Our experience was excellent. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is so dialed - really impressive. Every dish and beverage was incredible - you cannot pass up the mushroom kebab or the prawns! 11/10!

We are so happy that the hockey season is back. It provides us extra opportunities to dine with our friends at Katsuya. The only thing better than the excellent food and drink is the service we receive each and every time. I want to thank Sarah so very much for taking excellent care of our group. Additionally, thank you Tak for your hospitality and warm greeting each and every time we dine. Your leadership is clearly visible in each of your team members. thank you,

We celebrated our son-in-laws birthday at Spaghetinni and it was fantastic. We had a nice booth and our food was all delicious. They made a birthday sign and had a dessert for him. Our server, Teri, was great. We will be back!

    I cannot rave enough about what a lovely dinner my family had at the Brea North Italia location. We celebrated my birthday with 7 adults and 2 kids. The food was appropriately paced, and absolutely delicious. But the service was top tier! Our server was attentive and gave lovely recommendations. The kitchen staff had noticed my kids were being picky with their pizza (not a reflection of the quality, kids are kids), and the woman cutting prosciutto behind our table brought out a plate for my kids to snack on. My toddler was SO HAPPY she kept waving to the woman for more. She then brought out some tiny chocolate balls for the kids. We ended the night with dessert and espresso and everyone was just so pleased. We will definitely be coming back for future family gatherings. Thank you again for such a wonderful visit!

    Bavel never disappoints. All 5 of my guests I brought agreed it was their best meal of the year. The service is impeccable. The staff is all very knowledgeable as is the sommelier. The drinks were perfectly crafted with some unique twists. The food is amazing, simple dishes that are prepared to perfection, as well as some more complex dishes with unique spices to some. Great music as well. I cant recommend Bavel enough.
