The bespoke cocktails are the best I've ever had. --so fresh and tailored to my taste preferences and even mood. It's an experience like no other. While the main room dining is fabulous, I actually prefer the small bites in the bar. Every option I've tried had been fantastic. I recommend bringing a few friends so you can share and try as many small plates as possible. I love expanding my palette with the chef's recommendations. This is noteworthy because is usually I'm kind of a culinary wuss, but I at Detention I trust the chef completely and keep an open mind. The flavor adventure is worth it! Who knew food could taste like this? The atmosphere is hip but low key and friendly enough to avoid being pretentious. This is a wonderful place for a special date or even catching-up with good friends. It's the opposite of mediocre, and a meal here is a special event.

Went here for a girls night and i absolutely adored the ambiance and vibe of this place. The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable and skilled in their craft. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, i felt like i was visiting my friend's home. We had 5 different cocktails and i was blown away by each one!! Each drink is crafted with passion and perfection. Their cocktails are amazing, but don't sleep on their delicious food. We devoured the guac/ceviche and the rack of lamb. The unique twists and out of the box foods are definitely worth trying! Such a wonderful and fun experience, definitely can't wait to go back.

Our friends who are members, invited us out to dinner. It's not a pace where you can dine casually. You have to plan for it. You walk in with a member and you just walk outStaff is amazing. Personal touch to the max. Apparently they fine tune the drinks you like to PERFECTION. Owner is energetic, passionate about food and personable. He floated around to make everyone feel good. JOB WELL DONE!!!Food is fantastic. It's almost a continuation of playground. Food seems to have Asian flair with playfulness of Southern California food scene. Food is meant to be shared to think of your table as you order. Corn is amazing!!!!

While we are not members, we had reservations at Trust which allowed us access to Detention for a pre dinner cocktail. The bar tenders are true mixologists! We were able to tell them what spirit we were looking for and flavor profiles and let them take it from there.We had a few cocktails, all that were delicious, then headed next door to dinner.

I came here for sticky pudding! They have different menu throughout the seasons with the freshest ingredients. It used to be the spot to Goto but the crew here all moved to the darkroom. Chill place to sip wine, whiskey and to have a great meal.

Wonderful Experience, Amazing Quality, Fun & Tasteful MenuI've been to DTTN at least once a month now since I've first went (about 5 months ago). I haven't been disappointed once, whether it's to dine with friends or grab a quick drink prior to heading out. Please keep in mind that you do need a membership to dine here but honestly, it's super worth it! The experience is top knotch and it's a great way to impress your friends. When you first walk in, they recognize your face & name and you get welcomed so warmly. There's a lot of different seating areas, the bar / cocktail room, sit right in front of the open kitchen and see the chefs at work, or at the dining room. The menu is uniquely created, you can choose an experience from Europe to Asia! Jason will sit down with you and explain all of the new fun items on the menu, this changes seasonally so I won't dig into my favorite items. Just know that all of the flavors have a unique taste that allows you to travel to that country through your mouth. They have an amazing back bar and all of the bartenders are so knowledgeable and will work with you to make your perfect drink. 10/10 would recommend and come back again.

By @asiansumplingsmugglerDetention 2.0, a private social club, presents an extraordinary and unapologetically diverse menu crafted by the culinary virtuoso, Chef Jason Quinn. Embracing an attitude devoid of frills or unnecessary embellishments, Chef Quinn fearlessly delivers exactly what he desires. The result? Some of the most exceptional and delectable food and drinks one could experience! His unmatched hospitality creates an ambiance that makes patrons feel as if they've been warmly welcomed into his own home. And great thing here is - you don't have to wait for his invite, well actually sort of - you need a membership to get through the reservation line - but that's about it!

Amazing food, Amazing drinks, amazing space, amazing ambience, and most of all amazing people.Anything from the toffee and mochi cakes, to the duck confit pappardelle and oyster mushroom toast is immaculate!!!With an ever changing menu you have to come in and try these delicious dishes before they go. A personal favorite was the burnt basque cheesecake so hopefully it'll come back round. The best restaurant in Santa Ana and I'd highly HIGHLY recommend you come here. You'll find something you love here easy!
