    My friends & I stopped by for happy hour. Great deals for their appetizers/pizza & alc beverages! The restaurant was quite spacious and was lively during the time we visited. Service was just okay. The drinks were a tad strong but were all good selections. We were all satisfied with the food that we ordered and especially liked the calamari, margarita pizza, and the poké nachos!

    Classic Cheese burger with a House Honey Blonde 4.9% Blonde Ale, Escondido, CA
    McKenna H.

    I've had a great time coming here for dinner tonight. The burgers are delicious and the house honey bloude ale is refreshing. I've had a great service at the bar and Nev and David were fantastic bartenders and one of them even gave me a free sample of a pina colada. The outdoor patio has a great view. I will definitely come back

    Yard House has some great deals for Happy Hour if you can be there before 6:00 pm during the week. I had the chicken lettuce wraps and the sliders and they both were good. However, I think the sliders was a great deal since they come with fries and four (4) sliders. Chicken lettuce wraps was decent but I've had it better somewhere else. And it is a very small portion. It's an appetizer! :)

    Spicy Tuna Stack
    Katie K.

    This isn't my first time here. I have been many times. Finally decided to do a review. There a a gazillion beers. They do beer well. As they should. There are a ton of TV's. The food is like... bar food, but more variety. They do have this lovely ahi tuna stack, which feels kinda somewhat healthy. Our bartender was David, he gave a few littles samples of other beers similar to what we got. Super cool and helpful. It's kinda dim inside and perfect for sports watching. It's great for what it is. Just come with those expectations.

    Yard house usually never misses and this one is no exception. Food is great quality, good service, and dimmed atmosphere in the nice area adds to the existing good environment. The one thing that I never got here was their mules, and they are absolutely great. Ended up getting the strawberry and the Hawaiian and theyre made just fantastically

    All the food was great, and came out quickly. We were told their soda machine was flat aside from a separate machine that only had coke and sprite, so my Dad decided to get iced tea instead. Small inconvenience, and then there seemed to be some confusion when they brought out the food between us and the other group on the patio. The onion rings were perfectly crispy, and the fish on the poke nachos was fresh. My pork burger, while cooked well, had a strong pepper spice on the bacon which overpowered the burger. We were glad they accommodated us on the patio, since we had our dog with us.

    This restaurant is my go to lunch and dinner place. Many awesome menu choices and happy hour specials. Smoked old fashioned drink is so good and lettuce wrap as well as chicken wings. The staffs are super friendly and give good service.

    I went to Yard House for happy hour, and I have to say,it's usually one of my go-to spots. All of my past experiences have been A+, which is why this visit stood out a bit differently.When we arrived, we were seated right away, and the host was very kind. The restaurant was clean and clearly ready for the dinner crowd. As soon as we sat down, our server Angel came over and asked if we knew what drinks we wanted before we even had a chance to look at the menu. At first, I thought, "Wow, he's on it," but his attitude felt a bit off-putting (giving) like he might have been having a rough day. I wasn't ready to order yet, but my partner was. As he started placing his order, Angel walked away mid-conversation, which caught us off guard. We brushed it off and placed our food order through the kiosk at the table. Angel later returned, acknowledged the order, and took our drink requests. Our food came out fairly quickly, we ordered the fried calamari (10/10), which was excellent, and Miguel's queso dip with added beef (10/10), which was so delicious. About halfway through our appetizers, we realized we still hadn't received our drinks. We flagged down another server, Quinn, who stepped in to help. It turned out our drinks had never been placed. Quinn quickly took care of it, and I ordered the Hawaiian Mule (10/10), which was refreshing and really tasty. Quinn ended up taking care of us for the rest of the visit and definitely turned the experience around; he was attentive and made sure everything was handled. Yard House is still a great spot for happy hour, watching a game, or going out with a group. While this visit had a hiccup with service, the food and overall atmosphere still make it a place I'd come back to.

    Truffled Mushroom pizza
    Jiliza N.

