Tangerine Room

Fantastic food! The appetizers, main courses, and deserts we're visually stunning, and just as tasty. Daniel our server was fantastic, it felt like we were privately hosted.

Nice clean environment food is very flavorful and the presentation is to die for. As you can see I got the chicken and waffles which where delicious .The chilaquies to my surprise where out of this world great flavor portion and crunchy not soggy.

We are so fortunate to have this place just a few minutes drive away from home. Westin Hotel recently open in our area and we wanted to check it out. We used the valet parking, you get the first two hours free (with validation) and after that is $12 per hour. I got there first to meet with my husband, walked around and went to the bar to watch a football game to wait for him. Rico and Anthony were such a delight, they were very polite and professional. Rico prepared a wonderful berry mojito and after that Steve the Manager introduced himself, checked to make sure I was ok and suggested the Tangerine Mojito, so far my favorite, I also tried the regular mojito, all cocktails were made to perfection, wine is great and there is a lovely selection of beers. By then my husband showed up and we moved to the dining area which was very clean and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Our server was Lauren, she greeted us with a smile and went over the menu and their staple dishes, we had a seven course meal and everything was on point. Starting with the salad , the crudo and we also got the chicken and the lamb and the steak, Food is just stunning along with presentation. Love this place and will continue to visit. The desserts were sinful and we had no complains food was hot, Lauren kept checking on us and no dirty plates were on our table, everything was so synchronized, so we had to compliment the Chef. Chef Alora and Chef Eduardo came to our table and I had to let them know it was the best meal we had in ages. We didn't get a chance to go to the rooftop Bar which I heard is a great place to watch Disneyland's Firework show, so we are definitely planning to comeback soon.

This place was amazing! We brought my Mom and Aunt who thoroughly enjoyed the night as well!

Biggest complaint: it’s hard to find. From Katella, you can see the Marriot, you can see a sign for Flemmings… but there isn’t a sign outside that say Tangerine Room. If you Google the directions, you will probably pass it by. The restaurant is IN the hotel. Hopefully they put a sign outside soon, I imagine that would draw more customers, just a tip! It’s nice hidden gem, but it shouldn’t be THAT hidden. The Tangerine Room sounds pretty cool as is, so throw a sign out there! Entice the people!

We seated promptly and our server, Andy, was a sweetheart! She did a great job selling us on some of the meals, and described the dishes to us to help us make up our minds. She was chatty, but in a pleasant way, making us all laugh and enjoy the experience.

Appetizers:
Scallops… you only get 2, but they were cooked to perfection, and the mushrooms had a great earthy flavor!
Do Stefano Burratta… if you are wanting to venture out and try something different, give the a try! You could make a meal of it if you’re vegetarian. The squash was very creamy, and the greens wear nice and crispy!

Dinners:
Lamb Shank… it was huge! I will be making egg and lamb burritos for sure! It was good. I’ll try something else next time.
Mary’s Chicken… my mom doesn’t go out of her comfort zone much, and she enjoyed this. It’s different enough to be excited, but not intimidating.
Beef Short Rib… this was delicious! It falls apart easily and has just the right amount of juiciness!

Dessert:
Cheesecake… the hint of citrus added a lightness to cheesecake. It wasn’t too thick either, just the right amount for two.
Apple Tarte… this was pretty good! I don’t like Apple desserts, but I had a bite and don’t regret it! I couldn’t eat the whole thing, but I don’t have much of a sweet tooth.

The manager, Steve, was attentive as well. He told about the rooftop restaurant/ bar, Rise, and offered to bring us up! It felt like a secret invite, you need a special FOB on the elevator to get up there. He took care of us once we were up there, we felt special!

All in all, we loved it! It’s the next day and we are still beaming about it :) thanks Andy and Steve! Sorry for the novel, if you made it this far… it just goes to show how much we enjoyed ourselves 😃

The food here is amazing and the experience is made even better by our server Robin. She is amazing and just so hospitable. She should get a raise for being such a great ambassador. Highly recommended. The lamb-shank was phenomenal and meat simply falls off the bone.
