“GREAT quality restaurant/bar with fresh and delicious appetizers and entrees, and quick and friendly staff and service. They also have AWESOME Happy Hour service with a generous timeslot from 4-7 p.m., Mon. - Fri. We'll DEFINITELY be back, as regulars!“
“Love the food here! Their hatch burger was really good especially the burger buns are amazing!I understand they don’t customize per your request as mentioned on their menu but we asked for ketchup they didn’t have. We asked for extra hot sauce they gave us a few drops of it in the little sauce cup (came across as rude). We requested for extra kimchi in their kimchi ramen they couldn’t fulfill that request as well.I may go again for its food but I’d hope for more hospitable behavior next time.Vegetarian options: It’s all vegan“
“Underrated afternoon chill for getting draft beer and healthy pours of wine. We usually come during the week for the burger and beer deal. This time we came and the menu had added options such as the crab cake and fish and chips. Every time we come the server is friendly and gets our food out quickly. The seats are always abundant. Order. Eat. People watch.“
“So yesterday was my second Tuesday in a row with Joling behind the bar and what a TREAT it has been! She greets you with a friendly smile, is efficient a great multi-tasker and so easy on the eyes! I do not know how Kim finds such quality employees! In this day and age of LACKADAISICAL service at best, Joling offers a level of service that is beyond reproach! Count me in as a Tuesday regular from now on!“
“Music a little loud, yet that is the added ambiance of their venue and crowd attraction.Bang-bang strip Tacos, delicious.Impressive giant pretzel display. Yet pretzel slightly dry. Knowing this, I would suggest less baked, so it is softer.Mustard dip delicious yet be prepared as it has a bit of a bite after each bite.Parking: Tustin“
“I had an amazing experience, living in the OC for 8 years so far I don't know how I didn't know this place existed. Foods are delicious, the service is great, would be good if they added some sort of omelets brunch foods, and open more hours but I guess that's a business decision. Will recommend“
“We had a great evening dining at our local Urban Plates tonight! Everything was above and beyond, excellent, starting with the cashier’s joyful attitude to the attentive servers, Ruth and Javier specifically. Thank you to them, along with the great chefs and management! We look forward to being back and highly recommending it to others.“
“The food was delicious, staff was very kind, and the restaurant was warm and beautiful. Our waiter was a little too fast in getting our order in rather than listening to us, so our order came out incorrect. As soon as he realized, he apologized and brought out a complimentary dish of the proper order. Will definitely be back here for dinner service and to try all the dishes!“
“Select led this place to Celebrate my birthday. Food was good and our server was very helpful and provided us with excellent service. The noise was a little too loud for my liking since is a small place and they crammed a bar in the front entrance of the restaurant. Tables are also too close together and we can hear others' conversations.“
“This place is awesome. Last night was my second time going there. My friend recommended this place to me, because she lives in the area. And every time she recommend something to me or takes me somewhere to eat, it's awesome. The food is unbelievable. The service is friendly and top bar. The drinks are the bomb. The atmosphere is great. I was very happy both times. I would go back again in a minute! And definitely ask James to be your server. He was the best server ever last night. I think I might have had the best filet mignon of my life at this place last night. The grilled lobster is great. The seared scallops are the bomb. I highly recommend it.“
“The food here is healthy, delicious, and never disappoints. The braised beef is my favorite, and the steak dish my husband prefers is always cooked to perfection. Great service too - thank you Carlos for your kindness, friendliness, and efficiency!“
“this place is amazing from food to the staff. You cannot go wrong with any of their burgers or one of their salads. The drinks are amazing and the staff is super friendly every time I'm here the waiter or waitress is so sweet literally every time“
“Brandon, the bartender at the downstairs bar, was incredible. His knowledge of the art of making cocktails is unreal. His authentic passion made it such an incredible experience. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Best drinks in town, hands down!“
