Chixy Natural

Bbq • Salad • Lunch • American

"Absolutely outstanding! I got a steak and rice bowl and added chicken to it with teriyaki and sesame sauces. All of the food was really tasty and the portions were big but the steak was really stand out phenomenal! It's juicy and flavorful and very tender. The owner seemed to know everyone that came in by name which was really nice, she was super friendly. Everyone working was very friendly. I imagine this place has a lot of regulars, it's really good and there are options if you're looking to save some money but feed the whole family good, clean, wholesome food but they also have some really indulgent options as well. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone that's hungry."

Mastro's Steakhouse Costa Mesa

➤ 633 Anton BlvdCA 92626, Costa Mesa, United States

Wine • Steak • Seafood • Ribeye Steak

"IT WAS A VERY GREAT EVENING FROM THE FOOD TO THE SERVICE . OUR SERVER MET EVERY TASK WE ASKED TO A TEE . WE WERE ALSO SURPRISED THAT WE GOT AN ANNIVERSARY CHEESECAKE AT THE END BUT IT WAS SO HARD TO FINISH BECAUSE WE WERE SO FULL WITH OUR ENTREES. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING AGAIN ."

Pasta Connection

➤ 1902 Harbor BlvdCA 926275543, Costa Mesa, United States

Pizza • Pasta • Italian • Breakfast

"This charming little restaurant offers a burst of flavor in a relaxed setting. I visited for dinner on a Wednesday evening; although there were several occupied tables, I was seated right away. I ordered the Bife de Chorizo (NY steak), which was cooked to perfection—well-seasoned and incredibly tender. The fettuccine Alfredo was some of the best pasta I've ever tasted, featuring fresh homemade noodles and a wonderfully creamy buttery sauce. The empanadas were tasty, and the chimichurri sauce was quite good. However, I was a bit let down by the dinner salad; it was just a basic mix of lettuce with a few grape tomatoes. While the creamy Italian dressing was spot on, I would have appreciated a wider variety of vegetables and some hand-torn greens. The food presentation felt a bit outdated. Nonetheless, with delicious steak and pasta, plus friendly service, I would definitely consider making this place a regular haunt."

Leatherby's Cafe Rouge

➤ 615 Town Center DriveCA 92626, Costa Mesa, United States

Full • Wine • Seafood • Bar-lounge

"Leatherby's is the perfect place for a special occasion or before attending an event at the Segerstrom Center or South Coast Repertory. Our server was exceptional and went out of his way to make sure everything was exactly to our liking without hovering. The food is wonderful but I wish the starters were a little less expensive or that they had a small plates menu so we could try more items or come more often, but with their location, they can charge what they want, although there were very few diners there on Friday night and I think it can only be due to the prices as the service and chef creations are fabulous"

Wafu Of Japan

➤ 320 Bristol StSte G, 92626, Costa Mesa, United States

Fish • Sushi • Salad • Seafood

"Incredibly fresh fish with generous portions. The classic roles are perfect but even better than those are there unique roles. They balance the flavors really well while also have a nice texture, which is hard to do with sushi! Highly recommend for date night. Also, service was very incredibly good and really fast!!"

Seasons 52

➤ 3333 Bristol Street, Suite 2802 Costa Mesa, CA 92626, 92626-1810, United States

"Seasons 52 is one of our top favorite restaurants. We enjoyed their seasonal menu, Butternut Squash Soup and Butter Fish which were delicious. They always cook fish perfectly. Our server, Hamilton, provided excellent service."

Acapulco Mexican And Cantina

➤ 1262 Bristol St Costa Mesa, CA 92626, 92626-7937, United States

Bars • Wine • Meat • Mexican

"My friends and I decided to try the All You Can Eat breakfast brunch. It was fresh, delicious, plentiful. The pozole was my all time favorite. I did not try the menudo, however, it looked delicious. There were corn tortillas being made fresh in front of us. Breakfast items which also included omelettes to order. Special for the young and old alike including chicken tenders, mini corn dogs and cold cereal selection. There was a fajitas bar, made to order. I didn’t even make it this far. It looked delicious. Chicken tamales, huevos rancheros were delicious. There are too many things to mention, but it was all fresh and delicious. The dessert bar was also so yummy. The bottomless mimosas were included with the single price of $36.00. They also sent out an amazing stack of pancakes, that everyone raved about. Now for the staff. They were all so welcoming and attentive. I cannot wait to come back. Definitely worth the drive from Lake Forest."

