75 Best Restaurants in Orange County 2016

And what the H— is Bella Cuba doing on this list??? It’s not even a very good or serious Latin restaurant, absolutely second- or third-rate – we’ve been there a few times and TRIED to like it, but to no avail!!! Poor service, lackluster food. We’ve had good Cuban food in New York and San Francisco and this is nowhere near even okay!

And Reunion, what a disappointment! We really tried to like it, but it was just okay at best. Was maybe a bit better in its earlier iteration as Canyon, but only a bit better, before the chef moved on to the thing at Roger’s Gardens, which was also a huge disappointment and also hugely expensive!
