   Not the same Vibe as it used to be. The lights were way too bright for a Saturday night. Food was good, service was good but they need to change something up. There was barely any customers too for a Saturday night prime time.

   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “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!”

   I came in here for brunch time and it didnt disappoint!! First and foremost, I really loved the interior of this restaurant. It’s modern yet you can feel the socal beach vibes! The restaurant has a large dining area so plenty of comfortable seats to choose from. I love that they have specialty menu for brunch and cocktails that made it easy to choose from. We decided to order: Social Benedict Steak and Eggs Fall Harvest Avocado Toast Pina Party Flamingo Float We really enjoyed our dining experience and will definitely return in the future :)

   Had a fantastic dining experience at Social Costa Mesa! The service was top-notch, especially thanks to Lindsay, who was attentive and made great recommendations. We enjoyed sampling their new fall cocktails, with the Faster Young Ft. being a standout—unique and packed with flavor. We also loved the new wine selections! The octopus appetizer was perfectly cooked and delicious, and our table really enjoyed the burger and sea bass—both were crowd-pleasers. Highly recommend for a fun night out with creative dishes and superb service!

   We had a lovely dinner at Social last night. We tried three different craft cocktails, two of them, were gin based, and the other was tequila based. All three of them were delicious! The tequila one was called "Sorry, Not Sorry" and the two gin ones were "Big Fig Energy" and "Nice Life." As a starter, we had the Beets and Burrata, which was absolutely lovely! There was a great blend of items, and it was perfect flavors for fall! For  the mains, I had the fried chicken sandwich, and my husband had the pozole rojo, which was a large pork shank in a pozole soup with hominy and all the proper fixings on the side. For dessert, they brought us out some fresh baked chocolate chip macadamia cookies and churros with a caramel dipping sauce. Our waiter Matt was a great server. He was friendly and described each of the dishes perfectly to us. He was very attentive and let us know what his favorites were to order as well. The manager, Marisa came out to check on us and make sure everything was going well. Everyone was so very kind and we had a fabulous experience! We look forward to going back to try more items on the menu next time! We will be back again soon! Thank you Social for the fabulous ambiance, meal, cocktails and service!😋

   Social in Costa Mesa has been a must-visit for us on every trip to SoCal since 2018, and it never disappoints. We were sad to see the Huntington location close, but the Costa Mesa spot still delivers an incredible experience. Gabriel took amazing care of us during our visit—his service was attentive and made the night extra special. The atmosphere was lively, and the food was fantastic as always. Social continues to be a highlight of our trips, and we can’t recommend it enough!

    I recently celebrated a pre-anniversary dinner at Social Costa Mesa, and it was a fantastic experience. Each dish we ordered was unique and delicious, making for a relaxing evening. The cozy atmosphere was enhanced by live music, and the friendly staff offered great menu recommendations. The steak was perfectly cooked, and my husband loved his gourmet burger and perfectly crispy fries. With a vibrant, millennial crowd and solid cocktails, it's a fun spot for casual gatherings with friends. Highly recommend.
