“We tried this place a few times and we're disappointed one of the times. So not sure if the food quality is inconsistent. But we just went recently and it was quite good this time around. We ordered a couple rounds of drinks. Great craft cocktail list (although small). I ordered the Reconstructed Destination twice! For food: We ordered the Truffle Burger (the Truffle really showed through and the meat was very juicy and flavorful). Salon Tartare was amazing, loved the brightness and the unami component with the tobiko (black roe) on top. The creme fraiche was a great acidic addition. And lastly, we ordered the Salmon Almandine. Let me tell you that I normally don't order salmon because it's usually overcooked. This was perfectly cooked, medium rare and juicy inside. The skin was crispy. The almonds were fried crispy and had a good season to it. Very satisfied. The waitress was also very friendly and available--she made sure to check up on us every so often. We also noticed the bar is a good vibe/social bar. The several times we were there, the bar was filled with people wanting to have a good drink and good time. The bartenders were also very thrilled to make drinks off the menu if you asked. There's also a semi-private room great for hosting parties/events. Sometimes this place is super busy and others you can just walk in. I still recommend making a reservation just in case! Vibe: Dark industrial modern.“
“I had an amazing experience, living in the OC for 8 years so far I don't know how I didn't know this place existed. Foods are delicious, the service is great, would be good if they added some sort of omelets brunch foods, and open more hours but I guess that's a business decision. Will recommend“
“Been coming to this location for last 7 years and not once was I disappointedThe food is always deliciousThe service is beyond exemplaryI try to dine in or order to go at least once a weekBeats cooking nowadays with my busy schedulesShout out to the GM, Kenton, and his staff of excellence of the food and the services“
“The food was delicious, staff was very kind, and the restaurant was warm and beautiful. Our waiter was a little too fast in getting our order in rather than listening to us, so our order came out incorrect. As soon as he realized, he apologized and brought out a complimentary dish of the proper order. Will definitely be back here for dinner service and to try all the dishes!“
“Select led this place to Celebrate my birthday. Food was good and our server was very helpful and provided us with excellent service. The noise was a little too loud for my liking since is a small place and they crammed a bar in the front entrance of the restaurant. Tables are also too close together and we can hear others' conversations.“
“GREAT quality restaurant/bar with fresh and delicious appetizers and entrees, and quick and friendly staff and service. They also have AWESOME Happy Hour service with a generous timeslot from 4-7 p.m., Mon. - Fri. We'll DEFINITELY be back, as regulars!“
“Wonderful experience dining at Seasons 52. Our server Juan took great care of us and I’ve never had a more perfectly cooked tender steak. It was a birthday celebration & they made us feel so special. Ambiance was intimate & warm. Before our meals end we were plotting our next return and who we were bringing with us. As we left, I was able to express to John the manager just how much we enjoyed our evening at Seasons 52.“
“this place is amazing from food to the staff. You cannot go wrong with any of their burgers or one of their salads. The drinks are amazing and the staff is super friendly every time I'm here the waiter or waitress is so sweet literally every time“
“3 companions and I dined at Populaire Modern Bistro in South Coast Plaza on 2/21/24 and I ordered the prix fixe menu. We bought a bottle of wine separately. The PF menu was $65 per person and well worth it. Everything was spectacular. The blending of flavors with the heirloom carrots was unique. I'm not normally a huge fan of tartare normally, but it was really flavorful. The beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth tender and even the rice pudding - which I can normally take or leave - had some wonderful, unexpected flavors. Don't be fooled by the "bistro" label. This was definitely a cut above the normal bistro fare of steak and frites or Croque Monsieur.Our server was warm and efficient. She was friendly enough to stop and talk but took her cue from us, which was much appreciated. The location used to be part of the Corner Bakery chain. It was remodeled in part, but it's in South Coast Plaza mall so not a ton of atmosphere. Once you taste the food, you won't care!“
“First time here. Food was outstanding and you can tell its family owned, the quality and tradition of the dishes is obvious. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. We had the steak kabob and the chicken kabob plates along with taziki and hummus starters. The mixed rice was delishes and had an abundance of lentils and raises. We will definitely be back!“
“Came with another couple to celebrate a birthday. We all had a wonderful meal and a wonderful, memorable evening that was nonpretentious. Dress preferred is business casual. This was a fun, upbeat restaurant. Service was exceptional!Vegetarian options: They had a few items.to choose from.Parking: Valet parking $7“
