TERRACE by Mix Mix

TERRACE by Mix Mix is a restaurant led by chef Ross Pangilinan, serving market-driven small plates shaped by French, Italian and modern Filipino flavors. The menu moves with the seasons and includes items like shrimp lumpia, oven steamed mussels in sinigang broth, smashed Wagyu cheeseburgers, wood-fired style Bianco pizzas and an ube sticky toffee pudding. The wine list has varietals by the glass and bottle, plus rotating craft beers.

The dining room is a covered terrace at the west end of the Bridge of Gardens inside South Coast Plaza, on the third floor of the Macy's Home Store wing in Costa Mesa. Weekday express lunch and a weekend brunch menu are offered, and the restaurant hosts private parties, special events and buy-outs. Reservations can be made online, and large groups are asked to call ahead.
