7 Best Seafood Restaurants near Brea

“This was a refreshingly great experience.All of the food was excellent... tasted great and served at the right temperature.The place was clean. The service was good.For safety reasons they should move the chairs from the hall that leads to the ER exit and restrooms.“

“Love this place for great pasta ! Never disappoints, great service each time. I usually go on Wednesdays, pasta and wine bottles are half off (: my favorite pasta dish isbthe rigatoni alfredo 2.0 i add chicken and shrimp.

“The best Mexican food we've found in the area. I'm from San Antonio and my wife is from East L.A. So, no strangers to authentic Mexican food.We have lived in the Diamond Bar/Walnut area for 40-years. We've eaten at De Oro many times, tried many different menu items, and we have never been disappointed.I realize people have different tastes in food, different expectations, and different experiences when dining out. I feel bad for the folks who had a disappointing experience at De Oro.The staff is always friendly towards us and if they are busy and running slow, they apologize to us and bring us more tortilla chips.We know if there are a lot of customers or if they have a lot of to-go orders, it's going to take more time than usual. We are old and retired, but not everyone has the time or patience to wait and they leave a negative review.We have tried many Mexican restaurants in the area. I won't mention the ones we didn't like because, it's a matter of personal taste.Xavi's in Chino Hills was my favorite, but I haven't eaten there since before the pandemic. I expect they are still great. Pepe's in Hacienda Heights, The Durango in Brea (they didn't survive the 2020 shut down), the big Juancho's restaurant in Ontario (I don't know if they are still there), the small Juancho's cafe in Chino Hills is good for a quick take-out (they used to be better before Covid and they had to remove the "help yourself" bean pot), The Whole Enchilada in Diamond Bar before the demographics changed causing them to shut down, and Kalaveras. I can't be sure if it's the food I like or the atmosphere. I always have fun no matter which one I eat at, but I particularly like the small hole-in-the-wall one in Montebello.If anyone knows a better place in the area for Mexican food, I'd like to know.“

“I came late ish around 8:20. When I tried to get drinks. The ice machine was broken and they were no ice left. Mind you I was the last customer. And there was no one else ordering after me. Anna M. (The manager) went out to a store to get two bags of ice. Little things like this can really go a long way. It’s true I didn’t like Mediterranean Branzino that much but the fact that she went out of her way to get ice was a really nice gesture. Keep up the great work Anna!“

“Late lunch Sat afternoon. No wait.Seated & greeted. "Anything to drink? Or are you ready to order?" I inquired if they still made a delishious black raspberry daiquiri they made probably 25 years ago.She said she'd check. And said Yes!Great we'll take two!My son is not much of a seafood eatter but he ordered a combo of popcorn shrimp & the coconut shrimp.I asked for price on 1.25lb lobster. $50 bucks. I chose that. Im there for lobster.She returns with our drinks. Not the same black raspberry I was talking about, but tasty. $13.99 ea.She asks if I want to pick my lobster? I hesitate, Ive seen tanks out front, but never chosen one from it. I decide to go look.They all want on the rake, so I say anyone of them is fine.Their biscuits are delishious.The food comes & looks great!But I discover I have no idea how to get the meat out of a full steamed lobster! I've only eatten tails. I work on a claw untill the waitress comes to check on us. She offers to take my lobster back & have it cracked up by the pros.Dinner was great from there. A little work but worth it. All I ate was lobster, took all sides home for lunch.I highly recommend this place. Its pricy, so plan or save according.Our meals & 2 cocktails total $100. And dont forget the tip. We tipped 20% as everything was well executed, which added another $20 to our tab.Money well spent on a special meal.“