Fishbonz Seafood Grill

➤ 350 E 17th St, Costa Mesa I-92627-3231, United States

Fish • Cafés • Lunch • Salad

"Wow! The portion sizes are generous, and you can see the great orders from other customers too. The customer service is outstanding from the moment you walk in. The staff is very helpful in assisting you with the menu and patiently answering any questions you may have. I would definitely return just for the Fish and Chips. Yes, please! The portion is large and served slightly divided. Instead of chips, we opted for rice and coleslaw, and I would absolutely reorder both sides. The rice was just enough to complement their delicious dishes. Don’t miss out on the clam chowder; I can see why it comes highly recommended. It has a fresh taste with bits of potato and mussels. The only downside was that the clam chowder wasn't as hot as we expected. Overall, it was a great choice! Are you planning a visit?"

Vitaly Caffe

➤ 2937 Bristol StSte B103 B100, 92626, Costa Mesa, United States

Soup • Italian • Healthy • Emilian

"We were in the area visiting a friends new place and made reservations here for brunch. It was last minute so this was one of the only places available around normal brunch hours we didn't want to wait in line. Overall I had a decent experience here, but I want to leave a review for those who might find themselves in a pinch like myself and hopefully get your expectations set for what this place is truly like. I did like this spot don't get me wrong. Their waffles are amazing and did I mention they have a gelato stand in shop? But one thing you should note is this is not a normal restaurant, it has a dining area but it also has a walk up and order area as well. If you don't make reservations you can sit wherever you like. The table we were at was next to the gelato so every time someone came in for gelato they were right next to our table. This place would be great for a quick bite to eat with a friend since it's next to cute boutiques and other cool stores."

Hamamori Restaurant And Sushi Bar

➤ 3333 Bear Street, Suite 320CA 92626, Costa Mesa, United States

Fish • Soup • Meat • Sushi

"they skip this place. eating was not fresh and I came on Sunday. Usually Sushi places close on Sunday due to no fresh fish deliveries on Sundays. nothing was on the spot and the best was the ice that came with the VIP sushi set. I am surprised that this place is still in place, will never be again. go on the other side to anqi. located in a lot of restaurants on the south coast and this restaurant never disappointed."

Descanso Plancha Dining

➤ 1555 Adams AveSuite 103, Costa Mesa, United States

Vegan • Mexican • Bar-lounge • Steak Quesadillas

"Overall a great experience, the food was delicious, the mimosas were great and the value was perfect for what you get. Would recommend it, but probably don’t come too hungry cus you’ll spend a lot of time waiting. The negative for us was service, it was incredibly slow! We got seated at our table at 1:00 and even though they immediately took our drink orders (which was mimosas and water) we didn’t get served a glass of water for over 30 minutes. We were just sitting for over half an hour waiting for water. And we didn’t get served our appetizers until almost 50 minutes after we sat-down. Finally by around 2:00 the chef finally came to start cooking. The chef was great, very friendly and entertaining. The cooking experience was great and the food was incredibly delicious. Was just disappointed at how slow the service was, even getting refills took forever. We constantly had empty cups of water waiting 15-20 minutes just to get refill of water or another mimosa. So just be prepared for lots of waiting, from being seated at 1:00 did not get my actual food until around 2:20. While the cooking portion didn’t take too long and was entertaining there was a lot of sitting and waiting in between which was disappointing."

Avila's El Ranchito

➤ 2101 Placentia Avenue, Costa Mesa, 92627, United States Of America

Buffet • Mexican • American • Japanese

"So, we went to Avila's for dinner, and I have to say, as someone who has recently graduated from culinary school, I absolutely adore their Chili Verde! They use the perfect cut of meat, and the flavor of both the meat and the sauce is simply bursting with taste. There's truly no other place quite like it, and I must commend the chef at Avila's! The staff is fantastic as well—friendly and cheerful. I can't forget to mention that the beans, rice, and tortillas are delicious! The presentation and textures are excellent. I genuinely can't find anything negative to say about this place; it’s a fun atmosphere, and the service was outstanding once again. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. I’m genuinely sad to be heading back to Seattle because, on a scale of 1 to 10—where 1 is terrible and 10 is excellent—the Mexican food there rates only about a 4 or 5. "

Plums Cafe

➤ 369 East 17th Street, Costa Mesa, 92627, United States Of America, 92627-3292

Cafés • American • Californian • Breakfast-brunch

"It was nice in the beginning.. but didn’t get my hot chocolate till I finished my food, she brought it out and I just stared at it because like what the heck, I’m done.. and I wasn’t gonna ask to take it out of the bill but she took FOREVER to bring us our check so I was like no now I’m gonna bring it up. My man stayed and waited while I went to the stores nearby and I came back he was annoyingly waiting there still and I had to ask another server about our check then she dropped it off and said someone else will take care of us and that guy came and I explained about the hot chocolate situation and the Laura girl(server) comes and I told her and she looks at my hot chocolate like if I drank it( which I did not the whip cream was still intact) and says “ let me ask my manager” we were so close on walking out because of how ridiculously long we were waiting but I felt bad because someone just walked out on her. Yeah the food was alright but the service was very upsetting and will not be returning here again."

