New American Restaurants in Irvine, CA

“Ate at the Jamboree location in Tustin and cashier Ali was courteous, kind, knowledgeable and very helpful in helping us understand the menu options. Even offered a couple samples to make sure we ordered something we’d enjoy. Great customer service!“

“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Marco at Urban Plates, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Marco was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience truly enjoyable. He took the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and ensured our food was prepared just right. His positive attitude and attention to detail made us feel welcomed and valued as customers. Urban Plates is lucky to have someone like Marco, who clearly takes pride in his work. We will definitely be back, thanks to his exceptional service! Highly recommend!“

“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“

“Great atmosphere and great service and good value.“

“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.“

“Best comfort food ever! The thing I miss about living in California the most is the spaghetti grilled cheese at Burnt Crumbs. It will change your life. I would order three at a time and eat half a sandwich each day for lunch. If you guys wanna franchise in Detroit let me know lol 💯 💯 🔥 🔥“

“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!“

“Good happy hour food. Excellent allergy menu and options. Great beer selection and well made Vodka Martini with blue cheese olives. Excellent servers and hostess.

Dietary restrictions: Great allergen menu online. Terrific knowledgable servers.“

“I love this place…!!! Been coming here for many years…!!! Never disappoints… tasting menu is a must try at least once… you may try it again and again and never get the same thing… but ALWAYS good…!!!“

“Great Food and atmosphere! Mosic was our server and he was awesome. Asked what we were into for both food and cocktails and his recommendations were spot on. The Panama Prescription was divine and I loved the shrimp and grits. My husband had the 12 hour short rib and I can’t tell you which was better. We will be back with friends!“

“Went with my parents for an early Christmas dinner and service was great… food was delicious… and atmosphere was on point!“

“Great food, highly recommend the fried chicken. Servers are fantastic.“

“It was my first time here, and I found this place while searching for a restaurant nearby. I was curious, so I decided to check it out. I was amazed by the delicious food and professional service. I especially loved the vibe of the place; it was really great! Definitely worth the visit!“

“We are locals, and sometimes even walk over with the dog to sit outside and enjoy the outdoor tables, and the delicious sandwiches. They do a great job and always offer great service!“

“Very accommodating! Delicious! Beautiful plates and great service! Emily was great!“

“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.“

“It’s a fast food place in a food court close to John Wayne airport. I didn’t have high expectations for the steamed bao. But it’s actually pretty good and the steamed egg is really soft and tender. I also had the soybean milk which tastes very fresh and authentic.“

“wonderful food - never had a bad meal here. Their lentil soup is fantastic.“

“This is the first place I have found in Orange County that makes a hot chicken that is legitimately too hot to handle. And I say that as I sweat through the next 3 tenders. It's fantastic but I'll actually order something a little milder next time. Get Clucked means business.“

“The hotel is clean and hygienic. Quiet on vacation. Like🥰🥰“

“Food was delicious 😋 service was 👍“

“Deanne and Jose were fabulous servers. The quiet atmosphere was so nice and refreshing. Happy Hour was great, the food and drinks were a great deal kand we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was good and we will definitely come back to try other options!“
