A pleasure as always. I did leave my gift card (with the balance there, unless I forgot to get it back). But I am not worried at all, they all know us there. And will honor it (besides it's only $14 haha). It is a great night for a date and to meet friends. Never had a bad night yet. And the food is outstanding .

You can’t beat OCRW deals!! I love their salmon! Absolutely delicious! I was able to get some zucchini instead of potatoes which was nice. The glaze is just delicious! The appetizer Aguachile G was ok. Light and refreshing but there was hardly any tuna in there. It was basically a cucumber salad. The flan was creamy and tasty! A little sweet but great way to finish the meal. Our server was good. Great food!!

Food, atmosphere, and the special prices were all great. The only thing...They didn't have the Lakers Game showing. Instead they showed another team. The nerve, right?

Menu offers a good selection of appetizers and entrees. Fun vibe but a bit noisy. Service from Sarah was superb! Affordable and plenty of parking.
