Came here for some food and I must say that this is the best food I have ever had. I was not displeased with any of the dishes that they served. The waiters had great communication and everyone was so inviting. 10/10 would 100% come here again!

Came here tonight for spaghetti night. Our server was fucking horrible. Took 30 minutes to get my cherry coke. And it's all you can eat spaghetti night but the witch server told us after bringing our first bowl that all of a sudden the kitchen is closed smh!!! This place USED to be on point but now they have a bunch of clowns working here! Such a disappointment!!! I'm never coming back

I'm not overly difficult as a customer, but I'm also not easily impressed. There are a lot of great items on the menu, but tonight was the first time I had the Cobb Salad. I had it with some of their Ahi. Not only was it flavorful, but the portion was great. Incredibly filling for a salad. The bacon slices vs crumbles were exceptionally delicious. It's always a great atmosphere at Black Knight, and the staff is super attentive!
My company had our holiday party at Black Knight Gastro lounge where we were able to reserve their entire place for our private party and enjoy an amazing feast and some whimsical cocktails. Black Knight Gastro Lounge is at Triangle Plaza at the end of the 55 fwy in Costa Mesa. It was a quaint little gem on 2nd floor tucked between Sevilla and Yardhouse. I have been in this area many times and never seen it before. For our private party, the business was able to cater a glorious meal. I commend them for being really well staffed and the staff was all super friendly and accommodating. Dillan took care of our table for most of the night and he was so quick, funny, and attentive. Definitely above and beyond service. Drinks - A full bar, a holiday menu and a special private event drink selection based on some special names based on our business. The drinks were all delicious and on point. My coworkers and I all had a great time with these drinks. Appetizers - Wow a glorious spread. I was lucky to come on time to witness everything in tact. There were 7 types of flatbreads, 2 types of wings, a glorious charcuterie platter with delicious selections of meats and cheeses and accompaniments. The meats were pretty thick thick and the cheeses were big pieces too, but I had no issues breaking them down. The taste was on point. In addition to this spread, the staff was also walking around with delicious poke nachos, potato balls and bacon wrapped dates. My table was totally the fattys enjoying all of these special items. Entrée - Whoa I thought the snacks were it! And then more food came out. There was 2 types of salads, white rice, risotto, scalloped potatoes and kebabs. The salad was average and the risotto was subpar, but the kebabs and scalloped potatoes were amazinggggg. Total food coma. Desserts - We had flan AND brownie topped with vanilla ice cream. Wow. I was so full but I had both. Shameless! When the reserved time was over, we weren't rushed out but the opened up to the public. Live music started on this Friday night. It was soooooo loud I couldn't have a decent conversation with anyone. I really enjoyed their food but I would only want to come back during quiet hours. And when I say loud I mean they were sooooooo loud, we could still hear them from across the street as we left to grab drinks somewhere else where we can have a decent conversation. Nevertheless a wonderful time. I appreciate the business and their staff for a spectacular holiday outing.

I am Wine Wednesday regular and our service from the new waitress, Delicia, was the best experience I’ve ever had here. She is so sweet and attentive. The food and Danny’s live performance is always top tier but it’s great to add another reason to recommend this place. Give Delicia a raise ;)
