Best Shellfish Restaurants in Ladera Ranch

The food is overpriced, and a minimum 18% tip is suggested. The food itself was great, but I would have preferred paying at least 30% less for it. The waiters were fine, but the expectation of a very high tip dampened my enthusiasm for their efforts. I work as a teacher and am constantly putting myself out for others. I don't expect - and would not accept - a tip for that. Why should I be expected to tip others who are simply doing their jobs - and very basic and simple jobs at that? In effect, I am putting money in the pockets of the business owners because they undoubtedly pay their employees less, telling them, "You'll make up the difference from tips." This means they earn money from me twice - once from their overpriced food, and again from the compensation I am paying to THEIR employees. This type of greed exemplifies most business practices in America and makes me wish there was a way to change it.

First timers at this restaurant, it did not disappoint. Food was great, ambiance perfect and service was good.

I love this place. The food is always good, and the staff is always friendly. The steak and lobster for $28 you cant go wrong.

Good food, went for the biscuits. Options limited as they didn’t have many items from the menu in stock.

Good food. Great service.
