“Breakfast here is always a treat! The food is delicious, fresh & served hot — perfect way to start the weekend. My veggie omelet with hash browns & a side of sausage links was cooked perfectly, full of flavor.

The park setting adds a relaxing touch, with beautiful views & a calm, friendly atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable.

A big thank-you to Suzanna, who’s always so friendly, efficient & welcoming — she remembers our group & takes great care of us every time. And Ramon, the busser, is always on top of everything — quick to clear & keep the table spotless with a smile.

It’s no wonder this has become one of our go-to breakfast spot. Excellent food, great service with a wonderful setting — highly recommended!”

“Cute lil spot! This was my second time attending here for a movie.

They always have lots of cool contemporary independent films and lots of awesome throwback movies.”

“First time here. Admission price was reasonable ($5/kid and $15/adult. Every one in the family loves it! The kids love the interactive section where they got to sit in a cock pit of a WWII plane and the jeeps. All the planes and vehicles were very well maintained amd the place is clean and modern. There is also a little theatre that shows a short documentary on the p-51 mustang. My two year old cried when it was time to leave.”

“An absolute gem for car lovers!
I recently visited the Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin, and my mind was completely blown. The collection is phenomenal, featuring everything from multimillion-dollar rare Ferraris and sleek Lamborghinis to iconic movie cars like the Batmobile and KITT from Knight Rider. It feels like exploring someone’s ultimate private garage. The facility is incredibly clean, and the staff is super welcoming and full of great stories. Best of all, it operates as a non-profit benefiting at-risk youth. An awesome experience for a fantastic cause. I highly recommend stopping by!”

“Fun place to practice! 1st time here and really loved it. Distance is marked with signs on the water, shaded area plus nice benches to sit on while waiting your turn.”

“We have been here twice for birthday celebrations. What a great venue! Lots of room, excellent service staff, nice dance floor, audiovisual setup good…..all in all a very nice place to hold events.”

“Thank you so much Cheryl and Melissa! Our wedding day was truly a perfect day that us and our guests will never forget. Planning a wedding in under a year is no small task and the Chapel of Orange went above and beyond with their amazing vendors and made the whole process not only easy, but enjoyable. Everyone really brought our vision to life and I feel like there were pieces of us everywhere. The music was all artists and songs that we would listen to throughout our 7 year relationship and it gave an amazing feel for the day. The vendors were amazing at what they did and had phenomenal customer service. Everything ran so smooth Edgar and I really felt like we were in a fairytale. From the teaser photos we’ve received and our guests photos and videos you can see just how in love and happy we are. There is not a thing I would’ve changed from our big day and the town of Orange will always be a special place. I could never praise the Chapel of Orange enough and will always recommend this venue in the future!
- Emily and Edgar Lopez”

“Lovely experience the restaurant Ada in the museum was excellent and the staff couldn’t have been nicer, it’s a good place to go and now with the quilt exhibit it should be fun!”

“Today, on June 8, 2026. Great place, great customers, kind of okay the nachos, great chairs to seat that is heated. Scary Movie 6 was kind of lame. It wasn't even that funny expect Mr ghost face, Shawty (Marlon Waynes) and Doofy. And Star Wars Mandoralian and Goru was good!”

“We saw the Wiz! It was awesome. Almost like being on Broadway.....almost. The cast can really belt out those songs. I sat there and imagined the original cast. It really was a good show.”

“Wow - what a beautiful spot. My nephew got married here and it was absolutely perfect. If you are looking for an upscale venue - check this place out. Honestly does not look like much from the outside - but inside is beautiful. Close to hotels as well. Great experience.”

“American Legion Newport Beach is a wonderful place for veterans to connect. Our friends who are members invited us for dinner, so we got to check it out. They have a nice banquet hall that is also open to the public for weddings, receptions, and other events. The outside patio is a serene and beautiful dining area overlooking the water. Everyone was very friendly and nice.

