    A nice spot for a quick breakfast or lunch with a good selection of healthier options. The restaurant has a Middle Eastern-inspired vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the service was friendly and efficient. Parking is in The District rather than directly in front of the restaurant, so you'll need to park and walk into the complex. As for the food, it was just okay for me. The salads were decent, but the chicken and omelet weren't particularly memorable. The bread was a little too oily, while the toast was harder than I prefer. Some of my friends really loved their meals, though, so it may just come down to personal taste. Overall, convenient for a casual, quick meal with plenty of healthy choices, but the food itself was so-so for me.

    Such a cute brunch spot in Tustin! The atmosphere is calm, cozy, and so aesthetically pleasing. It's the kind of place that's perfect for a brunch date, catching up with friends, or even enjoying a relaxing solo day. We started with the Classic Mezze, and I really loved the tomato dip. It was fresh, bright, and flavorful with a nice balance of sweetness and acidity. It paired so well with the warm pita and was a great appetizer to share. The Santa Ana Omelette was definitely my favorite and something I'd highly recommend! The melted cheese was so gooey, and the fresh pico de gallo added the perfect pop of flavor. Every bite was creamy, fresh, and incredibly satisfying. My friend ordered the French Platter, and it looked so beautiful on the table. The pastries were buttery, flaky, and definitely on the richer side, making them perfect to enjoy with coffee. The Utopia Latte was sooo good! It had delicate floral notes, and the white chocolate sauce added just the right touch of sweetness. It was smooth, fragrant, and such a unique latte. The Strawberry Salad was light, crisp, and super refreshing, especially alongside the richer dishes. For dessert, the Pistachio Baklava was the perfect finish. Crispy, nutty, and just the right amount of sweetness. If you're looking for a beautiful spot for a brunch date, a coffee catch-up, or simply a peaceful place to unwind, this is definitely worth checking out. The food is delicious, the presentation is beautiful, and the whole vibe makes it such an enjoyable place to spend a slow afternoon.

    Cacio e Pepe

    I don't mean to sound like a cliché, but this is definitely a hidden gem! Absolutely loved brunch here and can't believe this was barely my first time! everything we ordered was pretty good, but my favorite definitely had to be the crispy feta rolls and the menemen! Of course the cacio e pepe was delicious, but if i had to go for only one thing, it has to be the French breakfast platter. I obviously needed a coffee too, so I got the utopia latte which was topped with rose and pistachios and it was literally a dream. We ended up sitting outside because it was such a beautiful day and the patio is a perfect cozy spot to enjoy the day. Definitely can't wait to go back and bring friends!

    It is an American version of a European cafe. The color is bolder and there was music over a speaker system. The portions of the food are also Americanized. It was HUGE! Great selection and variety to satisfy everyone's palate. Our favorites were the mushroom soup, potatoes, chicken Alfredo, and lattes. The service was very good. The staff were friendly and the food came out quick. Sat outside for our party of 5. The AC wasn't working inside and there are only smaller tables.

    Had breakfast with my husband and we both had omelettes. We sat outside. I had orange juice and the florentine breakfast plate. The soujouk sausages were unique. I liked the sauce on the side and had to ask for extra. My husband ordered additional fruit and it was given in a really small cup. It was pretty busy and service was okay.

    Strawberry avocado salad

    This is a chic, european themed cafe. The staff is nice and they have a bakery section as well as options for hot dishes. We started with a strawberry avocado salad, and got a cacio e pepe for our main. Got walnut baklava for dessert. Cacio e Pepe- This was an interesting twist on cacio e pepe. It has mushrooms, a cheese base, finished with a crispy cheese lace and served with a slice of garlic bread. The flavor was decent but the pasta was on the dry side. Strawberry Avocado Salad- The salad was served fresh with a generous amount of greens and sliced strawberries. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. Walnut Baklava- I was not a fan of this one sadly. The pastry was soggy but it was a sweet treat at the end of the meal. Some improvements could be made on food items but the experience was good overall.

