Second time here and I absolutely love this place. Both times here the management has interacted with us to make sure that our experience was up to expectations. The food was absolutely amazing. I am already thinking about what I will be having the next time I come back. And to top it all off… the apple pie! Oh my gosh! Soooo good. Can’t wait to come back. Great ambience and people watching.

It wasn’t busy and we had a reservation for our party of five. The hostesses were gracious, asking us if we’d like to be seated at their Library table, which was perfect - appropriately lit on the dimmer side, beautifully decorated with amusing Halloween pieces, including some artwork instantly recognizable as from nearby Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion. Waitperson Tony was cordial and attentive, commenting positively on our drink and appetizer selections - an Old Fashioned, a gin drink called a Cat’s Claw, sweet bread and a pork belly dish called Pig Candy. Entrees ranged from Salmon, their self-described #1-chosen Beef Short Rib, a chicken salad and prime rib sandwich which looked like a robust cheesesteak. Everyone in my party said their choices were delicious, and my short rib was tender, tasty and well-complemented by mashed potatoes, cooked carrots and onion straws. I chose the place because I was dining with family and the restaurant occupied the former location of a liquor store where my late brother worked and managed for several years. With some decorations taken from the former liquor store, our dinner at Bosscat served an homage to my brother. I now live in Florida, but everyone at our table said they would return. Sorry, we didn’t take pictures.

We always enjoy Kings! All locations are great, but we prefer the one in Orange. Service is always fantastic and we love the ambience. Very conveniently located for the many people that we gather with. We often celebrate, birthdays and anniversaries there, everyone enjoys it so much.
