Fat of the Land

Wow! This place was tremendous. Date night during the Art Walk in downtown. Highlights include: The amazing food- we ordered the bread with ham butter ( so yummy), the shrimp was unbelievable, the pork dry rub was so good too. The awesome decor- see my photo, and there was a wonderful poem on the back of the bathroom door that I loved. The great service-with such a small place it's intimate and the staff knocked it out of the park. I think my server was Lee...that team made our night so awesome. Thanks to Fat of the Land for a great date night!!

A fantastic gem in Santa Ana. I was looking for a place to enjoy a quick drink while waiting to pick up my child from a school event and came across this wonderful spot. The decor is beautiful, the service is excellent, and the kitchen is efficient. Samuel was especially courteous and helpful, making the experience even better. I enjoyed a glass of wine with anchovies and will definitely be back for a full meal. This is a place worth saving for future visits.

We've been wanting to check out this tapas spot for awhile and it exceeded our expectations! The restaurant is such a cute, intimate little date spot. Robert (owner) and his wife were so helpful and friendly. Service was amazing! We ordered the octopus, which was very tender, and the squash dish with saffron rice (yum), mushrooms, bread and ham butter, and the rack of pork. The pork was so tender and delicious! You have to try the basque cheesecake as well, which was life changing! It was the best cheesecake I've ever had, so luxurious and rich and delicious! We'll be back again and again!

From the moment I walked into Fat of the Land, I felt warmly welcomed. I was greeted personally by the owner, and every staff member was friendly and clearly knowledgeable about the menu. It's obvious that hospitality is a priority here, which made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. The decor immediately stood out. It’s classy and upscale, yet still inviting and comfortable. It strikes that rare balance between elegance and warmth, making it perfect for a date night or a casual visit for excellent food. The menu may be small, but it is powerful. Every dish has intention, artistry, and flavor that speaks volumes. You can tell each item was thoughtfully crafted with care and purpose. Everything I tried was incredibly fresh, with well-balanced and creative flavor combinations.

I cannot say enough about our experience… It was wonderful and too short. Need to come back as soon as I can. We came for my girlfriend‘s birthday and had a wonderful time. It is small, quaint, quiet, very intimate and personable.
