Located in the luxurious Balboa Bay Resort, this chic establishment boasts a superb terrace with a breathtaking view of Lido Isle and, behind it, Balboa Peninsula. If you come here primarily for the setting, which you can enjoy with a good glass of wine, A+O serves fresh, refined cuisine. Burrata and tomato platter, salads, burger with brioche bun, club sandwich, pan-fried scallops, steak served with parmesan fries... The menu is as small as it is tempting. Please note that reservations are essential for outside dining.

High end hotel restaurant with both indoor and patio seating. Lots of glam and energy. It's very noisy and loud, and one can barely hear conversations at times. When live music is playing, it's even worse. The food is solidly good and tasty, not original or memorable. The service is friendly but not attentive -- water glasses can go unfilled. Valet parking is miserably slow -- you may easily wait 20 minutes for your car. Very expensive. Few vegetarian options. Go here for festive people watching and a high energy meal, not for an important conversation or distinctive food.
Our waitress was fun and friendly. The crab cakes tasted flavorful and was paired with a delicious sauce. I decided to try the AO burger with their veggie patty and it was SO GOOD! The caramelized onions and 1000 island sauce on it was amazing! What stood out to me was the brioche bun that was cooked to perfection and tasted wonderful. My mom ordered the Cesar salad with salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly and so were the homemade croutons.
The views here while dining are great. There is complimentary parking at the resort for the restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves, the food, service, and the views.
This place has been added to the brunch rotation for sure!
