50 Best Wine Bars near Irvine

“We’re frequent patrons of Postino Wine Cafe on South Broadway, San Antonio, TX. Love the ambiance, food, wine & service. Last night we experienced them at their finest! Ray & Mark went above and beyond in making our daughter-in-laws 50th birthday celebration special. The 50th balloons, cake accessories, & gift card were unexpected & appreciated. This is a place to go for a special celebration! Chef Joseph prepared a variety of delicious boards & more. They truly give top notch attention to detail & service. Highly recommend!“

“Went to Cozy Pine for date night and we enjoyed it. Really feels like you are in a different place, inside a restaurant. Decor, cocktails and food were all great. Definitively worth stopping in.
Food is mostly “snacky” compared to Bacchus outside. We did not have a reservation and we’re still able to get seated, likely because we arrived early in the evening.“

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

“They really out did themselves. I told them it was my 2 year anniversary, they put it on the menu (that we were able to take home), put decorative hearts on the table, and brought out a cheesecake that had happy anniversary on it written in chocolate! I've been here multiple times but it was my plus one's first time here and they really made her feel special. Thank you again Ruth Chris Irvine you guys killed it! Oh, and the food was absolutely delicious. Can't go wrong with the 3 for 60 deal“

“For a hotel restaurant and bar. It's done very well. Moving on.

The staff is extremely nice and professional. The options are great for quick bites, lunch or dinner.

The food tastes fresh. The drinks are great.

Upon walking up to the bar area I was greeted immediately. Staff immediately gave me a menu. And mentioned a special that day. They also let me know that there was a happy hour. Happy hour!? Can't go wrong there can we lol.

I've had the club sandwich, wings and burger.

Club sandwich. Pretty much your average club sandwich. However the ingredients are fresh. Yes it's processed turkey slices. But that's ok. They're good quality ones at that. And they don't skimp. It was a very large well proportioned sandwich.

Wings. Alright these are the star of the show.
Simple but done right. You know when you just want something good? And everywhere just over does it trying to be different? Not these. Simple hot wings cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Burger.
Ok this is actually insanely good with the bacon.
And their fries are nice and crispy tasty freshness.

So would I recommend this place? Most definitely.
And if you're staying here. No need to go off site for food. The food here is legit.

Enjoy!“

“Their wine dinners are incredible!“

“Nara is a top-tier experience! The food is authentic to the true flavors of Thailand, and every dish is rich and layered with flavors.

It’s clear that every detail was highly considered, from the atmosphere of the setting, to the authentic Thai dishes, to the presentation of each plate. And the team is amazing! Fiona and Michael are wonderful hosts, Joel is a humble and skilled chef, and Sofia and Tara are a lovely, attentive, and beautiful presence. I will absolutely return again!“

“Beautiful location, great waiter and delicious food! Will definitely come back.“

“We definitely will be back, many times. This was a great experience. Jean Claude and the owner Earnest - were fabulous and so friendly. You won’t find another spot with this kind of friendly staff AND excellent food. Thanks for a great night out.“

“This place absolutely blew my mind!! Thank you Scotty for taking care of us the whole evening. The ambience was super cool and intimate. Very trendy and hip. everything we ate was EXCEPTIONAL! We. had the carrots, squash, zucchini bread, swordfish and apple cider doughnuts. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place and can't wait to return with new friends to introduce to it!“

“Awesome staff and wine !!!!!❤️❤️❤️“

“Great atmosphere, food, and drinks...and sometimes has live music too!“

“Popped in with my wife for a drink before dinner and I wished we could have stayed longer. We grabbed a seat at the bar and both got the bartenders choice flight, which comes with (3) 2ounce glasses. Edwin picked some solid choices that we both loved. He was also saying they have trivia nights on Thursdays. All in all a solid place to go hang out with a date or even a group of people. Edwin you’ve done an amazing job with the place. Keep up the great work. Thanks for a great evening. Will Definitely be back.“

“Great little shady spot for some adult quiet time.“

“I literally stumbled in to WIP or waiting for some service on my car. I feel fortunate to have found this perfect spot. Obviously more than a coffee joint - it’s smart, stylish and engagingly current. Populated by an intriguing, vibrant and smart crowd.“

“The food was delicious every bite of it 👍😄🥰“

“Ordered skirt steak, sea scallops and oysters and all were excellent!“

“Great atmosphere by the pool. Well staffed and friendly team members. Menu has good food. You'll pay hotel bar prices but top notch convenience and food arrives relatively quickly. Can order food at the bar to go or eat seated with full service. Menu is very limited but there are adult and kid favorites. Restaurant is quite a distance from parking lot, and restaurant does not validate parking.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If I could give more stars, I would! This place is everything — inclusive, welcoming, and filled with nothing but top-tier vibes. The service is absolutely top notch — every detail is handled with care and heart. Whether you’re attending a cozy gathering or a full-blown celebration, the energy here is immaculate. Truly the best events in town. A gem for the community and a must-experience for anyone who loves intentional, magical spaces. ✨“

“We had an awesome time there. The bartender was great! She really made us feel at home.“

“Great place. Excellent service and food was great!“

“Pre dinner drinks at the bar were excellent. My wife enjoyed the warm up drinks. Front hosts were very friendly and ensured that our table was ready. Dinner was very good. My wife ordered the pork plate and i ordered the crunchy tuna salad. Our waitress was also attentive.“