*Calamari 5/5 - The calamari was nicely seasoned, crispy on the outside, and meaty on the inside. The portion was generous. The marinara sauce also had a nice spicy kick.

*Filet Mignon 3/5 - This came with filet mignon, mushrooms, fries, and coleslaw. The sauce was really sweet. I prefer my steak to be more on the savory side, so I didn’t really like this dish. The fries were good.

*Clam Chowder 4.5/5 - You know how in some clam chowders, the clams are so tiny you can’t tell if they’re really there or if they’re just potato pieces? Well, not these. The clams were meaty and succulent. The chowder was overall very good, just a bit salty for me.”

“My son and I have been coming to their classes and absolutely love them. Ms. Lisa (owner) and Ms. Stephanie are so wonderful and patient with the kids, you can tell they truly love what they do. It’s an amazing place for toddlers and preschoolers to learn, play, and be creative. Highly recommend the crafty storytime and kids theater classes. They also have character play dates with Ms. Rachel, Pokémon, superheroes, princesses, etc.. Every class is so thoughtfully put together! $60 per month for unlimited classes is an amazing deal. I believe your first class is free! Another perk is the free and ample parking. Close to Walmart and sprouts too :)”

“Arturo was very good to us when checking in! He made sure we had an excellent room and we had some drinks at the bar. So far, a great experience. Anna also checked on us today. They are very accommodating and the rooms are lovely. We appreciate the retro vibe and the LP Player.??”

“Went to boat show and it was nice. I thought they would have more boats but all good. Everyone there was eager to help no and not just the boat salesman. Took they're time explained everything and was very patient. Thank you.”

“A great time with warm, welcoming people and wonderful music. A truly special car community gathers here at Highway 39 every third Sunday of the month—except in November, when it’s held on the second Sunday.
In November, they host a fantastic fundraiser for children. Bring a unwrapped gift, you receive a ticket for In-N-Out Burger. It’s an amazing way to give back and enjoy a great community event.”

“This Hotel Indigo continues to be a very solid choice. Even on a fully sold-out weekend, the staff handled check-in, parking, and room readiness smoothly and calmly. The hotel keeps a quiet, boutique feel despite being Disney-adjacent, which we really appreciated.

The suite was comfortable and restful, and my partner slept exceptionally well. Breakfast at Chambers was well above expectations for this class of hotel—Karin was warm and attentive, and the front desk team coordinated everything seamlessly, keeping the experience human and unhurried under pressure.

Insider tip: the second-floor lounge overlooking Katella Ave and the lobby is a nice semi-private spot to relax or sit quietly away from the main flow. We’ve stayed here multiple times over the years, and it remains consistently reliable. We’ll happily return.”

“I can't say enough great things about Axis Research & Technologies! We had a last-minute change to our plans, and their team managed to completely pivot and accommodate everything within just 12 hours. That kind of flexibility and responsiveness is incredibly rare.

From start to finish, the staff was friendly, attentive, and kept communication clear and consistent throughout. We always knew exactly what was happening and felt genuinely taken care of.

If you're looking for a team that truly goes above and beyond, look no further. Without a doubt, I highly recommend!”

“I’m new to the elks and this is the third one. Explaining a RVer that’s been from coast to coast without the elks and now with, it’s something you can comprehend having friends and family wherever you go. This lodge 1952 we spent thanksgiving with and they are incredible ppl, accommodating us even when they were full. The best thanksgiving dinner sense my late grandparents back in Indiana. ??”

“The New Port Theater is a charming and elegant venue, perfect for intimate weddings and private events. The vintage architecture combined with modern amenities provides a seamless blend of style and functionality. We appreciate how the space supports creative catering options, from stations to plated dinners. Selena and their attentive staff make it easy for planners to deliver a flawless events.”

“I love seeing movies here so very much
But dear god please turn on the AC
It’s too damn hot when I’m watching these scary movies. Plz help lol”

“What a hidden historical gem in Orange County!

It's a large area and you feel like you have stepped 130 years back in history when you you walk through the iron gates into the museum area.