“3 companions and I dined at Populaire Modern Bistro in South Coast Plaza on 2/21/24 and I ordered the prix fixe menu. We bought a bottle of wine separately. The PF menu was $65 per person and well worth it. Everything was spectacular. The blending of flavors with the heirloom carrots was unique. I'm not normally a huge fan of tartare normally, but it was really flavorful. The beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth tender and even the rice pudding - which I can normally take or leave - had some wonderful, unexpected flavors. Don't be fooled by the "bistro" label. This was definitely a cut above the normal bistro fare of steak and frites or Croque Monsieur.Our server was warm and efficient. She was friendly enough to stop and talk but took her cue from us, which was much appreciated. The location used to be part of the Corner Bakery chain. It was remodeled in part, but it's in South Coast Plaza mall so not a ton of atmosphere. Once you taste the food, you won't care!“
“This is hands down one of my favorite go to's ! Anything and I mean anything on this menu is amazing !! You all know my palate it Hass to be beyond delicious and this place is!!! we also ended up going to the saloon, which is right next-door so fun with the live band. People are fun friendly. I had people sponsoring my drinks and I sponsored people as well good times!! Must try the Ranch then dance it off next door go to my food4pondering page on IG for food pics Trio ceviche is a must try !!“
“if my dad asks where I want to go for dinner, I will always pick this place. Me and my dad both skipped lunch for us to order a lot of food. For an appetizer we ordered the Seared Salmon Sushi. The order came out super quick and I loved how they seared garlic on top of the salmon!! I ended up finishing it all ?. For entrees, I ordered the Ravioli and it was delectable. The shrimp tasted amazing and the truffle sauce was excellent! My dad ordered the Sea Bass and it came with lots of veggies! Loved the freshness of the sea bass. Finally, we ordered the apple pie for dessert. The pie tasted so warm and home cooked. It reminded me of my grandma’s cooking. The ice cream added a nice coldness to the pie. Im not a sweet person but it was scrumptious!! I always come back and I am looking forward to my next visit!!“
“We went for brunch and it was so good!! The Surfer Rancheros were amazing. Everything was fresh, healthy, and delicious! The mimosa flight was a lot of fun. Kale-apple juice and the pineapple juice were our favorites.Dietary restrictions: So many gluten free and vegan options on the menu.“
“Meh. General Manager is Persian and we were wondering if he is related to the famous singer & violinist, Bijan Mortezavi. This particular location was pretty busy. Some of the dishes we ordered were the brussel sprouts, bacon candy, edamame, buffalo wings, buffalo cauliflower, cajun fries and ahi tuna crispy rice.“
“Service was great - there was more than one person assisting with clearing our table, wiping off the crumbs. The view of the marina was beautiful. Even though they technically don't have a kids menu, they accommodated us with a few options for our toddler. The food was delicious especially the cauliflower appetizer.“
“The food and atmosphere was incredible…burrata, meatballs and Mary’s chicken are fantastic. The burger and ceviche is also incredible. A not to miss spot right on the water. Savannah is also incredible with beer and wine recommendations as well as food knowledge. Highly recommend.“
“Great food and great ambiance. Really appreciated that the patio was warm and cozy (overhead heaters) even on a cold rainy day and that the staff kept it open just for us - very accommodating and great service. We ordered 5 small plates for the two of us and loved the chile relleno and mushrooms “

“Grrat food and drink. Nice beer selection. Servers were very friendly. I will say that, in the few times I've been, the servers do not seem to check back that often. It's probably because you pay at the table but I've wanted to order more and when nobody checked back, I just gave up and payed.“
“I've been trying to come to this place for the past couple years but they've always been closed since they're not open Sunday-Wednesday which is usually when we drive down to Disneyland from the Bay Area. We were finally able to come down on a Saturday and reserve a spot way in advance. Food was good but we came to drink the drinks. The ambiance was amazing they and a DJ and views of the parks with fireworks.“
