Tableau Kitchen and Bar 3333 Bear Street, Costa Mesa, CA 92626

"Pancakes were delicious with the compote. Berries were a bit too tart and syrup was sweeter than expected. The smash burger was yummy. Cappuccino was VERY strong (super dark roasted), but made with the correct portion of milk to foam. Only 2 servers during Sunday brunch so service was friendly but slow."

"We had a really nice experience dining in the patio of Tableau! The food and service were excellent! We had the smash burger, eggplant sandwich and many desserts! The desserts are presented beautifully and they taste amazing! My favorite was the chocolate mousse cake!"

"A very nice breakfast, lunch and dinner place in the South Coast Plaza mall. They open early on weekends (9:00): about an hour or two before the shops open. A good place to have a bite to eat before your shopping day starts. Good food, excellent service, fast WiFi… Not a bad place to sit and enjoy."

"A open side restaurant inside the mall where you can see passerby’s. I really wanted to try their fried burrata sandwich but they just switched it out. They replaced it with the new burrata. This is a seasonal every changing menu type restaurant. Come while you can still try some of your favorites. The aperol drink reminded me of the flinstone orange hard vitamin in essence but for adults. Had slight sweetness but the mix of the citrus flavor gave it that bit of punch. I would say the rigatoni was decent, had a bit of a kick just enough to keep it going. A bit light in flavor overall. It’s shareable enough with about 30 PCs +. The burrata crab cake was pretty good. I think the way it was fried really did it for me. Don’t know how they fried that burrata crab cake but it was quite delicious. There’s a bed of spaghetti noodles underneath as well. Portion wise, it’s just enough to share. Can’t imagine what that fried burrata sandwich would have been like if it was done this well for their burrata crab cake. If you’re really hungry then you’ll probably want one more shareable dish. Which is why I felt a cheeseburger was a great way to top it off. The cheeseburger was better than expected, no fries needed. The bread reminded me of a McDonald’s style cheeseburger bun in its essence but also like a Hokkaido milk bun in some sense like a light doughnut in its own way. All of this in a good way. The bacon had a hint a sweetness but really added to the burger, same with the egg as well. The pickle had a lightness to it but vinegary/acidic. It was like a lighter sweeter version of a regular dill pickle. Really good. The burger meat patty itself was delicious as well. Overall it was a clean solid tasting burger. The garlic aioli for the fries tasted like a lighter slight tangy/citrusy hollandaise or lighter béarnaise sauce, not overpowering. I would say I really liked the burrata crab cake and burger. I would come back for the day time menu just to try all their other goodies. If you’re trying to fill up, I would say order at least 3 items. Would recommend giving this place a try."
