Old Vine Kitchen & Bar

*Review for breakfast only*. Parking at this time is no problem- very refreshing. They have many unique menu items. I stuck with the chicken sausage and eggs. Pro- Fried green tomatoes! Con- No bacon. How is that possible. There aren’t a lot of quality breakfast places in this area so I will return.

Fantastic amazing food and service!

We just finished our TSA pre Screen interview and decided to go out to dinner. Did some google searches and found the Old Vine Cafe highly rated so we headed over to see for ourselves. Yup. The reviews are right. We splurged for the wine tasting menus. My wife had the original and I had the premium because I love blueberries. Lamb chops with blueberry demiglaze. Every one of the dishes was delicious and the server was purrfect but, I had to say it. I didn't taste the blueberries. It was still great but I didn't find the blueberry taste I was looking for but that in no way diminished the taste and quality of the food I ate. I love eating out on the patio too.

The food and service was good. It is a bit over hyped and the food is waaay more expensive than it's worth. Came here for brunch one Sunday and luckily there was no line which is great but unusual. We got the 'open faced' for $15 to share because the portions are kinda big. The waitress was very nice, fast and efficient. We got our food pretty quickly after we ordered. It was very tasty, dripping in this special slightly spicy creamy sauce. The biscuit was inside a pile of eggs but slightly cold. The chicken sausages and potatoes are very good.

Pretty big fan of this place. I have had lunch here and it was pretty clear that this was going to be a fun place to return to. The layout is quite nice and the eclectic nature of the surroundings make it feel like a hidden gem. Of course you must drink the wines. Everyone here is quite familiar with the choices so you should have no problem finding your way around.... Make sure to try the blue cheese cheesecake amazing...

Great place for brunch. We've been coming here regularly and service has always been consistent. Portions are large and good enough for sharing. Great coffee as well.

We had the beef tongue omelet and fresh blue berry French toast. Both were quite good but French toast was a tad on the pricey side. Overall good food and pleasant experience Updated 8/26/18Just came back and had the rabbit mole, goat omelette and banana pecan crepe. The rabbit was really tender but the star for me was the corn bread. Everything else was good as well.

We went out for our anniversary and it wasn't great. We ordered our food and then asked for bread. Close to 30 minutes later, I asked if they could please bring the bread (I was starving). They said that they were working on it. Working on it? You take a roll, you heat it up, you cut it, and you drizzle olive oil on it. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think bread should take 30 minutes. 5 minutes later, the server asked if we needed anything... yeah the bread! Oh they're still working on it, and this response came with some attitude. This better be some special, fu*king bread. Soon after, the food AND bread arrived together. My dish was too salty and the bread looked like my little cousin prepared it (although at least the bread was good).Not a great way to spend our anniversary.

Went for a super filling breakfast! Very creative and delicious menu! Next time I will try lunch (been here for dinner)... You won't be disappointed!

I had a good experience there.Their foods are made with good quality and taste amazing!They have unique styles on their foods and big portion ( enough for two people ).I’d also like to give 5 more starts for their very friendly staff ⭐️

Terrific choices for breakfast and lunch. Dinner Tuesday-Sunday. Mimosas were good. Wine choices appeared to be extensive. Showed a lot of imagination in menu options. Can't wait to return again! This cafe is toward the back of The Camp Both indoor and outdoor tables. Look for it.

We love Old Vine! We get a tasting menu with wine pairing and then order individual dishes. The food is always wonderful and the wines are always delicious. I highly recommend. Uber/Lyft there because parking can be bad and the wine pours are generous.

Great food, great place and a full bar. Super friendly.

I ain't gonna lie.... They deliver dtla and it doesn't even take long. These guys are good. I'd have it twice a week but I must behave. Good job guys. I'll probably order right now though . Best I've had in CA.

I adore this place. Fantastic, varied menu, wonderfully helpful and courteous wait staff, and a neat part of town. I had a huge goat omelet with gobs of tender, lean, boneless meat. Also a side of scrapple, which was absolutely delicious - not at all like the pasty rubbish that you get in the market. I cannot wait to come back. What a find!

We had breakfast here and it was so good. The banana pecan crepes were delicious! Would definitely recommend and will be going back.

This restaurant had an eclectic menu with goat, rabbit and lengua. My husband had lengua omlette. It was so tender but quite spicy. If you don't want it that spicy, just ask for less or no chiles on top. I had the southern...also very delish! The green tomato slice was very thick...I think would've been more delish if it were skinnier. But overall, very good. We'd definitely go back.

Delicious in every way. Chef Mark McDonald had put together an amazing establishment. The attention to detail in flavors and tasting menus pleases everyone, and his work ethic show in the excellent scenarios, both decoration and service. Great job Mark!

Without a doubt one of the best breakfasts in Orange County. The openface (terribly captured in my picture) is unbelievably addictive. I have only made it in for dinner once but the stroganoff was the best I have ever had.

