    Kung Fu Shrimp
    Mitch R.

    Always drive by this place and I'm happy to had a chance to stop in on my birthday. This place is so charming lit up after sunset and it's in such a great spot on PCH. Service was good and the food got the job done. Nothing mind blowing but a solid meal all around, would return.

    Amazing night at Sol Grill. We have had a couple of celebrations at Sol Grill and it is always great! Misty and her team are amazing!

    Everything was perfect! The food was amazing! Misty always makes us feel like we are at home!

    Blackened Ahi
    Ele E.

    The ambiance is great and the staff was also so great! It's a cute quaint restaurant with absolutely awesome customer service. We ordered a lot as our party was a good size. I didn't get pictures of everything though. I ordered the blackened ahi, which I felt was quite salty. It did come with sauce but I felt like it was just ok. The vegetables also had no flavor, I get they may be steamed but it needs some flavor to it. The pineapple salsa that it came with was probably the best on the plate, a little spicy but I like spicy. The clams and mussels were good. I also loved the rock shrimp, very flavorful! My husband said the bruschetta tasted great. Someone in our party ordered the blackened salmon and they loved it. Another person also ordered the rack of lamb which he loved as well. Next time I think I'll have to try something different as I was not too happy with the blackened ahi.

    Kingfu Kung Fu Shrimp
    Val A.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Sol Grill overall; the atmosphere and company were great. However, my personal food experience wasn't as enjoyable. I didn't have much of an appetite, so I decided to order just an appetizer: the Spicy Kung Fu Shrimp with rice. Unfortunately, the dish was overwhelmingly spicy; not just in heat, but with an overpowering flavor that didn't sit well with me. I only managed to eat two shrimp before my stomach started reacting. Others at the table tried it as well, and no one could quite figure out the flavor, it wasn't just spicy, but had something else that made it hard to enjoy. I usually like spicy food, but this was a bit too much. Our server was so lovely!

    Sol Grill is everything you want in a restaurant and more! The food is amazing and the service is even better. Misty the owner greets every table herself and her passion for the restaurant and each diner is evident in the food and ambiance. The food is delicious and the wine is great - definitely try the "OG" sangria. This place is a GEM!!! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal and friendly, beach town dinner :) Will definitely be coming back soon!

    Fresh bread, really good

They are extremely well traveled and have been to the finest restaurants around the world and they absolutely loved it. They're not easy to impress. I'm talking about the Costa Mesa location, the outside patio is awesome and inside is some combo of retro plus old Newport plus new Newport plus old and new Costa Mesa. It's cool and thought out. Service was well on point. The food, though, was incredible. I had the three different enchilada combo that was out of this world, and my wife had some healthy protein bowl that was so light and so flavorful, it was just incredible.

The style gave retro diner vibe with earthy tones. Everything was pretty clean, & it wasn't overly decorated to where it felt cluttered. * Service: was good. We were a walk up & seating immediate in a partial booth/chai. It took a minute after we got seated to have the waiter bring water, but after that he was pretty attentive, in addition to being knowledgeable about the menu. * Food: surprisingly good on my end. We started with a half order or truffle Parmesan fries, which ended up being shoe string, & were well coated/flavored. I also ordered the sangria which was OK, while the BF got the chai espresso martini which he liked. I opted for the French Toast and he got the Short Rib Breakfast Tostada. I liked my FT as it was extra fluffy, with the syrup on the side. The BF liked his tostada but I think he preferred refried beans over black beans. * Final Thoughts: cute place with a non-overwhelming menu with a mix of classic & new dishes. Quality is decent, though price may be a little higher than need be. Would recommend & would return though not running back either. * Final Grade: B+ or 8.5/10

There is a good sized parking lot behind the restaurant. The ordering counter is on the front side of the building. Once parked, you can either walk around the building, or walk through the open-air covered patio. I walked around to get a closer look at the unique chicken-head Beatles' Abbey Road mural on the side of the building. The menu is obviously chicken-focused, and features various sandwiches, wraps, and salads, along with several sides. They also have a small breakfast menu served until noon on the weekend. After ordering, they will give you a number and bring your food when it's ready. I really enjoyed the dining area, which is a covered, open-air space with a high ceiling. I sat in one of the booths towards the front. Each booth has a classic painting on the wall with chicken heads on it. There are also many different types of tables thoughout, and more seating upstairs on the second floor. There is also additional seating in front of their full bar. I had the Coop Deville sandwich (fried breast, pickled fresno chiles, pickles, napa cabbage, lime mayo, artisan brioche bun, $14.50). The chicken breast was thick and piping hot, and had a great crunchy crust on it. All of the ingredients went together well and I loved the flavor. The bun was very fresh, and the sandwich wasn't as messy as I thought it might be. I was still a little hungry, so I went back and ordered the regular sized hand cut fries (regular size $4.50, large size $7.50). They are tossed in schmaltz (chicken fat) and a light dusting of spices. They were hot and fresh, and the regular size was way more than I could eat by myself. They have a self-serve sauce bar with five options on tap including ketchup, Srirarcha T000 Island, Sweet Baby G's BBQ, ranch, and pineapple mustard. I dipped my sandwich in the BBQ and Srirarcha Thousand Island, and my fries in the BBQ, ranch, and pineapple mustard. They have a cornhole game towards the back, are dog friendly, and host trivia night on Thursdays. I enjoyed the food and atmosphere, and would definitely return.