Greenleaf

➤ 234 E 17th St, Costa Mesa, California, USA, 92627, United States

Cafés • Pizza • Salad • Gourmet

"The dressings and the paleo chicken fingers are good. Although the chicken was super dry. My friend enjoyed the Greek salad. I made a build your own with 3 ingredients totally and barely got any of them so it was mostly just lettuce and balsamic vinaigrette for $20… nothing was necessarily terrible but I just felt like I could build a better salad at home and not spend the crazy amount of money they charge. I would try it again in person instead of DoorDash maybe? Either way for the price they just should be doing more to make their salads full and their chicken not so dry and bland."

Catalina Fish Kitchen

➤ 670 W 17th St, 92627, Costa Mesa, United States

Fish • Seafood • American • North American

"We really enjoyed this restaurant. My son loved his meal which they happily accommodated his request since he's a picky eater. He enjoyed his quesadillas, one cheese and one chicken and cheese. He couldn't finish them all because they were large. My husband and I wanted to try a variety of tacos so we ordered the Smoked Pecan Ono, the Mahi Mahi, and the tiger shrimp tacos, all were fantastic. Our favorite was hands downs the Ono, the pecan smoked flavor was so good. The staff were very friendly and they had parking which is a huge plus once you've paid for parking all day. Great place to eat and a large selection to choose from. You will find something for everyone."

Le Chateau Garden Bistro Ayres And Suites

➤ 325 Bristol St, Costa Mesa, United States

Sushi • French • Bistro • American

"Great restaurant. This place keeps its people long-term, and they are happy to serve you here. Miguel, Luis, Juan, and other members are always great waiters, always glad to serve with a smile and great attitude. Also, the cooks are the best, in my humble opinion. The atmosphere is very nice. You can dine inside or enjoy a lovely court yard with a water fountain in the middle. Don't forget happy hour 3:30pm to 6:30 pm everyday!:)Wheelchair accessibility: The location is on the first floor and wheel chair accessible."

Doria's Haus Of Pizza

➤ 1500 Adams Ave Ste 108, Costa Mesa, United States Of America, 92626

Pizza • Salad • Lunch • Italian

"Been dinning at Doria's for over thirty years and it is what it is, a low and reasonably priced family establishment. The food is good with good portions good menu selection. If you're looking for a five-star experience, you most likely will be disappointed but if you're looking for reasonably priced meal with friends or family Doria's is a good choice. Friday and Saturday are going to be busy so keep that in mind."

ARC Food & Libations

➤ 3321 Hyland Avenue Suite F Costa Mesa, CA 92626, 92626-1504, United States

Bars • Meat • Steak • American

"The ambiance is semi dark and the music is basey. The servers wear all black and the atmosphere is sorta like a dressed up vampire lair. We weren’t impressed the first time we came here, but now we knew what to expect. The steak and the salmon we Excellent. We will come back again."

Native Foods

➤ 2937 Bristol St Ste E100 Costa Mesa, CA 92626-7997, United States

Asian • American • Canadian • North American

"Visited: Thursday 10/23/08 (Dinner) This is what Alicks has to say, although we were there: Why didn't I know about such places when I lived in California? The “Camp” is known to be a number of shops (via the anti-mall), which is very environmentally friendly. This restaurant is covered by a white tent, right opposite a very cool vegan shoe shop. What was my Native Foods experience? Two words: Mad Cowboy. They were not a gluten-free restaurant in any way and it seems almost all the gluten in it. Since my stomach wasn't so great, I just ordered what sounded good for me. That was actually his favorite restaurant on the whole trip and that says a lot. I hope we get a chance to go back sometime."

Beach Pit Bbq

➤ 1676 Tustin Ave, 92627, Costa Mesa, United States

Bbq • Salad • Brunch • Barbecue

"I like this place. Staff is friendly and considerate and even though it is an order at the counter type of restaurant they still make a point of coming out to check on you to make sure that your food is all that you hoped it would be. I appreciate that. The food is good. The ribs are some of the best I've ever had. The focus in this restaurant is really the meat the barbecue sauces are not the big deal it's the meat. And the meat is very good. I also think the potato salad and baked beans are great the blueberry cornbread was good. I've also had the Stacked house I think it's called which is brisket and pulled-pork sandwich I enjoyed that very much. My husband loves the tacos. They are just a pile of good white meat chicken on a couple of tortillas but for him that's exactly what he loves. So if you want a good reliable BBQ experience this is the place. The only thing I would say is that they are sauces could use a little Improvement. They're not quite as full-flavored as I would like. But as I said the meat is the star this place that in the service!"
