This movie theater is one of the best kept secrets of Orange County. The stadium seating is fantastic. Every other row has rocker seats. The other rows are love-seats with retractable arms. The projection equipment and sound systems are excellent. The complex has plenty of convenient parking. While waiting for the movie to start, you'll find many sets of tables and chairs in the lobby as well as lots of bench seating out front.

There are 3 good resaturants in the Stadium Promenade complex: a Chilli's, an Acapulco, and an upscale seafood place.

If you like a doughy, thick-crust pizza, you have got try try this one! This Villa Park location, one block north of Katella and Wanda, is the original shop of what is now a 7-shop franchise. It's mainly set up for delivery and pickup, but there are a few tables for dine-in (as opposed to the Anahiem Hills location, for example, which has plenty of dining room and patio seating).

Did somebody say "all you can eat?" They are located on the west side of Tustin Avenue at the split intersection of Taft Street. The current location is fairly new, but this mom-and-pop restaurant was previously in business for several years in another part of Orange (down at Tustin and Chapman).

Those in the know look behind the Taco Bell at Tustin and Walnut for this great hole-in-the-wall establishment hiding in the back between a liquor store and a laundrymat. My favorites are the enchiladas and the chimichungas.

Foscari Italian Cuisine
5645 E. La Palma
Anaheim Hills, CA 92807
(714) 779-1777

Just a nice, quiet, little Italian restaurant. If you like the Macaronni Grill, you'll like this place, too. Plenty of parking, even on a Friday and Saturday nights, but call ahead for reservations, just in case.
