Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Los Alamitos / Cypress

We were excited to come here as soon as we heard the amazing couple who run Michelin-starred Heritage in Long Beach opened a more casual but still unique bistro featuring Heritage chef de cuisine Patrick Clayton, and we weren't disappointed. The mid Century hotel premises are visually fun, feels like you're on a movie set, the cocktail menu was unique top to bottom and nothing on the menu disappointed in the slightest. A chopped endive salad with tastes of dates and bit of Humboldt Fog balanced wonderfully with mussels from SaltSpring Island in BC with its broth just inviting dipping every bit of bread from a local farmers market star. We shared the roasted chicken with an au jus sauce so good we tried (unsuccessfully) to coax the secrets from the staff, with the rib cap beef, an unusual and wonderful cut, and the pork which was perfect served with a salsa-like relish. Relaxed, with excellent attentive service (kudoes to Christopher). We'll go back soon (if we can still get reservations! took us months to get into Heritage last year!!)

Great reservation. Minimal wait team. Seated almost immediately. Convenient.

Incredible food, excellent service, and stunning decor. Not sure you can ask for anything more from a dining experience. 10/10 highest recommendation for this restaurant.

Absolutely loved this restaurant and will return soon! The food and wine pairing were perfect. I ended the meal and wanted to start the whole thing again. Portions and pours were perfect to end feeling full but not overly so. Cannot recommend any stronger.

If you're in Anaheim, I strongly suggest you add Poppy & Seed to your list of places to dine. What's Great - 1/ The craft cocktails were excellent, 2/ The Duck Confit Tacos and Steak Tartar starters were awesome, as was the Garganelli pasta which we shared as a starter. 3/ The Scallops and the Pork Chop were the Main Course standouts, and 4/ The Bread Pudding desert was a big hit. What could have been better - 1/ The Spinach Pappardelle was a bit over-seasoned, and 2/ the wine list is a bit limiting. That being said I would highly recommend dining here, especially if you are a foodie, as the menu has a lot of interesting dishes that you won't find elsewhere.
