16 Best Wine Bars in Costa Mesa

“Popped in with my wife for a drink before dinner and I wished we could have stayed longer. We grabbed a seat at the bar and both got the bartenders choice flight, which comes with (3) 2ounce glasses. Edwin picked some solid choices that we both loved. He was also saying they have trivia nights on Thursdays. All in all a solid place to go hang out with a date or even a group of people. Edwin you’ve done an amazing job with the place. Keep up the great work. Thanks for a great evening. Will Definitely be back.“

“I literally stumbled in to WIP or waiting for some service on my car. I feel fortunate to have found this perfect spot. Obviously more than a coffee joint - it’s smart, stylish and engagingly current. Populated by an intriguing, vibrant and smart crowd.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If I could give more stars, I would! This place is everything — inclusive, welcoming, and filled with nothing but top-tier vibes. The service is absolutely top notch — every detail is handled with care and heart. Whether you’re attending a cozy gathering or a full-blown celebration, the energy here is immaculate. Truly the best events in town. A gem for the community and a must-experience for anyone who loves intentional, magical spaces. ✨“

“We had an awesome time there. The bartender was great! She really made us feel at home.“

“Pre dinner drinks at the bar were excellent. My wife enjoyed the warm up drinks. Front hosts were very friendly and ensured that our table was ready. Dinner was very good. My wife ordered the pork plate and i ordered the crunchy tuna salad. Our waitress was also attentive.“

“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!“

“Exelent servís the food is exelent“

“This is my favorite restaurant! I loved it back when it was on Bristol, but I have been back to the new Red Hill location twice now and it is even more of a special dining experience. Massimo has come out to explain the history of the wine and food and the sources of his ingredients. He tells wonderful stories with a great sense of humor, and his daughter who helps serve is also very knowledgeable and delightful. I feel transported and hosted in a way I have never experienced in a restaurant. The food is amazing. The fresh handmade pasta melts in your mouth. We have eaten every dessert and they are all spectacular. Every wine and appetizer we have tried has been extraordinary. I couldn't recommend this place more.“

“This was a wonderful find. The menu and food are simple ingredients but they did a great job with flavor, texture, and temperature. All the dishes we ordered were delicious.

The service was great as well. They treated us like guests at their house.“

“It's one of the few restaurants I like“

“Hit the mark, prices ok, 24/7 Willy Wonka on TV👍“

“Came on a busy day with a reservation. It was busy and a bit slow. But what made up for it was the waitress's great customer service. Even if it may have been stressful for her due to short staff, she was very kind and expressed everything we needed to know. On top of that, the food was excellent. I was so excited to see all the variety of food. Food was pleasant. We sat outside, so it was nice.“

“We always eat here before the theatre. Food is great, service is great, and very convenient. I like dining and then walking over to the theatre.“

“Absolutely Awesome!! This location has a great atmosphere and the employees are very attentive and friendly. The food came out fast, hot and fresh!! AND they are open 7 days per week !!! EVERYDAY!!“

“What a GEM of a restaurant located in a small strip center. Also includes an Italian market with fantastic prepared Italian meals ready to heat and eat. Our server could not have been more accommodating and attentive. Food was delicious and generous portions. Would highly recommend for families or date night.“

“☕️Environment: Full marks.White courtyard, green shade and blue sky, small fountain square. Even in midsummer, there is a gentle breeze blowing through, and with good wine, coffee, and chef broad, it is indeed very suitable for a small gathering and chat.“
