SISIG BURRITO- pork belly and chicharon! I usually love the sisig Filipino plate but saw this as a fusion in burrito form and decided to get it. It wasn't bad but I would pick another dish next time. I believe the chicken and waffles were good the last time I was here also. Definitely check this spot out for more of their sweet breakfast dishes

Excellent breakfast spot in Costa Mesa…read more We stopped by this morning around 9:45 am - parking was tight but we found a spot, and there was a 30 minute wait so we sat on the patio and ordered our food and drinks. My matcha latte was excellent, and the Hot Chick Benedict (a new addition to the menu) was tasty and filling. My friends enjoyed their food too. Bill for 5 people (before tax and tip) was $110. Happy to return.

Pull up a barstool and be a fly on the wall/people watch or step inside for a dining experience. This was my second visit here. The first time I had the Strawberry Cheesecake pancakes which were very good, a few more splashes of the cheesecake cream would have given it less dry texture. With that in mind, I don't eat syrup, so you could add that. This time we had the Mr. Presley, definitely the highlight of the meal. Do you love peanut butter and bacon? Then this is calling your name! Peanut butter rolled into the French toast and topped with bacon goodness! That sweet and savory combination that so many of us love. We also had the yogurt bowl, I know so vanilla right? Topped with fresh strawberries, banana slices, granola, toasted coconut, and other toppings, but it was pretty standard. That was to be expected. Finally, we had the Protein Lover Omelet with egg whites only. Based on the name, I expected it to be packed with different meats, but there really wasn't much meat inside. The eggs were fluffy, breakfast potatoes crispy but cold, and a side of sourdough. My meat lover omelette became a meat lover mystery... missing portions of bacon, ham, or sausage to match the description. A little about the service. Our waitress was friendly, prompt and gave us the extra time we needed to decide, which was nice because there's nothing worse than feeling pressured to make a decision. Overall, the place is creative and so are the menu options. A little about parking. Parking is behind the restaurant and can get full by 10 am on the weekends, so plan to go earlier if you want to try a weekend brunch date. Final take. The French toast alone is worth coming back for and I'd definitely return to try more of their sweet breakfast dishes!

The wait to sit wasn't too long. If you were interested, they do to-go orders too. For breakfast, I got the eggs and meat order with overeasy eggs and sausage. The sausage was my favorite part of the meal. The texture reminded me of Filipino longanisa and the actual taste of the sausage was so good!! I ordered hashbrowns instead of potatoes but was given potatoes. My server was so sweet about the mix-up. Next time I'm back, I'd like to try out the Dutch baby pancake with a side of sausage of course.

Our group visited Plums Cafe early in the morning, so it wasn't too busy when we went. All the food…read moresounded so good that we had trouble deciding even with the help of Yelp pictures. We knew for sure we would be getting the Dutch baby to share, but it was the separate entrees we couldn't decide on. Our waitress was super patient while we went through the menu. Boysenberry, Bacon, and Brie Grilled Cheese - If you like boysenberry, this dish will not disappoint you. It was extremely generous with boysenberry jam on it. So much that I actually removed some to try with the Dutch baby. This works very well if you can do sweet and savory flavors together as the bacon brings out a bit of saltiness. Vietnamese Pork and Egg Bowl - My cousin ordered this so I only got a small bite. The pork was so soft and tender. I love grilled pork too, so this tasted amazing. Dutch Baby - We tried a bite of it plain. We like things more on the lighter side, so we were okay with how little sweetness it had. Then we squeezed lemon over it and added powdered sugar like our server recommended and man the lemon was the magic. It's like biting into two completely different things. As plain, it's like a soft and super thing pancake. With the lemon? It really brought out a strong citrus flavor complemented by something fluffy and light.

I look forward to another visit for breakfast and to try the lunch menu.

The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Persian pizza, and everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. What really made the evening special was the owner. He came over to our table, welcomed us warmly, and treated us like family and friends. His genuine hospitality made us feel so comfortable and added a personal touch to the entire evening. The patio is absolutely beautiful, filled with gorgeous flowers and a relaxing atmosphere. It's the perfect place to spend time with family and friends. We enjoyed everything so much that I've already decided to reserve Bayshore Lounge for my next party. If you're looking for amazing Persian food, outstanding hospitality, and a beautiful outdoor setting, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back!

Hamid & Milad were very hospitable, friendly, and made sure we got everything we needed. The wings were super crispy, but juicy on the inside and the fries were solid as well! The mains were great as the chicken was moist and so flavorful that we didn't even need to add any extra sauce to it. They have an indoor and outdoor portion and was a great spot to host an event as they also had a sound system and TVs inside and outside.

Andrew made sure everything was perfect for our special day from tray passed beverages at arrival to timing of dinner salads being plated. There was never a moment we were without food or drink, and the entire event ran smoothly. And the flow of the outside patio and inside dining room made visiting with guests an ease. Chef Danny also hit it out of the park with the food, served warm & perfectly cooked. I had several compliments from guests, particularly the crab cakes which got rave reviews! Lighthouse is right above the docks, with an unobstructed view of the harbor that was the perfect setting for our nautical themed wedding. We even had wedding sailboat docked below. I can truly say there was NOTHING that could have been better! Thank you again Andrew & Danny. It was a perfect wedding day!
