Restaurants near Brea Gateway Shopping Center

I recently visited this fantastic new restaurant in Brea and had an unforgettable experience. From the moment. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a modern feel. The service was top-notch throughout the evening. The food was exceptional. I started with the brussels sprouts—definitely a standout. The potatoes were similarly impressive, crispy yet soft, with just the right amount of seasoning. As for the steak, it was cooked to absolute perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Their drink menu didn’t disappoint either. The cocktails were expertly crafted, with a range of options to complement the meal. Overall, it was an incredible dining experience. I highly recommend this spot if you're in the area—delicious food, fantastic drinks, and impeccable service. Definitely a place I’ll be returning to over and over!

We visited Bruno's restaurant on 2/14/25, prior to attending a show at the Civic Center. Our reservation was made weeks in advance and Bruno's and a show was our Valentine's Day plan for the evening. There was a line out the door upon our arrival. We were greeted by Stephanie at the hostess station, were served drinks at the bar by Aaron and served dinner by varying staff, and attended to by Sophia. Sophia provided us with top notch service from start to finish. Ron and I dined on Fritto Misto, Lobster Ravioli, Short ribs with homemade pasta, Tiramisu and bread with balsamic vinegar, peppers and olive oil. That was the best bread we have had and all of the food and wine we consumed was absolutely delicious. Thank you for making our evening at Bruno's a wonderful one. Dawne and Ron

Always the best quality food and great an atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

We have never been to this location. The Tustin location is great, so we decided to try the Brea location since it is closer to home. It’s a beautiful interior and a lot bigger than the Tustin one. Even seating outside which I would like to try during the summer. The food was delicious and possibly better. The servers were fantastic and very helpful. They played a prefect balance of always around but not overly interrupting. The noise was minimal when we first arrived but got louder as more customers were seated. Seems the noise level would be reasonable for a JBBQ place normally but loud if filled to the brim with people. We look forward to going back to this location.
