Recently visited for the first time while celebrating our wedding anniversary and have now found our new go-to for the most special of our occasions! Rothschild's is cozy, welcoming, and intimate in the best ways. Our servers were attentive and helpful with menu suggestions. We started with the meatballs and garlic bread and oh my goodness .... I could only eat that garlic bread for the rest of my life!! My husband got the ragu for his entree while I got the steak with the house pasta - both were incredible of course. During dinner we enjoyed some cocktails which were strong to say the least. I got the lemon drop martini and dirty martini, while my husband got the house old fashioned. We were surprised with a celebration dessert as well. Highly recommend ! We will definitely be going back.

Rating is based on FOOD only, not on service. DOV: 3/3/25I did a take out order. This is the first time ever that I ordered from here. I never heard of this place and never checked this place out on YELP. I pretty much got a giftcard to this place and so I went straight to their website to place an order. Not knowing anything about them, I thought their "Braised Short Rib" sounded delicious and worth redeeming my birthday giftcard on. I love short ribs in general, so I was very excited to try a new place out. Parking: Its valet. I'm not sure if there is a cost, but I had self parked to just go in quickly to grab my food order. Restaurant: It looked very cute from the outside. As you walk right in, you immediately see a bar and some high top tables. Then there is another room, that looks like the dining area. It had mood lighting. Customer Service: I walked over to the bar, and told them I was there to pick up my order. She walked right away to the kitchen to grab it. One person, asked me if I was excited for the short rib. Since I had ordered it days in advance. I responded, yes I am and ordered it early so I wouldn't forget to order it today. I walked away with my food. I thought to myself, this is a small bag. As I arrived home, I opened my bag. It was a small container. I guess I had imagined the side portions would be more. Taste: I took a bite out of the short rib, and it was very well marinated (more on the salty side), the pasta sauce was a bit tangy but edible, and the veggies was fine. Portion on the veggies was small, they could have added more tbh Price: $48 - I would find the price reasonable had they given me more veggies. It was a small amount of food for almost $50 and salty. The tangy pasta and short ribs eaten together balanced each other out. Overall, I am happy with my meal. It was a complete new experience and place I had never tried. I definitely would love to dine here with some friends for a celebration.

The Pasta Bolognese was excellent with bold flavors. The Salmon Piccata was wonderful and cooked perfectly medium without even having to ask. The potatoes were nice. The vegetables were too crunchy. Next time I'll ask if I can get potatoes and a bit of pasta instead of vegetables.The Tiramisu was gourmet. The Affogato was fine.The Weather Pinot Noir wine was great.

As soon as you walked in you felt like you received a warm big hug. I love the ambiance so quaint. All the staff were very friendly and attentive which I value a lot when I go to a restaurant. The place is rather small so I highly suggest making a reservation in advance. Just to avoid a long wait. The main star of the show was their espresso martini. OH MY!!! This was the best espresso martini I have tried. I will be coming back for this alone. I also had a whisky sour and it was done to perfection! Those are my two favorite drinks and they were memorable! The pistachio pesto pasta was good! Nothing bad to say but there are other places I would prefer to eat Italian food.

Rating: 3.5/5Nice and lively dinner spot! It gets pretty crowded and busy, so recommend making a reservation in advance. Loved the art and how the interior looked. They had valet parking, but we were able to get street parking.The food was okay. We got the Lobster Ravioli and Lamb Garganelli. It is filling, but nothing too outstanding. We really enjoyed the garlic bread though. Also got the espresso martini and liked it as well; the holiday tree design on it was a bonus.As for the service, our waitress was super nice. Always kept checking in with us and cracking jokes despite how busy it was.

Love this place! The food and service is amazing. One of my favorite espresso martinis ever. I got the bolognese pasta--it was great! Only thing I find weird is that the girls have to wear bow ties for their uniform? It's giving Cheesecake Factory. Overall would recommend!

This is my favorite restaurant in Orange County. The garlic toast is so fresh and delicious. I especially enjoy their Milanese style dishes. The ambience is always cozy.

The veal meatballs or Spicy shrimp and garlic bread are an absolute must-try. The meatballs are tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, while the garlic bread is buttery, crispy, and just melts in your mouth.All the pastas are good my favorite is the fettuccine. On a special occasion, I go for the ribeye. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which only adds to the incredible dining experience, I don't know about you but good service is a must for me.They have a great wine selection but for me it's the espresso martinis.

Always my go to spot when I have friends visiting from out of town or if I get the itch to venture out for the night! Their portions are extremely generous and you can never go wrong with anything you order because it's all SO GOOD! I always appreciate small local restaurants that are all about top notch service, cozy ambiance, and delicious cocktails, and this place checks all the boxes. The owner really cares about anyone that walks in the door, always does his best to accommodate customers, and focuses on leaving a lasting impression to keep you coming back, which you will. Whether you sit at the bar on a random Wednesday or make a reservation for a group dinner on the weekends, it'll quickly become your go-to spot too!
