Legend has it that you can stand an egg on its end ONLY during an equinox. From what I’ve read, that’s a myth. With sufficient talent, you can stand an egg on its end on any day of the year. I’ve never tried, so I don’t know if I’m talented enough to do it. But I am I talented enough to know how to have a good time! And I invite you to come along with me to have a good time on Monday night when I’ll return to La Cave Steakhouse in Costa Mesa and bring my ‘Legends of Las Vegas!’ show with me.



I’ll be singing and performing hit songs made famous by some of the most talented entertainers in history. I don’t know if any of these guys could stand an egg on end, but they sure knew how to make music! You’ll hear songs by Frank, Dean, Tony, Bobby and more all while enjoying a great steak or seafood dinner and drinks.

And speaking of drinks, it’s Martini Monday, aka MarTimmy Monday! All Grey Goose vodka martinis are just $10! That’s right, $10. Such a deal! Martinis and Martin! MartiniYou can’t beat that anywhere in town!

Our Story

Established in 1962 on St. Valentine’s Day, La Cave is renowned as the premiere steakhouse in Orange County, serving only the best cuts, in addition to exquisite Australian Cold Water Lobster, Giant King Crab Legs, and Giant Shrimp Cocktail. All entrees include: delicious fresh baked cheesy garlic bread, choice of crisp salad or savory soup du jour, rice pilaf or hearty twice baked potato, steamed broccoli, sautéed mushrooms or grilled asparagus.

We take pride in our fresh selection of meats, generous portions, best in class service, and our signature warm, romantic 1960’s ambiance. Voted among the top four best privately owned steakhouses in Orange County by KCAL9 and Fox 11, as well as Best Martini by OC Weekly. We have proudly served the Newport-Mesa area for over 50 years. A favorite hangout among local celebrities such as the late John Wayne, La Cave is arguably one of the most historic and charming venues in Costa Mesa.

Join us for nightly Happy Hour (M-TH), dinner and entertainment. Additionally, our offerings include private dining and banquet services with a nostalgic and intimate atmosphere. Whether planning a social gathering or corporate event, we would be happy to accommodate your needs!
