50 Best Wine Bars near Irvine

“Food here is on another level. One of the few Thai places I've ever eaten at using the freshest herbs and seasonings along with high quality proteins and other ingredients. Really elevated food that is consistently delicious. Get the drunken noodles for sure.“

“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!“

“My wife and I celebrated our 15 year anniversary at Ruth Chris Steakhouse. The service was great, the food was outstanding and they even personalized our menu for our celebration. I'm not joking when I say that that ribeye steak I had was the best steak I've ever had in my entire life at a restaurant... thank you Ruth Chris Steakhouse!“

“Their wine dinners are incredible!“

“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!“

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

“Fantastic service, great collection of wines and excellent food.

We tried many reds - hardly a dud among them; and I admit I can be fussy.

Great choice of music and the right volume so you could carry on conversations easily.“

“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.“

“Awesome staff and wine !!!!!❤️❤️❤️“

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

“stopped here 2 days ago at my arrival to john wayne and again when leaving today. Having a wine place at the airport is amazing, coming from someone who lives in wine country. also great vegetarian options. cannot wait to come back to OC to fly into john wayne and stop here. Staff is very friendly..big shout out to them. hard workers.

Vegetarian options: lots of options for vegetarians!“

“I only sat here to enjoy food and drink I got elsewhere“

“Great hidden spot - delicious small plates and fabulous drinks. Debra the bartender is the best! Perfect spot for a break from the crowds!!“

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

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

“This place was surprisingly cool. They don't have a TON of options, which I found strange for a wine-forward place, but the options we got we enjoyed. Unfortunately, there was only one person working there who I guess is in charge of also making food (which I don't totally understand?) so service took forever. As a result, we were charged happy hour prices, which was nice.

We went here waiting for a table next door for pizza, so for that reason it's definitely worth checking out. They had a movie playing on one of the walls, which was cool. And the vibe itself is cool, the inside has a lot going on and a lot to look at. We sat outside, which wasn't the best as it's right next to a parking lot but certainly still a nice option for outdoor seating.

If you're coming to this shopping center to have dinner, I do think it's worth stopping in.“

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

“This place is awesome, one of the only wine bars I’ve seen in SoCal that has an emphasis on natural wines and skin-contact wines. Our server was amazing, she had a ton of recommendations and was super friendly! The tinned fish plate was also bomb they have great sardines“

“Fine dining, excellent service, amazing food“

“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!“

“Delicious food and great service. So many entrees and combinations of a la carte so you can order anything on the menu to fit your palate and degree of hunger. Service is excellent and servers are so friendly and helpful! Great place to eat before a Segerstrom play or symphony!“

“Great service, amazing atmosphere and delicious food.“

“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 ❤️“

“Exelent servís the food is exelent“

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

“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!“

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

“The food & service were great“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“This is the best place to get a prime rib always fresh and this restaurant is open every day �“

“Good stuff good stuff goo“

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

“Wow. What a cool spot. This place has some hard to find beers and wines and some really good looking bites to eat. I was impressed with their coffee bar and their service. Sara helped me to find an obscure white wine for a gift and showed me some of their draft beers. They have a great Russian River selection! I set up shop here and worked for a bit on their free WiFi. This might be my new office away from the office.

This place is rad. I’ll be back for sure.“

“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.“

“The steaks weren't cooked to what we had asked (Medium rare) In any other Restaurants we have been they would of cooked a new ribeye steak but at this place it was just put back on the grill, which is kinda disappointing as everyone else was done with dinner by the time the steak came back.“

“Absolutely Awesome!! This location has a great atmosphere and the employees are very attentive and friendly. The food came out fast, hot and fresh!! AND they are open 7 days per week !!! EVERYDAY!!“

“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 had a delightful time celebrating my husband's birthday with our granddaughter and her boyfriend. Our waiter was excellent. Food was delicious. We even met the owner of the restaurant on our way out, who seemed charming. Hadn't been to the restaurant in 15 years, we definitely will go back soon!“

“Amazing Valentine’s weekend dinner! Six courses made for a most Indulgent Aphrodisiac’s menu created by Chef Tony. The plating was exquisite, service very attentive, and relatively low-carb, very copicetic with my diabetic precautions. The French Chardonnay we had enjoyed was lovely, paired well particularly with the scallop crudo, oyster and lobster dishes. It was also a pleasure to meet and chat with Yassmin, the co-owner and wife of Chef Tony. We are planning to dine here again, next time for The restaurant’s High Tea, which is offered on Sunday afternoons.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“The place is pretty spacious with a nice, slightly fancy, and clean vibe. Lots of staff and good service. Prices aren’t too bad either. I can’t remember the name of this roll, but it was super tasty! If you come here, don’t miss it. It’s seriously good!“

“Great food and prices. Especially the alcohol prices. your bill isn't half alcohol cost.“

“By far the BEST Burger & Fries I have had in years. Service was super friendly and accommodating to substitutions and questions. Never felt rushed, food was hot and delicious. Had out of town guests and without planning to ended up here for lunch. What a nice surprise this place was. Will be back soon!“
