“Stopped here before my gfs departing flight and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was wonderful, the drinks were stiff and reasonably priced, and our bartender (Tucker) was the kindest and most efficient bartender I’ve ever had in my life. From now on, this place will be a mandatory go-to before flying out of SNA.“

“Luis was the bartender and also the only person in the entire FOH when I ordered my fish taco near closing time at 10pm as I had just arrived at SNA airport less than an hour prior and had a fantastic complimentary shuttle ride with our driver Ruben. Although my order and payment weren't processed like clockwork, it was done within ten minutes and Luis was very gracious and easy in spirit despite his hardworking hustle and bustle, and the best fish taco I've ever eaten in my life including the homemade salsa, tortilla, and chips were actually made in less than ten minutes also so essentially I had the greatest fish taco in my life while receiving excellent service from Luis the gentle warrior and chatting with the gentleman who was waiting to order alongside me all in less than an hour and this establishment ranked in my top 3 eateries throughout my entire weeklong trip to Irvine alongside Vaca the MIchelin-starred Spanish restaurant and Moulin the authentic Parisian bakery and cafe. I plan to return again and again to Vibrante once I move to Irvine this summer! PS: The cod in the fish taco is locally caught & cooked to perfection!“

“This is a beer and wine bar located inside Whole Foods. The have a varied draft beer selection including Allagash White and Kirin. The server I believe also works for Whole Foods so it was rare that I saw them behind the counter. Overall, it's okay to grab a drink here if you're already grabbing food at Whole Foods anyway, but not a place you could "regular" at.“

“Let me start by saying I love filemignon... so at date night, I start my search at filemignon near me, depending where I am at that time... this place is definitely a diamond in the rough 8 oz. Filet Mignon for $38!!! The mashed potatoes could have been more buttery or flavorful in some other way., but the truffle Mac and cheese was fantastic! I was also happy that they had Caymus by the glass, which I cannot get pretty many places. The icing on the cake was my wife had the Chilean sea bass and compared it to mexico's & demolished the whole plate (which is rare)!!! Also, the Tar Tar was epic with a little spice (ask for more won tons).
Service is great and surprisingly, there was many sitting available. We'll definitely be back.“

“Hit or miss from my experience. Some of the food options are great (burgers, pizzas) but some are absolutely ridiculously horrible (the sliders, never get them; you're better off buying frozen angus burgers and microwaving them).

Service is overall pretty good based on who you get. My servers have always been pretty friendly and helpful, and the bartenders have been pretty attentive and happy from my experience.

This spot gets a super packed on weekends, and gets very loud. Very warm and dim interior, making for a very chill vibe overall.

Worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for decent food at a pretty fair price.“
