Mouthwatering Bars in Irvine

Teleferic Barcelona

★★★★☆ 4.3 (351)

"The Family and I had lunch yesterday at Telefèric Barcelona. We arrived around 12;30 without a reservation. The restaurant was buzzing but I wasn't surprised. The weather was beautiful after three days of rain and people were out and about.We have been to tapas restaurants before and it is one of our favorite kinds of food and dining experiences. The concept of sharing a dish or small bites isn't foreign to us. Although, I have to say that Telefèric Barcelona is probably the closest the Family and I will get to Barcelona for now. The footprint of the restaurant is pretty small and beautifully decorated. It is a comfortable unpretentious environment. The menu is just as comforting and unpretentious. It was hard to choose what to eat. So many things on the menu had my imagination soaring. While we were trying to decide on what to order, our server, Biel arrived. He asked if we had been to Telefèric Barcelona. For the Mrs. it was the second time. The Mrs. and I started off with two Margaritas. They were really good and the bartender made them from scratch. No mix! We then moved on to the food. Starting with Crab Croquetas which were topped with tuna sashimi and spicy aioli. Next were the Empanadas stuffed with roasted chicken and served with spicy aioli. The presentation was innovative and the flavor and texture were incredible. I would describe the Empanadas as more of a fried ravioli in their appearance. We then moved on to a Paella Bomb which Paella arancino(rice) filled with shrimp bisque that you inject into the dish yourself. Being able to inject the bisque was a fun way to engage with the dish. The Mrs. and I shared the Prime Wellington from the Platos menu. Telefèric Barcelona's take on Beef Wellington keeps the tradition of the dish but with better flavors in my view. Braised short ribs wrapped Ibérico ham and encased in a flaky puff pastry roll, served with Spanish-style potatoes. The Wellington was delivered and injected by the food runner with a large metal syringe that held the beef demi glacé. We loved it! I have to say that you CANNOT dine at Telefèric Barcelona without having the Wellington. My daughter ordered the Gambellini which were the most delicate ravioli I've ever tasted. They were stuffed with shrimp and bacon. The sauce that accompanied the ravioli was so light and rich. For dessert we shared the Trío selection of Telefèric's most popular desserts: churros, torrija and "Flan & Coffee". Ice cream was included to add to the richness of each dessert. The "Flan & Coffee" were my favorite. The pace of our meal was perfect. We didn't feel rushed at all which I know is a concept in the Spanish dining experience that many Americans don't embrace in their gastronomical lives. It was also great to hear Castilian Spanish being spoken. The service we received from Biel and the rest of the staff we interacted with was great. I look forward to returning to Telefèric Barcelona."

El Torito

"We had the absolute best experience at El Torito for Sunday brunch, all thanks to Ernesto! From the moment we were seated, he made sure our party of 8 celebrating a birthday felt completely taken care of.Ernesto was attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient--he never missed a beat, keeping our drinks full, ensuring we had everything we needed, and doing it all with such a warm and welcoming attitude. He made the birthday celebration even more special with his genuine hospitality and top-notch service.If you're dining at El Torito, ask for Ernesto--he truly goes above and beyond!

"Palapa Restaurant, is located at 2nd & PCH Center, on the second floor. Palapa is an extention of their sister restaurant Ola Mexican Kitchen.Palapa, has an island-themed Tiki bar it has a wrapped around bar with sitting ares. The outdoor dining has an amazing views of the Los Alamitos Marina, the boats and the ocean are just perfect. We came here to celebrate my birthday. They have complimentary tortillas chips. The tortilla chips are seasoned - springle with Tejin lemon flavored and salt. We selected dine at Palapa because of their outdoor dining because we brough our dog and we can only dine outside.The ambience is casual- contemporary with large beautiful outdoor lamps and an area with outdoor fire pit.We ordered the red beet & watermelon salad, fresh guacamole for the tortilla chips, 2 tacos. My daughter ordeted their chicken soup it comes with 2 rolled taquitos, hold down I had a strawberry -Jalapeno Margarita so refreshing so delicious and (Expensive)Keep in mind when ordering any meals it all coming from Ola Restaurant because Jalapa does not have their own kitchen. It may take longer to get the order Ps please don't blame the server. Service was on point he was attentive and friendly.

