The Recess Room - Fountain Valley

Very hit or miss with service when you sit at the bar the drinks are fantastic and handmade, the bottom is going to get one of 2 ways you get an alert that is completely aware and reviewed with you repeated, or you will receive a alert that is simply totally distracted and/or aloof as hell, and you will be ignored or overlooked repeatedly during your meal or bar experience. The food is pretty good and they do some things in/out quarterly (at least the 's my take) but it is also subject to who in the kitchen this night together with the service/servers. You just keep going with a nice selection of Asian/Fusion offers, and not too many as you see in other restaurants The atmosphere is usually somehow loud with typical bare white noise, but the lower level lighting in the evenings keeps it effortless. If you are lucky with bartender food service, you should have a pleasant evening with a great meal and wine great drinks. ?

The drinks food were delicious! There was whiskey tasting so we got that free buzz boost. I would've gave a 4 star rating for our party receiving our dinners late--mine was last--BUT they comped some drinks and hooked it up for our birthday girl (woman! with a dessert tray so that made it worth it.

Always a great time at The Recess Room. Great Happy hour deals, craft cocktails, and spirit tastings almost every week. Had fun with the special Halloween cocktails and decor. Order the brussell sprouts, you can thank me later :

Came for Happy Hour and Tiki Thursday. The food and drinks were delicious. Had the chicken bites on the happy hour (and appetizer) menu and the chicken was delicious and juicy. Also tried the bone marrow burger and it was like a smashed onion burger but with a slice of bone (for some diy bone marrow digging). Also got a charcuterie board which was generally good. Our server was nice ? it is a bit pricey but is good for a nice evening out.

Being a caveman for this long and finally we decided to try this outdoor dinning experience at the Recess Room. We can reserve ahead of time using yelp and we got the 5 pm reservations. We ordered the Thai curly fries, taco appetizer, duck gumbo and chicken pot pie with bone marrow for the main dish. The tacos are very tasty, the dipping sauce got a kick to the flavors but I love it!! The chicken pot pie with bone marrow is seriously our favorite!! The pot pie is very flaky and very well combined flavors dipping in the beef potato soup. However, the duck gumbo tasted just like chicken and lack of flavors. Overall the cocktails are very presentable and the flavors more on a sweet side.
