The Almond Croissant was awesome. The Mochi Donut was average. Next time I want to try their cookies. The menu is always changing. Now they have a Lomo Saltado Burrito. It was great but it had barely any meat in it. If we were to get it again we'd ask for extra meat.The coffee is nice and bold.

Atmosphere: Black, white and gray theme with lots of plants. Modern and cozy. We had the following dishes:* Breakfast Sandwich - This one had cheddar eggs, hash brown patty, crispy bacon, onions, chipotle aioli in a brioche bun. I asked our server to slice it in half. So yummy! It was such a filling sandwich.* The Purdy Burger - This dish had double smashed patties, bacon, iceberg lettuce, onion, aged cheddar, habanero bbq ranch in a brioche bun. We also had additional side of asparagus.It was a tasty burger. The asparagus was flavoful too.We were lucky that it was not crowded here since we were on the other side of the mall. Great customer service as welll.

The prices are higher, the servers are indifferent, and seem unaware they are servers. We came for the fries and they have changed them to fast food fries. The short rib pieces in the short rib mash were so tough! Nothing was crispy in the crispy broccoli salad...What happened to our favorite mall restaurant The runners were hard working! But the food has to be better than this for $30 a plate!!!

Located on the first floor in the South Coast mall (not the main side). We came during lunch hours and it wasn't really that busy at all. There were many tables open but we still had to wait? So that was a bit odd, but we were seated about 5 mins later.Service was rather nice! We ordered the salmon chilaquiles, lomo saltado burrito, and a side of fries. The food came out at a reasonable time, which the fries came out first. The fries looked really golden and glazed, which I wish they would have at least garnished it with some herbs or seasoning from a restaurant like this, but it was rather plain. Taking the first few bites of these fries, it honestly tasted like McDonalds lol. It had this oily fragrance that McDonald's taste like, so it was a very familiar taste. It wasn't bad, but just also not a pleasant association when you think you're eating at a nice restaurant but eating "mcdonalds fries". Next came the entrees, which I mainly had the salmon chilaquiles. At first I thought the chilaquiles was pretty good, it had a nice taste and it wasn't too soggy that it still had it slight crisps. The salmon was also pretty good too. However, the more you continue eat this, it just tastes extremely salty. I think only a few bites of it were good, but not that enjoyable as meal. The salmon was also kind of random to add on a chilaquiles. Then trying the lomo saltado burrito, it was okay, I wasn't a huge fan of the peppers, and it felt like nothing really stood out from the burrito.Overall, the prices for the food do not really reflect well with the quality of these dishes. Maybe the presentation is nice, but everything just tastes "okay".

Great place for pastries and coffee, all day breakfast and dinner. They have an awesome happy hour during the week!

Without a doubt, this five star rating is completely earned. Having visited the restaurant on a friend's recommendation at first, I wasn't sure. However the meals rival any five-star restaurant I've ever been to. A party of five we pretty well tried most everything on the menu, including appetizers and desserts. We ate so much we literally had to be rolled to our car, but for every calorie and every bite it was a true culinary experience. Don't let looks fool you this is truly a restaurant that could be Michelin rated in the very near future.

I had the chicken banh mi for dinner and it was delicious! The pho-tato chips are unique, and I enjoyed the fries as well. There's a great variety of drinks. Service was helpful with checking on allergens in the food. The restaurant is in a nice location in South Coast Plaza mall and you can see what's happening in the mall from the restaurant seating.

This restaurant is located in South Coast shopping mall. It was a very quiet mall, doesn't appear to have much foot traffic at during brunch hours.When looking at the menu on yelp, we weren't aware that they had a brunch menu and dinner menu. We were excited for dinner menu items as it sounds so much better, but came here around 2:30 PM, before dinner was served. Waldorf chicken salad sandwich - 1/5 stars. $16 for a sandwich that looks like you can make at home LOL. Nothing amazing, just a chicken salad served on dry toast. Felt ripped off being served this.Smash burger - 4/5 stars. $18 + $6 for added fries. Comes with runny sunny side egg and two huge chunks of bacon. The patty was delicious and not so dry/over cooked. The bun was okay. For $18, I'd say this burger is worth it but on the pricier end. Chicken and Waffles - 3/5 stars. $18 for 2 pieces of mini taiyaki and 5 chicken wings. I like the creativity, but the flavor was just ok. While eating this, I felt like I had cotton mouth because both wings and the taiyaki were on the drier side5/5 service. Our waitress was very nice and patient with us. She described the menu items + portions to the best of her ability and was professional. Overall: 3.25/5 stars. Brunch menu is quite basic with meager portions. I'd come back for dinner options.

Really good fusion Asian brunch food at SCP! The service was top notch and I really enjoyed my Sakura latte. Looking forward to coming back to try more food!

this place was so slow going with no business and we came here on a Wednesday at 1:30 PM. The person who seated us was also our server. No personality, no service, no knowledge. She didn't know the wines, nor did she know what the fresh fish was, nor did she know what the rotating beer was, nor did she know the difference between The two Chardonnay's. Hopefully she is new and just learning. I wish she would have said she was just learning the ropes and we would have understood. Nope.The online menu changed and it felt like less options now. I don't know but was unimpressed with what were the changes.The meals were served and the Caesar salad with chicken was served without the chicken. We had to wait another 15 minutes and when they brought it out, they brought the chicken separate from the salad, which is bizarre since we had given them both plates.! The other two guests had their meals waiting, kinda.The salmon and salad was served with the smallest portion of salmon I have ever seen in my life in a salad. Really -4 bites and gone. Then they said there's another piece of salmon which came about 15 minutes later. What kind of third rate restaurant is this place?The third meal - the burrito was asked to be served with no cheese, other than mozzarella or Parmesan due to allergies. The beans were served with Cochita on top of them. they did get it right to put the meat on the side.So all in all for the price you paid it definitely wasn't a ROI. we were asked after the meal was almost completed if everything was OK. NO!!! But we were not rude so we didn't say how horrible their service was and they should've known because the owner was sitting right next to us listening to us bitch to each other.The two owners sat 10 feet away from us and never said hi ladies how were your meals? Or, thank you for patronizing our restaurant. The reason I'm pissed about that is because the waitress went over to the owner at least on four occasions and asked him questions that I asked of her that any fully trained waitress would know. Lost opportunity for sure. I dont understand how they received a 4.3 rating!!! They should get a one on service and a two on food.WE Will never return here. Could've gone to Newport Beach on the water and paid these prices, received better service and better food and better value.. all with a water view. And by the way, the togo boxes are cheap and flimsy. Couldn't get either box closed and I am very handy with good coordination. Been to plenty of restaurants who invest in their togo containers. Incredibly poor experience, to say the least, as this was supposed to be a special meal with a family member who has stage 4 cancer. What a bummer. They suck!
