The Olde Ship - Santa Ana

I have been visiting this restaurant since I turned 21 in 2013, and I've had a mix of great and not-so-great experiences here. However, the staff who have worked here...

I really enjoyed the Santa Ana location and I'm sad to hear that it has closed. The food, service, and atmosphere were consistently wonderful, especially with the live music, like the Beatles cover performances.

UPDATED REVIEW 8/21/19: I absolutely love this place, and the Cottage Pie is as excellent as ever. I added another photo because it's such a beautiful dish! My lunch group is...

The only thing that rivaled the incredible flavors from the kitchen was the exceptional service provided by the staff. During our first visit, Brena and Jacky were outstanding! We tried the Sunday Happy Hour chips, which were fantastic at just $4, and the Scotch egg, which was the best I've had in the USA—far superior to the one at Brass Horse in Portland, OR. A special shout-out goes to the Sticky Toffee Dessert; it was divine! I can definitely make room for another ESB stolen, which has now climbed to the top of my wishlist. I can’t wait to indulge in the lamb on Sunday during my next visit. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

During a delightful shopping trip, we decided to indulge in some comforting food. The tea was absolutely perfect. The chips had a wonderful crispiness, and the gravy was so memorable, especially when paired with the creamiest mashed potatoes I've ever had. The bangers and mash were also delicious and definitely lived up to our expectations. Overall, we'll definitely be returning!
