    We had the worst experience at the bar, specifically with Jess. She was extremely rude and made us feel completely ignored. We stood at the bar for about 10 minutes before the other bartender finally acknowledged us, even though it wasn't busy at all. I even directly asked Jess if we could order. She clearly heard me and intentionally ignored me, which was incredibly rude and unprofessional. There was absolutely no reason for us to be standing there waiting that long when the bar wasn't busy. The other bartender eventually helped us, but the experience with Jess completely ruined it for us. Customer service shouldn't be this difficult, especially when you're literally standing right in front of the bartender trying to order. Definitely not the experience we expected.

    Best place for blackened salmon! The pink pony pasta is really good too. But we cannot live without the blackened salmon. Butter cake is also THE best dessert. We have also tried their wings, rolls, mash, fries, salads, Brussels, and steaks. ALL DELISH.

    We came here last night for the Thursday night line dancing! So much fun it was our first time and we were able to catch on to the dances quickly. Everyone is very welcoming and the instructor is easy to follow. The drinks are a reasonable price as well. The line dancing was $5 for the night and they have a bull in front to ride. I would recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a night of fun.

    Duck wings

    Came here on Friday for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. It was super easy to make reservations through open table. This country restaurant/bar is located at the triangle square in Costa Mesa where the 55 ends. The staff was super friendly and the chef created amazing dishes that we got to try. I loved the duck wings and tuna stack. Every dish was super flavorful and the tuna was fresh from Catalina. We also tried the lobster tempura, which was a hit! Highly recommend eating everything family style. For desserts we had the bread pudding and butter cake. They were a good shareable size and sooo tasty. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. Truly did not disappoint. There was a live band performing, and a bar area to end the night.

    This place is a versatile spot that offers much more than just the late night crowd and line dancing. It's a great choice for a proper sit-down date night, with a cozy atmosphere and a great wine selection. Service here was superb. The menu has a little bit of everything to satisfy different preferences, with a good mix of upscale mains--like steak, seafood, and pasta--alongside more classic comfort food, like wings and burgers. Everything my husband and I had was delicious, especially the tuna stack, wagyu bolognese, and a perfectly cooked medium ribeye steak. Our meal paired perfectly with a bottle of Caymus. Definitely make time for a full meal here before the late night crowd starts coming in. Overall, my husband and I enjoyed our time here and we'll definitely be coming back!

    Skillet brownie

    My wife and I love coming back to Westwood to eat and drink whenever we're near Costa Mesa. The Caesar Salad is always a classic and a great way to start the meal. ​For the main course, we ordered the Cajun Shrimp Pasta which had just the right amount of kick, and the Prime Ribeye was seasoned super well and cooked perfectly. It paired beautifully with the wine! You definitely have to save room for the Skillet Brownie for dessert, it's delicious and comes out very warm and gooey! The service was also excellent and we really enjoyed another dinner here!

    Truffle Mac n cheese

    Came during their soft opening almost a year ago and loved the duck wings, drinks, and how the place was set up for a nice dinner to country bar. Decided to try out their dinner... Made reservations for a Friday night at 8pm for 5 people. We got there an hour early, and got seated right away since it wasn't busy at all. Our waiter (forgot his name) was awesome! Entertaining, personable, and always checking in with us. Even when we were looking around for him another waiter noticed and asked what we needed! By 10pm the place was packed! They started clearing the tables on the dance floor and the live music started (the main reason I chose this place for dinner). The entertainment started strong and got everyone line dancing as soon as they started. What we ordered... Drinks: their version of an old fashioned (made perfectly, smoked at table), bananas and pajamas (tastes like a sweet whiskey, did not get any banana flavors), espressotini ( soo good, taste like chocolate milk) Apps: portobello fries (so good we ordered a second serving, first batch was perfect, second batch a little too salty), Brussels sprouts (must try! Crunch still remains even with sauce), truffle Mac and cheese (YES! shaved truffles on top and perfect cheese pulls), loaded mashed potatoes (potatoes were whipped with all the fixings mixed in) Entrees: Cajun shrimp pasta (huge shrimp served with the dish and very tasty, probably wouldn't order again, nothing special stood out), ribeye (cooked perfectly to a medium and so soft it just melts in your mouth, you get options of sauces and I chose chimichurri, my brother said the cowboy butter was good too) Great food, experience, and service... the only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars was my leftover ribeye was not packed with the rest of the food! Purposely ate only half to have the next day and when I went through the boxes, it wasn't there. Can't blame my waiter because there was another person that offered to pack the rest of our leftovers too. Definitely wouldn't let an appetizer affect my rating... but HALF of my ribeye (18oz for $72)!

    Tequila Shot
    Daniella P.

