Five Must-Go Places for Lunch Deals in Costa Mesa
Old Vine Café
Old Vine Café has an inspired lunch three-course pre-fixe menu that features a starter, entrée and dessert. Every option showcases Chef Mark McDonald’s brilliance, but the main reason why Old Vine tops our list is because breakfast is still served. If you prefer sweet, savory or something comforting, Old Vine Café has the perfect breakfast dish to satisfy any taste. If you’ve haven’t been to Old Vine yet, be sure to try the open-faced – a freshly made biscuit with sausage, scrambled eggs and a homemade chipotle gravy. Old Vine also makes all of their own spreads from scratch. The unique dishes make Old Vine Café one of the most popular eateries not only at the CAMP, but in all of Orange County.