    POV: you went to Utopia European Caffe for "just coffee" and somehow left with a full brunch, dessert, and 200 photos for Instagram. This Tustin café is seriously so cute -- cozy European vibes, pretty drinks, and food that makes you want to order "one of everything." The chicken fettuccine Alfredo is rich and flavorful, the bolognese is dangerous in the best way, and the Utopia Latte with rose petals and pistachios? Basically the main character of the table. Honestly, this is the type of place where you say "let's keep it simple" and end up staying for two hours gossiping over Turkish coffee. 10/10 brunch behavior.

    This cafe was pleasant for a lunch date. The table space inside is a bit limited but we grabbed a spot on their nice patio. Would've been nicer had it not been so hot outside, but that's not their fault. We enjoyed the food. Wife thought the pancakes were really well done. The bolognese was good but felt lacking something that would give it more flavor. The feta and tzatziki taquitos were an interesting combo and I liked them. Not a bad choice if you're in The District area and looking for a place to sit down.

    Great place for brunch. It's located in The District in Tustin. I love the space, they have indoor and outdoor seating. Their staff is super friendly and the pastries/cakes were amazing.

    Iced Matcha Latte

    Place is on District St which is conveniently very close to the parking lot, and ease of access. Place is big with 10+ tables on the covered patio and few tables inside. Tables inside for two is a bit small but that is the European way. Service was decent, but weird they bring out the meals separately for your table. Also weird but this one I like, is you can order pasta at 9:30am!! Iced Matcha Latte (sweet) was really good, and not bitter tasting. 5/5 French breakfast platter was good. The croissant a bit dry but not made in house, definitely store bought. French fries had great seasoning. Brussels were a bit uncooked for me, but the spread of food and sauces/dips were a great touch. 4/5

    Aesthetically pleasing restaurant and food presentation! They offer both inside and outside seating. We chose outside on this beautiful day, and they have a massive patio roof to cover guests from the weather. The food was so delicious! I got a light nutella french toast, and it was super generous with the nutella spread, and the berries were fresh and crunchy. We also got their brussel sprouts and I loved it! Perfectly flavored and paired well with the tzatziki sauce. The waiters were nice and was consistent in prebussing our table and checking to see if we were okay.

    Cute little European cafe located in The District in Tustin. They have both indoor seating and an outdoor covered patio area. This spot has great brunch vibes, but you can also go for dinner as well. You can also order their breakfast items all day! Order at the register, and they'll give you a number to put on your table. Someone will bring out your food to you when it's ready. I like that they have Turkish speciality dishes like the Classic Menemen and Housemade Manti. These were my favorite! The Classic Menemen has eggs, butter, garlic, herbs, bell pepper, and tomato, served with baguette slices. I don't see Manti Turkish Dumplings at restaurants too often, so when I saw this on the menu, I had to try it. It did not disappoint! These dumplings are stuffed with minced beef in a tomato sauce with yogurt. So yummy! I also like that they have a variety of breakfast platters, including a French, Mediterranean, English, and American-style platter. I got the French Breakfast Platter that includes eggs, home-fried potatoes, soujouk sausage, croissant, sauteed Brussels sprouts, and brie. On the side, you get fresh fruit, jam, and butter. Very filling! The Baby Arugula Salad was colorful and refreshing! It has feta cheese, walnuts, cherry tomato, and sun dried tomato with a lemon vinaigrette and black pepper garnish. If you're looking for something lighter but filling, would definitely recommend this salad! For a side, the Fried Cauliflower is a great option. It's served with a tzatziki sauce on the side. If you like Turkish coffee, they have it here! It's even served with a piece of Turkish Delight.

    Had a great experience here. Almost everything we ordered was delicious and thoughtfully put together. I had the Bolognese. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly with the rich, savory meat sauce. BF had the Breakfast Sandwich - grilled salami paired with the melted five-cheese blend, scrambled eggs, and their utopia sauce, inside a ciabatta. He wasn't a fan; said it was kinda greasy. I did really like the potato wedges that came with it. Super crispy and perfectly seasoned. For drinks, the Utopian Latte was yummy. The combination of espresso, white chocolate, and rosewater was unique but really well balanced - not too sweet, with a subtle floral note. The whipped cream, rose petals, and pistachio on top made it feel extra special. And the Pistachio Éclair was the perfect way to end the meal - light, airy pastry filled with a creamy pistachio filling, with just the right amount of sweetness and a nice nutty finish. Overall, everything felt elevated but still comforting. I'd definitely come back.

