- JJackieLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had the BEST experience at Water Grill! The service was incredible (& super helpful with reco’s… also noted that we were there for a Bday and made it very special). The food was perfect, so delicious. The ambience was everything I could have wished for. We will be back!More infoWater Grill - South Coast PlazaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Costa Mesa•4.8
- BBozennaLos Angeles •50 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe food was very good, as usual. We both had the soup and flatbread combo, and the new cauliflower and cheese soup was outstanding. I would have preferred a different cheese in the mushroom flatbread as the feta overpowered the subtle mushrooms, but overall, very tasty. We will definitely return.More infoSeasons 52 - Costa MesaPrice: Expensive• American• Costa Mesa•4.8

- AAshleyvipDenver / Colorado •7 reviews5.0Dined on 14 Nov 2024Really nice vibe for an anniversary date night. I got the salmon which was fabulous and my boyfriend got the highly recommended El Churrasco. He was not impressed with the churrasco quite expensive for what it was. We also got the chicken empanadas as an appetizer and it was his favorite part of the meal. Overall the vibes were nice and staff was kind.More infoHabana - Costa MesaPrice: Expensive• Cuban• Costa Mesa•4.7

Discover Orange County
Located in the sunny state of California, Orange County is known for its many tourist attractions. Considering that Orange County consists of 34 cities and is more populous than 21 U.S. states, you can bet the attractions include not only the best surfing beaches, the Balboa ferry, and sites like Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland but also a huge selection of restaurants. The warm climate enhances the growth of fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, which can be found in many restaurants. Although iconic California foods like Rocky Road ice cream and sourdough bread may have originated in other CA cities, they’re also popular in Orange County. Fast food places, drive-ins, and Korean barbecues are popular in this area, too. Smoothies in the summer, however, take the cake.
