“Great restaurant with a small, family feel. The food is amazing, and honestly at a steal of a price; the food is half as expensive and more than twice as delicious as other restaurants I've been to. I had the quatrro formaggio because I noticed gorgonzola on the ingredients list, and I loved every single bite! It was so nice to have a dish that put the gorgonzola flavor front-and-center, and the cream sauce was somehow light while still being packed full of flavor. My wife had the lasagna, and it's easy to see why it's a favorite here. It cem out with the sauce still bubbling, and once she could dig in she described it as lightly sweet, a welcome change from some overly-acidic dishes at some other places. The service was also impeccable, the staff was very friendly and welcoming and we felt very well attended-to. We came in about an hour or so before closing so there weren't many other customers, and we got our food impressively quickly. Another note, if you are staying at any of the nearby hotels (specifically the row of hotels on Lake Center Drive) then this restaurant is extremely close, easily walkable if you want. It would make a convenient, delicious, and good-valued addition to your vacation.”

“We needed something quick while we were out and wanted something that would leave us feeling good - found Urban Plates and it exceeded what we were looking for! My grass-fed steak was tender and juicy, the mac n cheese was comforting and delicious, and the side of beets paired well with the goat cheese. My husband enjoyed his crispy chicken sandwich and fries. I love the variety of food offered at Urban Plates and knowing my body is getting high quality nutrients while enjoying something delicious! They also offer a membership discount - worth it if you live nearby and frequent this place!”

“Earth Bowl is such a great find for anyone who loves fresh ingredients, superfoods, and customizable bowls! We visited the Irvine Spectrum location and tried a nice variety of their offerings, including the Pumpkin Cream Shake, a build-your-own chia pudding bowl, the Tidal Wave Bowl, and the Choconana Spice Bowl. I especially loved the freedom to customize my chia pudding with so many different superfood toppings, fruits, nuts, and other delicious additions. It’s a fun way to create something that suits your personal tastes and nutritional preferences. The Tidal Wave Bowl was wonderfully refreshing, featuring blue spirulina sorbet, ginger hemp granola, and a colorful assortment of fresh fruit. The chocolate and banana combination in the Choconana bowl was perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth, while the Pumpkin Cream Shake was a fun seasonal treat. I also appreciate Earth Bowl’s emphasis on real ingredients, scratch-made chia puddings, and thoughtfully crafted combinations. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a lighter snack or a more substantial bowl. The Irvine Spectrum location is convenient for a quick stop while shopping or exploring the area. I’m also thrilled that Earth Bowl has five locations throughout Orange County, making it easy to visit again whenever I’m in the neighborhood. Looking forward to experimenting with even more combinations!”

“Best comfort food ever! The thing I miss about living in California the most is the spaghetti grilled cheese at Burnt Crumbs. It will change your life. I would order three at a time and eat half a sandwich each day for lunch. If you guys wanna franchise in Detroit let me know lol 💯 💯 🔥 🔥”

“My family and I usually love Jizake and have been to this place multiple times over the years. However after last nights dinner not sure if we will come back. The first issue is that the server forgot to bring us 3 of our appetizers. I also noticed that my hot sake wasn't very hot and that they have trimmed down the size of their rolls. During the meal it became obvious to all of us outside that they were using a wifi speaker and whoesever phone it was hooked up to must have been moving around since the music was going in and out. Lastly while asking for the check I instructed the server to take the appetizers off our bill since we didn't receive them. He said he would and when he came back I was given a hand written bill with the break down. To his credit those appetizers were shown but not charged. I totaled up each line item and everything seemed correct as the subtotal was $170 with tax total should have been $183.17. However after taking my credit card he came back saying they totaled our bill incorrectly and apologized. Our new printed bill after charging my credit card didn't show the pricing break down for all the items but it appears that they added back in the money for the appetizers as with tax it came to $196.11 plus tip. By this point we just wanted to leave. After getting home we started not feeling so well. We don't usually have any bad reactions to sushi so maybe it was some sort of cross contamination issue. Either way I would caution everyone while eating at this establishment.”

“The food here is wonderful, but the wine service was disappointing. The server kept over-serving one person, which rushed out bottle and made the dinner feel disjointed, and felt like an intrusive push to get us to buy a second bottle of wine, rather than it being attentive service. Proper table etiquette means pacing the pours equally for all guests at the table, to keep everyone at the same rhythm. Hopefully, management can address this training gap.”

“You can tell that the owner puts a lot of love and attention to his creations. I had the strawberry croissant today and oh my God it was the greatest thing I've ever had. I usually have the avocado toast with the smoked salmon on top and it's to die for. this morning I tried the Maki out over the first time and I am obsessed. The owner told me that he spends the spices on his own. everyone who bakes, there and works there really puts a lot of heart into this. and the owner is super sweet too!”

“Chuponcito in Aliso Viejo put chicken enchiladas verdes in front of me and I had to look up, just to confirm my mom wasn’t in the kitchen. She wasn’t. Whoever is back there has her recipes and no alibi. See SOL Mexican Cocina in LA—This is how it’s done. Mom has been notified. The revolution is cancelled.”

We were able to meet the owner, Don, as well who was so sweet. He was very warm and inviting. We’ll definitely be back!”