    Yard House is always a solid choice! We started with the poke nachos, and honestly... this could've been a whole meal on its own! The tuna was super fresh, the sauce was SAUCINNN, and I loved that they used fried wonton chips -- light, crispy, & not heavy at all. Highly recommend! We also shared the house salad, which helped balance everything out before the mains!! For my entrée, I got the pepper jack burger (medium rare), a recommendation from our waiter Barrett (shoutout to him!). He was so kind, patient, & really knew the menu. The burger had a nice kick of spice, which I loved, & was cooked perfectly. We also shared the truffle mushroom pizza, & wow SUPER flavorful without the mushrooms being overpowering. Of course, we all grabbed a glass of their house beer because you really can't go wrong there. Overall, such a fun place to hang out, eat good food, & catch up with friends. The vibes here remind me of BJ's... but with better food, better service, & better vibes . Would 100% come back

    8/2018 Cheese Curd Appetizer (spicy sweet red sauce was the favorite of the sauces)
    Jen S.

    I'm so sorry I can't recall our server's name but she was fantastic! !! They allowed us to book a reservation for our group earlier this week just before Christmas Eve. Even when we adjusted the count, they allowed our change to a smaller group a couple hours before our reservation at 6pm. Parked below and the elevators and stairwells are accessible to the top floor to reach Yard House. Be aware there is some construction going on (I think it was the 2nd floor). Every person who helped our table, from the hostess to their table staff, amazing service during a stressful holiday event dinner for our work. It's been ages since I've been back to Yard House and I'd forgotten how delicious everything is! Great appetizers, fantastic entrees, just an awesome experience all around. Thank you for their wonderful staff.

    Happy Hour Menu (ig: @cravingswithcat)
    Catherine N.

    Their happy hour menu is the move!!! Everything is super cheap and ended up around $40 (after tax w/o tip) for 3 dishes and a drink. The bar seating is first come first serve, but there were a good amount of seats when we came on a Friday. Everything we had was really good. I like the location, vibes, and service, will be coming back! ig: @cravingswithcat

    Athena R.

    Hark! Upon this most fortuitous eve did I dine within the noble halls of Yard House, where merriment and fine victuals abound. Verily, the fare was most sumptuous, and the cups did flow with great cheer. Yet above all, I must needs commend the most excellent service bestowed upon us by one Ivan, a steward of rare grace and diligence. With swiftness and courtesy did he attend our table, as though guided by the very hand of hospitality itself. No want went unmet, no request unanswered--truly, his conduct was that of a paragon among servers. Should thou seek a feast most delightful, accompanied by service most gallant, I beseech thee: make haste to Yard House and pray thou art served by the virtuous Ivan. Five stars, without question!

    Boneless Wings Korean BBQ Cheesesteak Steak Bowl
    Cathy T.

    We got the fries, steak bowl, Korean bbq cheesesteak, and boneless wings. It was definitely more than enough food & everything was so delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly! Our server was kind & continued checking in on us as we ate :) We order 3 cocktails:pink dragon, jack and coke, and a classic mojito. All super yummy Parking is inside the garage! It is a little complicated, just make sure you enter from Newport Blvd. Take the elevator or stairs the highest floor. The restaurant is at the end of the bridge path.

    Is there a rooftop?

    No, but there is a small outside patio area with room for maybe 10-20 people at small square tables. And the restaurant is on the second level at the Triangle.

    Hi there, is your restaurant Yard House Costa Mesa still open and what are the exact opening and closing times as well as the last order for food at night (for every day of the week). I do not seem to be able to connect to your website for some reas?

    Hey, Patrick! Yes. We are open Sunday - Thursday 11AM to 12AM with food last call at 11:30PM and Friday + Saturday 11AM to 12:30AM with food last call at 12AM.

    What's the max on people for reservations 2 weeks advance? or let me rephrase that, what's the max you would seat for a party?

    Hey Juliette! We actually don't take reservations at our Costa Mesa location. It is first come, first served.

    Does the Costa Mesa location offer reservation for a birthday?

    Yes they do

    What are the times for your happy hour?