“From the moment I stepped into Pom Olive in Costa Mesa, I knew I was in for a treat. This gem of a restaurant offers a culinary journey that tantalizes the taste buds and leaves you craving for more.Let’s talk about the falafel first - crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, perfectly spiced, and served with just the right amount of tahini sauce. It’s evident that Pom Olive puts a lot of love and expertise into their falafel, making it a must-try for anyone visiting.The lentil soup is another masterpiece. Rich, comforting, and seasoned to perfection, it’s like a warm hug in a bowl. Whether you’re here on a chilly evening or just looking for a hearty start to your meal, this soup is an excellent choice.The roasted cauliflower deserves its own accolade. It’s roasted to a delightful crispiness while retaining a tender interior, and the spices used are spot on, enhancing the natural flavors of the cauliflower without overwhelming them.And then there’s the baklava - oh, the baklava! It’s simply the best I’ve had. Sweet, nutty, and layered with the most perfectly flaky pastry, it’s a sublime end to an already fantastic meal. Pom Olive truly excels in delivering this classic dessert with a balance of flavors that is hard to find elsewhere.I cannot conclude this review without mentioning Luke, our server for the evening. His recommendations were spot-on, and his attentive, friendly service greatly enhanced our dining experience. Luke’s passion for the restaurant’s offerings and his eagerness to share it with patrons make a visit to Pom Olive all the more special.In summary, Pom Olive in Costa Mesa is a culinary treasure. The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is friendly and attentive, and every dish I tried was a testament to the skill and passion behind the kitchen. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to give Pin Olive a visit. It’s an experience you won’t soon forget.Adding a personal touch about the staff, like mentioning Luke, can really round out a review and give others a sense of the service quality.“
“You should consider your reservation to Trust as a dinner show starring master chef Justin, sous chef Kyle, wine expert Trish and Jared, the man that makes things happen. This 13 course diner show included the absolute best bread in town, duck, steak and ravioli amongst others, finished with three different desserts. Chef Justin told story with each course served, the wine was not just served, Trish gifted with love. So did the deserts, you can tell that Kyle had poured his heart and soul into the sweets.Be on time for your reservation and bring a hungry appetite. It is worth it.“
“Good food, good service, don't be surprised at the prices.The pomme in the menu is not fries (pomme frites), it's (apparently) pomegranate.Parking: The restaurant entrance is a little hard to find if you haven't been there and it's raining. There appears to be outside seating.“
“Came here for a birthday lunch on a Wednesday. The lunch menu was very limited and I wish they included a seafood or fish option for a main option. Nonetheless, the food we ordered was delicious! We shared the steak and frites, Caesar salad, lemon bucatini, and classic cheesecake. The filet was incredibly tender - I loved the spice from the peppercorns. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the taste was great. The saltiness from the pork bits balanced so well with the lemon flavor. The Caesar salad was my least favorite. The dressing tasted a bit too fishy and the "croutons" were comparable to soft bread.. not crunchy enough. Lastly, the classic cheesecake was one of the best I've ever tasted. I had no complains about the service. Nonetheless, this restaurant's ambiance is incredible. I recommend you to make reservations, even for a weekday! We went right when it opened at 11am. The main dining room was full when we left around noon.“
“Server: Madison - She's so amazing and lovely and attentive (but not overly)! Also, a winning personality and very hospitable. Food: 1) House Burger w/ Gluten Free Bun - So tasty! The chef(s) are absolute flavor artists. Love is in all their food creations. (Gluten free bun is NOT dull and dry, it's one of the good ones). 2) Crispy Rice/Spicy Albacore - Dude, what the heck!? We've had these apps at every restaurant that has them and for me this was the best creation/version. It was diced fish, not 'finely minced' like other places, with yummy sauce and red pepper flakes (nice touch!) on immaculately seared rice patties! Ambiance: Outdoor eating area has heaters for when it's chillier, and it's very floral and nature'y. Lovely! Prices:Reasonable for the level of effort put into the food! Love this place.“