“This is hands down one of my favorite go to's ! Anything and I mean anything on this menu is amazing !! You all know my palate it Hass to be beyond delicious and this place is!!! we also ended up going to the saloon, which is right next-door so fun with the live band. People are fun friendly. I had people sponsoring my drinks and I sponsored people as well good times!! Must try the Ranch then dance it off next door go to my food4pondering page on IG for food pics Trio ceviche is a must try !!“
“We went for brunch and it was so good!! The Surfer Rancheros were amazing. Everything was fresh, healthy, and delicious! The mimosa flight was a lot of fun. Kale-apple juice and the pineapple juice were our favorites.Dietary restrictions: So many gluten free and vegan options on the menu.“
“Service was so friendly. Food was great, down to the fries.Kim who walked me to the table is the very warm & friendly manager asked what occasion we were there for. And our server asked me for the spelling of my friend’s name who was the birthday girl. And wished her a hbd when she arrived, along with a thoughtful dessert at the end. All around attentive and smiley service from everyone. Plus the complimentary champagne upon greeting is a great touch.Enjoyed the vibe of the outdoor patio.Parking: Valet available. If you’re self parking you could get lucky at the small lot in front of the restaurant with limited spaces. Otherwise you probably have to go closer to the main parking across the restaurant; all close by, short walk.“
“It was an amazing experience with Charisse as our server! She made us feel like family's.... Her recommendations and attention to detail were second to none! I highly recommend her for supervisor duties.... Her knowledge and understanding of the menu were excellent. Thank you Charisse!“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Arc Food & Libations, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Kaelan, our server, provided top-notch service, making our meal truly memorable. From their attentive and friendly demeanor to their extensive knowledge of the menu, Kaelan ensured that every aspect of our dining experience was enjoyable. The food at Arc was equally impressive, with each dish expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. The ambiance was cozy yet chic, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. I highly recommend Arc Food & Libations to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience accompanied by impeccable service.“
“Service was great - there was more than one person assisting with clearing our table, wiping off the crumbs. The view of the marina was beautiful. Even though they technically don't have a kids menu, they accommodated us with a few options for our toddler. The food was delicious especially the cauliflower appetizer.“
“The food and atmosphere was incredible…burrata, meatballs and Mary’s chicken are fantastic. The burger and ceviche is also incredible. A not to miss spot right on the water. Savannah is also incredible with beer and wine recommendations as well as food knowledge. Highly recommend.“
“You should consider your reservation to Trust as a dinner show starring master chef Justin, sous chef Kyle, wine expert Trish and Jared, the man that makes things happen. This 13 course diner show included the absolute best bread in town, duck, steak and ravioli amongst others, finished with three different desserts. Chef Justin told story with each course served, the wine was not just served, Trish gifted with love. So did the deserts, you can tell that Kyle had poured his heart and soul into the sweets.Be on time for your reservation and bring a hungry appetite. It is worth it.“
“Grrat food and drink. Nice beer selection. Servers were very friendly. I will say that, in the few times I've been, the servers do not seem to check back that often. It's probably because you pay at the table but I've wanted to order more and when nobody checked back, I just gave up and payed.“
“I've been trying to come to this place for the past couple years but they've always been closed since they're not open Sunday-Wednesday which is usually when we drive down to Disneyland from the Bay Area. We were finally able to come down on a Saturday and reserve a spot way in advance. Food was good but we came to drink the drinks. The ambiance was amazing they and a DJ and views of the parks with fireworks.“
“Good food, good service, don't be surprised at the prices.The pomme in the menu is not fries (pomme frites), it's (apparently) pomegranate.Parking: The restaurant entrance is a little hard to find if you haven't been there and it's raining. There appears to be outside seating.“
“Came here for a birthday lunch on a Wednesday. The lunch menu was very limited and I wish they included a seafood or fish option for a main option. Nonetheless, the food we ordered was delicious! We shared the steak and frites, Caesar salad, lemon bucatini, and classic cheesecake. The filet was incredibly tender - I loved the spice from the peppercorns. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the taste was great. The saltiness from the pork bits balanced so well with the lemon flavor. The Caesar salad was my least favorite. The dressing tasted a bit too fishy and the "croutons" were comparable to soft bread.. not crunchy enough. Lastly, the classic cheesecake was one of the best I've ever tasted. I had no complains about the service. Nonetheless, this restaurant's ambiance is incredible. I recommend you to make reservations, even for a weekday! We went right when it opened at 11am. The main dining room was full when we left around noon.“
