- QQuangOrange County •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe host was really attentive and always helpful. We had an amazing night for my girlfriend's birthday. We ordered a rib eye and fillet mignon as the main courses, and they were really delicious and cooked perfectly. I don't recommend the popular cocktail, Stoli Doli, as there isn't much pineapple flavor in the drink, but maybe it is because we like more on the fruity flavor side when drinking a cocktail. High-quality food and top service as we expected when coming to the restaurant. We will come back.More infoThe Capital Grille - Costa MesaPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Costa Mesa•4.8
- TTracySan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI've been going here for years because it's always reliable with great food. It was very busy last night because the theater had 2 shows. When it is that crowded, it is very noisy. Bottom line, reliable and great, especially if you're going to the theater.More infoWater Grill - South Coast PlazaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Costa Mesa•4.8
- LLouisVIPOrange County •73 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoS52 is our go to place for some pre-show dinner. The Crab cake, Ponzu broth - poached Butterfish, and grilled Sea Scallops were really delicious 😋, and the wine pairing of the Tasmanian Jansz Brut Rose with the Crab Cake, as well as the La Crema Chard from Monterey with the Scallops and the Paul Hobbs Chard-Crossbarn from the Sonoma Coast with the Butterfist were excellent! A delicious meal and highly recommend. Eric our server was awesome taking us through the expansive seasonal menu, and attentive service. Cheers to the folks at S52 for another great experience. We really miss the lounge piano player S52 used to have in the lounge. See you again next month! :0)More infoSeasons 52 - Costa MesaPrice: Expensive• American• Costa Mesa•4.8
