All their prices have gone shooting up during the recession. Opens late for breakfast and often too crowded at lunch--heaven knows why. Couple of interesting items-- but all breakfast are heavily sweetened more

I found this restaurant through Trip Advisor and all I must say just how pleased I did. It is set in the patio of a very old house in the Rios Road area of San Juan Capistrano. It is adjacent to a small store and the railroad. The brunch that we had was excellent and the ladies erving could not... more

I laugh at the people who complain about the price and their kids not being able to have plain food. This is a gourmet restaurant. If you live in OC and have any palate at all you know that there are very few establishments that have gourmet cuisine. Finally a nice restaurant that isn’t a steak house in OC, amazing,... more

An anomaly in this largely soccer-mom infested town.. limited menu but startlingly creative dishes in a unique and lovely atmosphere. I have never had a bad experience at Ramos House over 12 -15 visits. Some people I've talked to about it feel that it is one of the best restaurants in Orange County, and I am much more inclined to... more

We paid $377 for 6 adults and 1 child to eat french toast.... Need I say more? Seriously though, after we had signed our bill and left, the staff decided to add on a $63 tip (on top of the mandatory gratuity that had already been added to our bill) - I still have not received a call back from... more

We went for Sunday Brunch and found the prices higher than what the website stated, and the "taster" menu selection offered on their website for brunch was not available (surprise!) Our waitress told us the menu changes daily, which in our mind would make managing a website impossible. We don't mind paying for quality, but false advertising is bad JuJu.... more

food marginal, brunch 35.00 per person including small children. menu said choice of coffee, orange juice or champagne and when we asked for refills of champagne they charged 6 dollars each. When we notified management that it did not indicate only one glass of champagne he proceeded to tell us that he will try and be clearer on the menu... more

Lodged in a historic adobe building, culinary genius chef-owner John Humphreys turns out contemporary American Cuisine with Southern flair. The tranquil patio seating flanking the herb garden provides just the right ambience to serve the OC's best Soju Bloody Mary. On weekends, the $30 brunch menu completes the experience and includes a beverage, starter, and entree. Favorites include Cinnamon Apple... more