    Thanks for the question. Happy Hour is currently available Monday through Friday from 3:00PM - 6:00PM with our late night Happy Hour available Sundaythrough Wednesday from 10:00 PM - close. All the details can be found here:… Read more

The attention to detail in the aesthetics/remodel is stunning with rattan lamps and plants, super spacious seating, cute patio furniture sets, 2 bars, & lots of backdrop photo opportunities. It honestly feels like a tropical oasis. They have recently remodeled and enclosed the space, making it perfectly private and cozy while blocking the wind. Parking in the garage, and walking up the elevator, finding the place was easy! The service here is superb, friendly, and quick. Photos on social media, website, and Yelp/Google simply do NOT do this place justice! At first a little skeptical normally cute places don't have good food, or vice versa good food but not a cute place. This place definitely delivered beyond both great food, cute ambience and more! Some of the poor quality photos and negative reviews made me a little nervous but our experience was nothing like it or maybe we are all not super humans and this place really listened and valued the feedback and stepped it up. Planning a surprise 70th birthday from out of town esp the event planner that I am, finding the perfect cute place and good food fitting for the birthday girl and our large family can be extremely challenging - you normally can not have it all. We actually canceled another place in hopes that Casa de Onda would deliver and execute the specific criterias we were looking for - yummy flavorful food, great service, and cute vibes; it's always all about the vibes now! Alex, the owner, was so prompt, responsive, patient, and helpful while we planned everything with multiple emails and proposals. Even though there was a preset menu option for our group of 27, they accommodated pre-orders off their regular menu which was more impressive since our guests came all the way from the Bay Area and some are locally and we love to always try a little of everything. Alex even checked in on us personally on the day of, super sweet. Our day-of host, Dave, was friendly, hardworking, and chillax, he was organized and have read through the email communication (which most others won't). Jessica and Rachelle were sweet and hustled to get our food and drinks out incredibly fast, and Arturo the bartender was super nice and quick with the drinks at the bar when we arrived early. The food was spectacular! This is not your bland overpriced Mexican American fusion as we are big on authentic and hole in the wall mom and pop kinda food. It is incredibly flavorful and beautifully plated/presented. The Vampire Asada and Pork Belly Tacos were a huge hit! This order was perfect with barely any leftovers for a group of 27 (22 adults and 5 kids). It is always extremely hard trying not to under or over order but we preordered a minimum and ordered a tad more day of which was so perfect. We had the food scheduled to come out back to backs for my hungry family Starters: 5:30pm 3 Chips & Salsa 2 Asada Nachos 2 Gem salad 3 Burrata heirloom tomatoes 3 Shrimp ceviche 3 Elote Corn riblets Tacos: 5:45pm 9 Vampire Asada 9 Pork Belly Total x 2 each = 36 tacos Entree: 6:00pm 3 Steak and truffle fries 3 Mole braised short ribs 3 Shrimp and fried grits 7:00pm Cake & Sing Happy Birthday! Brought and cut our own cake Nice of them to have sparklers for us! 7:15pm Sing surpise Happy Birthday to our 5 year old niece! Brownie cookie and ice cream This looked hella good saw that the kids devoured this lol 7:30pm Family photo/depart Kinda regret not ordering enchiladas and desserts but still ecstatic of the overall food, drinks and experience. Our family eats quick as anticipated, we finished the event within 2.5 hours (5pm-730pm), I wished we were able to spend another 1 hour or and just hang out to enjoy the place but the elders were done lol but now know of this place, we will def be back! Additional details: They also provided cute custom menus for our orders, which helped our guests know exactly what delicious food was coming out. The drinks were beautifully presented in cute cups, with the Mexican Strawberry Mule being a crowd favorite! The patio bar was so cute too, it felt we were on vacation in Cabo/Cancun They also have patio heaters/plenty of shade and music was cool! They have plenty of TV screens for the games, and even surprised us by a screen rollout already set up by our table when we arrive just for the NBA finals as I asked in emailed if there are nearest tvs but did not expect anything. This probably was the ultimate thoughtful gesture caring that was everything! Thank you so much Alex & Casa de Onda, for taking such a wonderful, warm, inviting, and thoughtful care with your heart and soul of our mom's 70th surprise birthday and making it an unforgettable celebration for our family as if it was your own family! You deserve a thousand stars and more!

Also, if you stay after dinner, it opens up into a club and you don't have to pay entrance into the club. They have a nice bar outside, so the ambience is flowing Ali he with drinks. The evenings that I've stayed after they have two rooms OK they have a DJ room and then they have the band room, I don't know if they have a band every single night but the times I've been there they do and I like that you one room is very club vibe and then you can go into the band room and it's more like salsa lit up vibing. I myself still have a gift card for their café side that I'm excited to use soon and check out. Can't wait to go back this week.
