    Had an amazing brunch at SoCal! The 40 Yolk was absolutely phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. If you’re sharing, they’ll even split plates for you, which is a great touch. The vibe was on point with incredible music that added to the experience. Highly recommend!

    We always enjoy dining at Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, and this was our second time visiting this spot. This time, we brought our three boys for brunch, and it was a great experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was fantastic from start to finish. The brunch menu had plenty of options, and everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. Our boys found plenty to love, which is always a win! Whether we’re out for a date night or bringing the whole family, we always have a great experience. The food, service, and atmosphere keep us coming back, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit!

    Our server Ethan was wonderful. He made suggestions and everything that we ordered was wonderful. I loved the Edamame Dumplings! It was quite loud but every table was full.

    It took quite a while for us to be greeted. There were only 4 other tables there. By the time we were greeted, we already knew what we wanted as far as drinks and appetizers went. When greeted, the server didn't even ask us for drinks or appetizers. She, for the most part, said hi and welcome and then walked away. Yet again, it took quite a while for her to come back and ask us for drink orders. Upon her return with the drinks, she finally asked us for an appetizer order. The service was lacking, but the food and drinks were phenomenal. Happy hour on a Sunday?!! Couldn't be beat!
