I had heard that the Montage Resort was a nice place to go to enjoy the beach views and food. We visited the Mosaic Bar & Grille and yes the view was amazing but the food, service, and seating was not what I expected based on the prestige of the Montage and prices. It is not acceptable to say I'm paying for the view because I'm paying for more than that. The burger was good, but the lobster roll for the price could have been a little bigger. We had to ask for drink refills and it wasn't that busy. The seats cushions were wet and didn't realize it until after we ordered. It was cold and when we asked for a heat lamp they offered us an old dingy looking blanket. When someone came over I asked to be move to the table next to the heat lamp and instead they did bring a heat lamp over to our table so that was appreciated. When I think of Montage I think of luxury and with this experience I would question paying the price for a stay. A few suggestions for management because it starts from the top and setting a high standard. I would suggest warning the guest that the seats may be wet due to weather conditions, replace the old blankets with new ones, based on weather conditions have heat lamps at each table and have staff offer this option to the guest, speak with staff to observe drink replenishment and check in a little more.

I've been coming to the Mosaic since I was a child. This is a must-try spot if you're in OC. The view is breathtaking, the food is delicious, the service is always top-tier. Everything on the menu is great but I have an obsession with their seasoned french fries. At the very least, come visit for a cocktail and an appetizer while you enjoy the scenery.

We met some friends for lunch at one place, but decided to go to Mosiac Bar & Grille and it was beyond Fabulous with the views of the ocean. The food was Excellent and Very Delicious ?
Stunning view Live music Umbrella The food is a bit pricey but you don't only pay for the food here. The unbeatable scene worths very penny.

I liked the nachos and the calamari, and my daughter liked the ahi poke. And the live music was very nice.

First: I don’t like to leave negative reviews!!! But:We ordered:- guacamole ? and Chips; we did not order but got a small cup of salsa We thought it’s part of the meal. . At the end the waiter Al. G. charged $6!!!- We ordered:Lobster Quesadilla: obviously it had more, lot more cheese than lobster! $36! It supposed to come with OUR CHOICE of: fries, sweet potato fries or fruits. The waiter did Not ask what we want. He brought out Fries!!! I am on the pretty healthy side so it didn’t really work for me.- Third order was:A Fish sandwich. Also came with Fries!!!I got cup of water. Asked for a Straw. Got it in seconds but: the waiter brought it out in his hand. Meaning: he held it in the middle and I supposed to put it into my water!!!! I don’t know what he touched before!!!! Germs, bacteria….We said nothing.On top of these: we have not finished our lunch yet and he brought out the Check! I asked my son whether he asked for it: he said NO!!!The waiter also didn’t ask if we want any coffee or dessert!Anyway, I was so excited about trying this restaurant out. Now I am very disappointed! I was pissed for 2 reasons: #1: the Service, #2: my son tipped him accordingly!!!!!!Although I love Montage!!! Especially the espresso from the Bar from the Check-In area!!!!

Alec G. was the best server ever!!! I mean he really looked after me and took care of me the entire time I was there. This place is somewhere you want to bring someone that you want to impress. The Lobster Nachos are something to remember, just delicious!!! The drinks were great!!! The views and ambiance are absolutely top tier!!! What an experience! The best part is that after your done, you can literally “walk it off” on the beach. The establishment is literally sitting a one minute walk from the sand.
The restaurant only allows customers to walk in until 6.15pm. No where is this mentioned.Utter disappointment.

The view is spectacular, the service is great, but the food was a disappointment. Sweet potato fries were cold and the salmon was dry.
We always come here for my daughters birthday since she was 5 years old. Staff and servers always friendly and when it's cold out they always bring my dau a blanket. Today we celebrated her 11th birthday and I want to thank all the staff at Montage hotel for all the memorable birthday dinners I have here for my daughter. As a single father I try to do my best but Montage never lets me down. Always a beautiful view of the i ocean while dining and the food is amazing . Thank you
We went as a special occasion date night and dinner. The view was ok but not great even though the restaurant is so close to the ocean The hostess was good but our server was friendly but very inattentive. We had to get up and ask for drink refills and to get our dinner order taken. The food was good but certainly not worth the price which would be understandable if you had an exceptional view but the view is mainly obstructed.

Beyond disappointing… the service is incredibly slow. The day we were there was cold so we ordered coffee and tea to warm ourselves before the main course and they brought us burnt (literally carbon) burgers WITH coffee and tea after 1.5 hours. We were starving so we couldn’t ask to replace the burgers and wait for another hour but WHO in their right mind drink coffee and tea with burgers and fries?!!!! Overall, bad service, attitude-y servers and horrible meal quality.
