Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Costa Mesa

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Social Costa Mesa is a gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a vibrant atmosphere. The food was a delightful mix of flavors—definitely try the Wagyu Burger and the pistachio chocolate chip cookies. These cookies were the perfect balance of nutty and sweet—absolutely unforgettable! And let me just say, their Bloody Mary is hands-down the best I’ve ever had! It was the perfect combination of spice and flavor, a total game-changer for brunch drinks. The indoor vibe was cozy and welcoming, with just the right mix of trendy and comfortable. What stood out the most was how family-friendly the space is. It’s rare to find a spot that caters so well to both parents and kids without compromising on style or quality. Perfect for a weekend treat or happy hour with friends—this place has it all. We’ll definitely be back!”

Good food, service, drinks and atmosphere! We will be back!

The food, the service and the ambience when dining outdoor is definitely something I would keep coming back for! It was the 2nd time I’ve been there because I was so happy when my girlfriends took me there for my birthday. I loved it so much that my daughter wanted to experience it too for her 27th birthday, so it was a first for my family. It was a very cold night but the fire and the blankets that they provided made it experience very comfy and cozy. We had 2 types of their version of Spanish paella (Coastal Array for seafood and the Secret Cut for the meat), along with other tapas to share like the Striploin and Patatas Bravas. The croquetas was awesome! What made it really special was the awesome service of our server, Brisa. Another person who helped clean and serve, as well as take our pictures was Annabel (I hope I got her name right). She was also amazing the first time I was there in July, nice Filipina. The view at the Top of the V was amazing and we got to enjoy the spectacular Disneyland fireworks from where we were sitting. If you want to have an amazing celebration, whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary or just Wine Wednesday, you should dine here! We loved it!!!

I had such a great time. I celebrated my birthday during brunch and our secret was so attentive. The bottomless mimosas is so worth it. My glass was never empty. The food was also good and very fresh. Would definitely come back.

Food quality was great and the place was really cozy.
