From romantic booths to great views, score the best tables at top Orange County restaurants.
Updated: July 01, 2004
Ring early to request 14 or 51, two coveted tables that flank the posh dining room. (Seats up to seven.)
Bar buffs book booth 300 in the lounge area, but tables 81 and 82's patio fireplace settings also beckon.
Dine anywhere but behind the piano in the First Cabin Restaurant--no membership necessary--for breathtaking marina views and people-watching.
Arrive early to avoid waiting for popular seaside tables, or book the private wine cellar for a secluded sup.
Request the middle of the 17 window-front tables to balance ocean views and people-watching. (Seats up to six.)
Be seen from the low-slung couches along the waterfront windows; come early to secure your spot.
Reserve the hip, VIP bar booth (booth 10), or the private group table in the back of the restaurant (table 22).