Domenicos on the Lake

★★★★☆ 4.2 (479) • $$

"Had a great first experience here! The staff was so welcoming and nice. Nikki was our server, and she was amazing! The food was delicious. I had the pasta with sausage and tomato cream sauce. They gave a lot of sausage! They give focaccia bread with your meal with a side of creamy balsamic. Amazing!I look forward to coming back and trying other dishes :)"

Parkers' Lighthouse

★★★★☆ 3.7 • $$$

"We went here for my moms birthday! It was simple tomake a reservation online and you can put any special requests or messages and I put we were celebrating a birthday and everyone greeted my mom when we got there which was great. Our server was also super helpful with suggestions of the menu. They give complimentary sourdough bread w butter which was delicious. We started off with calamari which was crispy and yummy. I got the salmon which was paired with gnocchi and corn SO GOOD! The salmon piece itself was big enough where I could take it for leftovers. We didn't ask but they ended up giving us a little cake w ice cream and a candle for my mom's birthday which was super sweet."

Palmilla Cocina y Tequila

★★★★☆ 4.4 (735) • $$$

"Food overall was okay. Filet Mignon tasted better than Asada. The Shredded Beef taquitos appetizer is very good. Guacamole not impressed. Ceviche way over priced $25 for 3 very small portions. Tacos were okay, tortillas were way too greasy. Transferred to flour tortillas. The green salsa is very good and tasty!Ambiance for Sat night after 5pm was great. Super busy for small place and great music and choice of music. The bar was full and no empty space.Service was decent. Did not clear plates enough especially for very small tables. Reservation for sisters bday of 8 people and they awkwardly place one square and one round table together. Not convenient, or logical."

Selma's Chicago Pizzeria & Tap Room

★★★★☆ 3.7 (797) • $$

"Great pizza and beer! Highly recommended. Service is always excellent and food is cooked to perfection! This place is close to my work so I eat here a lot! Love it!"

Bourbon Street Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (537) • $$

"I strolled into Bourbon St. on Sunday. A few gents were watching a playoff game on TV. Jacob, the bartender, kept the bar clean, took orders promptly, and engaged occasionally in congenial conversation with what appeared to be the regulars for a Sunday afternoon.Jacob took my order shortly after I sat down. His demeanor and self presentation were well suited for this bar & the line of work. I don't drink much, so I simply asked for a pineapple juice. Jacob poured the glass, served the glass, and took my money more expediently than most bartenders--even during a slower time of night. The juice kept me loose too.5 stars. A solid & sufficiently staffed bar."

Brussels Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (940) • $$$

"I highly recommend this place, we were able to get a reservation for five people the week before our friend's birthday. Food comes out very fresh and pretty quick, but that did not diminish the quality of the food! I highly recommend starting with the escargot and the baked brie, they were absolutely fantastic and came with a wonderful crispy baguette. As for the food, we decided to share multiple plates of food. We had the boef bourginion (great flavor and we added the pasta on the side), the cream and garlic mussels (incredibly succulent and oh so worth it), the marinier mussels (not as good as the cream, but still good!), the mac and cheese (an absolute MUST try, it was so good), and the fries with all of their sauces. I also highly recommend their drinks (all of them) as they are incredibly well balanced and paired well with all of our food! This place is a must for birthdays, they celebrate you and make you feel incredibly special. I would come back in a heartbeat!"

Back Alley Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (267) • $$

"The Alley has had some popular indie bands playing their scene, to be sure. A nice venue. Wahoo!"

