- LLalavipOrange County •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoSeasons 52 is one of our main "go-tos" for a business lunch. That being said, sometimes the service can be a tad slow. (However, to be fair, we didn't tell them we were on our lunch hour.) The food is ALWAYS delicious and it is amazing that they can create dishes all under 600 calories. The shot glass desserts are a must-have!More infoSeasons 52 - Costa MesaPrice: Expensive• American• Costa Mesa•4.8
- OTOpenTable DinerOrange County •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 2, 2023Food was incredible! Perfect place for a cute dinner with friends or a date night. Drinks were good and definitely strong, but no complaints on that. Service was good, our server lagged a bit at the end but the majority of the time he was quick and helpful.

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.
