It's a hotel bar, so keep that in mind, it also gets really crowded on the weekends. The drinks were ok, I did ask the bartender to make my date something using descriptions and he whipped something up for us that was good. The firepits outside were nice and the interior décor is very modern, the only issue I had with the interior design is there is a giant gaping hole into the hotel lobby that makes the place feel too open, would be nicer if it felt like a smaller space. There was also loud live music going on (one guy with his guitar) that made it impossible to hear people without yelling, wouldn't expect that at a hotel bar. The only major negative thing that impacted my review though was that it took about 20 minutes to place a drink order and I was standing at the bar top for that entire time, service was just too slow. Staff were friendly, drinks were average, overall I enjoyed it.

Based on other Yelp reviews, I decided to try the FLOE Lounge. I ordered the signature burger to go. It was a great experience. The people who helped me were pleasant and efficient considering how busy it was. The burger was excellent and prepared to perfection. The picture doesn't do it justice. I look forward to trying other items.

It was my first time here and the atmosphere was great! very diverse and inclusive. The drinks were good but the menu is limited. The waitress's attitude made up for it, had a good time with great vibes. Recommend for late night eats and drinks

Delicious! Great service too! We were disappointed that there wasn't really a "lounge" atmosphere. The lights were bright, there wasn't any music, and the restaurant was pretty empty. Other than this, we have zero complaints. The drinks were seriously some of the tastiest creations I've had in a super long time. We ordered the wings and man were they delicious! I immediately ordered a second order. I also had the Caesar side salad, my husband had the salmon, and I ordered another dish that I can't remember. I know it was good because I ate it. We followed it up with a latte, churros, and Sambuca. We will eat here again when we just want to be chill and pig out.

Overnight at the Irvine Marriott for an early flight from SNA.The hotel is as reliable, comfortable and well managed as can be expected from a Marriott, but the Floe Lounge was a real let-down.Open to the lobby, less than convivial, and on the night we were there (May 5) the lounge singer was truly awful.And LOUD! Made check-in, fully 50' or more away, a shouting match.Staff were friendly, however, and seemingly as off-put as we were.

Another review from late Feb that was stuck in my drafts during our staycation in Irvine. What a nice surprise this was inside the Irvine Marriott. I am glad we ended up trying Floe Lounge. Service was excellent and the selection and quality of food matches the service. Burger is not really my go-to but when I asked the server what their popular dishes are and what is his favorite - he said the speakeasy burger and chicken wings. These 2 items were indeed excellent and will order them again if we happen to be in the area.

Had the scallops, it’s ok but was still hungry.

Company function that wound up at Floe to cap the evening. As a larger group we were given an area to sit and mingle. Service was spot on and accommodating. Had their wings (had a craving) and love that you receive them with just a dry rub. On the plate you are give three dips and ranch to sample and enjoy. The wings hit the spot. Overall, food, service, and atmosphere were all enjoyable and will be sure to stop by on another company function. Thanks FLOE.

I came here on a Saturday night with my hubby. Vanessa was our server, she totally got our vibe and did a great job while letting us enjoy ourselves. The food was delicious, we ordered the chicken wings with the sauces on the side; crispy and tasty, just to die for. For the entrees, we ordered two Harvest Salad with the ahi tuna add on. Nice seared on the ahi and it had a nice layer of sesame seeds. I typically don't order salad but this was a good one. They had live music for the icing on the cake. A chill atmosphere for a Saturday night!

My wife and I wanted to have a nice dinner in Irvine because we were in town. We were very happy that we chose to dine in Floe lounge because it had a great ambiance. There was live music, tasty food, and the server was terrific. We had the chicken wings that were very tasty and the Harvest Salad with Ahi Tuna which was to die for. We will be back again next time we are in town. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
I ordered a Asian citrus salmon. It's a good portion. Food is good. If you are traveling here and looking for Asian flavor dish, you can give it a try.

We stayed at the Irvine Marriott and stumbled upon Floe, the in-hotel restaurant/lounge. It was big and alot of seating. The restaurant was nice and the atmosphere was good. This restaurant has fantastic food and the service was really good!!I was very happy and pleased with this place. We had the chicken wings- great! We had the pizza- fantastic! I had the eggs and steelcut oatmeal. The oatmeal was plentiful and thick and tasted well. I enjoyed each bit of it. I wish this place was closer to me, but I will be back to the hotel and area.

By coincidence came by and Benjamin was awesome. Provided a lot of knowledge about the food & drinks. Wonderful drinks & delicious gelato! Want to come and stay at the hotel to be able to eat all night here.

Came here on a Saturday night. Parking was kinda hard to find not sure if it was really dark but had some trouble navigating the entrance and exits. Bar was spacious and the food was really delicious! Drinks were pricey but it's a Marriott!

While there are some really top-notch eateries near the Marriott hotel, their resident eatery is no slouch.FLOE's team is friendly and helpful. The food is tasty and well portioned. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was actually, I ate every last bite.
