Third Street Ale Works - Santa Ana

Tom George restaurant originally planned to stop serving brunch for the summer, but ended up being closed for dinner unexpectedly. The lack of communication left one patron disappointed, leading them to enjoy a lovely dinner at LA Chapter instead. Despite this hiccup, a first-time reviewer praised the delicious food, good beer selection, and affordable prices. However, another customer was frustrated by the poor customer service and failure to honor a reservation for outdoor seating, particularly since they were traveling with pets. Another pair of diners had mixed feelings about the Fish Chips, with one enjoying them while the other found them dry and unappealing. The issue of table size for a large group was a concern for another customer, although the service was praised once the seating was sorted out. A positive experience was highlighted by another diner who enjoyed the great food, creative cocktails, and exceptional gluten-free pizza. The cleanliness of dishes became a point of contention during one visit, causing some discomfort for the diners despite the excellent food and service. A group reservation faced challenges due to a small table, although the accommodating waiter and eventual waitress helped salvage the evening. Despite some food texture issues with the fish and chips, the service was prompt and the beer selection was top-notch.
