Reviews
The ambience is simple, but it felt a bit underwhelming compared to other spots in the area. It’s a decent place to grab a quick bite, but not somewhere I’d go to for a special outing. The service was friendly, but the wait time for food was longer than I anticipated, especially since the place wasn’t too busy.
Overall, The Peel is just average. It’s not a bad option if you’re in the area, but there’s definitely room for improvement. I’d consider coming back if they made a few changes, but for now, it’s not my first choice
BAR:
The first thing you see is the big gorgeous bar. It’s a large square shape with seating on 3/4 of the four sides. There are TV’s on each side, a nice display of bottles behind the ba and above your head for decoration.
DRINKS:
They have an around 12 specialty cocktails featuring your standard spirits. The presentation on some of these is awesome, and there are more that I wish I could have tried. You can also order custom cocktails as they have a full bar. There are ~10 options for both red and white wines. There are also a couple sparkling options available.
The cocktails we tried:
-Como La Flor ($16.50) – This was really refreshing and wasn’t overly tart or bitter. It’s a beautiful purple color and served with a slice of grapefruit in the glass).
-So Cal Sling ($16) – I was going between this and the Gene Autry, and our server recommended this one. The spirit flavor was there, but not overpowering. Another refreshing cocktail served in a highball style glass with a dried pineapple garnish.
-The Fera ($16) – This was the replacement drink for one that was sent back. The display on this one is fun with some cucumber slivers on a skewer. She said it was crisp and delicious, and really enjoyed it.
FOOD:
We came with a small group of 3 and decided to order some dishes to share amongst us.
We got:
-Mediterranean Charcuterie Board (Spanish chorizo, prosciutto, capicola, salami, manchego cheese, point reyes cheese, brie cheese, pickled vegetables, olives, grain mustard, crispy baguette – $22) – This thing is loaded. Great value for the price, they definitely don’t skimp on the meat. I do wish there was more cheese, but the ones they included were very tasty.
-Peel Fish Tacos (Mahi Mahi, sour orange adobo, corn tortilla, citrus, coleslaw, fire roasted tomato salsa, guacamole, lime, chipotle aioli, cilantro – $18) – They come with 3 per order. The fish is grilled, not fried, and has great flavor!
-Crispy Brussel Sprouts (Balsamic, honey syrup, crispy onions, roasted shishito peppers – $13) – There was a lot going on here, but it worked! I liked the crispy onions on top, and don’t think I’ve ever had brussels with shishito peppers. Worth trying!
-Tempura Cauliflower (Sweet chili BBQ sauce, sesame seeds, scallions – $15) – This might have been the favorite dish of everything we ordered. We ordered an extra side of the sauce, which was super flavorful. Would for sure order this one again!
-California Hummus (Sundried tomato, cucumbers, niçoise olives, Temecula olive oil – $12) – I only had a few bites of this, but it was tasty. I don’t like olives, and it has little pieces of olive spread out on top, which I didn’t love. It comes with cute little soft pita pieces, though we added a side of tortilla chips ($4) to accommodate our GF friend.
PARKING:
There is a self-parking lot that is part of the hotel. You grab a ticket on the way in, and are supposed to get it validated before you leave.
OVERALL:
We came with a small group to celebrate a friend, and had a very nice time. We came on a Wednesday evening, and wasn’t busy at all. Just a few people at the bar and a few tables throughout the dining room.
Our server, Bryan, was friendly and made recommendations on favorite / popular dishes. Our friend didn’t like one of the cocktails she ordered, and he happily replaced it without issue.
I would definitely recommend coming to check out The Peel for some great cocktails and delicious bites!

Alessandro was a friendly and efficient server. He gave us the scoop on the event menu and top selling dishes and shared his drink faves. The chef and sous chef also came out to say hi to each table – it was a really nice touch.
My favorites were the Pei mussels and Shrimp & Scallop Aguachile: both citrusy and super tasty. I absolutely love the curry broth of the mussels which went so well with the toasty bread. Both had very generous servings of seafood. If you like fried chicken wings with a spicy kick, they have it so delicious!
Loved my cocktails too: Como La Flor and Bloody Smoke. Very unique, colorful and refreshing! I’d love to try the other yummy cocktails!
I will most definitely return with my husband and friends! Highly recommended for after-work get-togethers!!! Hopefully they’ll have a brunch menu for weekend family brunches 🙂

The Peel Craftbar & Kitchen in Garden Grove offers a delightful happy hour experience. Enjoy discounted drinks and appetizers in a stylish, modern setting. From handcrafted cocktails to delicious bites, there’s something for everyone. The friendly staff and inviting atmosphere make it the perfect spot to unwind and socialize.
Ambiance: The place is clean and modern. Loved the look of the bar. However, the overall feel was a bit too plain for our taste.
Drinks: My brother sampled the “Hat Trick” and enjoyed it, though a touch more duck fat might’ve enhanced it. I had the “Green Eyes” and found it lacking.
Starters: The pepperoni flatbread reminded us of something you’d find at a kid’s party. On the plus side, the Korean wings had great flavor, but they weren’t served hot enough.
Mains: My wife’s burger was somewhat dry, and the bun wasn’t up to par. The fried chicken sandwich my brother got was fine but not memorable. My tuna poke bowl was tasty, but I’d have loved a bit more rice.
Ratings:
