Tried chicken shawarma kebab and food was actually good, I finished it all. Although this was not a typical Shawarma, it was cooked on a horizontal grill like Greek souvlaki. Service was also good. Restaurant needs a little bit of cleaning, tables and seats were clean, but under the chairs and beneath seating area did not look clean. Plenty of parking outside.

Great service, cute restaurant, and the food was very flavorful and yummy. Chicken wasn't dry and had a charred taste, and the beef was soft. I enjoyed the crispy French fries more than I thought I would, and the tabouleh was a good vinegary, herby salad that was a palette cleanser from the other spices. Easy, plentiful parking, and somewhere I will be coming back to.

Food was great ! We enjoyed lunch very much . My husband was disappointed they didn't serve beer but they do have a wine selection . You order at the counter but food comes out to your table ! Nice touch ! It was surprisingly slow for a Sunday lunch . You are only about 1 mile (or less from the beach) they also have a few tables outside which later in the afternoon would be better to sit at (the building will provide the shade) . I enjoyed the music . We both ordered the smaller meal (they offer two sizes) Husband ordered the lamb kebabs (loved it ) and I got the falafel plate !!! Delicious!!

Decided last minute to try this spot. Walk in and order the kebab plate to go. They were very quick on completing my order. The kebab, cucumber yogurt, and humus were amazing. Highly recommend this plate and very filling.

Nice and creamy hummus with pine nuts.  Very good!

I've had lamb before, but I wanted to try it again. It's tender, but a bit too gamey for me. I was told the beef chunks are filet, so obviously very tender. Not too sure about Falafel, but the influencer on the reel I saw said it was the BEST he's ever had. The hummus was very creamy and I love pine nuts! Thumbs up on the hummus. Got the beet salad (which was just roasted beets, and the Mediterranean salad, which I've had way better. Just ok) Next time I need to order more veggies. Spent about $60, but we got 3 meals out of it, so not bad. It's in the Mama's on 39th Center. The owner was nice & friendly.

While not located within South Coast Plaza, D'vine is a popular dining option especially the Santa Ana location is near the intersection of South Bristol Street and MacArthur Boulevard, which is close to the South Coast Plaza Mall and Segerstrom Center for the Arts. DVine is known for the quality and flavor particularly the chicken shawarma, filet mignon kebabs, grilled chicken and hummus. The garlic sauce is fluffy, flavorful, and a perfect complement to any dishes. The restaurant is cleaned and well-maintained, with a pleasant ambiance. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. DVine Mediterranean Experience is a popular choice for those seeking authentic and flavorful Mediterranean cuisine. For dessert, they serve the classic Baklava. The Baklava is rich and perfectly sweet topped with chopped nuts. DVine recently launches the Dubai chocolate cookie skillet topped with ice cream and drizzled in chocolate and pitasio sauce. The cookie is freshly baked and simple melt in your mouth. It tastes amazing with Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee $2 The service is friendly, professional, and attentive. I appreciate the staff's willingness to offer recommendations, answer questions, and ensure a positive dining experience.  What I got: -Half Chicken -- Grilled -Chicken Shawarma-- Thinly sliced chicken seasoned with shawerma seasoning. -Beef Kebab -- Grilled Filet mignon -Falafe -- Lightly fried Chickpeas - Parsley - Onions. -Mix Any 2 Or 3 Proteins-- Beef and Chicken -Shrimp Kebab-- Grilled Marinated Shrimp.

- Falafel Pita - French Fries

Ordered a falafel sandwich and fries to go Fries are seasoned fyi - but I wish they were plain fries They seemed to be understaffed and there was a new employee there so food took a little bit of a long time The falafel was pretty good but what I didn't like was it was wrapped up tight like a burrito and not cut in half This steamed the Lettuce salad and pickles and made all the stuff that should be cold and crispy warm and soggy instead

Me and empty plates

I eat Mediterranean food pretty often, and this place honestly stands out. You can tell the meat is cooked with care, and I liked that they grill it fresh right in front of you when you order. The owner, Steve, was very friendly, and the staff overall were welcoming and easy to talk to. Portions were generous, especially for the price. We ordered lamb, beef, and chicken. The chicken was tender, and the lamb didn't have that strong smell that sometimes turns me off. What surprised me most was the beef--it was much better than I expected and reminded me of a steak. I'd recommend ordering it medium. I've mostly had Mediterranean food from chain spots around OC, and this felt more like a proper, well-made meal rather than fast-casual. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

Dvine is divine! We came in the late afternoon and perhaps since it was outside of the normal lunch/dinner rush, there was only one person working and had to do all the order taking/cashier and also food cooking/bringing dishes out to the customers. All that being said, it meant that there would be a longer wait for our food. But the food was worth the wait! The plates all come with 2 sides. The hummus (always the obvious first choice!) was great and the pitas were amazing (slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside). The other side we had was just ok - mediterranean salad was not so much a salad but just some veggies (cucumbers/tomatoes/bell peppers). Kefta was tasty, and the chicken kebab was quite soft and not dry at all. Beef skewer was a bit chewy but also flavorful. Also, the rice the plates came with was *chef's kiss* with the flavor and I couldn't get enough of it. I was underwhelmed by the chicken shawarma wrap though. I wanted to like it with all the ingredients. The size was massive (good for sharing unless you're really starving), but it was too much oil inside and felt like a bit mushy overall. Kids meal - one skewer and either fries or rice. Ample seating inside, and just a nice casual vibe. All in all, would definitely come back!

