About Summit House Restaurant
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Went here for a special occasion the other day. The restaurant is situated in a charming little hilltop. Navigating the parking lot isn't horrible, and while it is usually packed, you will eventually find parking. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and they keep the cottage theming very tasteful. There is a beautiful view of orange county from the main dining room. The food is delicious and is worth the price point. We had the ahi tuna to start with, and for our main courses we had the sea bass and the John Dory. Both were well made and very filling. They even provided a complimentary creamed corn side, which was much appreciated. For dessert we got the chocolate lovers torte, which is incredibly rich and I would recommend sharing it or accompanying it with coffee. I gave this place a four because I received a very dirty fork with dessert. I understand that accidents happen and the staff were quick to replace it, but at this price point I wouldn't expect things like that to happen. Still overall, great experience and great food, would still absolutely recommend for special occasions.
Summit House is our absolute favorite restaurant. We go often and are always welcomed with excellent service from the moment we are greeted at the curb from valet all the way through the dining experience. Eating at Summit House is always special… whether it is with local friends and family or out of state and out of the country friends and family, everyone feels so special and the dining experience they have at Summit House is always a highlight during their visit. We don’t wait for only special occasions to dine here. We laughingly call Summit House our country club:-) Often when we don’t feel like cooking our go to is this fabulous restaurant that consistently makes every meal a celebration. We LOVE having Summit House so close. We really miss Howard at the piano… We used to always make a special trip Into the bar to talk to him and thank him for his incredible piano playing! Also ate in the bar often when we decided to go too late to make a reservation. Tables in the bar are first come first serve with the same great food and service. Thank you Summit House! We love you!
Summit House is a fantastic OC staple that consistently delivers a great experience. It’s not quite perfect, but it’s definitely a solid 4.5-star spot. • The Food: The Prime Rib is the highlight. You get a Lawry’s-level quality without having to drive to Beverly Hills. It’s tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. • Hosting: Excellent wine selection and a scenic view make it a top choice for hosting guests or enjoying quality family time. • Service: Professional and attentive—exactly what you'd expect from a place like this. • Parking: They offer both valet and free parking Verdict: Great food and vibe. It’s a reliable go-to for special occasions in Fullerton.
Tender prime rib and lamb chops!!! Karen helped us out tonight and she was lovely!!!!!!! Thank you very much Karen! Scallops are a must & dip it with the fresh warm bread. Love how the prime rib comes with creamed corn and spinach - don’t have to pick between the 2! And it comes with a big dollop of horseradish yum! My second time here and will be definitely coming back for more!
Great food, great ambiance, and stellar customer service. They are known for the Roast Prime Ribs, but honestly… everything is great. I usually get the Summit House cut and it never disappoints. They serve it with cream of corn and it’s delicious. We tend to start dinner with a salad, followed by scallops as appetizers and then the main dishes. Customer service never lets down. The views are spectacular by the way. Try to sit by the windows for a spectacular view of the City.