    I always knew this place was a nightlife spot but was pleasantly surprised at the food! For the drink, I ordered a Cowboy Shooter which tasted very fruity but wasn't too strong. We ordered a Tequila Shot which nearly killed me but I appreciated the orange slice over the lime slice because I think it helped more. We had a large group and the food came out extremely fast. I ordered the Wagyu Bolognese and it was so delicious. I finished it extremely quickly. We stayed for the nightlife and I rode the bull which was fun. The operator guy was very friendly. Overall, we had a great night.

    Bridal shower menu provided by the restaurant

    Recently had my bridal shower here and I am so happy I did! They were so accommodating and easy to work with. They provided a custom menu, added a cute image on their tv's and gave me the cutest hat for all my guests to sign. The food and drinks are amazing. I highly recommend this place for a date night or an event!

    Tomahawk Steak with Cowboy Butter and a side of creamy horseradish! Mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and a small arugula salad!

    This is my first time here. Took a few friends and the wife for a Birthday celebration, based only off the photos online. This place blew my expectations out of the water! We had dinner at 6:30, and LOVE the food! I've been to The Ranch for steaks several times, and the Tomahawk steak tonight was more tender, juicy, and seasoned perfectly! Better than a $200 steak at The Ranch in Anaheim! Very impressive! Service as absolutely amazing as well! I brought a bottle of Caymus. ($25 corkage fee) and they brought the correct wine glasses and Eric was Amazing! I love when a restaurant clears the table including silverware after course 1 and then resets the table with fresh plates and silverware for the main course! During our dinner (Friday night) they had Acoustic country music playing in the background. Not to loud, it was perfect! We could all enjoy the music, but also enjoy each other's company! WE WILL BE BACK SOON!

    Visited Westwood Coast again on a Friday night for dinner and the food was delicious! Westwood really knows how to do great steaks, we got the ribeye and New York strip, both were cooked perfectly! We had a big group and so we tried all the salads and pastas, they were so fresh and large sized - perfect for sharing! The sea bass and salmon were both great, my kids ate both very readily! The tuna poke stack is still one of my favorite appetizers, and the calamari was a table favorite too. We also all really enjoyed the brownie skillet dessert, it was freshly baked on a cast iron, so warm and delicious with ice cream on top!

    My coworkers and I have been planning a night out of country line dancing for quite some time and then, it finally happened! This place was recommended by a friend of a friend. This was my first time here but ironically, I pass this place three nights a week on my way to work. Located in Triangle Square, you won't find issues with free parking either in the structure or across the street. You enter through the double doors directly below the amazingly huge American flag. The interior is warmly lit at night but open and airy nonetheless. We arrived a little after 8pm on a Thursday evening, so we ordered food and drinks while awaiting the dining area to be converted to the dance floor. Order up: 1. Duck Wings, which were quite tender, prepared Korean style with gochujang, topped with sesame seeds, and garnished with fresh herbs. 2. Western Burger, with wagyu beef which my coworker enjoyed just as much. 3. Drop the Beet was our drink of choice, which was refreshing. All in all, we enjoyed our food and drinks even though their prices were comparable to those on the Las Vegas Strip...LOL! By the time we finished eating, it was perfect timing to burn off some calories and dance! Cheers and happy eating till next time!

    Happy hour

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.

Our server was initially prompt, but as the evening passed, we saw him less and less as the tables began to fill to the point we had to ask other waiters to refill our water. We ordered a bunch of entrees and sides to sample the menu. I ordered the Chef's Special which included a hanger steak, broccoli, and roasted potatoes, along with a side of the Chorizo Mac n Cheese. The consensus was that the food lacked seasoning. The sauces that were served with the dishes enhanced the flavor and added the needed seasoning. What I want to highlight is that they had cooked my steak just as I wanted (rare) and the broccoli was just how I liked it. Price is a bit steep, but you're paying for the aesthetic and atmosphere. Overall, while I'd be open to trying it again, it wouldn't be my first choice for Cuban food.

The side of olive juice we had requested, however, never came and mind you I asked 3 different people for it. After that, the table was effectively abandoned. I had brought a birthday cake and had to return to the host stand to ask for plates, a knife, and forks. What arrived was a stack of plates and a single knife. No forks. We waited about ten minutes, then ate the cake with our hands. Crazy. The bill came to nearly $500. As we were signing it, and as I was still finishing a drink that had reached the table only about twenty minutes earlier because our server had been absent, a man in a white shirt (assuming manager) approached and told us we needed to vacate the table for the next reservation. When I explained that we had not been greeted or served in a timely manner, he argued with me and insisted that we had been. For a large party, on a birthday, the service was inattentive and the closing interaction was dismissive and rude. My friends and I will not be returning!
