“Food was awesome! Husband got a mushroom swiss burger and said it was amazing ... daughter had a side of Mac and Cheese which she loved and it wasn't a box kraft like some restaurants try to do. I had tomato soup and it was creamy and not to acidic! Yum!
Service was pretty none existent since u order on a machine and then go uo can get your own food after the buzzer and tables we were able to find pretty well on a Sunday afternoon.
Overall great experience“

“Tried out for an early dinner on Friday while visiting Irvine on business. Appreciated curated selection of drinks (I went for my tried and true choice of wine, instead of those varieties of cocktails) and menu. Jessica, the server, was attentive, super friendly and great with menu recommendations. Had the arugula salad, filet, cooked to perfection, and coffee cake. Will be coming back with mom to enjoy next time. Highly recommend.“

“My husband, toddler and I went here for an early lunch. We got there right when it opened and they were a little slow to get us set up. But the server was excellent and very professional. I got the Spa Water drink, it was very nice for a warm morning. We sat on the patio by the pool and my toddler was loud, no problems. The food was perfectly priced for the quality. I’d definitely come eat here again and may even consider staying at the hotel.“

“First, this unpretentious looking outer building is bland and in a strip mall. In we went to find a welcoming interior.

The burgers were absolutely amazing. I was skeptical over the price, but open minded. When I tasted the burger, I realized why the prices seemed a bit higher. The meat was premium, seasoned to perfection. Yes, Handcrafted really means it.

They had a great selection of craft beers on tap also.

You will dream about this place after your visit!“

“I love the cool clean freshness of modern architecture and light the restaurant provides; with a decided touch of old ranch atmosphere; you can be left alone to yourself, or join in community. The food is varied, always fresh, healthy, creative modern nouvelle cuisine along with more traditional dishes, the ingredients definitely high quality -California Sunshine. If you really wish to muse, meditate, read, or silently work, the place is surrounded by little nooks and crannies in the midst of nature. You can even lull yourself to a nap, abandoning all care for a few precious minutes. Or else you can sit outside in community, perhaps choosing a more intimate table conversational setting on certain days, resolving the woes or the theories our world is constructed on. All together a complete experience🙏 Thank you.“
