Best Casual Restaurants in Ladera Ranch

Eating outside was a little chilly and the food was a little heavy.

Everything was good but some large parties arrived shortly after us and it became very noisy and hard to converse.

As usual, excellent choice for a great meal! They never disappoint! We also love our server, Gerardo! So much attention & care paid to our party!

I went to Mayfield while visiting my parents for the holidays and celebrating a promotion at work. Expectations were high given that I looked at the menu online and thought I would happily eat everything on jt...and they were met and exceeded! One great indicator: 3 days later, my father, who is usually not impressed by restaurants, is still regularly raving to relatives and friends about the Moroccan carrots and grilled broccolini. The baba ganoush and date labneh were amazing to start with (along with the house-baked foccacia), and the beef tagine croquettes and mussels with n'duja also impressed. Dessert was a smooth, silky chocolate crémeux with orange/vanilla-infused olive oil to drizzle on top...just the chefs kiss. Service was friendly and helpful and enthusiastic, and the vibe was cool and relaxed. I look forward to returning on future visits!

Overall, the food was really delicious and our server was really nice. The variety of food options was also pretty impressive. We really enjoyed our experience.
