- MMarionvipOrange County •20 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe walked up to the door and were greeted with a warm welcome and a complimentary glass of rose! Our server, Jordan, truly knew the menu and her suggestions were spot on and delicious. The Latin beat in the background gave a fun vibe to the room where there wasn’t an empty table in sight . Personally can’t wait to return. Thank you Habana for a perfect experience!More infoHabana - Costa MesaPrice: Expensive• Cuban• Costa Mesa•4.7

- GGregLos Angeles •42 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoIt is a wonderful place for lunch or dinner. I usually have lunch there with friends during the week. Since my wife was off work today and her Bday is tomorrow we had lunch there. The mgmt and staff were fantastic and super friendly. They had a table ready for us with flowers and a Happy Birthday handwritten greeting card, too. That was very special as you don't see handwritten cards these days. Overall, the meal was great and we'll be back there before Christmas.More infoSeasons 52 - Costa MesaPrice: Expensive• American• Costa Mesa•4.8
- BBonniePhoenix / Arizona •38 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoOur server was excellent and everyone was very attentive. We weren't rushed and had a nice Thanksgiving dinner. The dressing was good, wasn't too fond of the turkey though. I love their hot rolls! The pumpkin cheesecake was TO DIE FOR, and even though I am not a bread pudding fan, this one was good! We finished with French press decaf! Yum! You can also order off their FABULOUS seafood or steak menu. We stuck with traditional Thanksgiving fixe meal. I always enjoy dining at the Water Grill.More infoWater Grill - South Coast PlazaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Costa Mesa•4.8

Discover Orange County
Located in the sunny state of California, Orange County is known for its many tourist attractions. Considering that Orange County consists of 34 cities and is more populous than 21 U.S. states, you can bet the attractions include not only the best surfing beaches, the Balboa ferry, and sites like Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland but also a huge selection of restaurants. The warm climate enhances the growth of fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, which can be found in many restaurants. Although iconic California foods like Rocky Road ice cream and sourdough bread may have originated in other CA cities, they’re also popular in Orange County. Fast food places, drive-ins, and Korean barbecues are popular in this area, too. Smoothies in the summer, however, take the cake.
