Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Tustin

Great date night location food and service are just right

Great place if you like prime rib with all the trimmings. The theming is cute, with the servers in old English attire. The bartenders know how to mix up vintage and classic cocktails to add to your experience. You won’t leave hungry.

Excellent ocean-view dining. Delicious food, high prices, and valet parking add$$. It is nearly impossible to beat the view and food quality!

Overall, I had a wonderful time at Jardin Autentica Cocina. My friends and I went for brunch and the food for this time frame was delicious, especially the chorizo con papas empanadas and the tres leches toast. The choriza con papas melted beautifully once you had a taste and the tres leches was a perfect balance of sweet and savory. My friends and I agreed to come back for more of their brunch options. I will say though that for our experience, the lighting of the restaurant was dim/low so if you are hoping to take pictures might want to turn on your flash. Also, this restaurant has valet parking and tips are encouraged.

I had been to the original location years ago. It is consistent with great staff. I specifically want to give a shout out to Nick who is patient and very informative. When we asked about the different offerings we decided on their Ahi tuna wraps and for dessert their fried apple pie.
