Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Costa Mesa

Hadn't eaten at Del Frisco's since many years ago in Dallas, TX. Spectrum Center location is well appointed and inviting. Food was very good, but pricey. Dinner for 4 with minimum drinks ran $300.00; so definitely not for the faint hearted :)

my first time at Puesto for dinner with my childhood friends (holiday reunion). food was excellent. Appetizers were priced at about where I expected. Three different kinds of ceviche. I had the skirt steak plate. It was a little pricey for the amount of food. But then again it is the high rent district next to Disneyland. Tacos looked good, probably the better value. The cocktails were a little pricey too. Margaritas ran 17 –20 $20. Again, it is the high rent district. It was not too noisy inside – – could still hold a conversation with those at my table. Service was excellent, and very attentive to our service needs. I’ll go there again, but will order tacos instead.

Jack from Scotland was our server and did an excellent job! He was very engaging and really seemed to enjoy his job. They have so many food choices and a price point for everyone and the restaurant is beautiful! We had the lemon cesar salad, avocado fries, wagyu burger and veggie taco plate. Everything was so good (besides the French fries that came with the burger, those need some work). Otherwise, the experience overall was an A+! We’ll definitely be back to try additional menu items.

Many visits …. Always very satisfied. No complaints, service and food subservience!

Service was great as usual with Nancy. We were celebrating my Daughter’s birthday and food was delicious.
