“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 bought 3 small sandwiches and we were full. They fill those sandwiches perfectly, and they are so flavorful.

Not to mention the beach bites are perfect for an appetizer, or a meal which our son did and he loved the sauce. ( We got it hot, but you can order it cold)

Has a bar area with Tv screens perfect for game days!
Super family friendly, if I lived closer this would definitely be a once a week spot or more.

Vegetarian options: There is a few sandwiches that are vegetarian, but you could definitely substitute things in other sandwiches to be vegetarian friendly and Delicious.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options

Parking: It's in a plaza so but there is parking close by.

Kid-friendliness: Kida menu, the area is spacious. There were other families there at the time.“

“Consistent food and service, fairly priced. Staff is clearly well trained and will often greet you and ask if you need anything or if you are waiting on an order. My only complaint is they almost never include utensils for online orders (even when you check 'Include utensils', so I hope you have a spoon if you order soup.

Also, not sure if they are under contract with Mendicino's or what, but they have useless "valet parking" some days, which just makes the already small parking lot a bit of a zoo. The valet stand is literally at the parking spots, so it's actually less efficient when there is a valet there. Seems like this same valet company just scams local businesses or lot owners into taking over their parking lots or something, as it seems semi common in costa mesa/newport, and it's always the same valet company. It takes six seconds to pull into a parking spot and several minutes to valet, but they reserve half the parking lot for valet, so it becomes full, and you are forced to valet since those are usually the only open spots. It works in some parking lots, but definitely not this one which is already a narrow entryway that isn't really even two lanes wide and an already small parking lot.

Parking: Some days there is a valet claiming half the parking lot, making finding a spot difficult. There are 3 'limited time' parking spots right in front of the store next to the handicap spots.“
