Best Family Style Restaurants in Placentia / Yorba Linda

JP is the best waiter. Energetic funny and delightful. He even remembers all my guests names and orders from last time. There was a big loud party next to us but they left and the whole restaurant came back to lively mood. The owner came by the table and made us feel welcome. The dinner was the best meal we had this year.

Limited, but very innovative menu. Reservation honored on time. Excellent chips & salsa that was quite different than other Mmexican restaurants. All 5 entreesarrived together & were plated beautifully. The Yucatan style seabass was cooked to perfection, The meat on both the pork shank & the lamb biriani were fall off the bone tender & juicy. The chicken enchilada plate included 3 large enchiladas. Weallsplit the seasonal snowman dessert which was also gorgeous h cute. Service was well paced & very pleasant.

Service was top notch. Our waiter Vincenzo was very attentive and knowledgeable about the entire menu. Our cocktails arrived quickly and were made to perfection. Entrees were sensational with the favorite being the veal in a mushroom sauce. After enjoying our meals we shared a magnificent and perfect in every way grand marnier soufflé. A gift from the gods. So perfect. Was great to see Bruno as he made the rounds visiting each guest. On the whole a delightful , memorable dining experience.

Excellent food, service, and experience! Enjoyed the most amazing ribeye steak, cooked to perfection. We had the opportunity to share several menu items, and all were amazing! Our servers and bartender were knowledgeable about the menu items and made the perfect dinner and drink recommendations for all of us. The chef also made it a point to meet with us and ask us about experience. I highly recommend Griffin’s for casual dining and any special occasion!

The service was great but the food was poor. The flavor has changed, our fettuccine had no flavor & dry the Mac & cheese was okay.
