Located within the luxurious confines of The Westin Anaheim, Tangerine Room stands as an upscale culinary gem amidst Anaheim’s somewhat sparse fine dining landscape. Whether you live in the area, are in town for a conference or looking for a more elevated option during a Disneyland family vacation, Tangerine Room is certainly one of Anaheim’s premier fine dining restaurants.
The ambiance at Tangerine Room exudes sophistication, and the décor is characterized by a harmonious blend of muted tones and vibrant accents. The modern atmosphere showcases understated elegance, with high ceilings and ample glass contrasting with the warm ambient lighting that gives the restaurant its name. It feels far more like a hip, modern destination eatery than your typical “hotel lobby restaurant,” and the ambiance sets the tone for a relaxed yet refined dining experience, making it an ideal setting for intimate dinners, celebrations or business meetings.
The menu is a tight, focused selection of accessible dishes that showcase a display of quintessentially California influences while highlighting freshly locally sourced ingredients. Appetizers include a host of fresh salads as well as Pacific diver scallops with cauliflower, aged garlic and pickled shimeji mushroom; Hawaiian tiger prawns with tangerine citronette, chile oil and avocado; and a butternut squash agnolotti with beurre noisette, hazelnut pesto and sage.
Mains (or “Compositions” as they are termed on the menu) include a Hudson Valley duck trio with spiced breast, chartreuse of confit leg, parsnip puree and cherry pistachio relish; Pacific striped bass with beluga lentils, pomegranate and cabernet beurre rouge; and housemade lamb tagliatelle. Steaks are a primary focus, and Tangerine Room offers several signature cuts including a New York striploin, ribeye and wagyu flatiron. As for sides, mac and cheese with five-cheese fondue, brioche and parmesan is a definite must-try.
There is a fine selection of well-prepared signature cocktails while the wine list showcases a deep appreciation for the region’s vineyards, featuring a selection of acclaimed Californian wines that highlight the state’s diverse terroir. From the buttery Chardonnays of Napa Valley to the bold Cabernet Sauvignons from Paso Robles, the list provides a journey through the rich tapestry of Californian winemaking. (The glass-enclosed floor-to-ceiling wine display also adds an impressive modern touch.)
Tangerine Room is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers an elegant private dining experience for corporate events and special occasions. This Westin Anaheim Resort restaurant’s sophisticated ambiance, impeccable service and delightful menu full of high-quality, locally sourced ingredients make it a true standout dining destination in Anaheim.
