“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 “
“I love yardhouse! Their wings are the best. My boyfriend and I always get them for starters. My usual order is always either the Grilled Chicken and Avocado Sandwich or the Classic Cheeseburger! So yummy. And for my drink I always get the Sparkling Refreshers with Topo Chico.“
Cocktail Bar •
“Food and drinks were amazing, so was the service. Carl our waiter/bartender was so knowledgeable about the drinks and food. The ambiance is romantic and relaxing especially outside. I like sprit foward drinks, I enjoyed the following cocktails: Miso-cilin, Ume Old Fashioned, and Bloosom Martini. Blossoms Rigatoni was also delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the other cocktails and food.“
“We had such a great time this last weekend. The food was all so good, we got almost all the sides like brussel sprouts, crispy cauliflower (amazing), asparagus, truffle Mac and cheese and appetizers as well such as the charcuterie board which was quite delicious.I had a filet which was cooked perfectly to my request and had such good seasoning and sauce as well. We also tried their handmade pasta which was also very good and light tasting.We can't wait to go back and try more food and get more of the crispy cauliflower.My only criticism was it was very loud in the restaurant, so at times it was hard to hear each other at our table. But you can see everyone just having a good time together at their tables. But we will definitely be back for more!“
“Everyone else is spot on. Cute place with a great vibe. Walked vet the road from another bar that was a bit bog standard meat market and it just felt nicely welcoming and alternative. That might have been the Alana Morrisset playing, or the very wide age group of 20-70years old but I liked it.“
“An amazing local bar. Was here both Friday and Saturday night. The Security does their job while still maintaining a comfortable atmosphere for the customers. I have traveled all over the world and honestly The bartenders here are the most professional and friendly I have ever seen. Drinks were great. The crowd was very friendly and welcoming. I had a great time here. I give them a 10 out of 10.“
“One of the best places in the area for drinks. Mix that with a lo-fi DJ on certain days + an animistic ambiance and you have a potent concoction for a sultry evening. Speaking concoctions, “An Incan Ruin” is a veritable elixir of mysticism x flavor. 10/10 would recommend.“
“Ah, this spot is a nice little green oasis in the concrete jungle of Orange County. Great spot to relax and sit amongst the tendrils of vines. They even have some neat art books to peruse on shelves next to the bathroom. As for food, hubs and I split a pho banh mi, French dip style + some egg rolls. He got a Vietnamese iced coffee and I had the iced jasmine tea. All delicious, all decently priced. Good spot to go to without having to go to Westminster. I'm always finding fusion restaurants dubious, but this one did a great job of honoring Vietnamese food while making subtle twists.“
“Came to open mic. Had a blast! The food was excellent, and the service right on time. They were super attentive. Had a great time, and the vibe was super fun and energetic. And all of the performers were really, really good. I'll be coming back for sure!“
“We stumbled upon this little gem by accident, and we are so happy we did. Beto and Maribel were so friendly and made us feel so welcome. Excellent service, quality food, we'll definitely be back to check out the fire pit! P.S. We had the pesto sun-dried tomato and pepperoni arugula flatbreads and we really enjoyed them. My mom LOVED the Espresso Martini!“
“This place a hole in a wall guys, lemme put you on seriously from the ambiance to the drinks. The most special is the owner, Goto-san, is super cute and he appeased to my wants and needs. Very friendly spot and fancy club-like vibe WITH karaoke. I must recommend to stop by for a chil drink/ night cap!!“
“Holy guacamole, these oysters are the bomb. Love the location and can feel the fresh ocean vibes reflected in the oyster being served here. Was amazed by the love and care received from staff here in taking care of my food needs. Can't wait to be back!!“
“I cannot say enough great things about Cassidy and Mary, our servers at Wild Goose. Their demeanor, attention to detail, and genuine care for their customers truly set them apart. Every time I visit the restaurant, Cassidy and Mary go above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience is nothing short of exceptional. They are both true assets to the team and always bring smiles to my face. I cannot recommend the Goose enough to anyone looking for top-notch service, just be sure to sit in their sections. Thank you, Cassidy and Mary, for always making my visits memorable!“
“Honestly this is a spot that has been timeless in West Costa Mesa especially for those of us who live on the best side of CM! They just reopened last year and were terribly missed post Covid.Excited to hear that the menu is going to be remixed very soon as they already have some solid plates that never disappoint. From a Po’Boy that reminds you of Nawlins’, to an unchopped salad that really hits the spot during artists hour, you cannot go wrong dropping in for especially a drink.The mixology in this place is insane with old school drinks to new school libations made with your favorite booze.The music is usually beyond on point and is a good break from some of the pretentious spots around it (menos Garabaldi…si sabes tu sabes jaja).I always drop in to host friends or fam from out of town as I wish I could be here every week! Do yourself a favor and keep it real when on the West Side and hit up West End!“
“First of all the vibe- this place captures it all with plenty of parking right outside. We've always had excellent service here, knowledgeable, helpful and sincerely kind. Fernando has waited on us the last few times we've been here and he's great. As for the food- consistently delicious. Everything is wood fired and cooked to perfection. One of our favorite places in Costa Mesa. Recommend.“
“My first time at this restaurant and it won't be my last. The noon time buffet was very good and reasonably priced. I had birria for the first time and loved it. The restaurant is roomy, large outdoor patio and service was excellent.“
“First time here! The atmosphere and decor are very inviting, plus they have TVs so the people in our party interested in sports didn't have to miss out on the Women's basketball game.We came on a Friday at 4 pm and were able to get seated immediately. The server Dylan was super conversational and made some stellar recommendations off the HH menu. Our party of four all shared the shishito peppers, Bahn mi, burgers, crudo (not HH), but the best thing we had were the Brussel sprouts! They top it with crispy fried sweet potato strings.To finish up our dining experience, we also had their mini version of a pizookie and creme brulee cheesecake. Highly recommend this place for great food and fun Vibes ?“
“Classic OC music venue and bar right off 19th in Costa Mesa / Newport Mesa area . This place has gone through a few names and owners, but its still iconic. Our bands have played here many time over the last 15 years and there's nowhere else you can see quality bands in such an intimate venue in all of Orange County. Plus the bar drink and food are great and they do tons of weekly events like Karaoke and Trivia. Keep this independent music venue alive and go see bands, buy a drink and go hang here.“
“Thanks to Chef Josef for his creativity and passion for crafting a high quality meal option for my wife who has severe food allergies. In many restaurants, she is left to pick some tasteless option, so we really appreciate Chef Joseph and can say that it’s because of him that we now come back over and over again.Dietary restrictions: Amazing support from Chef Josef on the severe food allergies we have to cater for when we go out.“
