Oliver's Osteria

Oliver's, Selanne's or the Studio.

If you’re ok with a lively place Broadway is really great. So is Oliver’s. So is Selanne. The food is great at all 3. You’ll be fine dressed up. If you want quieter selanne and ask for a seat in the dining room not the bar area. If you avoid expensive alcohol these 3 will be about $100 / person. Selanne may be a bit more depending.

Rumari is fabulous. Oliver’s Osteria. Marche Moderne. Mastros. If you want something more low key but still great “Oak” is one of my favorites.

Gulfstream or Bandera in Corona del Mar. Oliver Osteria in Laguna Beach. Watergrill in Costa Mesa. Solstice in Irvine.

For more upscale Italian, try Oliver's Osteria (the drive to the restaurant is also fun, there's lots of hiking trails along the way and an art college that's spread out). If you want regular diner/American food Nick's is good. There's also Urth cafe if you want a vegan option. For some beachside…

These 3 are the best. Olivers is not particularly fancy, but the food is very, very good. Selannes is more of an occasion place, with excellent food. Studio is sort of in between. Good food but not stuffy fancy. Another choice could be Marche Moderne in Newport Coast.