“Went there for a quick bite after the HAI show. Food was good, had the scallops as appetizer was really good with the mushroom and purée of cauliflower.Then for main tried the Lamb Tagliatelle. Really good choiceNice restaurant inside the Weston “
“Our new favorite place in Irvine! We ordered soup and delicious sandwich combo that came with herb tossed chips!, crispy shaved (and fried crispy) Brussels sprouts Bánh mì with bright assortment of onion, cilantro, cucumber, etc, and Face plant sandwich packed with mounds of sprouts, avocado, and other really fresh veggies, celebrating the freshness and the flavor of plant based ingredients. Really looking forward to our next time and explore other items.“
“I fkn love this place! We have been coming to The Cauldron since 2019 and every year it's like the first. Everything about this spot is magical and intriguing. The drink are mouth watering and the food is delicious. We fall in love with this place and each other all over again every year.“
“Cannot remember our waiters name but he was OUTSTANDING. We dined with our pets and he just made the night. Was so knowledgeable about our wine we ordered. The whole staff was on top of everything. Given this is a beach town a lot of places seem to be too laid back and no urgency. Here. Everything from the fresh oysters to the surf and turf were out of this world.“
“These guys have dialed it in! In response to a message I recieved after my prior review I requested no seasoning and well done for my fries and wow, what an improvement! The chicken crimsons were amazing as always. 10/10 This time we tried the onion. It was kind of like an awesome blossum from outback. 9 bucks and lots of delicious crispy savory onion for the price. This place is very nice inside, I carried good out this time but, used their restroom on this visit. It is very clean and well maintained. We will be back for sure, thanks for the good eats, Crimson Coward!“
“Round up your foodie friends because I have found THE perfect spot for your next aesthetic night out, this place will instantly transport you to a fairy garden oasis.With their seasonally inspired menu, we had to order a little bit of everything, and I recommend that you do too! Be sure to try the Gochujang fried chicken, Braised short ribs, and Brown butter cake that it is absolutely out of this world.And can’t forget about the drinks! Butterfly strawberry spritzer and Lavender lemon basil cocktails, both were super pretty and strong.Thanks for reading! ^-^“
“Celebrating Christmas Eve Brunch at the Mayor's was incredible. Not only did they have the largest selection of top-quality foods, but their service was fantastic! It was all you can eat, and it was hard to stop devouring plate after plate. They had really refreshing iced tea with rose water in it. I didn't expect to see an ice sculpture as their centerpiece. I hope to come back again soon, as it was quite the experience.Vegetarian options: A lot of great optionsKid-friendliness: They offered a reduced price for kids, and they loved the experience!“
“Great place. We have eaten here several times. Service and atmosphere is always top notch. The food is really good. Salads are big enough to share. It may be our imagination but while the prices are on the high side the servings seem to be getting smaller.“
“Just finished breakfast and all I can say is wow!From the service and attention to the deliciousness of the food. This is a must for sure!We were worried we wouldn't find something for the kids after scanning the menu and the waiter was quick to give us a ton of options, all of which the kids devoured. Would definitely recommend, especially since we didn't have to wait for a table of 7 mid-morning on a Saturday.“
“Celebrated our anniversary here and we couldn't have been happier. The venue was easy to find and the ambiance was exactly our vibe. I recommend everyone order their poke nachos, it was enough for at least 3 to 4 people. The drinks were great, but it was the decor, music, and scenery that really livened up the atmosphere. We can't wait to come back during the summer to catch the sunset and try more dishes. We absolutely loved it here.“
“I have been going to Mariposa for a long time and love everything about the restaurant. But this time when I opened the menu, there were popover flakes all over the menu. I overlooked that I guess. But when I was served the chicken consommé, the plate was dirty. That's so unlike the restaurant. I'm hoping in the future, they keep the place cleaner than this experience.“
“My husband and I love this place for date nights. The food is consistently great. The music and dancing is romantic. And Frankie and the bar staff always provide top notch service. My favorite drink is the Irish-O and my husband likes the old fashioned. Guacamole and chips is a great appetizer. And we usually order the steak and chicken entrees. I am never disappointed at Bistango.“
