Best Breakfast Restaurants in Costa Mesa

Waitress was a little confused and initially brought the wrong tea. She was apologetic and may have been new. My only complaint is there was a small dog at the table near us that was barking off and on. Felt they should have been asked to take the dog out of it couldn’t behave or stop barking. Luckily it was towards the end of our time there but feel bad for others who just got there. Other than that had a great time and enjoyed the food.

Our group of 20+ met for breakfast/brunch at Mimi's, who provided us with a private room. The service was outstanding, our orders were taken and delivered promptly...with no errors. I complement the staff for their attentiveness and pleasant demeanor, and would highly recommend Mimi's if you are in need of a restaurant to host a large group. As for the food, they delivered what we expected, and everyone was please with their meals, whether they ordered breakfast or lunch.

I’ve been back to O Sea several times since my last review on open table. The overall quality of the experience makes this an exceptional value as well as incredibly satisfying. The food is very delicious, well thought out, presented perfectly and so pleasing to the taste buds! And now they have wine flights! This makes exploring the wines Mike has curated incredibly fun. Mike has expertly assembled wines from the US and the world, that are priced reasonably and are of higher quality than most restaurants. And now with the wine flights you can try out more of them without feeling like you are over indulging. My hat is off to his cook and wait staff, especially Sara, Christie, Alondra and Elise. They have all waited on me on different occasions and are superb, friendly, helpful, timely and very knowledgeable. Mike trains them very well and that means the service is consistent every time. If you are this far into my review and you’re still wondering if you should try it out, let me say you will be sorry if you don’t. This is a great place for seafood and wine.

The Thanksgiving Day dinner was excellent. It was crowded and service was very busy. My only complaint is with OpenTable. When I went onto the Mimi's website to make the reservation, it directed me to use the app. It appeared to work seamlessly. I received a request through OpenTable, both through text and email, to confirm my reservation, which I did. However, when I showed up at the Mimi's Restaurant, they did not have my reservation. Apparently there were many others who used OpenTable, and the restaurant did not have their reservations. This appeared to be an issue between OpenTable and Mimi's. Obviously on one of the busiest days of the year, it caused chaos. There was already a long list of walk-ins that the employees were attempting to accommodate, only to have to add those who had OpenTable reservations that did not go through. There were many angry people who simply left the restaurant not willing to wait behind all of the walk-ins. Thanks to the employees, who scrambled to find us a table, we had to wait but not a very long time. I give five stars to Mimi's and zero stars to OpenTable who needs to fix their system. Will not use them again.

This is a little gem of a restaurant tucked into a pretty old Spanish colonial building. Their food is fresh and delicious. It is a perfect venue for a lovely late brunch or lunch on the patio.
