We used Old Camp Bar and Grill for the catering services for our women's retreat last weekend. We ended up with 93 of us and we all enjoyed the food. We had the ground beef taco bar for dinner and it was very tasty and there was plenty of food. We also used their services for our reception. We had a charcuterie tray, along with veggies, and again, plenty. (And the ranch dip was incredible!) Highly recommend these guys for any event you are having in the area. Very easy to work with and Makenzie was absolutely amazing. Never had to ask her to replenish anything--she was so attentive.

Hidden gem inside the Ayres Hotel. Small and cozy . Food is great. I recommend almost the whole menu. Great fries & wings. The burger is tremendous. Pastrami tacos are shockingly great. My go-to is one of their many salads or the Ahi Poki is So so good. Beer , liquor & wine plus Makayla is a Rockstar. Her warm, friendly customer service makes you feel like you've known her forever. The cook I believe his name is Juan is a one man show but that doesn't take away from the quality of the food. Everything he makes is tremendous. Also, the patio has a firepit for the cooler nights. Definitely recommend.

Food is good, not great, but the service is exceptional. Mikayla ran the entire operation: bartender, cashier, waitress, even room service. She was extraordinary.

Hey you know this place is like a hidden cafe. No idea it existed, a friend took me there to try it for the first time. Rolled up, place was dead. Not one person in the place but the ambiance was nice and quiet. Light music in the background and an nba game on the television. Wait service was good, waitress was nice and was quick and prompt. Food was actually good and very reasonably priced. I would go back again if I just wanted to hang out with some buddies, get some food and have a few drinks.

I had their BLT sandwich and my niece orders the mc n cheese. The sandwich was very tasty. Everything was fresh and the bacon was cooked to perfection. The sandwich also came With fried potatoes and a housemade tomato/ketchup sauce that was the perfect complement to the potatoes. Everything is made to order. Must try if you're in the area.

Found Old Camp Bar and Grill on here when looking for someplace close to grab dinner with my niece while she was in town. I was a little surprised to see that it was a hotel restaurant, that is until we sat down and looked at the menu. The menu had a nice variety of choices, all of which sounded delicious. It was hard for us to choose what to get. The waitress was friendly and helpful. I got the Old Camp burger and my niece got the pastrami sandwich. Both were amazing. The quality and flavor of the food are not what I'm used to in a hotel restaurant, and we both said we'd go back for the house made fries alone. All their sauces and everything are made in house. The prices were comparable to other restaurants, if not more affordable than some. Also a nice surprise being inside a hotel. I definitely say give it a try if you're in the Mission Viejo area. It was good and I'd go back.

Hidden Gem. You normally try to dodge your lobby bar/restaurant or resort to it as a last resort. Came in here with this mindset. They won me over with pastrami tacos. And kept me with great service. The vibe here feels like a lobby bar. But the output is something special. Housemade ketchup? Housemade pickles? Shit now I'm having pastrami tacos and a burger. Add great drinks and service and this place defies all lobby bar logic.
