In Short
After building a reputation for more than 20 years in Manhattan's Upper East Side, Chef Charlie Palmer has finally headed west. And what better place to settle than at Bloomingdale's inside the South Coast Plaza, SoCal's unsurpassed temple to the luxe life? Serving lunch and dinner daily, the menu maintains its classical French leanings with robust American cuisine. Dinner entrees range from crisp black sea bass to red wine poached beef tenderloin, while side dishes like truffle potato gnocchi and braised hen-of-the-woods mushrooms keep it exciting. There is also a sliders lunch menu that puts an unexpected twist on the mini-burger staple--think chicken fried chicken with cheddar country gravy, crab cake with fennel relish, PBLT (pork belly, lettuce and tomato) and Kobe beef.

ew.. A group of 5 of us went for a birthday lunch... The food is gross... and portions are sooo skimpy. The sauces are nice.. flavorful.. but just rich & takes away from the actual fish or pasta... The gnocci was undercooked & 2 plates of it had to be replaced. Desserts were phenomenal.. but so expensive. Service was professional, but needed personality. Decent menu selections, but tiny portions & just heavy weird food. We left hungry.. and don't plan on going back. It was worth checking out.

I've lived in San Francisco and New York and am a fan of great food. Charlie Palmer's had a reputation of great food and amazing wine list. The wine list was amazing. I was surprised they carried Plumpjack Reserve Cab, one of my favorites. The food was mediocre and quite disappointing. I ordered the filet mignon with the blue cheese - the meat was tough - a bit overdone - the blue cheese was quite overpowering. I also ordered the passion fruit dessert and again subpar. The service took too long; the server wasn't really prepared or knew too much about the food. I complained to the manager and all they could do was apologize. I will happily take my money elsewhere - I hear Bouchon, Bistro Jeanty, Slanted Door, A16 calling. Maybe a mall situation in the middle of suburbia is not the best place to be. WHAT A LET DOWN!!!!

It may have been because I was in a large group or that I asked who the chef was but we got amazing service. We had little appetizers show up compliments of the chef and even an ending from the pastry chef. The meal was paced well and we were seated next to the amazing industrial looking wine rack.