Woww absolutely delicious food!!! Came here for the first time to have my birthday dinner and I couldn't be happier. The staff is very friendly, food tasted like it was made with love. Every bite is bursting with flavor

It's the most amazing flavor you can imagine 5 stars all day long.

Wow what an amazing meal almost nothing left on the plate. Beef kabobs spicy hummus and red cabbage yummmmm

How have we not been here! Such a hidden gem! Delicious juicy meat and a lot of sides to choose from. The flat bread was so fluffy and yummy i wanted more! Must try! The place is hidden but in a busy strip mall. Service was great.

It was so spacious, with indoor seating, bar seating, and outdoor seating. I want to give a shout-out to our server, Hope V. They were understaffed, and she was hustling every table. The menu is huge. They have a lot of yummy options. They even have a food section for dogs. It is a pet friendly place. Now let's talk about the food. The food was delicious. I had an Ahi Tuna Sandwich. It had Fresh tuna steak, gently seared, served with chipotle mayo, sliced avocado, tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, onion, jalapeños, served on a brioche bun. It was a hefty burger. I had to cut it in half to pick it up. They also have a Tuesday special. It is a choice of 3 tacos for $17.50. My partner had the sea bass taco, blackened shrimp taco, and a Baja taco. They were also big. We expected small tacos, but they were huge. They also come with a side, and my partner got corn on the cob. We expected the corn to be a little charred, but it wasn't. They also have a special drink on Tuesday. I had a Golden Road Street Cart for 5 dollars. Lastly, I had their mud pie, and let me tell you, it was huge!!! I didn't get to finish it. You can find Shandy's Beach Shack at 315 Pacific Coast Hwy, Huntington Beach, CA 92648

We asked what she recommended and she said either the fish and chips or the fish tacos. We decided to go with the fish and chips and a bowl of the clam chowder. The food came out super hot and fast. The clam chowder was so hot that I burned my mouth and throat eating it, but it tasted amazing. I prefer a little thicker clam chowder, but it did have some nice large piece so clams in the chowder which was a nice surprise. The fish and chips were well seasoned. I was expecting a tempura batter, but this was more of a Louisiana corn meal batter. It had a nice crisp on it. The fries had a delicious seasoning on them as well. We had a large portion of fries to go with the 6 pieces of fish that my husband and I shared. The coleslaw was very crisp and refreshing. It was a vinegar based but had a sweet undertone. The whole meal was good, but was a little different than what we expected. Update: Contacted restaurant about the hot calm chowder as it severely burned my mouth and throat. Very hard to contact the owner. The manager hung up on me and was very rude about it. I would watch yourself and be careful eating the clam chowder as it scalds the mouth.

Food was amazing everything here is so fresh. Everything is hand made including the dessert…read more Highly recommend 10/10

Came here on a Sunday after pretty much every other restaurant nearby was packed. I'm normally…read moreskeptical of beach restaurants because I feel like you end up paying more for a mid meal just because of the location, but G's Boat House actually surprised me. The inside has a fun beach/bar vibe with a lot going on, and most people around us were hanging out and drinking. We tried the Cajun grilled mahi mahi tacos, Baja style fried cod tacos, grilled shrimp tacos, ceviche, regular fries and sweet potato fries. The mahi mahi was probably my favorite and actually my first time having mahi mahi in a taco. The ceviche was really good too. The shrimp could've used a little more of that grilled flavor, though. The tacos aren't necessarily the flavors I'd expect from a traditional Mexican restaurant, but I don't think that's really what they're going for. My only thing is that I think corn tortillas would've elevated some of the tacos more than the flour tortillas. Between all the flour tortillas, chips and fries, the meal also got VERY filling pretty quickly. We also tried the Mai Tai and Lemon Drop and wow, they definitely did not play with the alcohol. We had to go walk those off afterward. Overall, surprisingly good for a beach restaurant and I'd come back. I'd probably switch up what I ordered next time and go heavier on the seafood and lighter on all the carbs. 7.5/10

The food was average but it's basically a bar by the beach…read more So come here to drink alcohol The soda was flat the service was good but the waitress was by herself so she did great You walk in and have to seat yourself but let someone know if not you will be waiting at the table for a while.
