Tried the new Croque Madame today. Different than other versions in that it doesn't have a cheese sauce but still very good!

So far this is one of my favorite spots for breakfast/lunch. There's an assortment of dishes for any craving whether it be heavy or light and the kitchen can be very accommodating. I've had Alex as my waiter twice and from my experience he's awesome. He's very professional but is still laid back in a way. I love how he's ready for us whether it be the bill, condiments, refills, etc. I got the opportunity to enjoy both their indoor and outdoor dining. Both areas do not disappoint as the decor is very comfy but give a modern brunch. On my first visit my friend and I got the chorizo hash and avotoast. The hash is on the heavier side but still a great choice that they didn't leave a single bit left on the plate. The avotoast left me feeling very satisfied, but not stuffed and the smoked salmon add on made it that much better. This is a must try spot during any time of the day, but maybe I'm too quick to say since I haven't had their dinner menu. Overall, very happy with the restaurant. Our second visit we got the breakfast burrito and cubano. The burrito is a large size to which we took it home, but it was packed full of flavor and instead of scrambled eggs we got sunny side up to make the burrito have a creamier texture. The cubano was awesome and the potatoes that came with it were perfect. I was reluctant on the potatoes from other restaurants, but they caught me by good surprise. They were wedge fries, with the perfect crisp. Since we're on the subject of crisp the cubano was the same with each and every bite. The aioili on the cubano was spectacular especially since I am used to mustard, but the switch up was a great idea.

I met a friend for brunch here for the first time and it was so good! The food was delish, and the lemon strawberry/raspberry mimosa was tasty! The waiter was great and I liked the ambiance.

We went here after a morning workout. Nice patio outside. Waitress was super friendly. I ordered the breakfast burrito. It was pretty good with two good salsas. The chorizo was good, but it could use a tad bit more crunch. My wife ordered the short rib tostada. She enjoyed it and was a decent size portion. My wife actually had to take the other portion home. She also ordered a latte. The waitress spilled a bit on the platter and even though we told her it was fine, they took it off the bill. Also tried a bit of my brother in laws hash and also tasted good. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

My husband and I were in town on a Sunday morning and came across Eat Chow and are so happy we did. The wait was only about 20min on a Sunday around 11am which isn't bad at all. There is a super cute consignment store a few places down and it's a great way to spend the time while you wait to sit! They have tons of street parking, at least while we were there. The food was good and portions were big. Really loved the cocktails! The dirty chai espresso martini was fire. The perfect mix of flavors and wasn't too sweet which is my favorite. We live in San Diego and don't have an Eat Chow location which is so sad! The next time we are in Costa Mesa we will make sure to stop by and try the churro French toast!

Really nice brunch spot. Service was excellent and the food was really good. We got the hot white chocolate macadamia nut latte and the iced cookie butter cold brew. Both were great drinks. The food was all good. The chicken breakfast tostadas were great. The pesto eggs were also really great. The French bread was the weakest dish, but still was ok. We started with the Parmesan truffle fries and that was a great starter. Great joint, would definitely go again.

Eat chow has been on the bookmark list to try forever. If you're coming on a weekend during social hours, expect a wait. And if you're hungry expect to be famished of boredom before the food actually comes, that is if they don't forget the fatty crispy juicy truffle fries we ordered but never got. All for the better cause I don't need more reason to sweat. Just when you're so done waiting and getting questionably irate, butt is numb and topics trite-fully discussed.. do you forgo all that when your plates all arrive simultaneously. Now this is weeks after I'd been there and I can remember loving every bite but conflicted with wanting to return. The food is worth the wait. It's all so simple but flavors are fully developed, combined; the toast was properly toasted and eggs poached beautifully. Arugula is lightly dressed but flavorful. I've heard fantastic things about Amy's egg white omelette. If you have a bigger party, they might be able to take reservations but not for anything less than 4-5 I'd imagine. Customer service is great if you can get their attention. Like waiting for a bartender in a hot club.

Came here a little while back for brunch and thought it was great! Menu has good variety of traditional American dishes along with some Mexican inspired items. I got the short rib breakfast tostadas and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor considering this isn't a full-on Mexican restaurant. We sat outdoors and were seated pretty quickly since we had a reservation. The indoor area seems pretty spacious too. Overall would probably come back if I was in the area and craving brunch. Definitely want to check out their regular lunch menu too.