“Went there for a quick bite after the HAI show. Food was good, had the scallops as appetizer was really good with the mushroom and purée of cauliflower.Then for main tried the Lamb Tagliatelle. Really good choiceNice restaurant inside the Weston “
“Chef's kiss! Food was amazing! My husband ordered a Vietnamese coffee and soufflé pancakes with a side of biscuits and gravy. I ordered a strawberry lemonade and a sausage breakfast burrito. So filling! You order at the counter and your food is brought to your number. Outdoor seating but it was such a beautiful sunny day which made the experience even better! Everyone was so polite and helpful especially since it was our first time and not knowing the menu. First timer and definitely a next timer!“
“Our new favorite place in Irvine! We ordered soup and delicious sandwich combo that came with herb tossed chips!, crispy shaved (and fried crispy) Brussels sprouts Bánh mì with bright assortment of onion, cilantro, cucumber, etc, and Face plant sandwich packed with mounds of sprouts, avocado, and other really fresh veggies, celebrating the freshness and the flavor of plant based ingredients. Really looking forward to our next time and explore other items.“
“Round up your foodie friends because I have found THE perfect spot for your next aesthetic night out, this place will instantly transport you to a fairy garden oasis.With their seasonally inspired menu, we had to order a little bit of everything, and I recommend that you do too! Be sure to try the Gochujang fried chicken, Braised short ribs, and Brown butter cake that it is absolutely out of this world.And can’t forget about the drinks! Butterfly strawberry spritzer and Lavender lemon basil cocktails, both were super pretty and strong.Thanks for reading! ^-^“
“Celebrated our anniversary here and we couldn't have been happier. The venue was easy to find and the ambiance was exactly our vibe. I recommend everyone order their poke nachos, it was enough for at least 3 to 4 people. The drinks were great, but it was the decor, music, and scenery that really livened up the atmosphere. We can't wait to come back during the summer to catch the sunset and try more dishes. We absolutely loved it here.“
“This is the best burger in Orange County! The people working here are genuinely kind and helpful.The location isn't great but they should not deter you from trying this gem out!I suggest the Hole in the Wall Burger and the Carne Asada Fries.“
“Celebrating Christmas Eve Brunch at the Mayor's was incredible. Not only did they have the largest selection of top-quality foods, but their service was fantastic! It was all you can eat, and it was hard to stop devouring plate after plate. They had really refreshing iced tea with rose water in it. I didn't expect to see an ice sculpture as their centerpiece. I hope to come back again soon, as it was quite the experience.Vegetarian options: A lot of great optionsKid-friendliness: They offered a reduced price for kids, and they loved the experience!“
“My husband and I love this place for date nights. The food is consistently great. The music and dancing is romantic. And Frankie and the bar staff always provide top notch service. My favorite drink is the Irish-O and my husband likes the old fashioned. Guacamole and chips is a great appetizer. And we usually order the steak and chicken entrees. I am never disappointed at Bistango.“
“I have been going to Mariposa for a long time and love everything about the restaurant. But this time when I opened the menu, there were popover flakes all over the menu. I overlooked that I guess. But when I was served the chicken consommé, the plate was dirty. That's so unlike the restaurant. I'm hoping in the future, they keep the place cleaner than this experience.“
“Just finished breakfast and all I can say is wow!From the service and attention to the deliciousness of the food. This is a must for sure!We were worried we wouldn't find something for the kids after scanning the menu and the waiter was quick to give us a ton of options, all of which the kids devoured. Would definitely recommend, especially since we didn't have to wait for a table of 7 mid-morning on a Saturday.“
“I’ve been going to this place when in town for over 10 years and it has never let me down. Impeccable menu, top notch service and atmosphere, and the bartenders know exactly how to do things. Cant say enough just how awesome this place is.“