StillWater Spirits & Sounds

★★★★☆ 4.1 (936) • $$

"Was staying in the area and decided to have lunch here after reading some glowing reviews on Yelp. We were lucky to get parking in the tiny parking lot right in front, were immediately greeted and seated.We shared the blistered shishito peppers appetizer, which was served piping hot on a cute little iron skillet. My husband had the tri tip sandwich and I chose the spicy seafood pasta. Although my dish was not spicy to me, it was flavorful and delicious; with huge pieces of fish, shrimp, calamari and mussels. Portions are large and pricing is reasonable for the area. Service was great as well. Overall had a nice experience!"

The Wayfarer

★★★★☆ 3.9 (299) • $$

"I don't visit the The Wayfarer often, but when I do I always have a good time.The food is worth a visit in its own right. The pulled pork sliders, for instance, are a thing of beauty. I've never had better pulled pork anywhere and heaven knows I've eaten my share of it over the years. The service is friendly and on the ball every time. Ambience wise, it's a roomy, comfortable place with lots of places to sit. I like to sit at the bar, but that's personal preference. Booze wise its full bar with a nice selection of craft beers. The place attracts some really good bands, including some that tour nationally. Last night, we saw Jerry Joseph. He was great. The Wayfarer is a good place worthy of your attention.Cheers!"

Landers Liquor Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (313) • $$

"Came here on a Friday night with some friends for dinner and drinks. I was shocked that at 8:30pm this place was so mellow because it's actually a really yummy and cute spot! It was tiki weekend which was really neat because they had all of these delicious tiki themed drinks! I ended up ordering the Mac n cheese because I had been recommended it before and tried one of the tiki themed drinks. Our server was so sweet she was dressed for the tiki theme too with seashells in her hair and necklace! She was on top of checking in on us and making sure we all were full on drinks and food. 10/10 will be back. This would be a really cute date spot too!!"

Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"I love Cha Cha's! We come here every so often and I pretty much always get the same thing - short ribs. They are so tender and flavorful. They have a bit of a kick to them. It's a good portion size too. Highly recommend.Another dish I really like is the three seafood enchiladas. I think it comes with crab, shrimp and one other thing (can't remember off the top of my head!). It's so good that I tried to recreate it at home but couldn't live up to Cha Cha's version.They have nice cocktails here too and a variety of seating options. There's indoor, patio and bar seating and they have heat lamps for when it's cold. It's a great mid- to nice-level Mexican/Latin restaurant and it's one of our regular rotations!"

The Benediction by Toast

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"It's all about the Benedicts here at The Benediction by Toast, as evidenced by its name. Although some reviews warn about a long wait, I suppose my party and I were lucky to arrive around the tail end of rush hour and were seated right away. There's a spacious outdoor patio with more seating options but the excruciatingly hot weather kept us indoors. My friend and I shared the Mushroom Broccoli Benedict with a side of Hash Brown Chips and the Maple Bacon Pancake. The Benedict was tasty with perfectly poached eggs although there could've been more mushrooms in the dish. However, it was the hash brown chips that were the real star of the show. Thank goodness it came with a generous portion because I found myself shoveling them into my mouth without much thought throughout our meal. Unfortunately, the Maple Bacon Pancake was overly doughy towards the center with a gummy texture in the middle which I suspect was a result of its gargantuan size. I would skip this for a different pancake/waffle if you're craving something sweet. The Lavender Latte was my favorite part of the dining experience. Although it was 100 degrees that day, it didn't stop me from enjoying a freshly made hot latte with its nicely balanced floral flavor from the lavender."

Bluegold

★★★★☆ 3.7 • $$$

"Food was okay to me! It was my first time trying it and I got the pasta which I feel like could have had more flavor. I've never had Brussels sprouts but these were good! The bread was also yummy, it isn't complimentary unfortunately so if you want to purchase it go ahead! Overall I'd give a 7.5/10 I've had better pasta and better bread. But it's all preferences I'm sure many people love this place!"

Wang Cho Korean BBQ

★★★★☆ 4 • $$$

"Review:This Korean BBQ spot is amazing! The meat is incredibly fresh, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The selection is fantastic, with plenty of options to satisfy everyone at the table. The grilling experience is fun and interactive, making it a great place to enjoy with friends or family. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring you always have what you need. If you're looking for delicious food and a memorable dining experience, this is the place to go!"

