   Great food and service. The chef always comes by to check on everyone. There is often a live guitarist playing music. This place is a true gem.

   This is one restaurant that doesn't cram extra tables into small spaces to handle additional customers on Valentine's Day, sacrificing quality and a good experience. We had a wonderful dinner. Everything here is always really good, but we're really partial to the steaks. We both ordered the 5 oz filet mignons and shared the potted twice-baked potatoes and the grilled asparagus. We sent a message back to the kitchen that this was the first time we had EVER had perfectly prepared asparagus! The desserts were great, the service was terrific, and the whole experience was immensely satisfying.

   The dining experience was marred by excessive pricing and subpar quality. The falafel bombs, initially presented as appetizers, were of poor taste, resembling a paste-like consistency. The burgers were diminutive and lacked moisture, while the mustard sauce was excessively potent. The soda was diluted, and our attentive waitress failed to replenish our beverages. The overall experience was unsatisfactory, leading us to conclude that this establishment is not worth our patronage.

   my husband has celiac and we’ve never been to a restaurant where everything is gluten free. The peace of mind alone is worth all the money in the world, but the food is genuinely delicious. It’s not just “good for gluten free food”, it’s some of the best food I’ve had genuinely. Plus the chef came out towards the end of our meal and checked on all the tables, it was so sweet!

   Definitely recommend this venue. Good and creative menu. Wine list was well assembled. Please save room for dessert-outstanding ice creams and cobbler!

   Oceans & Earth offers a very welcoming and naturalistic ambience to the customers. The musicians play well while providing a relaxing vibe to the restaurant's oceanic theme. Though I prefer my steak a bit more burnt on the outside, and not with a soup amount of butter, they offer many sauces that can add flavor to their delicious steak. For an intimate and relaxing evening in Yorba Linda, Oceans & Earth is one that I'd definitely recommend.

   Food was OK but way overpriced for the portions. Sea Bass had a fishy taste and smell. Presentation was nice but value wasn’t there.

    First time at Oceans & Earth and I was excited to try this place, unfortunately it was just ok. I was disappointed on a couple of things. Staff was not friendly or bubbly, just kind of a whatever attitude. We did make a reservation, had to sit outside (which we understand it was busy) They did have many open tables outside, but the hostess sat us at the awkward table with 2 lg pots on either side with dried trees laying sideways. Being that there were many open tables in the patio I was confused as to why she sat at the awkward table that clearly no one wants to sit at. This is already setting the tone for me. We couldn’t sit center of the table and had to sit on the edge which was uncomfortable. Then the 2 heaters closes to us kept going out, 1 completely stop working. I’m going to guess and say they knew both of those heaters were having issues because both of the doors on the heaters were off, and 1 of the doors was leaning on my chair. I still tried to go with it, but now I’m annoyed, I didn’t say anything trying to enjoy our date night. So let’s move on and order some drinks and try to enjoy. Once we did ordered drinks they took a long time to come out, another disappointment!! When the food arrived it was hot, which is always a good thing. Steak was really good, salmon was just ok. Honestly I’m super bummed, I was really excited to try this place, but from the moment we walked in we didn’t feel that friendly vibe! I don’t think we’ll be going back. Maybe I just had big expectations since this place was highly recommended. I do hope everyone else has a better experience than ours.