“Love this place! The owners are wonderful people. Every time I go I feel like I’m family. The wines are amazing (try the Olsen’s Ovation), and they are huge supporters of the live music community. Please support this incredible local business ❤️“

“My fiance and I were in the area for my nephew's wedding. On Sunday morning, we looked for a breakfast location. We prefer the small local restaurants as opposed to the chains. Up popped this Laguna Cafe, close by where we were staying. From the time we entered the door, it was obvious we picked the right spot! it was cozy, homey, friendly and downright delicious. The clientele were all laughing, enjoying the morning and the atmosphere. We got served by Monja, the proprietor, who wore a shirt with our favorite scripture, John 3:16. As we bowed our heads to pray, she gently joined us in prayer. What a blessing. Needless to say, we will go back when in the area. Highly recommend the food too! And say Hi to Monja from Mark and Dianne from Arizona!“

“La comida es buenísima, atención de calidad, ambiente hermoso!“

“The food was delicious every bite of it 👍😄🥰“

“It was a great time for me and my hubby. Great date night. Karen the owner, was very hospitable and so talented. She teaches and gave me techniques to ‘correct’ my paintings. I’m a sweet wine drinker so the moscato was so yummy! We will be back for sure to do another!“

“Exelent servís the food is exelent“

“Delicious menu and excellent staff! I’ve visited this Rye Goods location a few times and can’t say anything negative. The coffee is fantastic—which is hard to find in this area. My favorite menu item is the “Seasonal Fruit Ricotta Toast,” always prepared to perfection. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Good stuff good stuff goo“

“Fabulous dinner and ambiance plus the he most delicious Rocklet!!!“

“This is my favorite restaurant! I loved it back when it was on Bristol, but I have been back to the new Red Hill location twice now and it is even more of a special dining experience. Massimo has come out to explain the history of the wine and food and the sources of his ingredients. He tells wonderful stories with a great sense of humor, and his daughter who helps serve is also very knowledgeable and delightful. I feel transported and hosted in a way I have never experienced in a restaurant. The food is amazing. The fresh handmade pasta melts in your mouth. We have eaten every dessert and they are all spectacular. Every wine and appetizer we have tried has been extraordinary. I couldn't recommend this place more.“

“The food & service were great“

“We always enjoy stopping by Love being a member 🍷 This Sunday we enjoy wine tasting and brought some Rose and Sauvignon Blanc Great staff“

“This was a wonderful find. The menu and food are simple ingredients but they did a great job with flavor, texture, and temperature. All the dishes we ordered were delicious.

The service was great as well. They treated us like guests at their house.“

“Wonderful delicious food and great service. I took my mom here for her birthday because she wanted pasta tossed in a cheese wheel she was very impressed and loved her dish. Truly a special birthday! Thank you to the amazing staff for their service!“

“How have we not noticed this place before now. We took an evening stroll and then stopped by this restaurant. They have 2 window seats which is nice to get some fresh air and people watch.

We were told that the food was great so we decided to sit down. They have a wide variety of food items and I'm sure the drinks are good but we don't drink.

I opted for the ahi sandwich and I could get it protein style which I appreciate with a side salad. It was really tasty. The ahi wasn't fishy. The thicker section did get a little chewy but that was the next day since I couldn't finish it all. I wish I had more sauce though since it was tasty. My friend got the burger with fries and thought it was good as well.

It can get loud when the middle table has guests, something w/the acoustics. But a fun vibe. There was a waitlist when we left.“

“Great selection of beers and wines, and I love that they have both wine and beer on tap. The sandwiches and breakfast burritos are really good too! The people working here are very knowledgeable about beers and wines, they always have a recommendation. I’ve been coming here for over 10 years, highly recommend.“

“It's one of the few restaurants I like“

“Great happy hour and good food. We went here while staying at the hotel for our Disney trip and it ended up being our groups rest spot after a long day. If you're going to get a specialty cocktail, the Smoky Sparrow was really smooth and the aromatics were wonderful. The server/bartender Zaira was really attentive and kind to our group with toddlers.“

“We will be back. Good food love it. 😍“

“Great, fresh assortment of taps. Something for everyone. Excellent grilled cheese.“

“We were greeted and seated right away. Each of us got a different dish and no one was disappointed. We loved the duck appetizer and I flipped for the lemongrass chicken with jalapenos. So delicious! Can't wait to get back to this CDM gem.“

“I sometimes stop by this bar after work — either to grab a drink or have dinner after picking up groceries. Great atmosphere, wide selection of drinks, and it’s very convenient being right inside the same building. Always a nice spot to relax for a bit.“

“Massive noise in the bar area dining room make conversation a bit loud. Food is excellent. Servers gracious. Matre d and front checkin shockingly not welcoming and the snob vibe doesn't sit well from this Michelin diner whose used to common courtesy. Steaks and seafood great. Desserts very good Views hit and miss unless you're very specific in advance in writing. Overall very good with some management flaws as fine dining hosts.“

“I drive 2 hours on Saturday just to come to this amazing restaurant. The atmosphere is so elegant, the staff is wonderful and the food is exquisite . I can guarantee that the nasty comments are from commies. Please visit this amazing restaurant and decide for yourself.“
