50 Forks - Santa Ana

Came here with a group of friends, some of whom had had experiences here, so that expectations were high. At least for the food I knew that I would not expect too much of the decoration - it is in a school, finally. It is clean and minimal, but the acoustics are terrible, all the noises fade away, and when the night came forward, it became quite loud. Well, we didn't care since we were the loud table, Lol, but you probably shouldn't come here for a quiet intimate dinner. Ambiance aside, the food ended surprisingly well! Between the 12? we ended the order pretty much everything on the menu, and I don't think it's a bad element in the pile. Some articles got more Raves than others the Arugula, tomatoes and fried pizza dough appetizer, the salted caramel thing with the bacon, but nothing was bad, what was good-it meant that the students were great! I enjoyed my Tuscan seafood stew very much, and my tart lemon sableuse was interesting and not too rich! You can't serve any alcohol here. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Overall a nice culinary experience, helped by the great company.

Grilled asparagus served with tomato, rosemary and dijon mustard. The asparagus was marinated in balsamic vinegar. It was grilled to perfection and slightly crisp and quite tasteful. The locally grown grape tomatoes were presented with removed and fresh shells from the farm. Presentation was also beautiful. Up there! Filet from Beef Carpaccio served with capers, EVO and shaved parmigiano-reggiano. The beef fillet was cut thinly and practically melted into the mouth. The EVO and capers added another layer of taste. The Parmesan was elegantly shaved for a classic presentation. Up there! Cobb salad with fried chicken, Maytag-Bleu cheese, maple bacon and avocado. This is the most beautiful Cobb salad ever! The avocado was cut and arranged in a complicated fanned base to frame the Cobb seed components. The shredded salad upper part provided a tempting base for this fresh garden. This is one of my favorite salads, with the flavor elements I long – buttery avocado, creamy tangy bleu cheese, salty sweet bacon. Market Pizza options change so ask your server for pizza creation for the day. On this occasion it was a pesto pizza that was fried with mushrooms and red onions. The crust was hand-rolled in the house with a crispy exterior and slightly chewing interior. The pesto and toppings worked well together for the perfect cake. For a gall that cannot have tomato sauce, this was the perfect pizza for me. Up there! Seasonal fruit tart with custard filling and embroidered with oranges, blueberries, kiwi fruit and a raspberry. The fruit cake was delicious! It was just a bite and I was stuck. The crust was perfect as a shortbread cookie. The Custard was creamy and not too sweet. I would definitely get it back! It was also a visual festival, with fresh fruits in a delicious arrangement. Great presentation! Up there!
