Best Casual Restaurants in Fountain Valley

I went there with my boyfriend celebrating our four month anniversary and it was his first time. He was enjoying himself and I’m glad because he never went to this restaurant before. I’m glad he enjoyed the service and the food. Had a great experience and the staff was so friendly and so helpful. And celebrating our anniversary came with a complementary dessert which topped off the evening. You made our anniversary so special. 😊

Excellent food. Unparalleled service, great atmosphere. 10/10 would eat here every week if we could!

It was our first time there celebrating our wedding anniversary. Customer service was excellent. And our food was not disappointing. We will be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Social Costa Mesa is a gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a vibrant atmosphere. The food was a delightful mix of flavors—definitely try the Wagyu Burger and the pistachio chocolate chip cookies. These cookies were the perfect balance of nutty and sweet—absolutely unforgettable! And let me just say, their Bloody Mary is hands-down the best I’ve ever had! It was the perfect combination of spice and flavor, a total game-changer for brunch drinks. The indoor vibe was cozy and welcoming, with just the right mix of trendy and comfortable. What stood out the most was how family-friendly the space is. It’s rare to find a spot that caters so well to both parents and kids without compromising on style or quality. Perfect for a weekend treat or happy hour with friends—this place has it all. We’ll definitely be back!”

This is real, authentic Italian pasta, the best you’ll find in the south coast area. It seriously tastes just like pasta you’d find at a nice place in Italy. The ragu is my favorite. In my opinion the prices for pasta are a little high for such a casual place, but I keep coming back, so clearly it’s worth it. The service is always very good as well. The patio is nice with a fire pit and good heaters. It’s in the camp which provides nice ambiance, but parking is a nightmare. It took us 15 minutes to valet.
