Whiskey Bars near Irvine, CA

“My wife and I won a gift certificate to this restaurant a few months ago, and decided recently to use it. WOW! We were stunned that we had never heard of this place before, especially given how frequently we eat out. We were so impressed by the cocktails and food that we have gone back 3 times in the last month. The whisk(e)y selection is world class and the creativity of Leo the bartender is definitely to be experienced! The service is polite, accommodating, and friendly. We are big fans of Alley (spelled phonetically). She is sunshine in a pretty package! If you like creative food or just a plain steak, this is The Place to eat! Enjoy!“

“My wife and I stopped by for lunch on a Monday. It was not at all busy so we were seated right away. We ordered legacy fries with garlic Parmesan cheese, harvest salad (arugula and artisan lettuce) and Dan Talk Thai (shrimp and salmon in coconut milk sauce over jasmine rice). Fries were one of the best I've had... crispy with the right amount of garlic and Parmesan cheese. The salad was refreshing with an Indian or Mediterranean spice dressing. The Thai dish was a nice balance of sweet and savory although the Jasmine was cooked a little al dente for our taste. Overall, we had a nice experience and will return to this farm to table restaurant.“

“Excellent experience. This place v is beautifully designed. Exquisite drinks with really funny names. I'm a bit boring and stuck to water, but my husband had the slim thik. By the way, it's a gin drink, and I detest gin. However, I did take a small sip, and it was truly tasted amazing.
To start, the skillet cornbread was ordered and devoured. Then, our dinner options included beet salad with salmon. My husband, mac n cheese, we also had the risotto aranchi (sp). All the dishes were crafted perfectly and tasted amazing. Bring an appetite when you go! I wasn't super famished but I know good food when I eat it. We'll be back with friends for sure!
I know there is something they could improve on, and I'm not sure what right now. That's why only 4 stars! Everyone can always improve!“