“The name did not sound promising and the location is hidden behind the car park of another restaurant - but despite our trepidation, this place turned out to be excellent for dinner. I had an excellent Reuben sandwich and my wife had plenty of gluten free options to choose from. Service was friendly.“
“Went here on a Saturday night (4/06/24) with a friend and this is a cool, hip and happening place for all ages. LOVE the atmosphere, LOVE the pictures and LOVE the green ? lights. I ordered the Alfredo Pasta with Blackened Chicken PLUS 2 pieces of garlic cheese bread comes with it. O-M-G, soooo delish and a lot of food too. The service was great and the music ?? was very hip. I will be back!!!“
“We relaxed and enjoyed the end of a busy day here and the gentleman who served us let us know as we paid our tab it was his first day. He was professional and very pleasant. Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“
“After a day of traveling and then working we wanted a casual dinner in an upbeat place. Our group tried the Fajita Salad, Blue Cheese and Avocado Burger, and the Pineapple Burger. The Pineapple Burger had it's hints of sweetness and was very good even though I expected more than one piece of pineapple on the burger. The Fajita Salad was very well balanced and fresh! The Blue Cheese amd Avocado burger was my favorite though!!!! Of the beer on tap we had the Cali Squeeze Blood Orange which is a Wheat Beer, and the Una Mas, which is an Amber. Both were good if you like those types!Parking: There was not a lot of parking as it shares the lot but we eventually found a place to park.“
“By far one of the coolest spots in Anaheim! Love their food, ambiance but by far their customer service is immaculate. They are super kind, our server Robbin was on it. He was efficient, knowledgeable about our food and drinks and had amazing communication skills, the other servers were awesome too. We got to enjoy the 8 course menu along with some tasty cocktails. I personally loved the ceviche tostada, lamb chop & crispy sushi rice with prime smoked brisket... the cocktails that were paired were amazing. I loved the "somewhere in Japan" it had whisky sake, flower water,yuzu plum, egg white.10/10 recommend for your next date night or girls night out.“
“Always phenomenal. Great people making delicious and healthy food. One of a kind restaurant and market.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. I opt usually for the incredible beans, which I also regularly buy and make at home. They are distributed by a company called Rancho Gordo. If you have never tried their beans and are a bean lover, life is about to get a little sweeter.Parking: Free parking behind the restaurant.“
“Amazing. Ordered the Shrimp for the protein. Side of roasted Broccoli with seasoned bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. The very fresh fruit bowl consisting of grapes ( sliced in half) a few segments of very sweet tangerine and pineapple as a delightful finish.Oh yes; and the encore... The cookie and lemon cake..My wife and I will be back.“
“My fiancé and I are visiting California from Ontario, Canada and were looking for a brewery to stop at in the afternoon for a quick bite and a beer. I found Golden Road online and it looked to be what I was looking for. It did not disappoint.This place is HUGE. There is so much indoor and outdoor seating. There are nice big windows, a beautiful bar, tvs, and just the overall feel of the place is awesome. The Mango Cart beer was honestly the best beer i've ever had. Even my usually non-beer-drinking fiancé had one. The fried avocado tacos were amazing. Our server Ryan was great. He was very friendly, especially when he found out we were fellow Ducks fans. We will definitely be back.My only complaint is that we can't take this place (or 12 cases of beer) home with us.“
“We ate here twice on our trip .. Food was fantastic, everyone in our group loved what they ordered. Didn't take long to get our food. Staff was exceptional, very very friendly and super nice! Little difficult to find at night, kinda hidden but well worth it!“
“So I've ordered food here a few times, and I appreciate the friendly staff and wel prepared food.I especially appreciate the meticulous attention to the preparation of the salads here. The vegetables so far have been fresh, crisp, and tasty. (I ordered the kale quinoa salad and its cery tasty)My family say the French onion burgers are awesome and the chili fries here are delicious also. This place is also always clean and well staffed whenever I stop by, and online ordering is straight forward.“
