Terrace by Mix Mix

Food and service at Terrace are consistently excellent, great service by Austin. Also a nice wine selection. We always enjoy sitting on the nice patio, especially on a nice day.

I love to drop by here for lunch. The restaurant is located on the second floor of the mall and there is a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. I tend to sit inside because it can get windy outside sometimes. I really enjoy their lunch menu. You choose a appetizer, main course, and dessert from a preselected menu for a flat fee of $32. I got the salad, pasta and sorbet. Very filling and the food was amazing! Service was great as well. There weren't too many ppl at lunch so our server checked on us throughout and was easy to wave down if we needed anything. The restaurant was overall very clean. Coming for lunch meant less ppl so it was a nice atmosphere. Although I have seen the occasional event usually held in the outdoor space. Overall, I had a good experience here.

Food was deliciousService was greatAmbiance was nice. We sat out in the patio and with the cold weather, couple heaters were put out which was perfect. My group of 8 enjoyed everything! Thank you!

This "sniffs in" at 3.75 stars...I am going to go off memory and may fill in details better later.GOAT CHEESE TOAST:-- creamy soft tasty goat cheese-- the toast is nicely done-- the greens and toppings utilized were on pointRATING = AGARLIC FRIED RICE:-- I never ask for the salt shaker but I did here as it was very light on flavor-- a gooier egg would have been even nicer-- nice up to moderate garlic flavor-- not crunchy rice but more softRATING = B+MANGO COCONUT UBE PANNA COTTA:-- it's nice tasting but it does not really work all combined-- the mango is super tart which overpowers everything else-- there is a layer of more tartness or distraction under the panna cotta-- the coconut panna cotta gets steam rolled by all the bold other flavors so this does not work IMHO-- lose the mango, keep the ube, lose whatever the layer is under the panna cotta-- they tried to "go big or go home" and I went home on this oneRATING = C+STICKY TOFFEE PUTTING W/BROWN BUTTER ICE CREAM?:-- I cannot recall the exact dessert but I think this was it-- presents as a sail boat-- the cake is moderately moist-- the boat sails are made of fried spring roll skin-- this has a big lean to HIGH sweet -- tasty for sure and all elements work together-- a bit too sweet for me to eat the whole thing but we sharedRATING = A-The dining space is nice and they even have a small outdoor section. Staff are solid. A bit overpriced for what you get. There are less expensive similar or better options nearby so I am not too sure about them.

Hidden gem in south coast plaza mall! Didn't expect this delicious Filipino food! Came in a Sunday for brunch. We had the Filipino brunch which came with fried rice, fried egg, pork cheek adobo, sweet longanisa and chicharon, as well as the beef wagyu loco loco with fried egg. For dessert, we had the Ube French toast with one ice cream and maple syrup. Everything was amazing and last but not least, our server Kenny T, was so attentive and helpful! great service! We will definitely be back :)

I actually thought this place was amazing! We have always passed by this place and never really thought to eat there. I actually didn't realize it was filipino food. The restaurant always looked nice and the waiter was really great.We were there for the brunch and the food was just fantastic. We got the ube french toast and the filipino brunch and everything on both plates was great. The filipino brunch really had all of our favorites, even starting with the chicharon and vinegar. Super good. The garlic fried rice, the longanisa, need I say more? I want to go again... now.

i went here for my bday as it had been on my bucket list for over a year. service was really slow as we had been waiting over an hour for our food. at the beginning the server said i would get a panna cotta for my bday but i received ice cream, was a little disappointed as i had been looking forward to panna cotta.ordered:- mushroom & sausage pizza: 5/10, not impressive, way too hard- green salad: 8/10, loved the yuzu dressing- shrimp lumpia: 9/10, loved the flavor, texture (crunchiness!), and sauce- pork cheek adobo: 10/10, SO GOOD left me wanting more- butternut squash agnolotti: 7/10, interesting dish to try but wouldn't want more

The food at Terrace by Mix Mix was undeniably delicious, but unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. My wife waited outside for almost 10 minutes before she had to approach one of the waiters to inquire about our reservation. It would have been nice if someone had greeted her or offered assistance sooner.Once seated, the experience didn't improve much. The waiter who took care of us seemed less than enthusiastic, which made us feel unwelcome. On top of that, we had to wait longer than expected for our orders to be served, which took away from the enjoyment of the meal.It's a shame because the food was truly fantastic, with well-executed flavors and presentation. If the service matched the quality of the dishes, this could have been a much better experience. Hopefully, they can address these issues to ensure guests feel more accommodated in the future.

What a wonderful experience! We went to celebrate my birthday, they were so accommodating. The staff were very kind and helpful. The restaurant was so clean and beautifully laid out. I really enjoyed the plants that gave the space an indoor outdoor feel. The food was so delicious, a yummy balance of sweet, sour, salt, and fat. Wonderful texture then menu was diverse and fun. I really enjoyed this dinner. Not pictured was the salmon poke tacos, the tostadas, and a Cesar salad. We ate well, and enjoyed every bite

I really wanted to love this place, especially after reading through all the amazing reviews and seeing that they are a Michelin recognized restaurant. But to say the least, I feel like most of the negative reviews were more accurate than the positive reviews were... Which really left me confused, frustrated, sad.Food: 7/10Service: 6/10Bathroom: 6/10Ambiance: 10/10Came as a party of six and made reservations prior, which I do like that they allow reservations. I was sad to see that they don't carry liquor but only beer and wine, which was OK for mimosas but not OK when all I craved was an espresso martini lol I was also super excited for their bacon wrapped dates and their bone marrow pizza... By the way, they let you add extra bone marrows for $10 each. But to be honest, the dates were way too sweet, the bacon was way too overcooked and the sauce they use was just overly sweet. When the bone marrow Pizza came out, it looked amazing but again was covered in sauce that was just overly sweet on an item that should be salty. I ended up cleaning the sauce off with a napkin before digging into the rest of my bone marrow.All of the reviews that talk about the inconsistency in the timing of when food comes out are accurate. One of our meals came out approximately 15 to 20 minutes before everyone else. It was just weird. They look to be staffed correctly because although they're busy, there are a lot of people around, but even then the service wasn't stellar, with the exception of one gentleman which I wish I would've got his name. To be honest, with all the amazing restaurant options in Orange County I won't be back here again.