Next Round Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (60) • $$

"Hands down the best place I have been in a while. Wouldn't miss it even on a Thursday!"

Bear Flag Fish

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$

"We went to visit our friends and they took us here for lunch & wow, not only was I blown away by the view but the food was soo good!! I got the guac & chips (10/10), the clam chowder (9/10) & the salmon poke (10/10) & I was just a very happy camper. That special Tommy's sauce though, I'm gonna think about that for a while. It reminded me so much of the sauce that they put on Asian honey walnut shrimps for some reason! I almost drank the whole little container! We sat outside, the weather was perfect, food was great & was with amazing company."

Carolina's Italian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 • $$

"Went to Carolina's on a Friday night (9pm) after getting their menu in the mail. From the outside it looked very unassuming but the inside is very warm and inviting! When we arrived there weren't too many folks but people steadily came in throughout our meal. Between two people we got: Carolina's Sampler (mozzarella sticks, wings, fried zucchini and calamari): everything was perfectly crispy and fried. Great app to start!-Cheese Tortellini: LOVED IT and big fan of the mushroom sauce -Pepperoni calzone: very cheese, bf loved it. It's very big so come hungry or ready to share!-Orange Italian cream soda: amazing. Going to have to try all the flavors now!Let me tell you, the portions were HUGE. We had enough leftovers for at least two additional meals. Great place to come if you're hungry or feeding a big group! The entire staff were attentive and friendly. They have late night hours on the weekend so were definitely adding this to our restaurant rotation :)"

Old Camp Bar and Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (143) • $$

"This restaurant is located inside the Ayres Hotel and actually has a separate exterior entrance if you aren't staying at the hotel. I live nearby and finally had a chance to stop in for dinner while my wife was having a night out with friends.It's small and clean with what I call a "hotel restaurant" look. It's an open room with bar on one end, a tv on the wall on the opposite end, and a few tables in-between. The hotel hallway is off to the side. Many reviews single out the excellent service provided by Makayla and yeah, she's spectacular.I ordered a pastrami sandwich with a side salad. I really wanted fries but my wife's voice was in my head saying "you really should get the side salad" so I did. I also got a glass of Two Vines Cabernet which was pretty good.A staff person brought out my plate and I was surprised to see fries instead of salad. Obviously this was a sign from God that this night away from my wife I deserved the fries. The potatoes were cut lengthwise, like jojos, only thinner. They were crunchy outside and soft inside and accompanied by a very delicious ketchup (made in-house) that had a flavor I detected as maybe...apple (?). Anyway, I loved these fries and refused the offer of a salad once Makayla saw the mixup.The pastrami sandwich was not so great even though the flavors were fantastic. The grilled rye, mustard, house-made pickles, and swiss cheese that accompanied the pastrami made it quite tasty. The pastrami, however, was the toughest I've had in my life. Like shoe leather. After picking the sandwich up and, after several attempts, failed to bite through the pastrami I resorted to knife and fork which, at times, was still a bit of a struggle. Chewing was a challenge as you can imagine. So unfortunate because otherwise this would have been a perfect sandwich and likely a five star review.Compared to other reviews this experience seems like an anomaly so I will return at some point and try another menu item. With fries."

Chapter One: the modern local

★★★★☆ 3.7 • $$

"The food was so amazing! We haven't been here in a while because the quality of the food was not great. They've made some amazing improvements! We went for a brunch and both had the steak and potatoes. The hollandaise sauce was amazing, and it wasn't overwhelming. Next time I'll ask for an additional side of the hollandaise. The potatoes were beautifully seasoned with lots of spices. I cleaned my plate, it was so good!! We'll be coming back more often. Our waiter was so busy but regardless, attentive. Enjoyed that lots of natural light came in from the windows.Again the food was so good! We bought the back a round of beers."

