Description: For Centuries the English Inn has earned a great reputation for Friendly faces, cozy rooms and cheery firesides. As soon as guests come to the Inn, the charming host and hostesses run to greet them. In front of a crackling fire one can partake of good hearty fare - the tankard is always full - the spit hung with roasting beefs - and a table heaped with sweets and such. The Inn keepers of the Summit House were inspired by the custom to create a hospitable place where friends could meet to eat, drink and delight in the views of North Orange County's countryside. To one and all, welcome!

For all the hype had to try it for Father's Day. Food was good but not great. View is very good but restaurant is very noisy, difficult to talk at the table and hear everyone. A strong 3 star restaurant but not a 4.

We went to Summit House in December for a birthday dinner. The food was pretty good. I had the prime rib. It was cooked perfectly and had a nice au jus. My husband LOVED the horseradish butter on the meat. My husband ordered the lamb. It was cooked well but had no flavor. Summit House is a bit overpriced but... More

Before entering the restaurant, the views from this hill top let you know this place is different. Once you enter, that does not change. This is a beautiful place to celebrate something special, or if you just want to step it up a notch. The food and atmosphere was excellent. I had the prime rib... simply delicious. Prices were reasonable...... More

We took our granddaughter who was graduating from college and her parents to the Summit House. It was a wonderful experience. Great view, attentive and accommodating service, excellent food, beautiful decor. She was overwhelmed and so were we. We would recommend this restaurant highly. It was indeed a very special place for a very special event.

This is a special occasion type of place, but the food is superior to most restaurants featuring views and outside seating. The lamb shanks must come from the world's largest sheep! The salads have incredible fresh and tasty greens with well balanced dressings. The medley of dessert sorbets are excellent. The young women door greeters dressed in red velvet Frenchmaid... More

Great happy hour, piano bar sets a nice tone for a fun night. Good food, wonderful service, beautiful view. Defiantly date night worthy or a fun girls night in the bar. Everything we've ever ordered has been wonderful. Order the cream corn, the best ever.

This place has an outstanding location... Very nice atmosphere however, the are way overpriced. The will nickel and dime you to death. I have no problem spending money. I expect to drop a couple hundred at a nice restaurant but the food here isn't worth it. Even a coke is five bucks and they give u a little 8 ounce... More

Went for lunch on a Friday with a party of four. Total experience was wonderful from the reception to the wait staff to the buser. Two of us had the price fixe lunches, Osso bucco and prime rib. What a deal for the 3 course lunch at $25. The seafood chowder was flavorful and hearty, the house salad perfectly seasoned.... More

Everything here is excellent: the drinks, the wine selection, the menu, the view and the service. Dining here is like dining in the great noble houses of Europe. Every attention is paid to make you feel like an aristocrat patronizing the local manor house.
