点评:We finally managed to snag a reservation at this location, and I have to say the view is absolutely stunning. I really love the concept, but I wasn’t too thrilled about the lack of a sit-down bar. Instead, they have a coffee and wine section where you can order wine or an Aperol Spritz. Guests are encouraged to walk around and explore the beautiful display of high-end RH furniture, which is honestly a fun experience on its own.
They didn’t seem to mind when we made ourselves comfortable on one of the cozy display couches. Once we sat down, our server mentioned that I could order select cocktails from the menu but here’s the catch, you’re not allowed to walk around the RH floors with a hard cocktail. You can only enjoy them when seated for a meal. That was a bit of a letdown for me. Lol.
For starters, I ordered what everyone seems to rave about which was the mini lobster rolls from the Caviar Specialties section. I really don’t get the hype. They were bland, and the caviar didn’t elevate the flavor at all. On the bright side, the crispy artichoke was delicious, lightly fried, flaky, and full of flavor.
I also tried the grilled shrimp and warm vegetable salad. While it had good potential, it was way too salty. My throat was suffering all night from the sodium overload.
Unfortunately, this feels like a one-and-done food experience for me. There are so many incredible restaurants in OC that check all the boxes, and this just wasn’t it. I can see this place being a nice spot for brunch or maybe drinks with a view, but not much more.
翻译:我们好不容易才订到这家店,不得不说,这里的景色真是美极了。我很喜欢这个概念,但就是没有可以坐下来喝的酒吧,这点让我有点失望。取而代之的是咖啡和葡萄酒区,你可以点葡萄酒或阿佩罗开胃酒。店里鼓励顾客四处走走,欣赏RH高端家具的精美陈列,说实话,这本身就是一种乐趣。
我们舒服地坐在舒适的展示沙发上,他们似乎并不介意。坐下后,服务员说我可以从菜单上点鸡尾酒,但有个小问题:你不能端着烈性鸡尾酒在RH的楼层里走来走去。你只能在用餐时享用。这让我有点失望。哈哈。
首先,我点了一份似乎大家都赞不绝口的菜——鱼子酱特色区的迷你龙虾卷。我实在不明白为什么这么火爆。它们味道平淡,鱼子酱也丝毫没有提升味道。好的一面是,酥脆的朝鲜蓟味道鲜美,略微煎炸,酥脆可口,风味十足。
我还尝试了烤虾和热蔬菜沙拉。虽然很有潜力,但实在太咸了。我的喉咙因为钠摄入过量而疼痛了一整晚。
可惜的是,对我来说,这顿美食体验就像一次一次性的体验。橙县有很多很棒的餐厅,都能满足所有条件,而这家却不是。我觉得这里可以作为享用早午餐或欣赏美景的小酌一杯的好去处,但仅此而已。