I'd walked past it a few times and always thought it had a great vibe, but the seating situation was a little disappointing. The only nice seating consists of the three tables by the entrance; everything else is bar seating, and the restaurant itself is very small. Taking away the seating situation and evaluating just the food, I'd say Casa Damí is your average "try it once and perhaps never go back" kind of place. We started with the burrata, which was good, but I've also never had a bad burrata before. The croquettes were basically fancy cheese curds, which I could totally get behind if I were at a bar. The tiger prawns were a chef recommendation, but unfortunately they were pretty small and overcooked, which made them difficult to remove from the shell. The flavor was okay, but they were frustrating to eat, and at this price point I expected more. The olive oil cake was great and probably the best thing I ate all night. I can't say I'd come back just for that, though. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, but based on what we tried, I'm glad I experienced it once and don't feel much of a need to return.

Still cannot believe we were able to join the small community of people that had the honor to experience the artistry of chef Aitor Zabala and his remarkable team. Somni presents a 24-course, carefully curated tasting menu. Only one seating per night and dinner usually runs about four hours long. Doors open right at 7:30 pm and you are seated in the garden where you will receive a welcome drink (Tokyo fizz which is a Japanese sake/yuzu cocktail) and about 6 small bites that range from sweet to savory. This allows us to sit and relax for about 20 minutes before being escorted into the main dining hall. Dinner is served from a counter top so you have the opportunity to watch each dish come to creation. I personally love this interaction. You are served about 12 main courses expertly composed with Iberico pork, Dungeness crab, mussels, Chutoro and Bone marrow, beef tartare, and fresh garden herbs & botanical elements. My top FAVORITES were the Shiso puff tartare (Best dish hands down), Gazpacho blanco, and the Iberico pork. Very filling. Finally, dinner concludes with tea/coffee and 6 small bites of fruity gel, choc donut, and sorbet. Each course captivates your senses with its vibrant presentation, alluring aromatics, complex textures, and remarkable depth of flavors. Every bite was unique and lingered beautifully on the palate. Would love to come back again. Curious to try their fall and winter menu. Without a doubt, Somni is deserving of each of their stars

    Halal guys is the goat during my college years!! The concept is basically like Chipotle but…read moremediterranean food. I loved getting their regular bowls and portioning it out. It is pretty filling & the bowl can be packed! Their waffle fries is my favoriteeeeee side! Staff is efficient and friendly! A great place to get quality food

    First time at halal guys and I finally got to see if the hype is real!…read more First off, the service was excellent, the employee working during my visit was working solo with lots of customers piling in, she kept her cool the whole time and honestly I think it bought her the patience of all the customers cuz no one acted stupid for the wait lol The ambiance is what you would expect from a fast food joint, there's a decent amount of seating inside, no music, just the noises of the food being made and folks having their meals (which is not a bad thing nowadays where most places crank music like their a nightclub) Now onto the food, I got the regular platter with lamb and beef ($15.95) and a side of fries. The platter was ok.. the rice was disappointingly flavorless and oily, the meats were alright, the portion was great with most of it being rice and veggies but even so, not complaining. Let's be honest, all of it is just a foundation for that white sauce!!! The employee will pour it on top of your meal and essentially ask you when you want to stop just like they do with the cheese at Olive Garden. The fries were on a different level, I don't know if this is typically what they do, but when I visited, the employee was making each order of fries to order so they came out fresh and piping hot. The only downside, of course, is that it really prolong the weight as it seemed, everybody enjoys their fries, cause they were being ordered left and right. Overall it was a hearty meal, I don't know that it was healthy but, it was hearty! lol The fries were amazing, crisp, and fresh. The platter was ok, the white sauce made it great. If you're a Halal guy virgin like I was, they're definitely worth a try!
