“We tried the Chicken Marsala, Lobster Ravioli and Gnocchi in VodkaSauce along with the Piccolino dinner salad and Tiramisu. All was magnifico! 😘“

“Just ate here today for the first time and the pizza was amazing!! I ordered the bbq chicken and my friend got pepperoni. The crust was insanely delicious and crispy! Cheese to toppings ratio was on point! The mozzarella cheese sticks were also very good! And to top it all off, the customer service was 💯!! Highly recommend!!“

“Rolled in before I caught train back home, after a day at The Mission. Enjoyed a few items off the Happy Hour Menu. $34 before tax for the Pear & Brie Skillet melt, seasoned olives, and a slice of Key Lime pie. I would pass on the skillet melt next time, did absolutely love the toasted focaccia it came with. Next time I would try the Spinach Artichoke Dip. I sat solo at the bar, several average size groups were at the other end of the bar area.“

“Today, I made a reservation and went to Cozy Pine, a speakeasy hidden inside Bacchus Bar and Bistro in Irvine.
The front looked like any ordinary bar, but when you gently push open the bookshelf in the back, a cozy cabin-like space reveals itself. You’d never imagine a place like this existed from the outside.

​The interior truly made me feel like I was visiting a mountain cabin—complete with pinecones, cotton-made clouds, and wooden tables and chairs. Up on the ceiling, there were even birds and wolves wearing hats.

​For drinks, I ordered a cocktail called Camp Anawanna. They torched a marshmallow right on top of the cup, infusing the drink with a wonderful smoky aroma.
Even though I only had one glass, I already felt a bit tipsy.
For food, we had the Fish & Chips, Hanger Steak Skewers, and Tacos. Every single dish was delicious.
The French fries, in particular, were perfectly seasoned and incredibly tasty. The Shrimp and Carnitas tacos were excellent as well.

​Sitting in such a unique, cozy atmosphere and enjoying drinks and food in comfort put me in a great mood.
It felt as though I was the only one whisked away to a completely different world.“

“Excellent food and service. Great wines and selection of beers and cocktails. Pleasant outdoor seating available. They do have parking but a little difficult to find on this very busy street. Highly recommend the meatballs. Ask if the off-menu items listed on the website are available. The peaches and pears salad as well as the pork loin were both delicious. We hope to return.“

“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 ❤️“

“Love this place for a great glass or bottle of wine, and good conversations. Great before dinner reservation place for wine and charcuterie board or after for wine and chocolate. And if it’s a good night, both lol 😂“

“Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“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!“

“The Pizza Crust here is superb! Thicky, chewy, and crusty on the outside. Service was also great. Very attentive and were accommodating for both our 3 month old and two small dogs.“

“Love Neapolitan! Great service. Terrific selection. Our pizza was so tasty - crust and light sauce Yum! The Caprese Buratta was fresh and creamy. Fabulous, decadent dessert options. Very nice wine and beer list. Will return. Definitely recommend.“

“Exceptional Wine and a Fantastic Experience
McClain Cellars truly delivers on both quality and experience. The wines are outstanding—rich, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, making it easy to sit back and enjoy every pour. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, taking the time to explain each wine without being overwhelming. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just looking for a great place to unwind, McClain Cellars is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Wow! Super yum to say the least. It’s always great when the new local restaurant hits it out of the park! My wife & I started with the bacon & meatballs appetizer. She then had the fried green tomatoes & French onion soup while I had the ribeye. Delicious!“

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

“Every time I come, the staff are so friendly and helpful. I truly love & appreciate that they don’t act bugged to help you (like most cafes 😂). Also the food is delish. I’m gluten intolerant so I tried the bread cautiously…but realized none of it bothered me! 🙏“

“I go to this place at least once or twice a week for the breakfast burrito, but I had never left a review until today. I decided to make one today because the burrito was excellent today. I love this place due to the friendly atmosphere the staff provides and the quality of the food and beverages.“

“Amazing stay, gorgeous views and incredible hospitality! Loved it all and highly recommend!“

“Phenomenal experience every time! If you are not a member of the Rancho Capistrano wine club you are missing out!!!!“

“I’ve been coming here for years and always like everything. They have a very clean kitchen and warm, friendly staff. Something that absolutely blew my mom and I away recently was the artichoke dip. Yum!! It is so fresh and delish!!“

“My best friend and I had lunch there today. The food was excellent, my dirty martini was perfect (and much needed!), and our server, Jacob, was fabulous. We made a pact that we will meet there at least once a month. Thank you for a great afternoon! 🍸“

The selections are top notch and the food options are varied enough that you could try something new before hitting a repeat. Such a great spot to chill after work, can't wait for another visit!

Parking: No problems with parking, there is plenty.“

“Nice atmosphere, kind staffs and excellent foods. Steak is recommended especially chimichurri sauce was really good. Salmon with miso was also good. Menu is attached because it is hard to find the menu from their homepage.

In addition, for dining people, parking can be validated through their own parking lot.“

“Their wine dinners are incredible!“

“Their happy hour is fantastic. They serve an amazing osso bucco, unfortunately it's rarely on the menu, but if you give them your email address, they will let you know when it's on the menu. They have a $20 corkage fee.“

“Amazing Thai food and excellent service! We ordered the Tom Yum Chicken, Thai-style Mushroom Fried Rice, and Mango Sticky Rice, and everything was absolutely delicious. The Tom Yum was flavorful with the perfect balance of spicy and sour, the fried rice was fragrant and well-seasoned, and the mango sticky rice was fresh, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be back.“
