    Tonight we celebrated the 60th Anniversary of our 1st date, and we wouldn’t have had dinner anywhere else. Waitresses Allie and Kim are terrific and our friends. Five stars.

    Had their famous maple bacon doughnut, it’s delicious. I ordered the maple pecan crusted salmon and it’s tender. I love their truffle fries. The ambiance is great for family and date night. Our server is attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu.

    The food and service are amazing! The best part of our visits to Roku at Fashion Island is the welcome we receive from Juney the Manager. He makes one feel that he’s welcoming guests to his home with a warm greeting and a friendly chat. He’s always appreciative that we have come to Roku and makes one feel as if we’re part of his family. An amazing guy! His staff speak so highly of him and it’s clear that he’s created a great workplace environment to work. I recommend that when you’re in Newport Beach you visit Roku and see and taste for yourself!
