    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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dog friendly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio has a great atmosphere, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We can't wait to come back!

    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 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.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoyed sitting on the patio and it was pretty cool given there's shade in that area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely come back again!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute date night/hang out spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We went on a Tuesday & they do a special martini menu for Tuesday nights. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor seating area was so comfortable - perfect spot to get together with friends![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    Fries

    OMG, this was a recommendation, and I'm so glad we decided to check it out! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was a bit rock and roll, which I absolutely loved.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu was straightforward and easy to follow. My husband and I were seated by our gorgeous server (I'm not sure if her name was Taylor or Jordan, but she had the best manicure, dark hair, and the sweetest smile). First, I ordered two drinks--yum and perfectly balanced. Then, I got marinated olives with mozzarella cheese. These were the best olives I've ever had; they were well-balanced with the salty and creamy flavors. Yum! Then, I ordered their salad with apricot slices, goat cheese tossed in a vinaigrette dressing that would make you slap your mother. Then, the star of the show arrived: this thinly crusted fresh mozzarella and basil pizza with crust so crispy, it was like eating potato chips. INSANELY delicious! Then, our server had the nerve to ask about dessert--of course, we ordered the banana tiramisu and the panicotti. Both desserts were delicious, but my favorite was the banana tiramisu. This place was a 10 out of 10 for me. I'll definitely be back!

    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.

    Paloma with tajin rim

    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!

    Spaghetti and Margarita Pizza

    We had a great time for dinner around 7 on a tuesday! it wasn't super crowded and service was great. the food was delicious and i would come back just for the spaghetti!

    prosciutto pizza
    Najeya K.

    The pizza dough it's great, however I am not impressed nor will I be returning. The Tiger Shrimp Pasta was so gross, we had to have it remade. The Mushroom Pizza is the best thing on the menu probably. The marinara sauce is too thin & watery on all the other pizzas. The Cesar Salad is alright, nothing special. The Fries saved the day because they were amazing but why tf are they $10? lmao. Servers were a mess, so unorganized. We got so many items on the house because they messed up on so many things.

    Valet only parking.

    Innovation and reverence for the classics can coexist beautifully…read more Hidden inside Dick's Church in Costa Mesa, P10NEER is an intimate, space exploration-themed speakeasy with a vintage 1970s aesthetic, small sharable bites, and rotating seasonal menu. P10NEER reimagines traditional classic cocktails through inventive techniques (yay, SCIENCE), curated ingredients, and thoughtful twists to make each drink feel both nostalgic and a new adventure. The creativity and hospitality of the team at @pioneer.cm is out of this world. For an experience that goes beyond great beverages, P10NEER is well worth the journey. Place for quiet conversations with a plus one or a small group. Resy recommended. Walk-ins accepted. Save a seat at the bar for me! PS: New Mission!

    My friends and I have gone here a few times and its always been good. When we went this past…read moreFriday, it completely destroyed any good memories we had here. Let story time begin. We just finished dinner and made an online reservation for Pioneer at 10pm. We arrive at 9:45 and per the instructions of the online reservation, we check in with the bald bartender. Baldie asked what time the reservation was for and we said 10. He then asked what time it was and we say 9:47. He responded I will see you at 10 then. His tone was absolutely rude and condescending. It definitely rubbed us the wrong way, but we let it slide as we were having a great night and didn't want this to kill our vibe. We wait outside until 10:02 and the hostess calls us in. We are seated and immediately notice that the music is quite loud. Not blaring, but definitely need to speak louder than normal to carry a conversation. The bar itself is dim and seating is very tight. Our waiter comes by a few minutes later and asks if we've been here before. We say yes (at least 3 times), but it's been about a year since our last visit. He begins to refresh our memory stating that they specialize in making variants of classics and that all cocktail are premade and simply garnished and served. Also, the menu doesn't include the cocktail's main spirit in the description because they want you to taste the described flavor profiles and not focus so much on the spirit itself. We ask for recommendations and follow his lead and also order bread and butter as a snack. We are chatting and having a good time when we notice it's been a while since we ordered, especially for premade cocktails. That's when the waiter comes around and says they lost our order and retake our order. When the cocktails arrive a few minutes later, the waiter states that they're giving us another order of bread and butter on the house and also giving us a discount for the inconvenience. We were surprised but happily thanked him. He did a great job at identifying the problem and fixed it even before we could mention it. This guy is awesome. The drinks are unique/different. They're good but not amazing. Cocktails/food are 3.5 out of 5. We finish and ask for the check. The waiter brings by the mobile credit card reader and leaves it at our table and says there's no rush. We wanted to pay cash, so we waited for him to come back. Guess who comes back instead to close the bill? Baldie... and this is where it goes downhill. He says that they don't accept cash. My friend, being the goofball he is, says "are you sure?" and tries to insert the dollar bill into the chip reader slot. Baldie, having no sense of humor, literally says "you're pretty stupid aren't you?" We were all annoyed by that comment. Yes my friend is being stupid but obviously he's joking around. My friend then doubles down and said maybe it'll work if he slides the bill instead of inserting and he proceeds to slide the dollar bill through the credit card machine. Baldie then says "Wow, you really are stupid." At this point we were all like wtf, what kind of customer service is this. We simply insert our card and gave a shit tip, which I feel bad about because the actual waiter was AMAZING. So amazing, I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. What started as a great night turned into the most annoying experience I've ever had at a restaurant. Baldie if you're reading this, you shouldn't deal with customers at all. No customer service skills. No sense of humor. Stay behind the bar and pour your premade drinks. Better yet, I hope management reads this and decides you're more of a liability than an asset.

It's a fun spot to grab a drink for the ambiance, but as a full meal, it leaves a lot to be desired. The food itself is okay--the quesa birria tacos have decent flavor and the carne asada comes with a nice char--but given the steep prices, you expect way better execution and more generous portions. Paying high-end money for pretty standard street food staples dressed up on nice plateware just feels overpriced. Service was fine enough, nothing to complain about, but the value just isn't there for what they're charging. On top of that, parking can be a bit challenging since it's tucked away in kind of a weird location. If you're going purely for photos, fancy cocktails, and a trendy date night backdrop, it fits the bill, but if you're looking for great food value, there are much better spot-on Mexican joints in OC.
