The grounds behind the hotel have a pond with ducks and turtles. There are LOTS of dogs being walked and as a dog lover, it was heaven for me. I also like having the ability to walk to so many great restaurants. I highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here again.

Over the years, my experience at Avenue of the Arts continues to be consistently positive…read more As a wedding cinematographer and photographer serving Orange County and Los Angeles, I've worked at many properties -- and what stands out here is the reliability of the team and the overall guest experience. When arriving on a wedding day, knowing that valet, front desk, and event coordination are organized and communicative makes a meaningful difference in how smoothly the day unfolds. The property itself photographs beautifully in every season. The modern architecture, warm interior tones, and the lakeside setting create a variety of backdrops without ever needing to leave the hotel grounds. The lobby offers clean, contemporary lines, while the exterior lake area provides a softer, romantic setting -- especially during golden hour. Another benefit is its proximity to Celebrations by Turnip Rose, which makes transitions between hotel, ceremony, and reception seamless for couples and vendors alike. From a vendor perspective, professionalism and consistency matter -- and that has been my experience each time I've worked here. For context, my team and I have documented multiple weddings at this property through our studio, Prince Weddings (PrinceWeddings.net), and the coordination between hotel staff and creative teams has always contributed to a smooth event day. This review reflects my personal experience working at the property over multiple events and is intended to be helpful to couples and families researching venues in Costa Mesa and greater Orange County.

Fun and interesting little place to visit if you are in the area by South Coast Plaza mall…read more Not the easiest place to find since you can't see it from the street. It is behind the Mastros restaurant. There is a parking structure nearby that is like $3 or $4 for 15 minutes and you can probably run through in 15 minutes, but 30 minutes to be safe. You can also walk from the mall parking lot, it is a little bit of a stroll but manageable. There are plenty of pictures so you can see what you are getting into before you make the drive, pay for parking, and walk over. When we went there on a Sunday morning, there were only 2 or 3 other people, so it was very quiet and zen. I enjoyed the write-ups and the exhibits. If I worked right there I would probably visit all the time.

I definitely recommend this location if you are throwing a wedding or a large party!

Disclaimer: this is a review as a guest, not as someone who rented out this place as I'm reading…read moreover the reviews. ------------------ Stumbling in on an overcast day, in my suit with an oversized wedding gift, we arrived at Fete the venue in Costa Mesa. Parking was limited as such is the venue but it makes sense as it was an intimate gathering for close friends. After checking in, we were enjoying Furiwa catering out in the courtyard. Allow me to set the scene, vintage glass lights crisscrossed the horizon, surrounded by modern wooden fence and lush green lawn. Makes for a scenic backdrop for memorable pictures. Now on to the food, furiwa's fried shu mai is the most SCRUMPTIOUS food you will ever taste! It was crunchy, rich in umami flavor in the center, with a kick of spice before BLOSSOMING into a subtle, delicate sweet aftertaste. If Willy Wonka made Dim Sun, this ever changing Shu Mai would be it! 100 Willy Wonkas out of 10 rating. The egg roll was also good but not as great. 3/5 stars even though it made for a very nice picture! The inside of fete was like a warehouse which is so cool for wedding reception these days. Fete being French for a great celebration or feast is appropriately named as the venue provided for a nice, intimate, but wild atmosphere. The bar in the back is permanent and provided lots of drinks such as midori sour, old fashioned, cranberry/pineapple vodka, Cuba libre. All in all, 5/5 stars for this venue!

Our group started with their homemade rolls, octopus, ratatouille, and beet salad. All were delicious and we all agreed we would get again. I got the duck breast, as it was recommended by others who had it before. Unfortunately, the duck was tough and chewy, the skin was not crispy (as it was in the past) and over cooked. The figs were tasty, but the duck was disappointing to most of us. Someone had the Scottish salmon and said it was delicious. The steak was also good and cooked perfectly. Our waiter was very kind, and brought us desserts since our duck was not up to par. The chocolate cake and rice pudding were both delicious and I highly recommend either if you crave something sweet. The service was excellent for our large group. I would definitely come back and like to try other items on the menu.
