National Cheeseburger Day - Come grab a giant juicy cheeseburger for National Cheeseburger Day Sept 18th!
Call to InquireBuilt on a couple beers and a dream, this independent restaurant began in 2013 with owner Tony Monaco and Chef Karl Pfleider. Our American Restaurant in Rancho Santa Margarita grew into a neighborhood gathering place while keeping its independent spirit intact.
Chef Karl draws partly on childhood food memories shaped by his Filipino/Asian and Hispanic family background. Sisig, khao soi barramundi, and chicken curry show how those influences meet a progressive approach in the kitchen. Craft cocktails, rotating craft beer, wine, a patio overlooking the community lake, and Saturday live music round out a place that has welcomed loyal regulars for more than a decade.
Milestone moments, reunions, and festive get-togethers find an inviting backdrop beside the community lake. The outdoor patio brings the lakeside setting into the occasion, while the restaurant's separate character gives gatherings a distinctive sense of place. Plan ahead, bring your favorite people together, and make the occasion your own. Start planning your celebration today.

The Blind Pig is a great spot by the lake. The food was good—flavorful, and satisfying. What really stood out was the excellent service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place worth visiting if you're in the area.
We just came here for drinks but they have excellent cocktails. Happy hour provides some decent deals but after wetting my palate at the bar, I will definitely be back for food. Cheers!
I've never had a bad appetizer, entree, or drink here. Love the patio overlooking the lake and it's great for taking a digestive stroll around when you're done eating.
Great whiskey selection and always a fun menu to choose from. What a fun place to hang with friends and just enjoy the moment. Beautiful views of you're lucky enough to be outside too!
