I love this place! It's a little higher end/casual. The food is elevated "junk food." Do yourself a favor and come here, everything is amazing. The burger is the best. They respect the Integrity of the ingredients they use

Must Visit - Edit
Wonderful experience! My waitress was very nice and had great recommendations. I ordered the purple taquitos, grilled cheese, and tempeh black bean chili. ALL were delicious, with the grilled cheese stealing the show! Hopefully I can make it in on the weekend for brunch because I’ve heard it’s magical.

Thoroughly impressed! - Edit
Very attentive waitress and the food was incredible! I don’t understand the poor reviews given because the flavors and textures of everything was excellent. I came with my parents and they had the tacos and purple taquito which they said were really good! I had the mac n cheese which I was really looking forward to trying and it was so delicious. I had room to try the grilled cheese with avocado added and tomato soup on the side and I must say I was so impressed with the grilled cheese. Best grilled cheese I have ever had, the cheese was melted and the bread was buttery toasted, crisp and crunchy, just so much yum in every bite and it was seasoned so well. We finished with dessert and I had the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream made from coconut milk. The cake had a ganache over it, was warm and very decadent, satisfied my chocolate craving! My mom had the peach blueberry crumble and I tried a bite it was deliciously sweet and tart! I very much enjoyed my experience there, thank you so much Seabirds!

Amazing Brunch - Edit
We went for Sunday Brunch and it was busy! We had to wait 40 minutes for a table (party of 7), but it was worth it. Lots of selection, great kid’s options and fantastic drinks. We loved everything we ordered. The only downside was lack of parking, part of the lot is reserved for valet and used for other businesses. Highly recommend!

Favorite restaurant - Edit
This is absolutely my go to restaurant. The food is amazing! We just moved to Costa Mesa and seabirds being located here was one of the reasons. My favorites are the Mac n cheese, stuffed shells, chipotle Florentine and the taquitos! But really you can get anything there and it will be delicious! Their wine Wednesday’s are so fun and such a great deal! Keep up the great work!

One of my favorite places to eat. The brussel sprouts are a must! Its cute, clean and cooked by real vegan chefs, which make the food feel like restaurant chef made meals, not frozen fake packaged stuff warmed up.

Decent food, hit and miss service - Edit
Food: My kids LOVED their food - they’ve never seemed to enjoy a meal more. They split the beans and cheese burrito and rice, beans, and avocado bowl. We also ordered the tomato soup (delicious once it was delivered hot - again, the server was pissed that I asked for the soup to be hot and abruptly put the hot soup on the table when they finally got it right), mushroom taco (good but not amazing), burger (it was ok...definitely not one of the best burgers in the country as they say on their menu), and 2 salads.
Read moreService: I called the day before to see if I needed reservations and they told me “no...it’s not busy on Sunday nights”. This was a complete lie - they apparently had been busy all weekend and we had to wait awhile with two toddlers. Once we got in, the waitress was attentive and helpful. However, the lady who served our food was utterly and completely rude. When I asked for a second plate and bowl to split my kids’ meal, she seemed very annoyed. At one point, I asked for some more plastic wear for my kids and that person was also annoyed. They could use a lesson in customer service. Our waitress charged us for 2 things we did not order, resulting in a $64 OVER CHARGE and only said oops...sorry. This took a while to sort out, they charged our cards, and couldn’t process the refund for 2 days. Very sloppy! I had to ask for the dishes to be cleared from our table, all while the waitstaff stared at us uncomfortably throughout our meal. I was also extremely put off by the fact that they are “straw free”. I had a feeling I should have brought my own.
Area: The ambiance is lackluster. The area where Seabirds is located is disgusting - seems very dirty. The restaurant itself was clean.
Pros: Vegan , Gluten free options , Good kids menu
Cons: WAY over priced! WAY over priced! , Service is extremely hit and miss, Charged for foot we did not order

Hands-down the most creative delicious and relatively healthy vegan food I’ve had. I love their brunch and their bloody Mary’s are the bomb.

We’re long time customers at Seabirds. Love this place. Just be sure to ask for your food to be light on the oil (if you love your endothelium).
Read morePros: really good food.
Cons: the nachos are good but a tad salty.
