Paul Martin's American Grill

Always have a beautiful anniversary celebration with my husband at Paul Martin's. The atmosphere is calming, the seating is spacious and the ceilings are high. There are beautiful light fixtures and a small bar with a TV. Steak is always cooked to order, filet is 8oz cooked to perfection. Sides were tasty and generous in portion. Draft brew is crisp and cold. Will return for our anniversary for years to come!

Made reservations online. Showed up 30 minutes early and was seated immediately. Our waiter, Ian, was fantastic. Had the cheddar biscuits and calamari for appetizers. For dinner we had the braised pork (excellent) and the salmon (also excellent). Mac n Cheese was good too! Lastly absolutely enjoyed the butter cake for dessert.

The restaurant is very nice. The interior is stylish and spacious. It has a very romantic atmosphere. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious. We also had a pretty private booth, and if not for some very annoyingly loud groups nearby, everything would be perfect.

Always a nice place to visit, although I was only at their locations in Irvine and Thousand Oaks. There was a happy hour meeting. Right. Free parking. The Happy Hour menu is simple. You have to say that the buffalo flower is very tasty, but for $8 you hardly get 1/5 of a cauliflower head. The hoisin ribs were big and good. Burger was meh.

I was here for brunch at Easter. We ordered the Cheddar biscuits with the honey-thym butter. The cookies were very small, but delicious. The spinach and artichoke dip was served with spiced flatbread, a great change served by the tortilla chips. For my duck, I ordered the chicken and waffles. No complaints here! I'm almost done. It was sweet, savory and spicy. I liked that they put the hot sauce on the side and the whole chicken didn't shatter in hot sauce, it let me control what bites I wanted to be sharp. Service was fast and friendly. It wasn't too busy when we were there, so the kitchen quickly curbed our orders.
