Comment by OCfoodies on February 15, 2011 at 12:30pm: Your right and they could vote for their favorite food truck. The Golden Foodies Award is for all things delicious =)

Comment by Michelle Aguilar on February 23, 2011 at 4:55pm: I voted original mikes... Went there last weekend and the food and service was outstanding!!!!

Comment by Amber Hart on February 23, 2011 at 5:01pm: Without a doubt, Roy's Hawaiian Fusion is my favorite restaurant. Its one of those places you want to order everything off the menu because it all sounds so delicious! Each time I go I try something new and I've never been disappointed. When you order a drink from the bar menu with the first sip you're swept away to an exotic island vacation. You can tell that all the flavors in each dish were thoughtfully picked and combined to present a masterpiece of a meal. Beyond all else, the dessert is simply fantastic. Even after a complete meal, one can't pass up the opportunity to try heaven on earth, which is ANY of the desserts on the menu! Overall, the whole dining experience is spectacular at Roy's. Nothing compares to all they have to offer.

I will say openly then, that I nomiated Shan Shi Go in newport beach, so far the best dining experiences Ive had in the OC , every time I go. (I have to admit as well , Roy's was my #2 -- killer food and GREAT Happy Hour)

Comment by Yuko Tilton on February 23, 2011 at 5:23pm: McCormick and Schmicks in Santa Ana.

They know how to cook seafood.

I love their truffle Butter french fries, roasted beets salada and fried calamari.

Their Dessert items are not too sweet and refreshing.

Make sure to go to their Happy hour....amazing.

Also Roy's happy hour is good too.

Comment by Tina Vong on February 23, 2011 at 5:30pm: Nirvanna Grille

I love their molten cake!

Comment by Felicia LeWinter on February 23, 2011 at 5:56pm: Thai Juan On in San Juan Capistrano

Quality ingredients, delicious dishes, gorgeous presentation, fun wine-tasting and tequila-tasting events with incredible menus to go with, friendly, outgoing service, family-run restaurant - what else could you want in a restaurant? I crave Doug's Favorite Soup everytime it's cold & rainy outside - it's sooo good! And the American Fried Rice dish is like nothing you've ever seen before - beautiful and delicious.

Thanks everyone, we are excited to see the final list.

Comment by Shelly Borrell on February 23, 2011 at 7:12pm: It's always hard for me to pick or nominate one, since there are so many great ones. I'll nominate La Cave, as it's nearby and the food and drinks are consistently good. I especially LOVE the atmosphere... dark, romantic, edgy, sexy, cool, and underground -- Plus bands and dancing on occasion, which I've yet to experience. I've got to get back there with a mini flashlight to clearly see my food. The Prime Rib was excellent last time. I don't love the twice baked potato like many others do, but that's okay -- I opt for the loaded baked instead. Oh, I love the bread too.

Comment by Shelly Borrell on February 23, 2011 at 7:49pm: So now I'll nominate La Cave in the proper place -- I see the link :)

Comment by Tyrrell Dupey on February 23, 2011 at 8:47pm: I nominated La Vie En Rose in Brea - amazing food, terrific wine list, great atmosphere, excellent service.

Comment by Morgan McLaughlin on February 24, 2011 at 12:03am: Nominate Mexi Casa in Anaheim for having amazing food AND incredible prices.

Comment by Katie Irvine on February 24, 2011 at 10:55am: This is a tough one since there are so many great restaurants in the OC. I have to nominate ECCO in Costa Mesa because their Butterscotch Budino is AMAZING! If you have never tried this dessert you are missing out. Try it. I'm serious.

Comment by Patti Helzer on February 24, 2011 at 11:33am: I nominate Fresca's in Anaheim. I love their salsa and their low cal California Burrito! Fresh ice tea too!

Comment by Maya Zorehkey on February 24, 2011 at 12:04pm: I love Nirvana in Laguna Beach as well as the one in Mission Viejo. Every dish I have ever had is wonderful.

Comment by Sarah Olin on February 24, 2011 at 12:54pm: Cucina Alessa--yummy Italian food! Locations in Newport, Huntington, and Laguna.

Comment by Cami on February 24, 2011 at 4:23pm: I adore Koto Sushi in Foothill Ranch. It's the perfect place for a quick lunch with coworkers or a great spot to get together with friends after work.
