    We celebrated our wedding anniversary at their Costa Mesa location this weekend. Reservation was easy via OpenTable. The restaurant staffs were super friendly and attentive. They offered us unlimited FREE Róse. The food were amazingly delicious. Our service staffs, Jordan and Milton, were very attentive, and even chatted with us for a few minutes. Took pictures for us. The decorations were cute, warm and inviting. We had a great time, definitely would return and recommend this restaurant to our friends and family. A 5 Stars experience.
