“Highly recommend Wine Gallery for a great dinner spot. The patio area is so cute and we really enjoyed everything we ordered. We started with the short rib tacos and caprese house burrata - both were fantastic and you could really tell how fresh the heirloom tomatoes and basil were. The sausage pizza had great flavor and the perfect crust. We finished our meal with the pumpkin pie and vanilla ice cream - delicious!“

“Social in Costa Mesa has been a must-visit for us on every trip to SoCal since 2018, and it never disappoints. We were sad to see the Huntington location close, but the Costa Mesa spot still delivers an incredible experience. Gabriel took amazing care of us during our visit—his service was attentive and made the night extra special. The atmosphere was lively, and the food was fantastic as always. Social continues to be a highlight of our trips, and we can’t recommend it enough!“

“What could better on Balboa Island, than having a great grilled fish taco & Nitro Kicking Stout from San Diego's Knotty Brewing. One of the great local businesses on Balboa Island is Snipe Island Crafthouse. Delicious street tacos for $3 on tuesday & happy hour draft beer from 2:30 PM to 5:30. It's not always easy to find stout on tap on tap in OC, but they often have one stout on draft. They also serve grilled fish, Al Pastor & Carnitas tacos. I was overwhelmed by the fantastic aroma of the taco when the server put it on my table. The tacos are super fresh & scrumptious. Haven't tried their wood fired pizza, but I've heard good things.

Friendly staff, drinks were good and the music was upbeat! All great things I expected from this place and every box was checked marked! Will definitely throw this into an outing routine for the weekends!“
