Spoons California Grill

Santa Ana, CA

Summary
Would we go there again: Yes

A decent place to grab a bite for dinner while travelling on business, or whatever. The food was pretty good and the service was good. The atmosphere reminded me of a toned-down Fuddruckers or Red Robin.

Comments & Ratings
Tim's Comments: Yet another business trip outing. This place was walking distance from our hotel, though we didn't walk, cause my boss has a bad back, and bad knees, and a generally busted-up body. He's getting better though. Anyway, after my last business outing experience, I was a little leery, but this place turned out okay.
