The fish batter was not too thick and it was fried to perfection. Also, fresh! The chips (fries), I wish were fatter like in the UK, but it was good. I did need to salt it.

EXCEPTIONAL BRITISH FOOD (this sounds like an oxymoron, but this place has made this Indian man…read morefall in love with British food). I've come here a couple of times; I've tried the fish & chips, but the real star is the "full English breakfast." They use authentic English "bangers" and not just an American sausage. Breakfast comes with "fried toast" which is perfect for sopping up the beans and juices at the end of the meal. Good beer selection too!

We ordered a Harp beer which is light and not hoppy. Not sure if it was cause the glass wasn't chilled, but I kinda wished my beer was a bit more chilled/colder. We also order their award winning fish and chips, we got the cod. It was ok. Not too sure about "award winning". But it was good. My son got the fish bite and chips from the Little Buccaneers menu (12 and under). It came w/a drink and an ice cream sundae. It was a good portion for a 9 year old. He said it was good! Our server was nice and smiley, but unfortunately our food and even our drinks took a while. Maybe cause it was busy, but luckily our server was cheery and friendly, it kind of made up for it. Overall, this place is pretty cool. Would I come here again? Possibly. But honestly I thought this place was just ok.

Came here for lunch on a Friday around 1:30pm. I had never been to this plaza by the airport before…read moreand was a little worried about parking based on other reviews, but there were plenty of open spots when I arrived. The storefront is almost hidden on the right side of the food hall and can be easy to miss if you're not looking for it. There was no wait, and I was able to order right away. They gave me a beeper, and I was able to find a nearby table without any trouble. I ordered the Fish N Chips, which was a generous portion. It came with two large pieces of fish that were nicely fried. The batter wasn't too thick, and the fish itself was tender rather than overly flaky or hard. The texture and overall quality were good, but it was a bit lacking in flavor, even with malt vinegar and tartar sauce. The steak fries were crispy and not overly salty, which I enjoyed. Overall, the meal was average. With limited fish and chip options nearby, it's still a decent choice if you're in the area and craving it.

Hits the spot!!!…read more This was one of my Mother's last meals before she passed away and I'm so happy that she enjoyed this lovely place. I even went back months later for myself. We don't really have fish fry spots in Irvine besides California fish grill or OC fish grill(they pissed me off the first last visit so that's a different story.) Anyway, I love to support mom and pop over corporate eats any day. The service is good and the menu is straight forward. Great portions and super fresh eats. I honestly don't have any complaints. I'm not an English fried fish connoisseur so I can't compare but this meal hits and its solid! I'll definitely be back and please support your local small business:)

Give yourself time to find parking on Main St. or nearby. We ordered Queen Mums which we enjoyed with our own pots of tea.. the meal was so filling! Salads were fresh, sandwiches had a good variety, scones were soft. It's a leisurely lunch which was really appreciated. No rushing the food or us to leave. We ordered birthday cake and vanilla almond teas, and were very happy with our choices. Overall enjoyed the day at McKenna's Tea Cottage! We are looking forward to going back.

To say this establishment was overpriced is an understatement. This place markets itself like some…read moreelegant, cozy, English tea experience when in reality it looks like the inside of a dying hoarder grandma's house. The carpets and walls are "rustic" if you're being generous, but honestly they looked cigarette-stained and filthy. The service was atrocious too. It took nearly THIRTY MINUTES just to get tea. Tea. Not a five-course meal. Then we waited OVER AN HOUR for finger sandwiches that tasted like cafeteria scraps. Most of the food was genuinely awful. The only remotely edible items were the tomato soup, cucumber/egg sandwich, and chicken quiche -- except the quiche wasn't even included and cost an extra $22, which is insane for a place already charging premium prices for mediocrity. The "egg sandwich" was basically stale yellow bread with microscopic traces of egg. And whoever decided HAM AND BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE belonged in a finger sandwich needs to be fired immediately. Even the table decor looked terrible. Every table had random mismatched pieces from different sets instead of a cohesive theme, so the whole place just felt cluttered, lazy, and disorganized. Nothing about this experience felt charming or intentional. I waited over an hour to eat garbage in a room that smelled like dust and neglect. Absolutely do not recommend. I wasn't paying, but the experience costed over $100 (including $60 from a groupon).

Food: Tasty little bundles of fresh meat, potato, and veggies in a tasty bread pocket. Service: Always quick and always friendly.

But to add insult to injury the Pasty's were awful. Something bitter about them. I'm thinking maybe burned cheese on the bottoms from an uncleaned oven?

I've never had English style peas but I liked it. Everything was hot. Service: was on point. Drew and Gavin were great. Ambience: never been to England but I'm assuming it was just like England. Had the red phone booth, and there's a mannequin that dressed as their cops. I will definitely go back there. Can't lie, I'll go back because of their big tv's

The harp is definitely an institution in Costa Mesa. I mean I cannot tell you how many times I have…read morebeen here. Long before Yelp was even a thing, and long before the internet really was put into the hands of the cow in person, this was the hub. This is where you went to meet people, exchange ideas, have conversation and more. The harp is really an institution in Orange county. And not just because it has longevity, there's a reason that it has sustained power. This place is probably one of the most authentic Irish pubs I've been to. Having been to Ireland. I can attest that this is right there with a standard pub in a small town. Which makes it wonderful. The people that run the place, especially Paul, is one of the reasons why I keep coming back here. He's personable, funny, and no-nonsense right. I like his way of thinking and his approach to customer service a second to none. Now let's talk about the food and drinks. From a drink standpoint. You cannot go wrong with this place, the drinks are thoughtfully made, this guy knows how to pour a beer. As far as food goes. I highly recommend the beefeater sandwich, and you cannot go wrong with the chicken wings. Some of the best wings I've had ever. Friday and Saturday nights is usually popping pretty hard when they have bands playing. So, good luck trying to find a seat anywhere in the place. When there is an event that night. You will have to get there early for sure. The bottom line? This is a go-to hangout. If you are looking for a good watering hole to meet people, just hang out and have a good time, or watch a game on the big screen TVs. F*** I would highly recommend the harp to anybody and everyone in the Orange county area.

Great food and great drinks. There is always fast and friendly service. It is always peaceful and…read morequiet inside.
