“This Irish pub is our frequent stop when we are in the mood for its authentic European food experience. A small patio makes for intimate dining, weather permitting. Heat lamps abound for more robust weather. It is not to be missed near St Patty's Day. The place bustles with good old Irish exuberance! Though extremely rushed, our waiter took his time with our large party of 9, and did not make a mistake when serving what everyone ordered. He even added accoutrements without our asking. Definitely stop by during St Patty's to have a rousing good time. And plan to drink a lot of Guinness!“

“OC Pizza was always a place I saw near by when I would do my laundry at the laundry mat next over. Let me just say I hate doing laundry, but the best part is coming to get good pizza and amazing secret sauce. I may not be a sports fan but I am a fan of this establishment. I saw they sell fried zucchini and that's on my next try for the following visit. The young lady that works there is really polite!!! Thank you!!!“

Terrace on the Green American •
27601 Casta Del Sol, Mission Viejo

“9/12/2023Went for a nice walk this morning and landed at Terrace On The Green for breakfast. I was greeted by Lily, who provided stellar service and was a joy to talk to. I ordered the farmers' omelet with sliced tomatoes and a cup of black coffee. The breakfast was wonderful, as was the ambiance. I finished breakfast and continued my morning walk. Recommended.6/4/2023Had a terrific sunset dinner at Terrace on the Green tonight. Our favorite server, Sierra, helped us with our dining experience and just lights up the place with her amazing personality. We started with drinks and shared the wedge salad. This place is so nice and truly a hidden gem. Sierra took our main entree order, and each ordered the salmon tacos, which are utterly the best around. The chefs prepare amazing dishes, and we just love this place.If you are hungry and around Marguerite and Costa Del Sol, you must stop by and try this fantastic establishment. Ask for Sierra as she lights up the place! Great food, service, and ambiance!!Highly recommended5/29/2023Went for a nice 2 hr walk today and had reservations for Terrace on the Green at 2:30 pm. Lily was our server, and what a positive vibe and outlook besides being professional, helpful, and attentive. We started with the wedge salad and some drinks made by Tim, our favorite bartender. We then ordered a few entrees with salmon tacos and a Margherita pizza. Both entrees were quite tasty and well presented. The ambiance is so peaceful and nurturing and the food, service, and people top shelf. It is truly a hidden gem here in the heart of Mission Viejo! It's a must try for all you foodies and fellow yelpers! Highly recommended.5/28/2023My wife and I went on a wonderful 2 hr walk this morning and landed at Terrace On the Green for breakfast. We were greeted by the lovely hostess who was warm and welcoming and were seated by Paul the GM, a wonderful and kind gentleman and terrific host. We ordered breakfast with both of us requesting the farm fresh omelets, and they are amazing. Kennedy, our gracious server, came and checked on us, delivered our entrees, and was very professional, kind, and caring. The breakfast was delicious, and the ambiance was fantastic as we were surrounded by lush greenery and a beautiful golf course setting. Recommended.5/19/2023It was such a wonderful morning at Terrace on the Green. I stopped by for breakfast, and the hostess was kind and seated me inside at a nice window view table. Steve, the GM greeted me upon arrival and has such a welcoming and friendly demeanor. Nancy, my amazing server, just made the meal and dining experience that much nicer with her fantastic outlook, kindness, and conversation. I ordered the farmers fresh omelet with potatoes, a cup of coffee, and an orange juice, and everything was presented quite well and tasted so good. I learned about the fundraising events from Rochelle, the events coordinator, and kindly donated to the event for animals that is taking place tomorrow. Wonderful people, amazing food, and an ambiance that brings peace to the soul.Highly recommended5/11/2023This is by far Mission Viejo's most hidden gem! Paul, the GM, had brought to Mission Viejo an amazing setting with an ambiance adjacent to a beautiful golf course setting. The service is stellar, and the entire staff is worthy of praise. Paul runs a very nice restaurant with breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, and he is also a master chef as well working with chef Ricardo on the menu creations. Tonight, we stopped in for dinner and drinks, and let me start with Tim, who tends to the bar and makes exquisite drinks to perfect. The double tea time made with tequilla is as is the patron, club sofa, lime, lemon, and mint. The food is delightful, and Kelly stopped by to assist and was simply amazing as well. Tate delivered our food and was also attentive and quite kind. The bread and butter were so good and fresh. I ordered the skirt steak medium rare with fingerling roasted potatoes and arugula, and all I can say is WOW. Highly recommended.“

Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club‎ American • $$$

“Great experience and a very nice course, the home of PGA pro Michael Block! The greeting and clubhouse is nice and they do take care of you. I rented clubs and bought some golf balls/ hat. They carried my clubs to a very nice cart and were very pleasant!The price before 1 however is steep! $155 a round. After 1 it’s like $80? Or so.Didn’t take advantage of the grill but patio and clientele I met were awesome. Definitely a great experience, just wish it didn’t take such a bite out of my midwestern wallet on a Monday!“

“We made reservations for Dublin4 and it seemed pretty wild so they walked next door and sat up at the high top at Wineworks. Such a better atmosphere. Both restaurants share the same kitchen and restrooms. And there’s a lot of similarities between the menus but this has the better options.I always complain that OC doesn’t have great food but this place knows the game. And the wine menu is excellent. I even had a Pinot Noir from Baden, Germany. All dishes were excellent and the service was even better. Only complaint is the parking is terrible so good luck, maybe the lot is bigger in the back.“

OC Diner American •
258 Shops At Mission Viejo, Mission Viejo

“This location recently changed hands from Ruby’s to OC Diner. There are a few slight changes to the menu, service and overall real, but for the most part, same ol same ol. The service was a bit on the slower side as they didn’t have a host to seat you. This caused a bit of a service snapfoo as people sat where they wished and then servers had to adjust who and where they serviced based on next come, next serve. The menu prices were a bit on the higher side to adjust to what I would beleive to be high rent costs. But 3 and 1/2 buck for a so-so cup of coffee, hard pass. This is a 50’s diner feel, with 2035 prices. The vibe was a bit off and didn’t have that classic old school 50’s uniform, music and attitude going on… Which we all seem to love when visiting a diner. The plating was a bit to be desired and seemed a bit rushed really. It felt more like this had been saved as an investment and not a passion. Had the pleasure of visiting the Ruby’s in the South Coast Plaza Mall and was pleasantly surprised it was still a ruby’s and rockin the awesome old world diner vibe! Sad to see this location falling away from the diner vibe as it used to be a great go-to spot when in the area.“

Very popular with locals from Mission Viejo and Ladera Ranch.“

“They have loco moco! I was able to sub an Impossible patty for $3. It was bomb. Their hash browns, crispy brown outside, so good. Eggs cooked to perfection whether sunny side up or scrambled.Yes, I know fake meat is worse for your health than real beef. For my medical condition, plant-based protein whenever possible per my doctor. For loco moco you can choose ground beef, sausage, chicken. Garden or Impossible patty for an upcharge.“

Marketplace Café American • $
100 The Shops Blvd, Mission Viejo

“Located at Nordstrom's 2nd floor. I have been coming here for many many years. One of my favorite places to eat and hang out at. While everyone is shopping, you can find me here. Lol.You go in, order your food at the counter, then they give you a number, then you find a cozy spot in this huge dining room. The servers bring you the order. Fountain beverages available, alcoholic & non-alcoholic options as well. Tons of dessert options & whatever entree floats your boat. In my most recent visit, we got the cheddar & chive biscuit, the tomato basil soup (my favorite), the artichoke spinach dip (huge portion, not enough pita, so ask for more), cilantro lime salad is a winner. For sandwiches, the Santa Fe chicken panini is great. Don't forget the creme brulee & the carrot cake for dessert! Prices are reasonable. The servers will come around with mint chocolate sticks on their tip trays... if you choose to leave gratuity. Other than that, I love coming here.“

“Walked into this place expecting a nice juicy burger, disappointed to say that when I was handed my patty and it was in fact, smashed. They took their name to another level, one I don't like. Found a strand of hair or two in my ranch dressing, it tasted blonde. Next time, I prefer my hair brunette, like I like my men.“

“It’s funny how steaks work.. but the host, and the waiter were well beyond what you’d expect. Out of probably all Dennys. I’d say I was in and out within 25 minutes. Steak Broccoli, and potatoes. Both the Host, and Waiter streamlined along with some of the best service in this industry. ??“
