I plan to make this a regular stop whenever I am in OC, and would heavily consider traveling from San Diego for the service alone. Truly well done!

My "friend" picked me up curbside and hardly bothered to even fully stop her car. What a welcome. To Lazy Dog for a much needed drink... From the moment I walked in, the cool, relaxed vibe had me hooked. Just kidding, it looks like all the other sports bar restaurants. The bartenders and staff were genuinely super friendly and attentive, making my Uber driver and I feel right at home. Drinks were a highlight with super generous pours on both cocktails and beer. The medicine I desperately needed. My Lyft driver did not partake. A few shots in and I was finally ready to talk to my poor excuse of a chauffeur. The appetizers were good too. Paired well with the alcohol and helped wiped away a miserable start to the trip. Overall, Lazy Dog in Irvine delivered a great experience from start to finish. Whether you're coming for drinks, apps, or to forget a miserable flight accompanied by the world's worst driver this place is a winner. Highly recommend. I'll definitely be back when I need to survive the OC again.

My sister and I decided to check out ROL Hand Roll Bar after getting our haircuts nearby, and it…read moreended up being such a great find. We arrived right when they opened, which worked out perfectly because we were seated right away without having to wait. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. One thing I really liked about the restaurant is that all of the seating is at the bar, so you get a front row view of the sushi chefs preparing each hand roll fresh to order. It was fun watching everything come together and seeing the attention to detail that goes into each roll. The atmosphere was one of my favorite parts of the experience. The vibe was chill, relaxed, and fun, making it a great place to hang out and enjoy a meal. Watching the chefs work while chatting with my sister made the dining experience feel interactive and entertaining without being overly busy or loud. To start, we ordered the warm miso soup, cucumber salad, and crispy rice tartare. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and a great way to begin the meal. My sister ordered the 6-piece hand roll set, while I went with the Toro Truffle Premium Hand Roll, Unagi Hand Roll, and Salmon Hand Roll. Every single hand roll was delicious. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, the seaweed was perfectly crisp, and the flavors were well balanced. The Toro Truffle was definitely a standout and worth ordering if you're a truffle fan. What surprised us the most was the value. Considering the quality and freshness of the food, we expected the bill to be much higher. The pricing was actually very reasonable. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area.

Thanks Timmy for writing a review about this spot! I had the plate of fried chicken after the doctors lol as a treat to myself. Haha, probably not the best choice but at the time I just really wanted it. The pieces were large and the mashed potatoes had a nice light gravy on top. The coleslaw was also good. Next time if I have time I would like to sit down and enjoy it. The interior looks modern and comforting.

Mary, the manager, was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind, making us feel welcomed from start to finish. Dakota was fantastic as well and added to an already outstanding experience. We also had the pleasure of meeting owner John, whose warmth and hospitality were evident. He has truly created something special here. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed, breezy, and effortlessly trendy without trying too hard. The brunch menu is thoughtfully curated, reasonably priced, and refreshing in a time when brunch can easily become overpriced. Not a single item was over $20. And let's talk about the pancakes. We ordered them both days because they were that good. Light, fluffy, perfectly cooked, and finished with those irresistible crisp golden edges that pancake lovers dream about. Easily some of the best pancakes we've had in a very long time. Bosscat delivers on food, service, value, and atmosphere. It's rare to find a place that gets all four right, but they absolutely nailed it. We can't wait to come back!!

My wife and I had both versions of the wagyu burger, and they were both very good. I haven't had a lot of wagyu burgers so I can't really compare with others ... I like the fact they have both styles of burgers -- the thick tavern-style as well as the thin diner-style. I would have liked my Cadillac burger cooked as like more like medium with a little pink earth l rather than well done, but because of the quality of the meat it was still pretty juicy. You can see from the picture that the side of fries is very generous. And this was the small! I do also wish they had onion rings as an option for sides, though. Overall, a great choice for a more up-scale burger.
