    Ceasar Salmon Caesar Salad (LF)
    Jus E.

    Everything was really good!!! The food was amazing and we went for lunch they have a great selection of food for their lunch menu! The cocktails were really good and fun!!! The ambiance was great we sat outside but it is really open and spacious! very sociable! The service was great! She kept coming and checking on us and also gave us a birthday ice cream dessert for our friend's birthday, which was also delicious! I will for sure be back here and I highly recommend it! If you want to catch up with friends and have lunch dates it's perfect!

    Late night dinner with my love. We like coming here because we love the vibe. It's a very nice restaurant. They have a couple of sort of vegan options and depending on the server, sometimes they are accommodating. The food is good. We chose from the happy hour menu. The food and drinks are great! Our server was super nice. Next, I'll take more pictures.

    Been to the Carlsbad location a few times (and enjoyed the food), so I was stoked to see this location while in AV. It was early and a chill vibe in there, so my husband and I gave their happy hour a try! Wonderful service from Emily that day, who made our first happy hour experience here, a happy one! LOL. Order up: - Al Pastor Fish Tacos (refreshing with the lime squeeze!) - Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts (bursting w/ umami and nice crunch with the almond slivers) - Wings (awesome meat:bone ratio on the drumettes, ordered them plain w/ sweet chili and ranch on the side) - Nachos (can't go wrong w/ a classic appy, gonna add steak on it next time for some protein) Bummer we wanted to try the Korean Beef Frachos but it wasn't available, so I guess we'll come back again for those! To wash it all down, a Voo Doo Stout (Left Coast) for me, and a Slap & Tickle IPA (Brewery X) for the hubz. CHEERS and happy eating till next time...

    My first time at Eureka and it's so close to home. Loved their lunch specials. All the food we ordered was so fresh and delicious. Service was amazing. They kept checking on our table to see we needed anything else. We ate outside and it was a beautiful day. Inside has a bar and TV screen for sports. Will definitely come back.

    We found it! anyway lovely mocktails and out of this world truffle fries.. For dessert we tried the Bourbon barrel cake, delish! Ate it so fast forgot to take a picture It was busy so service could have been better but it was understandable. We sat on the patio nice romantic lighting. Those fries will keep me coming back.

    This is a big room with high ceilings, mitigating the noise. Service was provided by Julia (Giulia?), who was a great help with menu and beer suggestions. Great lunch options at $13. Happy hour drink prices look to be pretty decent. Fish and chips are good but small compared with commensurate dishes in the area. The Fish Tacos al Pastor are excellent. I would prefer the tortillas to be trending to crispy but not crunchy-crispy. French fries (chips) were cooked perfectly and seasoned well.

    First time visiting this chain. Enjoyed great food, cocktails, and service at the Aliso Viejo location. Chicken nachos, Brussels sprouts and burger were all tasty. Love how spacious it is, making it perfect for big groups, celebrations, or just catching up with friends over drinks. They offer happy hour and weekly specials.

    Eureka did it again! Wonderful service headed up by A super General Manager ( Loren ) and his terrific wait staff! We had a Birthday party for almost 40 folks who were all very happy ! Food was great and well prepared in a timely manner! The restaurant was spotless and sanitary practices were well observed' Atmosphere for dining on the patio was excellent ! Just go and enjoy the whole experience! Gary Bain Lt .Col USAF ret

    Eureka is hands down one of my favorite places to go! The food and drinks are always great, but what really keeps me coming back is the incredible staff. Ryan is an amazing manager who truly goes above and beyond to make sure every guest has a great experience. His leadership is obvious in the way the entire team operates. A huge shoutout to Celeste, Courtney, and Kaleah behind the bar--they are absolutely fantastic! They're friendly, attentive, and always make you feel welcome. No matter how busy it is, they consistently provide outstanding service and make sure you're well taken care of. Their positive attitudes and excellent customer service make every visit enjoyable. If you're looking for great food, drinks, and an exceptional team that genuinely cares about their guests, I highly recommend Eureka!

    Great food, this location is quite busy. Very dark ambiance but the service and food were great. The Al pastor fish tacos had a good kick. The dishes here are great. Will definitely come back for more.

    Goat cheese citrus salad is really good.

    I've been back so many times since my first time but I just wanted to give a shout out to our server Katie tonight. She was so sweet, happy, friendly. Had a great time as usual.

