Went on a Thursday night after the original place I wanted to dine at was closed and boy was I not disappointed!! Per the waiter’s recommendation, I ordered the bells cocktail and grain bowl. And i’m so glad I listened to their recommendations! The cocktail was unique and not overly sweet; perfectly balanced. The grains bowl was beautifully presented and the flavor was divine! The overall freshness and portion of each component was perfect. I go out to eat to enjoy meals that I wouldn’t or can’t make myself, and this was truly something I could not make any better in my own kitchen. I was skeptical of the quinoa at first because when I make it the flavor profile is soso, but here they really seasoned it well and it carried the delicious veggies it was topped with. I’m grateful for such a flavorful plant based / vegan dish at a reasonable price for the portion. The service was also awesome. I asked for something to add some spice to the meal and was presented with not 1, not 2, but 3 options! The Serranos and chili sauce were the perfect additions to an already flavorful dish. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family, and will be back the next time i’m in Costa Mesa. Thank you for making quality drinks and even better food! Also bonus points that I was able to bring my puppy with me to dine on the patio!

This place is absolutely stunning. It’s bright, crisp and beautiful. The food was outstanding. I got the eggs Benedict. You can’t go wrong with their mimosa specials. Impeccable service. Will be coming back again!

First time here and I will definitely go back. We had reservations and had no wait time, we were seated right away. Drinks are a little pricey but they were good. Food was delicious and service was outstanding. I shared the Chicken Tinga Empanadas, steak lettuce wraps and Bone Marrow. The bone marrow is something I would never try but I did and it was so good and the lettuce wraps were so good they didn't even make it to the picture. Music and atmosphere was also good. I highly recommend it to celebrate a special occasion or just a night out.

This was a rare find and it turned out to be so good. We were in the neighborhood and thought of giving it a try based on the great reviews and boy it didn't disappoint us. I would highly recommend. It gets crowded so think about reserving for bigger groups. First, let's start with the interior design and decor - fantastic. I loved the decor, the lights and the great woodwork inside. The seating arrangement is good as they have space to accommodate big groups as well as couples. There are restrooms for men and women but can usually get crowded and you might have to wait because they are single person restrooms. Now let's move on to the food. The food was so amazing I couldn't stop thinking about it. Best part I would say were the fresh ingredients. You can taste and tell that the ingredients were freshly made and used instead of being frozen and thawed before cooking. I appreciate that they did that. The bacon was so crispy and the chicken was fresh. We tried the social Benedict and the chicken sandwich and both were good - I will recommend. We tried the coffee from the coffee bar and I would say we have had better. The espresso was a little too harsh for my liking but in no way the coffee was bad. We tried a latte and a cappuccino and I would not highly recommend it. The parking in the complex is plenty but I can see it being crowded in peak hours, definitely plan accordingly.

Fantastic and attentive service at the bar. The chiliquiles and steak and eggs flavors were on point and served at the perfect temp. Ordered a Kiwi Herman and a Manhattan, which were also far above standard. Thanks for a wonderful brunch!

What a fantastic experience. Their cocktails are fresh and creative, and their food is phenomenal. We went here for my boyfriend's birthday and the service was great. The waitress recommended we share everything which worked out wonderfully. Who would have though half a pig head could taste so good! Highly recommend! This place doesn't just serve dinner--they also provide an unforgettable time.

4 stars food 4 stars for atmosphere. 5 stars for service and especially to our server, Gabriel! This review is a few weeks past due, but I'm here now! It was our first time here and we made reservations for brunch. We came for the bottomless mimosas and he did not disappoint. We came for an early birthday celebration for my wife, party of 5 and we had a blast. We will definitely be back and will recommend to our friends and family.

We tried the Blistered shishito peppers that were very good but the portion was too much for two people. We also shred the Green Goddess salad with hanger steak that was excellent and the fried fish tacos were also very good. My Moscow Mule cocktail was decent. We will definitely go back again for dinner and will also try out their brunch.

Great place to go and meet friends for a fun drink and some good food. There was live music playing when I was there and the DJ setting up for later at night. I’ve been there for brunch on the weekends and the food was delicious. Tonight I had a salad and steak tacos and was very satisfied. my waiter was also very nice.

First time, not the last. Drinks were fantastic. Service with Margaret even better. She took her time going over menu and her recommendations. Ordered brussel sprouts and they were amazing. Shrimp and grits were just ok. Def not a fan. Husbands pork chops he said were out of this world. Perfectly cooked. Suggest you make reservations. We did and were seated right away. As night went on it got louder and louder. We don't care to yell to each other to have conversation. Next time we might just sit at bar. We will definitely be back. Excited to hear they will be opening one in Sunset Beach fairly soon.

So we walked in, not busy on a Friday night, hostess was not friendly, we had to ask if we could sit, waiter came. Would you like a drink, sure, 15 minutes later he brought my friends drink, 10 minutes later I had to ask twice, hey is the vodka soda ready? 5 minutes later he brought it, whole time im watching the bartender, who was not busy talking to two guys non stop! Then we ask, do you have a happy hour menu, oh yeah let me go get it, so we go to order the Burger on the happy hour menu, its the same name and discription as one on regular menu, but 5 bucks cheaper, normal right for a happy hour? He said oh no it only has one patty vs 5 bucks more you get the second patty, you think you'd change the name or make sure thats known. Ok, so we get our food, its OK, I'll give you that was the ok. Then he offers us a desert menu, I see bread pudding, now mind you bread pudding is warm, has whipped cream and is a normal pie size pcs, he brings out this small sq, stone cold, it was horrible, he never asks once, or checks if we are happy etc... except, hey want another drink, I bit, 20 minutes later lol so bottomline I dont recommend.

Big disappointment ☹️ Maybe try dinner time? Brunch didn’t have much options to choose from and their avocado toast had weird smell, maybe from feta cheese and rotten arugula. The presentation looks better than how it tastes. The Chilaquiles was better but kind of greasy. The pork in chilaquiles was the best part of everything. I love their cocktail though. The taste is there and unique. I tried their Shiso Boozee. Very little vodka in cocktail though. If you wanna try, come for dinner time.

Good cozy atmosphere serving solid cocktails with friendly staff who provides honest feedback on menu items, which is always appreciated as opposed to hearing "... everything on the menu is good". Brussel sprouts were delicious but warning they were on the sweeter side as the honey drizzle was generous. Steak tacos came out not hot so timing could be improved. Overall a good spot for drinks and new American food.