Bayside Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (917) • $$$

"First visit, and we were with a group of 15. Wonderful ambiance, and very nice views of the bay, boats, and waterfront homes from inside, as well as the covered patio. They offer free valet parking (tips appreciated). We were there to take advantage of their Brunch menu.SERVICE: Larry waited on us, and the service was excellent, including all of the staff who assisted him. He was kind enough to provide separate checks for our group, and they didn't add a mandatory tip, as many restaurants do with larger parties. I suggest asking about this upfront, so there's no miscommunications.DRINKS: The brunch menu offers two options for bottomless mimosas: the Wycliff Sparkling Brut ($15), and the Le Chemin du Roi Brut ($30), along with orange, cranberry, and grapefruit juice mixers. The sparkling wines were tasty, as our party ordered both, and I was able to sample each. I, on the other hand, had a The Spicy Southern Bloody Mary ($16), which was loaded with bacon, olives, and a giant celery stalk. I also tried the Olé Fashioned with mezcal ($17). I thought that both cocktails were well made.FOOD: For a group of our size, all of the orders came out quick, hot, and the portions were plenty. My wife and I thought that the food was okay. Nothing was terrible, but nothing "wowed" us either. Could have used a little more seasoning all the way around. We tried the Bayside Continental ($24), which included a stack of three, very fluffy pancakes, two eggs, bacon, and breakfast potatoes. The Bayside Benedicts have an option of smoked ham ($26), crab $29), or sautéed spinach ($24). The crab was in need of a little more seasoning. Finally, I had the Meat Lovers Omelette ($25), with bacon, Italian sausage, onion, mushroom, gruyere cheese, and a side of breakfast potatoes. A little salt and pepper, and this was good to go. I heard that the Chicken Barley Soup ($13) was very good, and the Lobster Salad Sandwich ($34) served open face, was okay.Overall, a nice brunch experience, and great service. I would definitely come back and give Bayside another try, maybe for dinner next time."

Bosscat Kitchen & Libations

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"This place was a better listener than I was a communicater, waiter set drinks down as requested, but I misspoke when I said we will have two more when she's done... just not two more of these. He was great, but one of those boozy cocktails was enough. Edit: we drank the other two cocktails and they were fabulous, you can see from the picture served Neat and Strong.Food here is awesome, we ubered to the circle specifically to have drinks and eat at Bosscat, did not disappoint!"

El Cortez Mexican Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (509) • $$

"I just want to cry writing this review. Molly is the owner of this delicious restaurant. She's so welcoming. She remembered me from a couple years ago.I was on the Worst Cooks in America Season 12, not only was the food delicious it's the atmosphere.I have never had anything that taste not good. I had fresh fried fish wow I mean the portion is big for 2-3 people loaded with fresh salad, avocado slices, tomato slices & fried potatoes omg I had the butter sauce put aside. There was sour cream and salsa served with both corn tortillas and flour tortillas. I have a lot of left over.Why did I cry, my husband passed in 2013 I always eat alone . No one to talk to, New Year is coming up. I felt comforted.Betsy my darling waitress was so good to me. My virgin pinacolada was blended perfectly for my taste.Molly, you have the best employees all so polite and very welcoming.I will come back again just to wish everyone a very happy New Year. 2025 is going to be better much much better"

Pancho's Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (455) • $$

"First thing I will say is the staff here was on their game, super helpful and attentive. They were nice enough to recommend a few dishes for my toddlers and we now know my 2 year old love chili verde. We got seated right away. While were there it was constant stream of people picking up to go orders as well. Seemed like a good amount of locals in the restaurant. And one of the things you don't find as much in locations as they dropped off two bowls of tortilla chips, and two salsas for a family of four at no charge. The chips were over cooked which is kind of a theme for the tortillas in our visit. However, I really did enjoy their salsa.I thought the beef tacos were solid. The meat was delicious but I will say the shell was way over cooked. The chili Verde I had was excellent. To me the beans were OK but I really like the rice.My wife wasn't a fan of really anything she had the beans and rice, chicken taco, which her shell was also overcooked. My girls worked on their meal they loved it. They had some pork tacos and a cheese quesadilla. And they really loved the beans. Overall, I'm gonna give it a four for the service and some of the food. They were definitely some things over cooked but overall some strong meals and good flavor. I've seen some of the reviews to talk about a bar it does seem like there's a second entrance to the location. So you've got sort of a dining area and then a bar area on the other side of the wall. Decor is a little dated, but hey, you're here for a good meal."