Ultra high end gourmet breakfast! The open faced breakfast is great with a biscuitwrapped inside a sausage omelette, and topped with chipotle gravy. The caramel apple French toast is good with made from scratch caramel sauce. It comes in the style of bread pudding, but it's a bit dry. The coffee is amazing and served with nice heavy cream, and a complimentary little biscotti.

Hands down- favorite brunch in socal!First off the coffee is amaze! Its a delicious italian brand coffee that comes with a small piece of homemade biscotti. The food does change around a bit but I usually prefer to get the omelette because you get such a good variety of foodWith the omelette you get:An omelette (obviously)The most delicious spanish style breakfast potatoes everA choice of side (english muffin or toast, I recommend the muffin) and your choice of garnish. I prefer the kiwi marmalade but the boyfriend likes the pistachio butterIf you prefer something heartier and heavy i'd get the "open face" Its a biscuit covered in cheese, italian sausage, eggs etc and covered with gravy. SUPER fillingThe wait is a bit of a pain...anywhere from 60-90 minutes if you go on a weekend during busy hours so try to go at around 10am and theres usually no wait. Servers are distant but always nice and professional

Wow, I was very impressed with this restaurant! Great food and atmosphere. Will come back again!

Great drinks and great service! Mitch, our bartender, was amazing!

An excellent meal every time. The staff is so nice.

Went there for breakfast one time while visiting. Absolutely delicious breakfast, side of bacon came out over done, they fixed it with the quickness. Would definitely eat again

Good wine bar. Menu looks just up my alley. Now, if parking was easier, I may go there more often.

One of my favorite restaurants in OC. Tucked in the back end of the Camp. Craft cocktails. Great wine list. Creative food. Excellent service. You cannot go wrong with one of the tasting menus.

New expanded location, fewer prefix menus but still great value especially with wine pairings. Want to get away from American-boring but not all the way to French-fancy? Date night ? Foodie ? Vegetarian or Vegan ? Try this place and don’t forget to pick up 6 bottles for $60 to go.

This place is worth visiting. They have large portions for affordable prices. Consistently neat and with fantastic atmosphere. Will visit here again.

I highly suggest going for one of their five four course preset dinner menus with pairings!! They are knowledgeable on wine and paired it beautifully with the meal!! I have also been and had appetizers and drinks. They make amazing food I highly suggest going!!

The breakfast was so good. My first time and I relied on google review. The pistachio butter with home made biscuit was delicious. Service was great.

The newly renovated appearance and extra seating only adds to this simply amazing Restaurant. From the moment you walk in you feel as though the entire Staff is there only for you. The service, the ambiance and the food are all nothing short of outstanding. We travel the US and around the world, and we enjoy the great restaurants. And Old Vine ranks with the very best Michelin Restaurants anywhere!!!

The food here is consistently excellent. The beef tongue for lunch or dinner is amazing. I had the octopus appetizer and rabbit mole this visit, both outstanding. Stacy is a personable and professional server who knows her wines. Highly recommend you try OVC

Over the top fabulous!!!

Creative menu. I had the Smothered. If you like corn bread with a little spice, this is your dish. The very friendly service will definitely have me coming back.

Great food, cocktails and I loved the music!

People were very attentive. Mitch the waiter was absolutely incredible!!! Polite and gave us great service!!!!

Amazing food. Hand made pasta

Highly mediocre. Not sure what all of the fuss was about. Dirty plate and service ware. Sauces to cover up poor cooking, which was remarkable really, because the food was still bland.

Very good homemade pasta

Haven’t tried anything here but breakfast. My all time favorite is the open faced without sausage, really delicious and flavorful🌶👌🏻

Awesome place. It was our first time there and already made our list of favorite places. Good food, excellent service.

Old Vine Kitchen is definitely a hidden gem in Costa Mesa. And really, it is kinda hidden since it's an area that I never seem to have passed, especially when I've been at The Camp so many times!I came here for breakfast. The breakfast menu is separated in 3 categories - sweet, savory, and comfort. It's pretty self explanatory. I ordered an apple french toast, vegetarian omelette, and the southern brunch. They're generous portions. So if you were to come here with friends, order one of each and share it among you guys. It would be nice to have a little bit of everything. My favorite, surprisingly, was the vegetarian omelette, and I'm a meat eater. The apple french toast was also amazing!The restaurant itself is pretty spacious. Has that rustic feel. "Old Vine" is very fitting. Staff is very friendly. I would definitely come back here again for breakfast!

Nice experience.. different than a normal restaurant..went a rainy day for a breakfast..try to goat omlet and rabbit mole anddddd coffee...definite yes with a family to kick off the weekend..bit pricy but worth a dime..

Great food and a nice ambience. Waitress was probably new and did not do either the food or the ambience justice

This is one of my favorites. Atmosphere is so unique, the food so good and I almost always run into one or two good friends. Give the Cheesy Grits a try -- I promise -- you'll love them!

The atmosphere and drinks were perfect.

Great service as always. In my opinion quality has gone down a bit. But still delicious

The Old Vine Cafe has moved next door into the vacated ECCO spot and tripled its size in the process. Just beautiful.
