Monday Specials: They used to have cheese and wine pairing on mondays for $20 - that was always great, now they offer "happy hour and tappas for $15 (food)" and wines for $6 (one minimum) - you don't know what you get and 9/21/2009 selections was something for everyone... Cheese dish, fish dish, meat dish and rice paella with meat,... more

Hidden away at the back of The Camp - another of the 'anti-malls' in Costa Mesa in the South of Bristol area (ie., away from South Coast Plaza), this little cafe is a true find.

One of the best meals I have had, by far the best in OC. It is so refreshing to find an independent restaurant in the OC sea of chains. Old Vine is doing a brilliant job of pairing wines with excellent food, all at reasonable prices. Outstanding! more

everyone that comments says they have "only been there for breakfast" or "lunch," which may be fine, but I went there for dinner on a recommendation from someone who had only gone for lunch, and while the food was ok, they tell you you have to get multiple items because the serving sizes are too small - and they want... more

I've only tried their breakfast menu, but I keep coming back. Awesome spot, cool on a hot day, and the giant wind chimes are a nice touch. more
