Cultivation Kitchen Anaheim

Loved this new little spot just steps away from the Packing District (shares the same parking lot). It has so much charm & natural light. I only wished my kitchen/dining room looked like this. Think Fixer Upper. The menu is amazing! However, they don't take rezzies and it's first come, first serve. Your entire party has to be there before they'll seat you. Also if you get there early like we did, they only serve breakfast (right side of the the menu) vs. the community plates and other menu items on the left. Thankfully we weren't left wanting. I feel like we ordered almost everything there was to order on the breakfast side of the menu: avocado toast with poached eggs, frittata w/prosciutto, acai bowl, green smoothies, coffee, pancakes & french toast. My favorite was the French toast. I thought the pancake had great presentation, but wasn't blown away by it. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend coming here!

Decided to try this place last weekend and found out they just opened on 4/26/19! Its an order at counter and just sit anywhere type of restaurant. They give you a number and you stick it into the succulent pot at your table. Pretty cute. Essentially, to get a dish you choose a protein and then pair it with a veggie side. You can have more than one side for a little bit more cost, up to 3 sides max I believe. Sauce choices are presented, and so the customization is fairly robust. We got the charcuterie board, and although the cheese and meat selection was not as exotic as I hoped (it was a pairing of mozzarella, goat cheese, prosciutto, and salami), nonetheless it was still quite tasty. My main complaint would be that the quantity is honestly not enough. I expected it to be good for at least 3 to 4 people, but it was honestly more for 2. The dishes came and they were prepared perfectly. The salmon that I got was soft, flaky, and buttery smooth. It was not under or over cooked, and the skin was still crispy! I also tried the beef, and the cuts were very tender and Juicy. Veggies were also delicious, as I got to try the broccoli and Brussel sprouts. The brussle sprouts had an excellent brown note from the roasting whilst the broccoli, being fire roasted, still maintained a fresh crunch upon bite. Overall, the food was delicious, and I am anticipating to have a return meal to try out more delectable items from the menu. Also, they don't accept tip. I left a couple dollars upon leaving but was promptly chased down by the employee who explained to us that they don't do tips (I'm not sure if they accept it via card either, as I wasn't given the option to do so upon ordering). I will update if necessary if I am incorrect.
