Enjoyed an evening at 
Chat Noir in Costa Mesa last night.  It's pretty swanky and a little on the expensive side but the food looks great and the drinks and atmosphere are very cool.  I didn't get the opportunity to eat dinner but a gentleman at the bar next to me was eating spare ribs that looked delicious!  He said the meat was so tender that he didn't even use a fork.  Some other people I spoke with highly recommended dinner there.  I plan on going back.  But what I really enjoyed was the jazz/blues entertainment in the bar area.  Great date place too!
