Tableau Kitchen And - Costa Mesa

The restaurant is fantastic, the service is top-notch, and the drinks are excellent.

I absolutely love this place! My boyfriend introduced me to it a few months after we started dating last year. We have tried the Mixed Berry Pancakes, Salmon Chilaquiles Rojos, Croque Madame, Short Rib Hash, California Burrito, and Waldorf Chicken Salad Sandwich. Every dish we have tried has been amazing. We don't go as frequently as we did last year, but whenever we find ourselves at South Coast Plaza, this is our go-to spot.

The pancakes with compote were delicious. However, the berries were a bit too tart and the syrup was sweeter than I anticipated. The smash burger was tasty. The cappuccino was extremely strong, with a dark roast, but it was made with just the right amount of milk and foam. The service during Sunday brunch was friendly but a bit slow, as there were only 2 servers.

Went to Tableau last spring for brunch and absolutely fell in love with the place. We came and ordered the French toast and thai tea latte for a quick snack but we quickly realized how good the food was and decided to wait a little longer for their lunch menu to open up. Our server was very patient with us in letting us order off the two menus and staying until the lunch service. All the food was delicious and so well made, I've been waiting for an occasion to come back since but haven't been able to come back just to relive some of the menu items.

First time trying this place out for dinner, I previously went here for brunch and it was great. However, I was clearly disappointed for dinner. Emphasized on clearly as I was really disappointed because I was looking forward to the order. The first thing that caught my eye on the menu was the Chicken Adobo Pasta, I 'm filipino and wanted to try this asian fusion. We also ordered Ceviche which was great, loved the idea of the sweet mango puree and the salty black cod. Then came my main order, which was the Chicken Adobo Pasta. When the plate came out, a different server came and said chicken plate? So I raised my hand since I am the only one that ordered chicken. It was a half chicken with brocolli and au jus that was poured on top by the server. I was confused. Where is the poached egg and pasta? I waived our server and asked if this was the pasta. He said i misheard i thought you said chicken dumplings. What? I clearly said adobo pasta. The table behind us was peeking at our table as this was happening. The server then grabbed the plate and asked me if I still want it, but no, I want the adobo pasta. He told me that it would take 15-20min for the new order to arrive and I said it was fine. I was willing to wait for that adobo pasta. 5 minutes later, the server came back and said it ran out. Hearing this, I was already hangry and it shows. I ordered something else. At this point. The people that were peeking behind us. Received the same chicken plate that was served to us. I knew it was the same since they never poured the au jus on their plate since they already poured it on my table. The new order came out it looks messy as it was rushed. I just wanted to leave. Our server vanished after handing out that new order. Never saw him again. We ended up getting a box and the check from a sweet server who was more helpful than the tall blonde guy with wavy hair. I do not remember his name, but he was the only blonde guy there with short wavy hair. Had to wait for my parents to enjoy their correct order. Mom wanted dessert, we ended up going elsewhere for dessert. As much as I enjoyed the brunch at this place. The service during dinner made me disappointed. It might be a simple mistake, but when you are hungry. It 's very disappointing. Was going to take more pics, but not in the mood anymore...
