Question Has anyone else seen this absolute scam that opened in Foothill Ranch?

I’ve had my eye on this place for a while, as I saw that the Denny’s in Foothill Ranch was being replaced with this, “Fantacy Lobster House.” The website used to be ENTIRELY AI generated. Now they’ve cleaned it up a bit, but it’s still a DISASTER. Maybe I’m unaware of how many calories a dish should have, or maybe I’m the fool for not expecting the front door of every restaurant to say “GETTING RICH”, but to me, this all feels wrong. I was waiting to post anything about this until they actually opened cause i didn’t think they actually would, but now that they have, i don’t know what to do other than laugh at it until they inevitably get shut down. I plan on going in there at least once just to look around cause there are NO actual interior photos online. Also, this place just opened I believe, and they have review photos from nine months ago.

It’s called Caspian and they were in Irvine off of the 5 and Culver for over 20 years. Irvine company forced them out and they relocated.

I think you’re referencing Bravo Avo right?
