We always really enjoy this place. This past weekend we had poor service and cold food but I know from other visits that was unusual. The decor is upscale and the food options are great here.

I came to this restaurant this morning 10/18/25 with my two kids for breakfast while we waited nearby for a haircut. Sadly, the experience was disappointing from start to finish.
Our server — a man in his 40s — was unfriendly and disengaged. He took our order (I ordered huevos rancheros with sunny-side-up eggs), and that was the last we saw of him. He never returned to check on us, until we were almost done. The food was average at best and didn’t meet expectations.
What truly crossed the line was how the payment was handled. I paid in cash, and while we were still seated and my kids were still eating, the server took the money and helped himself to a tip, all without saying a word. There was no mention of a gratuity on the receipt, and he never asked if I wanted change or told me he was keeping part of the payment. It was done silently and without permission.
I would have gladly left a tip if I had been asked or if the service had deserved one. But taking money without consent is dishonest and unprofessional. It shows a complete lack of respect for the customer.
I won’t be returning, and I don’t recommend this restaurant to anyone who expects basic courtesy, transparency, or integrity.

Amorelia is one of Costa Mesa’s hidden gems. They’ve got lovely ambiance, lighting, music & decor. The food is incredible, you can taste the love in every bite.
The one thing that wasn’t great last night was when we ordered guacamole to start, they asked if we wanted to chips too and then charged us $5 for them. The guacamole does come with chips because they brought us two different kinds of chips in different baskets (one with the Guac and one came with a little dish of salsa. This seemed a little shifty on their part & it’s worth being aware of.
Otherwise, a beautiful experience here as always.

Three of us came in on a Tuesday around 5. The restaurant is welcoming semi rustic. There are TVs, so I got to watch the Angels game. There was 1 person at the bar and a couple at another table, Our server was nice and attentive. We each got the happy hour tacos 3 for $10. We also ordered chips and salsa. We each got 2 margaritas. We enjoyed everything. Great deals for Happy Hour. I would recommend.

I decided to take my young daughter here on 9/22/25 around 1pm for a nice lunch to celebrate her passing her dmv driving test and obtaining her license since we have been here before and had a pleasant experience years prior; there was a server Hispanic woman early thirties that attended us and took our order. What I did not like was the food took long to get to our table from the time we placed the order to the time we actually got the food on our table was a 45 minute timeframe seems excessive. Then when we finally got our food I had asked for the sauce on the side not on the salmon and it just seemed like every little thing I had to be reminding the waitress about and before i could finish asking what I needed she walked away so I had to ask for one thing at time instead of her staying there and just listen and bring everything at once I think it would have been much easier for everyone for example this is what she did… fork?… walks away! Condiments?… walks away! Salt and pepper?…. Walks away! Another drink?… walks away! Where is the sauce on the side?… walk’s away! Like lady stay listen or yourself be considerate and reasonable enough to bring us cutlery like basics! To top it all off as soon as I was about half way eating I began to feel very ill I had to walk out and leave my daughter there alone to pay the food made me sick. Then I look at the transaction we where charged $88 for 2 meals and 2 drinks wow nope never again -5 stars

We were having dinner on 1-30-2026 and the appetizer we ordered was good. While we were eating a man came to our table and asked if he could sit down at the table. I asked if he was the owner and he said no he was the investor for the restaurant and I said join us. I noticed he had been drinking. The conversation started cordial and then suddenly he start using obscenities towards me and calling me names and wanted to fight me and then he started on my girlfriend and started insulting her. We did not provoke him, we were just listening. I asked the waiter to come and make him leave our table and he started using obscenities toward us again. My girlfriend got scared and was shaken and was afraid what he was going to do to us. We decided to leave and left the restaurant. He was still there after we left. I would think the manager would ask him to leave but he didn’t and I guess because he was an investor for the restaurant. The restaurant never apologized to us for guy behavior. We will never go back. I will not recommend for anyone to go there because of the incident and also I don’t want anyone to experience what we went through.
