• Southeast Asian • Huntington Beach
Booked 30 times today
Behind an unmarked door adjacent to the wine room, guests are transported to District 1 (China Town) in Saigon via Blackhouse’s 28-seat restaurant-within-a-restaurant, LSXO. A spinoff of the Little Sister brand (Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach & Downtown Los Angeles), LSXO is love letter to the culture, heritage, and lineage of Vietnam (Vuong’s relatives hail from the region). While Little Sister is known for its French Vietnamese menu, LSXO follows the same Southeast Asian inspiration with a more refined feel. “There is no signage for LSXO—you can spot the entrance of it tucked into a section inside Bluegold, but you’ll have to know it’s there. While Bluegold is light, bright, and airy, LSXO is its darker, edgier little sister,” says Vuong. “Both restaurants operate out of the same kitchen, though the menus are completely different. LSXO offers straight-up, honest, home-style Vietnamese cuisine—the type of food I grew up eating with my grandparents in the San Gabriel Valley

Westwood Coast is an elevated take on the country-music themed steakhouse, bar and lounge. We celebrate our love for country music and lifestyle by serving amazing food, elevated cocktails and fun country entertainment. We're a whiskey & bourbon lovers bar, featuring 100+ bottles on the back bar and select cask-picks available by the bottle, to our Smoked Spirit Society members. Westwood Coast isn’t stuffy. While sharing a name with our San Francisco based sister restaurant, we’ve leveled up the food and the decor while bringing the same focus on cocktails, music, and entertainment to a beautiful space on the sunlit corner of Newport and Harbor. A stone's throw from the beaches in Orange County, Westwood Coast is where Orange County goes to get its country on.

    Xmas Eve dinner was wonderful at Habana. We were greeted at the door with complimentary sparkling rose wine while we were checked in for our reservation. Our reservation was for comfortable outdoor seating with a festive ambiance for the season. The server was attentive and courteous offering recommendations and adjustments for some of our dietary restrictions. The seasonal cocktails were delicious and our food was too. Overall a great experience and we are planning to go back soon!

    This was our first time eating here. I had been at this location when it used to be Scott's Seafood. It has been renovated and the food is much better to my liking. It's all about the seafood, although they have beef too. We ordered 3 entrees... Sable fish in a spicy broth with thin soba noodles. The fish was a large portion and thick too. Scampi with parpadelle pasta. Wow, the shrimp were large and the pasta is one on my favorites with the sauces soaking all the flavors into the pasta. Cioppino was my favorite. It had prawns, salmon, white fish, calamari, clams, mussels all in the most favorable warm broth. We brought a bottle of champagne with us and they don't charge a corkage fee. Wow, can't wait to return again. The service was spot on. Our server was attentive and personable. Yum!

    What a WONDERFUL way to celebrate Christmas Eve! As America returns to its' roots of valuing friends/family, it was SO nice to enjoy a GREAT Christmas Eve dinner at Black Angus/FV! EVERYONE there - including GM Mark, Mgr Samantha and Servers Mia and Kim - made our evening, memorable. Their team of chefs, cooks, food runners and everyone on the team made the food outstanding - including the Lobster tails and their new appetizer of Blue Cheese Mac & Cheese! Thank you, Black Angus! Merry Christmas and looking forward to seeing you guys in 2025!

    The food was amazing and the ambiance was perfect for a date night, but what really stood out was the attentiveness and professionalism that came with our server Shannon. She is what really made a difference in our experience at this restaurant. She asked if this was our first time and then proceeded to take her time going through the whole menu (drinks menu as well) and knew it like she made it herself. I never felt rushed and always looked after. I don’t do reviews usually but after coming across her I felt like this was the least I could do. She deserves her credit for sure.