    Came in for brunch today and got to enjoy a scrumptious breakfast burrito. Son got the Eureka American which he loved. Service was amazing by our waitress. She brought my son some oranges and carrots while we waited for the food. Ambiance is the best. I love the interior, it's gorgeous always! Low lights and plants puts me in the best mood.

I've been a loyal customer of Ironwood for years and have ordered many of the same dishes countless times. In the past, I consistently praised the restaurant for how reliably good the food was. Sadly, that is no longer the experience. This is now the third time in recent months that I've had to send my food back, either because it was overwhelmingly salty or because the meat was cooked to the point of being tough and dry as leather. We have repeatedly mentioned to the staff that the food has become far too salty, yet the problem continues. The chicken schnitzel is a particularly disappointing example. I've ordered this dish easily more than 30 times over the years. It used to be one of my favorites, and I would actually add a little salt to it myself. Now, the amount of salt is so excessive that it literally burns your throat. Something clearly seems to have changed in the kitchen, because this is no longer an isolated bad meal. After years of being loyal customers and huge fans of Ironwood, we've reached the point where consistently having a disappointing meal makes it difficult to justify continuing to support the restaurant. It's truly a shame because we've loved this local restaurant for years and have recommended it to so all of our friends, neighbors, and family. We have celebrated all of our birthdays, anniversaries, and family holiday dinners here. I sincerely hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and finds its way back to the level of quality and consistency that made us such loyal customers in the first place.

It's fast-casual, but everything was clean, the food came out quickly, and everyone was incredibly welcoming. We tried the bulgogi bowl, soft tofu soup, the muscat grape lemonade, and the pomegranate lemonade. The grape lemonade was such a fun surprise--it uses Asian muscat grape instead of the artificial "American grape" flavor we're used to. It's a rare flavor to find and was honestly so refreshing. Both lemonades came out beautifully presented with fresh fruit, which was a really nice touch. The soft tofu soup was excellent. The broth had a rich, silky mouthfeel and tasted homemade rather than like it was made from one of the premade soup bases. It was deeply flavorful without being overwhelming. Everything was served piping hot, exactly as these dishes should be. The bulgogi bowl was also delicious and came with a very generous portion of beef. Serving sizes overall were huge--both of us ate until we were full and still had enough leftovers to take home. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. If you've been wanting to try Korean food but weren't sure where to start, I think this is a fantastic introduction. Authentic flavors, generous portions, friendly people, and a great value. We'll definitely be back.

I love their Kalbi set which is plenty of food for my husband and me to share. We have tried the combo set with unmarinated brisket + Kalbi and thought the Kalbi was perfectly tender and tastefully seasoned, but the brisket was a bit tough and chewy. The second time, we ordered the combo set with Kalbi + bulgogi and we loved it so much that we went back a third time and ordered the same thing and loved it the third time as well. The bulgogi was tender and flavorful and went well with the lettuce and tasty ssamjang (thick chili/bean paste dipping sauce). The soft tofu it comes with was also a welcome part of the meal and all of the banchan side dishes were also excellent. Some Korean restaurants serve banchan dishes that are all cloyingly sweet, but at Nasung, all of the banchans are fresh, well balanced, savory, and pair perfectly with everything else. This BBQ set really is a great value and feels like a symphony of flavors that come together perfectly into one well orchestrated meal for two. We haven't tried the other dishes, though I want to try... but that combo Kalbi set keeps calling to me and I can never resist.

When we ordered drinks, the bartender already seemed a bit rude and unwelcoming, which set the tone for the visit. To avoid any issues and just enjoy ourselves, we decided to sit outside quietly. Unfortunately, the situation got worse. Two employees came outside and approached us in a very disrespectful way and made a racist remark, referring to us as "two tequilas" and saying "clean up those two tequilas," basically telling us we needed to leave immediately. It was extremely uncomfortable and offensive. No customer should ever be treated that way. Restaurants and bars should be places where everyone feels welcome and respected. Allowing employees to behave in a racist and disrespectful manner toward customers is unacceptable. What makes it even more disappointing is that I was actually considering bringing a group of coworkers here in the future. After this experience, I absolutely won't be doing that. The service was rude, unprofessional, and completely ruined what should have been a relaxing afternoon.
