“The best açaí I’ve ever had. And I’m from Brazil and know what a good and authentic açaí is! And the service at this place is outstanding! Our attendant Bryan was very kind and attentive with our order! Loved it! Thank you!“

“I ordered the fish & chips. To go. It was absolutely fantastic tasting and fresh. I’m most definitely going back and highly, and I mean highly? Recommend this. Place!“

“I wondered how I could eat well on vacation. Vibe was across the street from my rental and I was so happy to find it! Meal problem solved! I bought a couple of bowls and a wrap during my stay. I even got my mom and two sisters to visit with me. They found something to try, too! Wish you had a store in Utah, I'd try everything on the menu. I actually got to have ice-cream! Thank you Vibe, Dana Point.“

“We found Avila’s El Ranchito on-line and decided to give it a try. We had about 45 minute wait so we knew it must be good. A little mix up in the list to be seated. There was another “David party of 2” that arrived AFTER we did but they jumped at the chance to be seated before us. The staff was very friendly. The portions were large enough that we shared a meal and were plenty satisfied. The food was very delicious. The salsa was not what you would call mild so for those with sensitive palates be aware! The atmosphere was loud inside but relatively quiet outside. We would dine at this restaurant again.“

“Authentic, great service, fun staff!“

“Everything we had was so delicious. My 12 year old non vegan son loved it all too!“

“Great coffee and chai! My husband and I stopped in while visiting our kids in the area. Adorable place and some of the coffee we have had. He had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and I had an iced dirty chai. We loved them both. We will be back any time we are in town!“

“The Harp Inn is a gem. Great live music, super friendly staff (including the owner), and an all-around welcoming vibe. I’ve been going here for over 10 years and it never disappoints. The Irish food is excellent — highly recommend the Irish breakfast. They also have a great outdoor patio.“

“Went early in the morning for grand opening. Awesome staff and good vibes. Coffee was great too!!“

“Incredible Brazilian food. Everything we had was fantastic. My only gripe is it is a little pricey, but overall the food and service were top notch. Go on a Saturday or Sunday when they make Feijoada, a national specialty dish in Brazil. I am American and I went with my Brazilian wife and another Brasileira and they both complimented all the food and said it was very traditional and delicious 😋“

“I've now been to the Costa Mesa and Irvine locations. I loooove this spot. The shaved ice is perfect delicate sweetness and texture. Service is pretty quick, even when they're packed. Also tried the mochi waffle this time and wow wow wow. I'll be returning soon with my kids because I want them to be able to share on the epic deliciousness.“

“Take your baddie here! I’m serious. This place is awesome for a date. There’s boba, ramen, mochinuts, K-food…and did I mention BOBA??? If you want a chance at that second date, The Collage is the place to go. Don’t trust me? Ask Tiffany and Chelsea!“

“The food is very fresh, creative and fun! Lots of great drinks to choose from - either with or without alcohol! Cudos to Chef Zachary for his talented culinary achievement.“

“my sister forgot about me so I waited here. It's by her work. Really good spot to wait around for your sister who forgot about you. Here's a pic of me waiting for her in their outdoor seating. Coffee and food very good. Would come back even if I weren't waiting for my sister.“

“Have been a very satisfied regular @EatChow CM for several years. The menu varies seasonally, selections are plated attractively & are always delicious; love the fried green tomatoes😋. Eric & his crew are cordial with the right balance of attentiveness. Undoubtedly authentic, consistently never fails to please & a local, late night favorite🧘🏻‍♀️“

“It was a great time for me and my hubby. Great date night. Karen the owner, was very hospitable and so talented. She teaches and gave me techniques to ‘correct’ my paintings. I’m a sweet wine drinker so the moscato was so yummy! We will be back for sure to do another!“

“Birdie’s Açaí bowl is my absolute favorite, hands down. Unlike most other places that use premade sorbet, Birdie actually blends the berries. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend the peanut butter Açaí bowl; I get it almost every day.“

“They have real chilaquiles not the chips covered in sauce!! Very delicious!“

“Best oat milk chagachuga - thank you“

“Tremendous meal, first timers. Although they had a multi course Valentines menu that evening, we wanted to explore more of the menu. Three of us, one being my 83 year old mother-in-law, had 5 appetizers and salad, and three entrees. Hit it out of the park on everything. We had the charred cabbage, broiled marinated carrots, short rib chili(killer), beet and feta cheese salad, and house made olive oil bread and whipped butter. Every dish great attention to detail, delicious and varied saucing. We could have stopped there, but we continued on to the trout, hangar steak, and 12 oz pork chop. The sauce on that baby was tremendous, and I’m currently finishing the left overs in my hotel room for breakfast covered in that remarkable sauce. Service was spot on, timing was appropriately spaced out. Definitely put Verde on your map.“

“άψογο μαγαζί και άψογη εξυπηρέτηση“

“We all scream for ice cream 🍨 but we all scream Stella!!! An ice cream place called Stella Jean’s bring refreshing flavors like mango sticky rice. Home made ice cream full of flavor and the highest quality ingredients!“

“The cheeseburger was AMAZING!!!“

“We loved this place so much we already have made plans to go back. The food was delicious and portion size is great. Friendly crew, helpful and great service. You can also purchase frozen pies to take home which we will be doing“

“Costa Mesa/Newport Beach, CA 📍hands down 10/10, food and experience. We stopped in here after the wonderful owner, Kurt, invited us down to try his delicious sandwiches! And safe to say we made the right choice. These sandwiches are huge and loaded with fresh ingredients. This location has been here since 2013, however beach hut has been around since the 80’s. They even add cream cheese to some of their sandwiches! 😋 The staff was wonderful, including the owner Kurt. You are missing out if you don’t stop in to get a sandwhich, tell them coco sent you!“

“The staff are friendly and amazing. Just love going here to spend a relaxing afternoon.“

“Pricey but we ate deliciously.

Left in the picture: belly roll (amazing, soft fish that is so soft it melts in your mouth)

Right in the picture: Yummy Roll. (With a smokey touch, perfect combination of flavors)

I also recommend the crispy rice and the edamame.“

“Fun new spot near the airport in Irvine with tasty beer and a great vibe. Tucked back in an industrial area but with a great big outdoor patio with plenty of seating. Inside has a mix of tables couches and bar seating with a fun vibe. Hip music playing throughout. Incredibly friendly staff talk through the beers on tap to help make selections. Taster sized pours mean you can try all of them without feeling guilty. A few seltzers on tap I didn’t try but also a selection of IPAs, IIPAs and pilsners. Brewer has experience from Greek Cheek and excited to see what they have in store. Check it out for sure!“

“Service was amazing and food was great! I’m in a food coma with the sample Mimosas that put me into the coma“
