A few positive phrases come to mind when people bring up the Orange Hill: spectacular Sunday brunch, great view overlooking the entire north county, memorable wedding receptions. Unfortunately, there are some phrases that aren't so favorable: forced valet parking, extremely long waits (even with reservations) and very high prices. But don't let these facts deter you from one of the best dining experiences in Orange County. As far as the menu is concerned, Orange Hill keeps it very basic: thick steaks, fresh fish, seasoned poultry and exceptional lamb. You can't go wrong with anything you order here, the master chefs see to that. The real reason OC restaurant aficionados keep returning is the atmosphere: wedding parties, couples celebrating anniversaries and those newly in love swear by this place. There are also several special events throughout the year, including a big Thanksgiving celebration and festive New Year's Eve shindig. Also be sure to make time to lounge by one of the outdoor fire pits overlooking the city, while sharing a good bottle of wine. -- Michael Alarcon

If you want the best....
By NewportDiner2008 on 07/11/2008
Then you must travel to that hilltop beauty called Orange Hill! Having dinner there with freinds the other night was nothing shy of perfect! We had an amazing time, from the food to the wines and the service, I can not say that I have been more content and impressed at the same time. If you know me you would know this simply by the fact that I am writing this as I typically stray away from computers. If you want to have a great night out it has to be Orange Hill!!!! Thanks up there!

Went there this last Saturday for their "new" Saturday brunch and I was pleasantly surprised! What a deal for the price! The service was freindly and professional and were always there to keep my champagne full! I could find myself here every week!!!!

Great dining experience
By LuvWineAndDine on 06/20/2008
Went here for dinner the other night and had the best time ever! I don'y know why some others here said their experience was terrible, maybe they were expecting TGIF prices and McDonalds food timing! I mean really! 20 - 25 minutes for steak is completely reasonable for a restaurant like this... I thoroughly enjoyed my food and the presentation was terrific. Service was impeccable and the night was perfect. The only criticism that I have is that they really should pour money into the building as the interior could and should be so much better... Not different, just better and more up to date. But do not let that deter you from one of Orange County's top dining destinations! This place is 5 star!

Incredible Restaurant
By LisaMartinez33 on 05/31/2008
A dining experience like no other! Orange Hill is the most unique and elegant restaurants in todays world of super trendy and chain restaurant concepts - usually nice shell but not alot of substance. Not here - not at Orange Hill Restaurant. This place has the most amazing views and ambiance to go along with it's amazing cusine. On our visit everyone was extremely helpful from the front desk to the bus staff - the manager even came by to see how we were doing! The food - AH MAZE ING!!! To start I had the Kobe Beef skewers YUM! Tasty and super tender. For dinner I had the Filet Oscar style - what a treat (I know, I know....Meat and then more meat...But how could I resist). At the end we kept it simple and went for their house made upside down apple walnut pie with cinnamon ice cream - GREAT! If looking to impress or just want to have the best there is the I highly reccomend Orange HIll for any night out! Oh and I hear they have a great Sunday brunch too - I am gonna have to check that out - will re-post here and let y'all know how that goes - I am sure it will blow my mind too! Chow!!!!
