   Reservations were 30+ minutes behind. Very noisy environment. Tables pushed so closely together it’s literally difficult to walk through the restaurant. Servers were very inattentive, even after mentioning it to a manager, and we were never offered the full range of items included in our order. Had to ask for desert service and the check. Overall, unfortunately it was a disappointing experience.

   I’ve been to the Irvine location a few times prior to 2020 and it was a phenomenal experience. I was super excited to dine at the Brea location. However, it did not compare to my past experience. The place was packed like a cafeteria. The buffet was subpar, the presentation of the food was subpar. They gave us a plate of mashed potatoes that looked like it came from someone else’s table after they left. We were a table of 5 and they seated us at a table for 4. We were packed. The best part of the experience was our waiter. He was very attentive. For the cost it was not worth it.

   Great new restaurant in Brea. Food is amazing. Only thing was the tables were very close together which limited privacy. The Irvine location is more spacious.

   Maybe because expectation was too high but the service and meats were so so. All the meats had this propane or some type of fuel scent probably from same cooking method. Salad bar was ok. Water was slow to come. Variety of meats were limited. Chicken breast was so dense and dry I didn't eat it after one bite. Not sure it was worth the price.

    Poor service and food quality. This was my fourth visit. We noticed a big decline in food quality. All beef meats were overcooked. We won't be coming back.
