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

Good for the view

By mystickym on 02/17/2008

Overpriced for the view. That was the only thing that was worth the trip up the long and steep driveway. From the time our order was taken, in a room where the tables were packed in like sardines, about an hour later our food arrived. The prime rib was so bad, little meat, lots of fat- had to be sent back, veggies over cooked, my fish, was fishey.. the bread was good, which is what we ate while waiting and waiting for dinner to come. Served by a stressed out waiter. This is not my first time to this restaurant with a view, it will be my last time there to eat. Worth a drive to have a cocktail on the patio. Save your hard earned cash, and go somewhere else.

Worst service ever...

The hostesses are rude and the wait is long. But the view is spectacular!

Still The Best!

I've been going to Orange Hill for special occasions for years and this place just keeps on getting better! You can't beat the ambiance of the waterfall and koi pond at the front, the finely decorated interior and the beautiful view at the back over looking OC. Dimly lit firepits make it a very romantic setting. The lobster was perfect and the service excellent!

Best Dining Experience Ever

By jford86697 on 09/07/2007

My fiancee and I were in the mood to try something new one night so we decided to check out The Orange Hill. And I am so glad we did. I had THE BEST dining experience of my life. Our server, Bill, was very polite, intelligent, and funny. When we both ordered filet mignon he insisted we try the chateabrian. We also needed help selecting a wine to go with it. After asking us a few questions, Bill selected a red wine for us that was exactly what we described and paired with our chateabrian perfectly. After dinner he recommend that we have dessert on the patio and watch the fireworks. Anyone who likes amazing food, top notch service, romantic setting at a great price, you have to try this restaurant.
