My favorite place to eat at Fashion Island. I love the French Dip Sandwich. The bread is excellent and meat is juicy and tender. Great horse radish spread. The other sandwich are great too including the chicken sandwich. Downside - sandwich are a la carte so it doesn't come with a side. For a $25 sandwich, you'd think they would give you a side of French fries, but no. Not here!

Out of all the years we have lived in south Orange County we ended up at R+D Kitchen and had an absolutely AMAZING experience. Our server, Taylor, had a great personality and made us feel extremely welcomed from the start. Anthony, another server, was also amazing at checking in on us and making sure we were having the top-experience that this restaurant delivers. Food was delicious and our drinks were great. We were on a time-limit due to a movie but still wanted dessert, so we asked for a carrot cake to-go and enjoyed that in the moved - which DID NOT disappoint! Looking forward to our next visit there.

Popped in during late lunch Sunday afternoon around 2pm. Wanted a quick bite at the bar and we ordered some sides and a salad to share. Their classic margarita is refreshing and perfect to sip on. Loved the deviled eggs, easily could have had a second serving. We didn't realized the chicken meatballs came with polenta, so we didn't need to order a whole side of it, but it was great. The Newporter Salad was light, crisp and tasty. Our bartender was attentive, quick and nice, sitting at the bar is a good move if there is ever a wait. They have a good patio for seating if you plan on dining outside the bar. Will easily be back

Another great quick dinner at our fam favorite R&D in fashion island. We were seated outside promptly after arrival. The menu has slightly changed. We ordered the usual cheeseburger which is a fan favorite and the roast beef au jus. We also ordered for the first time the carnitas sandwich which was not a hit with our fam. It just doesn't have the same flavors as the chicken sandwich or the cheeseburger. I also got one of their daily specials which was the tuna salad sandwich which came of a toasted white sandwich bread. We all got the first and their coleslaw as sides. Tuna salad was a bit too much on the sweet side and didn't have a good crunch. The food tonight was 4 stars and the service from MicaelAnn was a 5 star. Will stick to the chicken sandwich next time. Prices seem to have stabilized after the big jump over the last couple of years. Cheeseburger is $21.
