- OTOpenTable DinerOrange County •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food is always flavorful without being heavy or high in calories. Also the service is top notch. My drink refills arrived even before I realized I was running out. Our server was constantly anticipating our needs whether it was to clear finished dishes, refills or bringing the dessert tray at the right moment.More infoSeasons 52 - Costa Mesa$$$$• American• Costa Mesa•4.7

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.
