He was personable, funny and made a lasting impression. My wife and I decided to have an impromptu date on a random Wednesday and we were pleasantly surprised to see Tony at our Table again! Same great experience, great recommendations. Tony is a pro. He recommended the Lechon Asado and he was not wrong. The pork was extremely tender and the Congris was delicious. I highly recommend this location, but you have to ask for Tony.

They offer more food and my friends enjoyed all the delicious and yummy Cuban food. Our server Tony really took good care of us. He was funny and made our dining experience an enjoyable and unforgettable event. He was so sweet preparing a specialty coffee ( instead of a cake ) as a treat for my birthday celebration. Thanks to Tony for your excellent customer service.

Because of the way they store the wine bottles the table was hidden from view until we were right next to it. It made for the perfect surprise when she walked in. Our table ordered a variety of menu items and cocktails with our meals. Everyone enjoyed and shared amongst our group. When it came to dessert they surprised my sister with a a little something so we could all terrorize her with our singing voices. Overall we had a great meal with excellent service. We couldn't have asked for a better spot to celebrate.

It was filling and flavorful, this is the kind of dish I would happily order again reliable, warm, satisfying, and especially enjoyable when you're craving something substantial rather than experimental. A solid plate of pasta that delivers exactly what you want from a Bolognese.

Wow, the place was super busy on a Saturday night. We had reservations at 7:30 and was seated at…read moreabout 7:45pm. One thing about Javier's is that ambiance never disappoints. They have plenty seating indoor and outdoor. We requested inside since it's been hot AF and us girlies we dressed up! We were not trying to melt while we ate. Drinks : drank it so fast I forgot to take a photo but the Tamarind Margarita is a MUST! Food: Chile verde 7/10 - was good but nothing crazy! Sauce is extra tangy. Mole poblano - 6/10 for the price I thought we would be getting more than one piece but that's our fault we didn't check other reviews of the pictures first. Although there was plenty mole on it, it was a bit dry. I'd pass on this next time. Steak fajitas - 9/10 - very juicy, tender and packed with flavor. I did wish they added more veggies to go along with it. Would definitely order again. Vibes: very poppin! Dim, good music , great for people watching! Even the restroom has an attendant like how you would see in the club restrooms. It's definitely a place to celebrate birthdays , anniversaries etc, so expect to pay $$$. Service : I saw some negative reviews about the service but we had a great experience. Staff was moving fast and even brought out some vanilla bean ice cream with 2 candles for the bday girls! Overall I would come again! Be sure to make a res in advance. Otherwise you gonna be huffin and puffin waiting as a walk in, and nobody likes to wait while they hungry!

From start to finish, the dining was excellent. I had the Pearodox cocktail which was delicious. We ordered the Baked Boursin cheese dip as our appetizer, which we couldn't get enough of. My only wish was that we got more of the baguette to scoop up the rest of that delicious dip. Finally, I had the chicken tacos for my entree. For the most part, you can't mess up a taco. But these tacos were better than good, they were packed with flavor from the corn tortilla to the well-seasoned chicken and melted cheese. More importantly though was the service; our waiter was friendly and brought out our food and drinks promptly. Hive and Honey gets tens across the board from me.

We've been to this location multiple times now and each time it has been the best experience. Everyone who works at this location is awesome and friendly and the food is always top tier! On our most recent visit we were blessed to be waited on by Cece, she was awesome! Amazing service and a great smile the whole time! Next time that we are in Anaheim or Costa Mesa we will stop by and hope to get Cece again! Thank you for a wonderful evening.

This was my first time and Puesto Los Olivos. I went with a group of friends on Taco Tuesday…read more(during the World Cup) and definitely had to make a reservation. I was sad that the entire patio was booked, but thankfully we had a great table inside. The food was really yummy, but I was sad that a few of their vegetarian options were not available due to the World Cup (which seemed odd). I did however love that they have 0 proof mocktails. That is always a plus. The interior of the restaurant was trendy and had a chic vibe. Looking forward to coming back soon!

This place is located inside a gorgeous shopping center in Irvine…read more It's located inside, Bacchus Bar and Bistro. Which, was extremely crowded. They have tons of parking in this shopping center. They share it with TONS of other places. One of my BFFs saw this on an Instagram video and wanted to check it out. *They do take reservations When we came in we checked in with one of the waitresses. She said she would seat us in a minute. To be honest, she did forget about us. A waiter walked up to us and asked us what was going on (we were standing there for around 7 - 10 minutes) and we told him we had a reservation for the speakeasy. He immediately apologized and sat us. This camp themed speakeasy has a couple booths. It's on the smaller sides. Which, speakeasy's are usually small to begin with. I did not get the waitresses name, my friend and I were busy catching up. The waitress was nice, but not attentive. I will say service was a 2/5. However, the actual restaurant, cozy pine is located in, was packed because of the World Cup being on TV. So I definitely was not going to complain The food Our food order did come out extremely FAST. Faster than our drink orders. -the campfire guacamole -BBQ shoestring fries (had bbq seasoning all over them so it tasted like a BBQ potato chip) -Glamping plate (charcuterie board) -steak tacos (one without onion and cilantro -churro affogato Again, the food was VERY fast!! And to be honest it wasn't that bad. I'll say, speakeasy's usually shine in the drink department vs food. Drinks -Lycheed and Loaded Ketel One, lychee liqueur, lemon, elderflower. This was extremely delicious! If you don't like to taste your alcohol? Go with this. It was really refreshing. Hand this to me at a spa and I'd be the happiest gal in the world -Camp Anawanna $17 Graham cracker-infused bourbon, licor 43, chocolate, torched marshmallow (the waitress catches the marshmallow on fire at the table) This one was stronger and I didn't think it was overly sweet despite the ingredients I think they had a good selection, especially for a small speakeasy. I have been to better, so I don't think I'd return. Especially since the service was not that great. We still had a good time and recommend for every speakeasy lovers list.

Loved this place!!! Not only did it have beautiful design and fun drinks, the food was so good!…read more I would recommend to make a reservation or join the waitlist on the way over, we thought we could just walk in but it was an hour wait that ended up only being around 30 minutes! The front door staff was kind and she explained the 2 hour strict dining policy as she walked us to our table. I was blown away by the beauty of this place, it reminded me of an adult version of the rainforest cafe. My friends and I started off with a few drinks-- mai tais and the dole whip drink they have. Both were really good but the dole whip is out of this world. For food we shared wings, poke bombs, coconut shrimp, spicy edamame, and fries. The portions are decent for the price but it makes sense because the food is so flavorful. My favorite item was the spicy chili wings. I think this is such a great place for hanging out with friends or date night.
