“We made reservations for Dublin4 and it seemed pretty wild so they walked next door and sat up at the high top at Wineworks. Such a better atmosphere. Both restaurants share the same kitchen and restrooms. And there’s a lot of similarities between the menus but this has the better options.I always complain that OC doesn’t have great food but this place knows the game. And the wine menu is excellent. I even had a Pinot Noir from Baden, Germany. All dishes were excellent and the service was even better. Only complaint is the parking is terrible so good luck, maybe the lot is bigger in the back.“

“I love this place! I am on an anti-inflammatory diet and this is one of the few places I can eat. Double bonus - they serve grass fed beef, which is the only beef I can have. Their burgers are one of the best I have ever had. My personal favorite is the California Burger. It is amazing!

Dietary restrictions: They have grass fed beef, which is perfect for anti-inflammatory diet.“

“We came down to the Irvine area for a baseball tournament. I reached out to a few restaurants to see who could accommodate a group of our size. Maulik was the first to respond and everything sounded great: order at the counter so you don’t have to split bills, reserved seating, games/arcade area for the kids. The food was fantastic, service was great, would 10/10 recommend.“

“What’s not to love! The country club vibe without the club. The views are what makes OC great, you would think you’re out in the hills of NorCal or Central Cal but you’re a 10 min drive from the sunny sands of the beach.

The food is typical of golf pubs, burgers, hot dogs, fries, beers…everything you would expect. The chicken and waffles was rather small and the chicken was a bit over cooked. The burger and fried chicken sandwich were excellent choices. If you’re trying to close a date, O’Neill’s will def make it easy.“

Great service and good food as always for Islands Restaurants.“

Juan came back with my drinks and took my breakfast order. Shortly thereafter my food arrived. The Denver omelet with roasted red potatoes was excellent and Juan stoppped by a few times to check on my dining experience as well as top off my coffee. A very nice breakfast dining experience and Juan provided excellent customer service.

“I love the taste of canes. However, sometimes they are rude and they almost always mess up a part of our order. One time they added salt when we said no salt on the fries, another time they burnt our fries, and another time they gave us the wrong drink. I still come back because I love the food, but I wish they paid more attention“

“I love me a good burger and boy did this place deliver! My gosh the burger was on point! The patty was full of flavour and a little crispy. The buns were spongey and soaking with saucy goodness. Even the veggies stood out which is p rare for a fast food burger join ngl. Also being located in the mall it’s great for a quick meal or way to full up if your group is on a shopping binge and ya need a break. Highly recommend this spot! Also staff is polite and helpful. Def prefer this over other fast food or fast casual options.“
