OC Food Reviews

I woke up Saturday morning craving garlic, and luckily I happen to live around the corner from the best garlic fix in the OC, Rosine’s Mediterranean Cafe on Wier Canyon Road in Anaheim Hills. We headed over around lunch time, it had been a while since I’d been there for lunch, we usually go for dinner, and I had forgotten how reasonable their prices are for lunch.

I ordered the half rotisserie chicken, which is sort of what Rosine’s is famous for, and that fame is well deserved. But in my opinion the main event at Rosine’s, and the whole reason for us going, is their amazing garlic sauce! If you drop by Rosine’s the garlic sauce is not to be missed. It’s creamy, whipped, sweet roasted garlic heaven. Most of the dishes come with a choice of sides, if garlic sauce isn’t enough garlic for you there’s garlic mashed potatoes, but I recommend the red roasted potatoes. Another favorite side that I can’t resist is the hummus. I consider myself somewhat of a hummus connoisseur and the hummus at Rosine’s is not the best I’ve ever had but it’s decent.

Rosine’s is one of the local establishments that is absolutely a must, if you’ve never been there make plans to go right now. The atmosphere at Rosine’s is a little bit upscale but intimate. If you’re looking for a good date restaurant this is a good choice, of course the whole garlic factor has to be taken into account.

After some pita bread and garlic sauce and amazing rotisserie chicken I was feeling much better and ready to tackle the rest of the weekend.
