Oceans 33: 799 The Shops @Mission Viejo, Mission Viejo, CA  92591                 949.965.0200
Claims is to be a "Seafood Bar & Grill"   Although I found a very limited seafood selection
                                         $$
Excellent slightly upscale atmosphere.  Nice date Restaurant.  Valet parking  & Full Bar
This again is one of the FEW restaurants that the chef seems to know his stuff in regard
to balance  of  tastes, texture and presentation.  All which I found in every dish tried here.
My reccomendations are the Halibut, Seafood Cannellonis, Pasta Bordelaise
If you get a chance check this place out
