Best Bistros in Costa Mesa

Always a very welcoming environment. Great service, great food!

I went to lunch today with three other coworkers and everything was wonderful I have the chop chop salad and it was a really good size very good flavor we also shared a side of fries the fries were really crispy on the outside and soft in the inside in a really pretty color and good flavor everything was a really good price I think my salad was only about $17. The service was really fast and he kept the drink refills coming over all a very good experience.

We were excited to come here as soon as we heard the amazing couple who run Michelin-starred Heritage in Long Beach opened a more casual but still unique bistro featuring Heritage chef de cuisine Patrick Clayton, and we weren't disappointed. The mid Century hotel premises are visually fun, feels like you're on a movie set, the cocktail menu was unique top to bottom and nothing on the menu disappointed in the slightest. A chopped endive salad with tastes of dates and bit of Humboldt Fog balanced wonderfully with mussels from SaltSpring Island in BC with its broth just inviting dipping every bit of bread from a local farmers market star. We shared the roasted chicken with an au jus sauce so good we tried (unsuccessfully) to coax the secrets from the staff, with the rib cap beef, an unusual and wonderful cut, and the pork which was perfect served with a salsa-like relish. Relaxed, with excellent attentive service (kudoes to Christopher). We'll go back soon (if we can still get reservations! took us months to get into Heritage last year!!)

We went there for a post Christmas dinner. We love the food there and the staff is always so nice. We go usually every other month and just enjoy being there. I had the hanger steak which was prepared perfectly and had the red wine sauce. My guest had the lamb shank and loved it. The food is always excellent.

Original and delicious! Can’t find anything like it anywhere else.
