Fleenor's Restaurant

Great place for good food and a small selection of craft beer.

Tucked in the corner of downtown Santa Ana, Fleenor's might be too often overlooked. I enjoyed the pre fixed 5 course dinner here on a Wednesday night. Everything from start to finish was decadent. 10/10 would go again.

This spot opened up about 8 months ago. SO good. Been there twice and our waitress was Claudia, best service ever. Really good small plates but their entrees are also very solid. Their bucatini with meatballs is bomb and they have their own take on pizookies. Cauliflower and Nashville chicken bites are good too.

Setting is pretty relaxed, good indoor, outdoor and bar seating. The cocktail menu is pretty good and they have a nice balance of lighter and heavier stuff. The wine menu is a steal. They charge half of what I’ve seen at some other places so they don’t mark up the wines too much.

Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s gonna be near downtown Santa Ana!

Beautiful interior. Came for a private happy hour. It was very nicely done in the upstairs room. The exposed brick was beautiful. The space was just big enough to accommodate and still be initimate. Parking was right next door in a lighted and guarded structure. I only wish it was validated.
