    gabagool pizza
    Nina N.

    we got a variety of their dishes to try; food was overall decent. it wasn't bad but also wasn't incredible. nothing stood out to me, unfortunately arancini -- solid, i liked the sauce that comes with it spaghetti and meatballs -- texture of the pasta was interesting. sauce was good! gabagool pizza -- the pizza was DRENCHED with hot honey, like pools of it on each slice. i couldn't taste the other toppings garlic cheese bread (not pictured) -- i wasn't expecting this to come out as a smaller pizza but this was pretty good service was fantastic though! waitress was super friendly and attentive

    The waiter brought our food and drinks to the wrong table and it took them 15 minutes to notice We went in for a quick dinner which ended up being 2 hours. We had whole groups sit down and leave before we even got our food. The server made up for it however, he gave us the 2 deserts and the chef pasta special on the house The food was mid and way overpriced for what it is we got the margherita pizza and it was not anything special. The garlic cheese bread was okay. the dessert probably tasted good to some people but it was just not for me

    Summer salad

    Delicious once again! The happy hour menu features a delicious crusty cheesy pizza, a refreshing cocktail, and a summer salad. I'm already singing your praises!

    Dog friendly Came here after Fog Beach Friday night, grabbed a couple pizzas Brussels and fries Loose sausage too. Sausage was tasty with fennel, shared with Scout. Service is always great here and this is a shocker location, was an auto spot for years.

    Why 4 stars? Because the pizza was a nice final meal of our vacation. --- --- --- I was in Southern California for a week and ate like it was my job. 2145 Eats was our final stop before heading to the airport and calling it a vacation. We intended to go somewhere else initially, but pivoted to this. We ordered a margherita pizza, a prosciutto and burrata pizza and a caesar salad. All of it was really solid. We almost didn't order the prosciutto and burrata because it was sauce-less, but we ended up enjoying it. The salad might have been the best thing on the table, which is no slight against the pizza, but more about how enjoyable the salad was. Overall, we enjoyed our final stop. The parking lot is tiny and is valet-only, for $8, FYI.

    2145 Eats is such a gem! Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Our favorites were the lemon brown butter miso pasta, the blue cheese honey pepperoni pizza, and the crispy Brussels sprouts. The patio has a great atmosphere, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. We can't wait to come back!

    We stopped for dinner after failing to find a parking space at a nearby taco shop before a film festival showing at OCC. Parking was limited, especially considering the size of the restaurant, though this may be an issue to restaurants in this part of Costa Mesa. The waiter recommended the blue cheese honey pizza and it was great, albeit a tad too sweet for my tastebuds. The dough was delicious, but their baking process was not perfect -- see the giant burnt bubbles in the center of our pizza and crust (far beyond the typical "leopard spotting" on Neapolitan pizza). We also ordered a ribeye and it was fantastic. The purple mashed potatoes were a colorful treat. Our service was good, but kitchen turn around time was slower than expected. If you're on a time crunch, like we were, save this place for a casual date night. I'd love to come back and see if the burnt pizza was a one off.

    Blue cheese honey pizza

    From the moment we walked in we felt so welcomed! They added heat lamps for us because we got chilly too! The food was fantastic too! We got a few vegetarian pizzas to share, brussek sprouts, and burrata. It was a perfect amount for 5 people and we only had a few slices leftover. The mushroom pizza especially was delicious.

    We went to 2145 Eats after a workout and I couldn't think of a better meal. It was absolutely delicious! The pork belly is definitely one of the show stoppers there, we were OBSESSED with the flavor. The argula and dressing complimented the pork belly nicely. I also loved the garlic pizza we got, I am a huge fan of garlic and it had such a good amount! Our other pizza was delicious too, but I do prefer the garlic one better. The fries were also delicious, with a nice crunch and some house made sauces to compliment them. Since it just opened up, there was plenty of room for us and we were seated quickly. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and it was pretty cool given there's shade in that area. Would definitely come back again!!

    Sausage pizza
    Cynthia M.

    Ohhhh yeahhhh! Finally got to check this off my list. Their food does not disappoint!! The cocktails are beautifully crafted and they taste amazing!!! Their Caesar was delicious and large!! Enough to share! The pizzas!! We got 3 different ones to share and they were all delicious!!! My favorite was the Calabrese with hot honey. The sausage one was our other fave. Parking is valet or you can find parking across the street.

    A really cool spot with great food and drinks. Came on a Thursday night around 5:30 and there was no wait. Sat on the back patio which had heaters. Dog friendly restaurant FYI. Our server, either Melissa or Marissa, was awesome. Very friendly, honest, and knowledgeable. She was perfectly attentive and just an all around great server which is not altogether common nowadays. We had the Brussels sprouts which were so good but a smaller portion than I expected. That could have been because they were on HH. The blue honey pizza was amazing too! Great flavor combo. Loved the crust!! Wood burning ovens are a totally different experience than I'm used to- the crust is almost like naan bread and not a typical pizza crust. Would I come back? Probably not because I live in Laguna niguel but I would recommend this restaurant to those who have never been. My Paloma was delicious too!

    Had dinner earlier today and had a great experience. Our server Landon was attentive and great with giving recommendation. The garlic cheese bread was really delicious and more like a pizza. Had the prosciutto and burrata pizza, and honestly was pleasantly surprised, dough was soft and the cheese and prosciutto are fresh. The dessert was super good too. Will for sure be going back to try their other dishes.

    mushroom pizza
    Ainsley J.

    Such a cute date night/hang out spot! We went on a Tuesday & they do a special martini menu for Tuesday nights. The outdoor seating area was so comfortable - perfect spot to get together with friends! Our server Hailey was so sweet and the food came out so quickly & was so amazing. We got their burrata snack as an appetizer, it was a 10/10 and we ate it too quickly to get a pic. The mushroom pizza & caesar salad were delicious and tasted so fresh. I can't wait to go back and try more pizzas!

I asked about seating for two and was simply told to wait outside with no explanation. After 15 minutes, I asked for an update and was again given a vague, dismissive response. Why not give a yes or no answer to whether accommodations can be made? There were several parties waiting in the brightly lit hallway with no A/C, despite plenty of tables seemingly available. At one point, another party peeked inside and a young kid employee with an Afro came out and rudely waved his hands in a "what do you want" manner without saying a word. Two waiting parties immediately left, and we decided to do the same after witnessing that. Another party with a reservation waiting told us this happens regularly and that the staff can be rude. Whether that's their normal practice or not, it was enough to make me not want to give this place my money. We ended up going to two other bars nearby that the one party waiting there recommended and had a completely opposite experience, welcoming and respectful. Definitely disappointing and don't recommend wasting your time as there's so many other places to try.

I originally wanted a different empanada, but one of the ingredients conflicted with an allergy and couldn't be removed. The staff was welcoming and helpful in pointing out which dishes and components contained it, so we went with the Cheese Empanadas to be safe. The food came out within about 10 minutes. I really liked the pastry on the Cheese Empanadas because it was light and airy, although the cheese filling itself was a little heavy for my personal preference. The El Churrasco was good overall. I enjoyed the chimichurri, corn, and rice, but the skirt steak itself was just okay compared to others I've had. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. Overall, Habana is a solid option for Cuban food and everything we tried was good, but nothing particularly shined for me. I'd still be interested in coming back and exploring more of the menu.