Yard House

★★★★☆ 3.6 • $$

"After work hours on a Friday, this place gets packed. We waited about 40 minutes for a table of 8. Inside is also really loud, so it's a bit hard to hear people talk. I ordered the Baja Fish taco (default comes in 2, but you can order 3) and it comes with beans and rice. The beans and rice were small portions but were good. The Baja Fish tacos were delicious and the toppings were avocado, cabbage, sriracha aïoli, salsa roja, and cilantro. The fish was battered fried fish and was soft. Overall, the food was good, but only too loud inside. Recommendation(s):- Baja Fish TacosService: 5/5Tip(s):- Loud inside- Restrooms available- Waited about 40 minutes for a table"

Venice Room

★★★★☆ 4 (523) • $$

"Came here for their famous lunch special, cook yourself steak and the experience didn't disappoint. We were quickly welcomed and taken to the dining area which was brighter than the bar area which we came in through. Our group opted for the rib eye dinner cut instead of the New York lunch option, we quickly received our salad bowl and drinks. The salad bar is simple with various dressing options. The steak, bread, and baked potato arrived and it was time to grill. They have a section to marinate your steak and the grill is on for whenever you are ready. The waiter was around for questions. We did our best and to our surprise we did ok, no complaints for the chef. Definitely an experience to try."

"Very friendly and fast service! Amazing view of the harbor while you dine. Delicious fish and chips cooked just right. Love the tartar sauce!"

VUE Bar + Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (182) • $$

"We had family visiting and were staying at the Long Beach Holiday Inn, so we decided to dine at the restaurant on the top floor, which offers great city views. It was definitely crowded on a Wednesday evening, but we were seated promptly. Our group of 20 appreciated the separate checks, and it's worth noting that the restaurant is cashless, accepting only credit cards.The bar area had TVs, which was a nice touch for those interested in catching up on sports or news. I ordered the burger wrapped in lettuce with onion rings, and both were good--the onion rings were nice and crispy. My cousin had the Sarasota Shrimp Scampi, while other family members enjoyed dishes like Spaghetti Primavera, Linguine Alla Scampi, Chicken Parmigiana, and Chicken Piccata. Everyone enjoyed their meals.Service was good, and the combination of city views (forgot to take a picture) and delicious food made for a pleasant experience. I will definitely return."

The Quiet Woman

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (523) • $$$

"Came here for a girls night out. We went there in hopes to run into some housewives but no luck. Our waitress, Tiffany, was great too. She took our drink orders quickly and even recommended some drinks to the girls in our party. She even took our orders after we got enjoy our drinks. They do not disappoint with their alcoholic beverages. I ordered a Paloma and most places water the drink down...not this place. I had to ask for extra juice to mask all the tequila in the drink. But it was yummy!Our group ended up ordering the QW salad which is like your very own salad bar. They basically give you a bowl with your greens and the dressing to your choice/liking and put all the toppings (broccoli, bacon, mushrooms, carrots, bean sprouts, croutons, and chickpeas) on a Lazy Susan. All the topping were very fresh and the croutons were seasoned really well. They were not too hard, just right. For my entree, I ordered the Short Rib Pappardelle. First off, the short rib was so tender and flavorful. The pasta (pappardelle) was cooked perfectly, not soggy and more on the al dente side. The carrots were on the harder side and I wasn't much of a fan but the food was still great. If you are looking for a cool night out with friends or a date night, I definitely recommend this place. They do have a band who plays during weekends but make sure to get there early because it does get packed."
