    We stopped here for brunch. Service was good, from check in to being seated. The menu is decent with eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, 2 egg and bacon and or sausage, etc. I had chilaquilles which were decent. The chips were a bit cold but the egg was warm so not sure what happened there. Overall it was good.

    Country Club has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Haley gave excellent service and was friendly and pleasant to talk to. The drinks at Happy Hour are reasonably priced and well prepared. The hamburger was very good. The charred brussel sprouts are quite tasty. This coming from someone who does not normally eat them. The Mac and cheese paired nicely with the burger. We always enjoy visiting the Country Club.

    Amazing brunch experience at the Country Club! The bottomless mimosas on Saturdays are $22 and the servers are very generous. It comes with a few juice options too. The food was delicious!!!!!! That is the main reason I’m coming back. The DJ got there at 12pm and I loved the variety of music he played. Overall, decent spot in Costa Mesa & the brunch should be more poppin on the weekends!

    We actually had a really good time and did enjoy our food as well. The server bugged all of us because he was a little cocky and he was always on the go even though he wasn't busy at all. It seems he spent more time talking to the bartenders and co-workers then checking in on our table and other tables. When he did come it would always be very fast and in fact he cut one of us off while talking to take the order of somebody else which we thought was rude. The food was very good but we were a little disappointed with one of the pastas and soup we had considering we were there last week and ordered the same thing and it was not consistent with flavor and taste. Last week it was a lot better which is why we ordered it but when we got it this week we were disappointed and did not. Most of the other food like appetizers and pork chop was actually very good and cooked well to our likings. The atmosphere is very well it was a Monday so it wasn't too busy nor was it too loud and felt very comforting and the drinks tasted great as well too. We ended up ordering drinks from the bartender since the server was not around all the time when we needed something. Overall I would go back again for the food hopefully getting a different server or maybe sitting at the bar since the bartenders were very nice as well as the runners and bussers. But I would recommend this restaurant still. Hopefully the consistency issue with the food that we had was a one-time thing.

    Enjoyed our first time at the Country Club. The music was just way too loud. It’s really more of a bar than a restaurant to me. The food was very good, especially the cauliflower side. The service was good and really appreciated our servers acknowledgement that it was our first time and how she handled that. Don’t want to give anything away, you’ll just have to try it out.

    Server was rushed, food was ok. Seems like something has changed. The dessert was ok but had a very unripe strawberry on top. Busboy took a drink away before it was finished. Probably won’t be back for awhile.

    The restaurant has an amazing decor which created a nice ambiance. What I really liked, is that around 10 PM the restaurant was transformed into a dance/lounge club. The music was ok but the mood was really nice. This was on a Friday!

    The noise level was mostly distance between us and another party with an annoying guest. Even when the DJ started it wasn’t overpowering. The Bread appetizer and the Beet salad was amazing!!! And the Bone in Ribeye was worth every penny; made to rare perfection. The service was alright, but a little slow once we ordered things or indicated our needs. Otherwise great place and we will be back.

    Great atmosphere but very overpriced for the quality of food. The servers were attentive but not the most knowledgeable about the menu offerings. Drinks were average. Food was good but some menu items were severely overpriced. Definitely the smallest 8oz filet I've ever seen and at 54 bucks, it should come with a side. Same with the burrata salad. It was good but way too small for 18 bucks and the sourdough presentation with the salad was really cheap. Bread pudding for dessert was 100% microwaved. If I wanted my food microwaved, I would just go to Applebee's.

    Great vibe and friendly staff. Ordered the Flank steak ($42) and the Bone-in Ribeye ($64). Flank was good, ribeye was good. Not really worth $60+. I’d go back, but would order the flank or something else. Also had the Soup of the day, which was a green chili purée and it was delicious. Ordered a bottle of Daou and it was the typical about 210% cost. $64 for a $23 bottle.

    Amazing brunch! We had bottomless mimosas, sweet potato hash, and the breakfast burger. Both were flavorful and perfectly seasoned! The Hash has brisket that was perfectly smoked with over medium eggs. The breakfast burger was cooked perfectly medium. Juicy and exploding with flavor. The breakfast potatkes were a dream! Crispy outside and soft inside. Sprinkled cheese and perfectly seasoned! Then we finished our meal with the Grinch donut, with cream cheese frosting. So light and fluffy! Thank God I was already full! I could have inhaled 4 more!