“We relaxed and enjoyed the end of a busy day here and the gentleman who served us let us know as we paid our tab it was his first day. He was professional and very pleasant. Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“
“Didn’t try the food here but came for some beers prior to the Angels game v. Red Sox. Beers were honestly nothing to write home about, but the much space and multiple bars everywhere to cater for the crowds before a game was a nice vibe. Families, couples, or friends, this place is worth a look. Effortless walk to the stadium as well as it’s across the street.“
“Only had drinks there. They had all the different types of bourbons. I tried the old pepper which is very good if you like. Rye. Mostly bar food that was on the menu. I did not try anything. Would go back and try the bar food. They had a bartender in training but she did very well. Good place to just hang out.“
“Love this place. The drinks are really, really good. Even a plain old mimosa is delicious. But the food is just exquisite. A cut above most places. You gotta try the fried cauliflower appetizer.Parking: Parking in this part of NB is a nightmare. But you'll find a spot.“
“Always phenomenal. Great people making delicious and healthy food. One of a kind restaurant and market.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. I opt usually for the incredible beans, which I also regularly buy and make at home. They are distributed by a company called Rancho Gordo. If you have never tried their beans and are a bean lover, life is about to get a little sweeter.Parking: Free parking behind the restaurant.“
“After a day of traveling and then working we wanted a casual dinner in an upbeat place. Our group tried the Fajita Salad, Blue Cheese and Avocado Burger, and the Pineapple Burger. The Pineapple Burger had it's hints of sweetness and was very good even though I expected more than one piece of pineapple on the burger. The Fajita Salad was very well balanced and fresh! The Blue Cheese amd Avocado burger was my favorite though!!!! Of the beer on tap we had the Cali Squeeze Blood Orange which is a Wheat Beer, and the Una Mas, which is an Amber. Both were good if you like those types!Parking: There was not a lot of parking as it shares the lot but we eventually found a place to park.“
“This is the restaurant in the Sonesta Hotel in Irvine and deserves to be frequented by more than hotel guests. The staff is really lovely and they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, of course the food is very good and portions are plentiful. I hope you get to enjoy this spot sometime:)“
“By far one of the coolest spots in Anaheim! Love their food, ambiance but by far their customer service is immaculate. They are super kind, our server Robbin was on it. He was efficient, knowledgeable about our food and drinks and had amazing communication skills, the other servers were awesome too. We got to enjoy the 8 course menu along with some tasty cocktails. I personally loved the ceviche tostada, lamb chop & crispy sushi rice with prime smoked brisket... the cocktails that were paired were amazing. I loved the "somewhere in Japan" it had whisky sake, flower water,yuzu plum, egg white.10/10 recommend for your next date night or girls night out.“
“We ate here twice on our trip .. Food was fantastic, everyone in our group loved what they ordered. Didn't take long to get our food. Staff was exceptional, very very friendly and super nice! Little difficult to find at night, kinda hidden but well worth it!“
“Amazing. Ordered the Shrimp for the protein. Side of roasted Broccoli with seasoned bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. The very fresh fruit bowl consisting of grapes ( sliced in half) a few segments of very sweet tangerine and pineapple as a delightful finish.Oh yes; and the encore... The cookie and lemon cake..My wife and I will be back.“
“I love yardhouse! Their wings are the best. My boyfriend and I always get them for starters. My usual order is always either the Grilled Chicken and Avocado Sandwich or the Classic Cheeseburger! So yummy. And for my drink I always get the Sparkling Refreshers with Topo Chico.“
“I went there for lunch with three friends. It was sprinkling and cold so we went inside instead of the covered patio area. Inside was very noisy, we could barely hear ourselves speak. The area is small with a huge bar. Next time we come we will try the patio area. The food and service were great.“
“Had my guilty pleasure, a fried chicken sandwich. Came on a 4 section King's bakery roll so it was like getting 4 sliders. Tender, juicy chicken with a light fried chicken coating. Wasn't overly greasy and it was easy to cut into the 4 sections so I shared one with my wife who also enjoyed it.“
“Great place for an delicious dinner and is a good value. This is the old Ruby's restaurant. This restaurant didn't do much to change the decor after taking it over from Ruby's, so it has a sort of a coffee shop feel which is fine. Food was delicious and service was excellent! They have a full bar, and live entertainment later in eve. We will be back!“
“My family and I live close by and we finally got to try Black Angus. When we walked in, we were greeted by our host Justin. He was super friendly and took time to show us the best items on the menu. My wife's ribeye was delicious, and my son loved the artichoke dip! We were very pleased by the service that night and we will be back soon!“
