Came here for Sunday brunch and was very pleased. Made reservations in advance and seated pretty quick. Tables started to fill up, so come early. Food was delicious and many good cocktails available.
Was out running errands on a Saturday morning and thought I'd swing by for a bite, we had been looking at their menu for a few weeks so it was a good opportunity. Pulled and directed strait to their valet parking - thought this was a little strange, we are talking about 11am in Costa Mesa, there is no parking shortage. Asked the attendant where the self-park was - they told me to go park in Wild Goose's lot. So I did. Then I went to Wild Goose for brunch. They make a great Bloody Mary. Two stars for the good advice from valet guy, Wild Goose was a plesent surprise.
There's parking in the back but valet only. Price is $4. Nice environment with outdoor patios. The food is good and less greasy than some of the other Mexican restaurants.
