Enjoyed this place. Great healthy menu. Lot of gluten free options. Nice atmosphere. Sometimes service is a bit off but usually it's fine. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you.

This was a great experience! I have tried other gluten free pizza that I think are disgusting, but their gluten free pizza was the best I have ever had! The severs were super nice and the food was excellent! It was suggested to try the truffle fries, and we were glad we did! Definitely recommend and we’ll be back!

I am OBSESSED with the gluten-free brownie, like top 5 of my LIFE. I'm not often in a pizza mood & love veggie-forward dishes so I ordered the 3-dish veggie offering called Farmers Choice for only $16.50. The sweet potato was cooked perfectly and so darn tasty. The broccolini hit the spot. And I was pleasantly surprised by the cauliflower combo of heat and mint.

Upscale looking restaurant that is priced accordingly. Food was flavorful, but did not sit well with some of us afterwards. They can modify dishes to be gluten and dairy free.

My friend and I ordered ribeye steak dinners, baked potatoes and grilled vegetables, and we both loved our dinners! I need to eat gluten free, and they were careful to avoid gluten ingredients and cross-contamination.

This is a fantastic place. The location is convenient to local business, the freeway, the mall and the theater. The food is excellent. They have a wife selection of seafood, including a really bar with daily selection of oysters. There are gluten free options and they are very allergy friendly. Overall I would recommend this place to any seafood lover looking for a nice upscale plane to dine.

Best poke place around. I live in Fullerton but whenever we are in Costa Mesa we make it a point to stop and get poke here. They have so many good toppings and for my wife even have gluten-free options. Would definitely recommend it for anybody who's looking for some good poke.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Social and it was phenomenal. The head chef, Jeffrey Boullt, crafted a custom 5-course menu for us that fit our guests’ dietary restrictions (some vegan, some gluten free, some allergies, some small children). Every course was beautifully presented and delicious. We were blown away by his talent. Prior to the dinner, we had some preparatory phone calls with Marisa, who gathered all of our details and coordinated all aspects of the evening. She made the process easy, provided a quote to us the same day as our initial phone call, and even went so far as to print our menus with custom designs based on the “vibe” of our wedding - such a thoughtful surprise! We truly appreciated the personalized service from the entire team at Social. It was the perfect venue for our wedding-eve. We will definitely be back!

Descanso Restaurant is right next to Mokkohi Shabu Shabu and The Kebab Shop or The Shops at Mesa Verde. Tons of amply parking and additional spots to visit around the vicinity. Ambience was clean and customer service wasn't too bad. Overall a fun experience and can't wait for them to open up at The Grove in Los Angeles. We had the Clasico Guacamole Hass Avocado, Lime, White Onion, Serrano Chiles, Cilantro, Tomato on the side and Tortilla Chips Crispy Carnitas Skillet Seared Slow Cooked Pork, Pico de Gallo, Pickled Jalapeños, Refried Pinto Beans, Shaved Onion, Serrano Chiles, Micro Cilantro and Corn Tortillas. LOVE this about the restaurant which is a WIN IMO Only fresh, high quality ingredients sourced from local farms. They do not cook with lard and don’t believe in can openers. A majority of their menu is gluten free