The Kellogg House is preserved exactly like it was over a hundred years ago when the family lived in it. This staircase in it is amazing, and the house layout is very interesting, including the third mezzanine layer.

The Maag house is being restored, and it needs a lot of work. So feel free to make a donation either online or in person ?.

There's also a living breathing blacksmith shop where they provide the ongoing training, and they also do presentations at events.

Behind the blacksmith shop there's a farm trail, where they have farm equipment spread along the trail, along with descriptions.

The Farm trail loops around and ends up by the gold mine.

All in all, it's a nice way to spend a few hours and to feel like you're back in the late 1800s or early 1900s, with all the plants and Greenery surrounding your.

As soon as you walk out into the parking lot, you are in the Santa Ana industrial area, with a school on the other side?”

“We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding experience than what we had at Fête the Venue. From the moment we first toured the venue to the very end of our wedding night, every detail was handled with such professionalism, care, and genuine kindness. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking — elegant, romantic, modern, and beautifully designed in every way. Our guests could not stop talking about how stunning everything looked.

What truly made the experience unforgettable was the incredible team behind it all. Every service they provided was seamless and exceeded our expectations. The communication, coordination, organization, and attention to detail made the entire planning process feel stress-free and exciting. They made us feel supported every step of the way and truly cared about making our vision come to life.

On our wedding day, everything flowed perfectly, allowing us to actually enjoy every moment without worrying about anything. The atmosphere they created was magical, intimate, and unforgettable. They turned one of the most important days of our lives into something even more beautiful than we ever imagined.

If you are looking for a venue that combines beauty, professionalism, and an amazing experience from start to finish, Fête the Venue is truly unmatched. We are beyond grateful and would recommend them to absolutely anyone looking to create the wedding of their dreams. Five stars is honestly not enough!”

“We’ve had the opportunity to attend many events over the last couple years with Argaux and enjoy their broad wine collections from many regions across the world. The owners Margaux and Arden put so much care into their business and you can feel it from their genuine hospitality to the hand selected wines they share with their guests. If you haven’t attended one of their classes, I highly would suggest as they are so informative and a great way to meet other like minded individuals who share a love for wine. All of their events are also so well put together, typically with private chef experiences in which their wines are paired with cuisine from the wines region to showcase the many tasting notes of the wine. Their event space is equally unique and a perfect location for any type of team bonding experience.”

“Everything was really great and clean. Quick and easy. My room did smell like someone had previously smoked a cigar in it. It didn’t bother me enough to complaint and switch rooms, but I wish it didn’t smell like that.”

“Ordered flowers online from Growers Direct recently and had a smooth experience.

While bouquets and bundles ordered online are often on the pricier side, the arrangements from GD seem well put together and thoughtfully made.

Customer service was responsive and easy to work with. When placing the order there’s an option to request a delivery window, which I happened to miss — but a quick call to the shop allowed me to coordinate timing and they were accommodating in helping align the drop-off.

Delivery was handled via courier through Uber, and I received tracking from pickup through drop-off, which made it easy to follow along. A pleasant surprise and very helpful.

Overall a reliable option if you need flowers delivered locally.

PSA: They offer same-day order/delivery if needed.”

“Go to this location for alot of family events. My cousin is a member so able to go. Accommodations for large events and cocktails are cheap. Parking is challenging.”

“I came here with a group of friends and we had an amazing time. The rooms are modern, spacious, and very clean. The sound quality is excellent, making the singing experience much more enjoyable. The staff provided outstanding service and made sure we had everything we needed. The prices are affordable, and the overall atmosphere feels classy and welcoming. I would definitely come back for future celebrations.”

“I was the planner at The Harper a few weeks ago and while this venue doesn’t require an outside planner— we all worked together perfectly! Their team was so attentive, kind, patient and easy to work with. We loved their team! Thank you guys for all your help. We had a blast for Madelyn & Chris wedding day :)”
