We eventually received it for the whole table and brought more when we asked. Overall the experience was great. Despite how crowded it was, the noise level was fine. The sweet potato casserole was YUM but wasn't a fan of the stuffing.. it tasted too much like grainy box mix that wasn't mixed in well enough. IDK what the soup was but it was yuuuummmm.

Our first time at this restaurant. Felt very welcomed the moment we walked in. Our server Bryan gave us an amazing experience by showing us their menu and giving us recommendations and telling us his favorite dishes. Also being very interactive with us which we enjoyed. Food was amazing we started off with the Country Fried Texas Quill then BLT Wedge Salad for our main course the 58 oz Cowboy Ribeye with a side of Lobster Mac and Cheese. We will definitely be coming back.

We had Sloppy Khan appetizer. Wow such wonderful spices! Malai (cheese) naan was freshly baked and so scrumptious. Chicken Karahi for our main dish was amazing, full of flavor and just the right heat. Chocolate Samosa dessert was decadently yummy! We live in OC, but there are so many interesting things on the menu we want to try, we're coming back!
